I was so terrified of the dentist I hadn't been for a number of years but from the initial phone call to the care and treatment I have had, has been amazing. Kelly the hygienist and Carly were absolutely fantastic and I think I nearly fell asleep at one point I was that comfortable. Dr Goosen who I saw initially is so professional and will do his best to save teeth, I have not finished treatment yet but I will never fear the dentist whilst being a patient at ramsbottom dental care. Thank you everyone including the lovely reception ladies 10/10 service.I look forward to my next visit.

Dr Fernando Bockman has been amazing, after recovering from Cancer I knew from the day I met Dr F B after speaking with him that I was in very good hands and have been ever since. He’s so attentive and makes you feel at ease, ( as I’m a very nervous person when it comes to going to the dentist after many years of trauma with two dental practice)And Kelly the hygienist, again advising me the best way to take care of my teeth.People don’t realise what trouble you have with your teeth after having such intense cancer treatment. Now I have more confidence, thanks to Dr F B and Kelly.Not to mention how fantastic you're greeted by the receptionist on every visit.Thank you

Second post , my daughter had suffered with poor dental care to the point where she was terrified to visit a dentist. I asked her to just try here. What a revelation, she was put at ease with Fernando, not an easy task and Johan performed a complicated procedure, the fact that she’s booked further treatment is unbelievably good , thank you

Johan has been my Dentist for 10 years, he's an excellent Dentist who takes great pride in his work. I've just completed having a dental implant with Johan, I knew he would do a great job, but being an anxious patient I had conscious sedation with Dental Sedation Solutions who the surgery have teamed up with. The procedure was brilliant, it was anxiety and stress free. I would highly recommend this surgery for a First Class Dental Experience from the minute you walk through the door.Kristine

I have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence in Johan and his team at Ramsbottom Dental Care. About two years ago a front tooth broke and I have had an implant fitted. It was a masterclass in dental engineering. A 3 dimensional scan is made of the jaw and information transferred to a CAD (Computer Aided design) system. The implant is fitted using a guidance jig and the end result is a perfect match in size, alignment and tooth shade.Johan is very professional and pays a lot of attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team.R C Barker

I had the pleasure of visiting Ramsbottom Dental Care today, and I must say it was a surprisingly positive experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly.The receptionist was welcoming and the waiting area was really pleasant and comfortable, making the brief wait enjoyable.Sophie, my dentist, and her assistant Shannon were exceptional. They took the time to explain each step of the examination process and Sophie took the time to go over all of my treatments options in great detail which really helped me to decide the best option for me.What also stood out was the modern and well-equipped facility. The use of advanced technology not only made the procedures more efficient but also instilled confidence in the quality of care provided.Overall, my visit to Ramsbottom Dental Care was really positive. I left feeling well taken care of, and I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone in search of a friendly, professional, and technologically advanced dental experience. Kudos to the entire team for making a routine dental visit such a pleasant one. If only all dentists were like this!

From making the initial call with Sarah to treatment I had a fantastic experience.Amazing atmosphere, perfect for nervous patients like myself! I have worried for years about going to the dentist and “Sophie & Shannon made it all disappear. They were both so patient with me and reassured me throughout the appointment . Taking time to explain everything and what to expect, I never felt pressured or rushed it was exactly what I needed to gain some confidence. I cannot thank all the staff enough and would recommend to anyone who maybe like myself and have worries and concerns.

This practice is by far the very best I have been to - ever! ALL the staff are amazing, from the warmest of welcomes on reception, to the most fantastic and 'state of the art' dental treatment by an experienced, professional and extremely caring dental team. The premises are inviting, relaxing, and absolutely spotless. I've instantly gone from a terrified patient to feeling reassured and happy with my treatment plan - in a very short period of time. I just wish we had found them sooner, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them (in fact I do so at every opportunity!) Never before has a dentist extracted my teeth without sedation, but Dr Johan did so with the very minimum of discomfort. I have now regained my smile, and could not be happier - thank you!

Fitted a new bridge tooth in a very small space. The attention to detail and care taken was excellent. Cannot tell it is not a real tooth and matches perfectly..

We lived in Canada for 20 years and when we returned to the UK eight years ago we struggled to find a hygienist as thorough as our Canadian hygienist. Then we found Ramsbottom Dental Clinic and Kelly the hygienist. She is thorough but gentle and a lovely friendly person. The new premises are lovely with a large airy and bright waiting area. The receptionists are great and always make you feel welcome. I thoroughly recommend this dental practice.Lesley Welbourne

I started visiting Ramsbottom Dental care a number of years ago when I heard they were good at working with anxious patients! I have now used three of the dentists there and am a regular on the dental plan; a regular check up amd hygienist clean for not much more than a tenner a month.Today I had a crown undertaken and cannot fault the work. I didn't feel a thing; fast, efficient and pain-free.All of the staff are friendly, helpful and reassuring; appointments at times convenient to me are always available and I would recommend everyone to give them a try.

Went to see Dr Sophie yesterday with my 12 year old daughter who had chipped her front tooth. Sophie & her assistant Jo were absolutely lovely & did the most amazing job restoring her tooth to its former beauty with composite bonding. Thank you soooooo much from both me & Olivia. I am so impressed with this dental practice, from my initial call & correspondence with Sarah, up to the appointment itself & would highly recommend.

Composite bonding is a nonporous material meaning that it has the potential to stain over time 🦷 Certain habits, foods, and drinks also have the potential to cause discolouration of composite bonding 🍝🍷

To preserve your teeth and reduce the likelihood of staining your composites you should try to avoid smoking, tea, coffee, red wine, carbonated drinks, curries, and sauces which are all pigmented foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. As an extra precaution, use a straw when drinking liquids to avoid contact directly with your teeth.

Regular check-ups and routine cleaning with your dentist is also great way of dealing with stains and can make your bonding look like new again 🤩

Dr Ronette is a perfectionist what can we say 😅🙌🏻 

#dentaljokes #dentalhumor #dentaljokesarefunny #dentalperfection #funnydentist #dentist #wednesdayfunday
Many people think that brushing their teeth as hard and fast as they can, gives them a healthy, clean and white smile 🦷🪥

BUT it has the opposite effect. Brushing your teeth in this way wears away the white, glossy enamel making your teeth look yellow and darker. Dr Ronette explains 🙌🏻

When a patient doesn’t show up to their appointment and say they didn’t get confirmation

You can’t pull that one on Linda 😅
