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!
100% recommended for routine and emergency appointments.
Many options available regarding treatment, informed patient choice.
Great experience for my mouth.
Plamen!

I continue to be with this dental practice and as of October 2024 I can honestly say that this is a first class practice. I have had quite a lot of treatment over a four year period and in every case the work done was of the highest calibre with the most excellent, caring and highly professional team.

Great office located directly on Meads High Street.The front desk staff makes you feel right at home immediately when you walk in the door. Everything was on time and it was an extremely professionally run office. Dr.Kozhuharov was very professional examining and providing with solutions by priority.
He was very informative, nice,highly professional with great attention to detail!
The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding. I’ve been going with them for a complicated process and then for keeping up.Every visit is like visiting friends. I couldn’t be happier with results.
Every treatment is executed with high precision and amazing results (and also painless!!!)
Highly recommend!
You can't find better dental practice in Eastbourne.
I felt welcome from the minute I walked in the door. The staff were so lovely and friendly my nerves were settled in seconds. Dr Plamen Kozhuharov is not only the best dentist I’ve ever had work on my teeth, he’s an absolute gem of a fella! Can’t thank the team enough. I’ll be recommending everyone to come here for the sheer quality and care delivered.
Many Thanks,
Jamie Woods
I would happily recommend to any other nervous patients. I have had excellent service
I cannot imagine that many people want to extol about a visit to the dentist! However, after spending about 15 years in the wilderness of dentists I discovered Mr. Kozhuharov. I had to have a large molar extracted which I knew would be difficult, and whilst not normally an anxious person at the dentist I was so so nervous. However, I can honestly say that I was made to feel so much calmer within 10 minutes of sitting in the chair due to his professionalism and confident demeanour. Everything was thoroughly explained to me and the extraction was done with ease and I can honestly say I cried with joy! Mr Kozhuharov is the most proficient, calming dentist. I would highly recommend him.
The surgery itself is immaculate, clean and smart, as is the dentist himself. I am relieved to know that he has opened this practice. I totally recommend him.
