About Sturry Dental Practice

Here at Sturry Dental Practice - Best Dental Clinic in Canterbury, all dental care is carried out in modern well equipped surgeries by very experienced staff using only high quality materials. We have high infection control standards and a dedicated decontamination and sterilising room. Our first priority is the prevention of dental disease. All ages can benefit from regular visits to our Hygienist for help and advice with daily cleaning. Children will also benefit from regular fluoride application and preventive resin sealants. Not all treatments are appropriate for every patient and are conditional on a full examination. Some more complex surgical and implant treatments may require referral to a specialist for part of the treatment plan. We offer a wide range of treatments including: Examination and x-rays Scale and polish including oral hygiene and diet advice White Fillings Root canal treatment Crowns Bridges to replace missing teeth Dentures – plastic, metal or flexible Extractions Implants Invisible braces Whitening Sports mouthguards Tooth knocked out If an adult tooth is knocked out contact us immediately, replacing the tooth within an hour gives the best chance of survival. Holding the tooth by the crown rinse the root under cold water for ten seconds- do not rub or touch the root. The tooth needs to be kept moist, this can be done by holding it in your mouth between your cheek and gum (not recommended for young children), or put it in a clean container and cover with cold milk. Baby teeth cannot be reinserted, but please see us so we can check that no tooth is left. Dental pain It is always best to see us to check your teeth if you experience pain. In an emergency we recommend Ibuprofen (unless asthmatic, pregnant or sensitive to it) and Paracetamol. If you have swelling which affects breathing or swallowing you should go to A&E immediately. Broken Tooth Teeth can break through trauma or eating unexpected hard food, sometimes and old filling may break and fall out. This often leaves a sharp edge that can cut the soft tissues of the mouth. We can usually make you comfortable quickly by smoothing any sharp edges or placing a temporary filling. Broken Denture If your denture breaks we can arrange to have it repaired for you, this usually takes 24 hours. If you do not have a spare or cannot see us quickly you may be able to temporarily repair a plastic denture with heavy-duty super glue (cyanoacrylate). Be very careful to position the broken parts together correctly and ensure the glue is dry before wearing. Tooth knocked out of place If you can push the tooth back into position with gentle finger pressure and ring us for an appointment as soon as possible.

It’s hard to say just how happy I am with the work carried out by Waqas. Over the last 3 months I have had lots of appointments and work carried on my teeth. The result at today’s appointment is fantastic, I can smile without feeling self conscious at last. Waqas and Kennis have been so patient and kind as I was very nervous, I really recommend them. Thank you both!

My name is Lisa Wood, I can't seem to change my partners Google profile! I have been coming to Sturry Dental Practice for over 30 years. Martin Miller helped me with my overcome my nerves by being gentle, kind and patient. He recently retired and I moved across to Paul Gassman, as I heard so much good feedback, and also had been to him a few times when Martin was not available. I was nervous to start with but Paul and Lesley (dental nurse) were so welcoming, friendly, understanding and kind. I feel so incredibly releaved I have a new dentist I can trust and feel safe with. Paul has a very calming voice and he is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Paul, especially if you are a nervous patient, like myself.

Have been coming to Sturry Dental for a while and was a big change to have a new dentist. However Dr Basanta Shrestha was really friendly, chatty and I felt very comfortable and put at ease. He was very professional, did a thorough job and ensured I understood everything he was doing. He also gave me the opportunity to express my concerns. The rest of the team were also friendly and always come across very personable.

I have an autistic son who needed some urgent dental care. Thanks to the kindness and professional service of Dr Basanta and his reception staff and the excellent aftercare, I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Sturry Dental Practice. What was particularly impressive was they understood the needs of people with autism and adapted their approach to help my son with the dental procedure on the day and provide guidance on how he could improve his dental hygiene.

I had a great experience at Sturry Dental Practice today. This was my first visit, and I was impressed by the clean and quiet environment. The nurses were very kind and helpful, which made me feel relaxed before my appointment. Dr. Basanta was highly professional in assessing my dental concerns. During my check-up and cleaning, he was thorough and attentive, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the procedure without rushing. I’m very happy with the service and would gladly recommend this practice to my friends.
