Been with this practice for nearly 2 years. I had not been to a dentist for 7 years before joining the practice so my teeth were not in very good condition.The Treatment Ive had, advice and the correct dental plan means in 2 years my teeth and gums are the healthiest and strongest they been in years.For patients, like myself, who had a fear of visiting the dentist Johnathan is very calming and puts you at ease. He takes time to talk to you and explain treatment, you never feel rushed.Excellent dentist. Excellent practice.
Jonathan is one of the most caring Dentist's you will ever meet, I have been a patient of his for many years, his expertise in all kinds of dental work is second to non, he also has a very caring dental nurse Katina Many thanks again Daphne Luker
Whitehall House Dental Practice came highly recommended to me. The practice is exceptional and Covid-19 compliant. Jonathan and his friendly team are extremely professional, fully explaining what procedures are required at the outset, providing a comprehensive dental plan. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice to others.
I am a new patient and was made to feel totally at ease and reassured by Jonathan who explained what every tooth in my mouth was doing regarding its health and a plan of treatment that is needed.I am looking to forward to getting started.I was made to feel very welcome by the reception team.I had my first hygenist appointment and again was very impressed by how everything was explained from start to finish. My teeth feel really good after.Thank you so much, I'm sure the rest of my family will be hot on my heels.

Johnathan was brilliant I had teeth taken out teeth filled all done in an hour. I did not feel the injection going in I had no pain during or after the dentistry. Jonathan was very gentle and the anasthetic was marvelous . This work was done in 2016. I Would not hesitate to recommend this practice especially if you are nervous of dentists. Thank you Jonathan from a very grateful patient.
I would thoroughly recommend Jonathan.He is an excellent dentist who puts you at ease especially if you are a nervous patient.Jonathan's work is so very professional, and he always spends time with you, talking you through your treatment plan and explaining everything in detail, so you know exactly what the treatment will entail. It is a painless experience, even root canal treatment!I have been a patient for a few years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. The dental nurse and hygienists are all excellent too!Jonathan is a true gentleman who is gentle, kind, efficient and very professional. An excellent dentist!Thank you!
Had a great experience with Jonathan and the team. I guess that the main aspect that made the difference was that they cared and rather than being treated as a patient where I came in, seen to, then out the door quickly, had a real sense of being looked after.

Many thanks to Jonathan and team for the wonderfull treatment I had today,I lost a front tooth and within two hours (and a visit to Colin at the lab ) I have a permanent replacement , I am so grateful
The team at Whitehall House Dental Practice provided me and my partner with a first rate service. Their care and attention to detail is second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
We recently joined Whitehall after many years without a Dentist and the experience has been fantastic! After having many negative experiences, my partner has learned to dread the Dentist but Dr Love is turning that around with patience and excellent care.
Jon and the team are excellent, very friendly and very professional highly recommended.
Just back from my first visit with my son. Lovely friendly team, super efficient and helpful, explained everything in simple terms, and made us both feel very relaxed and well looked after. Would highly recommend!
