About The Southernhay Dental Practice

The Southernhay Dental Practice - Best Dental Clinic in Exeter fully trained team are experienced, dedicated, caring and provide friendly, professional care using the most up-to-date general, cosmetic and specialist treatments available. We believe in completely transparent fees and can offer a range of payment options to suit all budgets.We have looked after generations of patients over 90 years and look forward to continuing to do so.The majority of our patients come here from personal recommendations. Expertise – we are a forward thinking team, and are continually improving and developing our skills, so that we may provide you with the very best service and up to date materials that are available. Sterility and cross infection control procedures are complied with to extremely high standards. We have complied to all CQC recommendations. We are located in the leafy business district of Southernhay, in the heart of Exeter City centre, adjacent to local offices and shops. There is plenty of parking nearby and we are well connected to bus and train routes. Because we are very well established, successful and busy, we are able to offer highly competitive fees; which means great value for our patients. Being a fairly large group practice we can afford high end equipment such as Digital Panoramic x-ray equipment which only a few other practices have. Each and every patient will have specific requirements and will need to be cared for in a way unique to them. At the Southernhay Dental Practice we have the time and the skills to do this. It certainly helps to be able to develop a happy professional relationship over the years. If something needs attention, we aim to provide all the facts about treatment options. This allows us to work through them together with you to achieve your goals. The best dentistry is actually no dentistry, and a lot of time and care is put into preventative treatment and advice. We have helped whole families have a life free of dental decay and gum disease and individually tailored their maintenance programmes to suit. Function of the teeth and restorations should be harmonious, so extending the lifespan of both. It is hard to improve on what nature has provided in most cases, but it is the duty of every practitioner to do the very best they can to mimic it. The field of dentistry is moving on rapidly and so we need to move with it. We are moving away from an era of ‘drill’ and ‘fill’ to one of rebuild and repair. Treatment is a considerable expense and so must be evidence based and long lasting. As we are keeping teeth longer we have greater wear of our teeth. With increasing expectations about dentistry, patients are demanding increasingly complex treatments. This requires more complex skills. Continually updating knowledge through training will enable us to deal with advanced dental problems and be able to offer replacing damaged or missing teeth with a variety of options including dental implants.

Ian and his colleagues at Southernhay Dental consistently deliver the kind of calm, kind and expert care that leaves you feeling completely reassured. Following a recent (complex and urgent) procedure, I wanted to add a review as a testament to Ian's calmness, kindness and clinical judgement. He went above and beyond what anyone could expect of their dentist and took control of a complex medical/dental situation. As a clinician myself I can honestly say that his skill and atttude is truly exceptional. Ian is simply a wonderful dentist — highly competent, wonderfully communicative and clearly dedicated to his patients' wellbeing. He is supported by a team that is always thoughtful, efficient and genuinely caring at every step. I've been a patient here for some years and have only ever received superb care. We feel immensely fortunate to be patients of Southernhay and cannot recommend the practice highly enough.

Just had my first appointment at Southernhay Dental Practice, and really recommend it. Ian is great, and the level of service and treatment throughout was 10/10

I have been a patient at this practice for many years now and have the pleasure of having Anna-Marie as my dentist. She immediately puts you at your ease and is so gentle and understanding. The receptionists are always helpful and friendly. Being a nervous patient, along with many others!, this surgery makes me attend regularly as do my grown up children now too! I would highly recommend this practice. 😊

Where do I start ? The whole experience I have had in this practice has been fantastic. From making appointments, to being greeted by the reception staff and the dentists and their team I have felt truly valued and taken care of .I came to the practice a bit forlorn as my previous dental experience had left me in need of restorative treatment .My dentists Ian and Issy were very attentive, listened to my concerns and organised a series of appointments to suit my schedule and get me sorted . They have truly been the best practioners I have ever used . I can’t recommend this practice highly enough and have told anyone who will listen to get their teeth and oral health checked by them only ! . I’m one very satisfied patient .

I have been using Ian at Southernhay Dental Practice for over 2 years now and I could not recommend Ian and the team enough! After using a few dentists in the past and losing confidence in them you definitely feel reassured by what Ian is saying and that he’s there to help and not just make money. The pricing is very reasonable for the service you get. A truly professional company (getting rare these days) Thank you for all your help!

I have used Southernhay Dental Practice for all of my families dental care for many years. From the receptionists to the dentists to the hygienists - all faultless. I'm about to move away from Devon but will continue to travel back for my dental care to Southernhay. Am delighted that Ian now has a succession plan as his daughter has joined the practice. I have recently had treatment with her for some cosmetic whitening and can definitely recommend her skill and knowledge. Thankyou all for your continued care attention and service.
