What people say about us
A routine visit to the Hygienist showed a serious problem in part of my gum which necessitated an urgent examination by a dentist. The entire team at the Practice worked together. The dentist managed to see me between patients and after what was a very thorough examination ( xrays etc) was able to give me the “all clear”.
I had been particularly upset as I am recovering from cancer treatment.
I cannot thank everyone enough for the professional and caring way they dealt with me and can thoroughly recommend them.
Thank you all again Meads Dental Practice.

As a most satisfied patient of the Meads Village Dental Practice, I can highly recommend Plamen Kozhuharov DDM as a dentist and the staff are most courteous and helpful. The visit to the practice to have a tooth taken out, is almost a pleasure!!!! I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire practice.
Absolutely brilliant, very professional, didn’t hurt a bit!
A true craftsman
Great dentist, lovely work. Highly recommended.

A good experience, a very nervous patient was made to feel very relaxed. thank you.

Very impressed with Plamen and the thorough examination. I am a nervous patient and he put me at ease very quickly. Excellent!

First time I've had fillings with no need for an injection for the drilling. Really surprised and very pleased with the new type of drill.

An amazing result! I'm so pleased with the end result. I was made to feel very relaxed throughout the procedure for my inlay. very happy! thank you

Had a filling today without an injection. It was a painfree experience. The dentist & the nurse both took time to explain the procedure in detail. I was so nervous when I came in & genuinely worried about what was to come! I needn't have been it was all good & I've left feeling more relaxed about the whole "dental" thing!

Very happy with filling procedure - no pain & quick

I had a back upper filling with no injection no pain or discomfort, quick & dare I say pleasant experience!
