Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr Divya was thorough, gentle, and explained everything clearly. The practice was clean and well-organised. Highly recommend!A massive thank you to Dr Divya and her assistant Ramneet. Very personable people who made it clear what was the best course of action for my treatment. I have already booked again to get minor treatments again because i felt that I was in really good hands.Also a thank you to Millie on reception another personable member of staff that was clear where I needed to be and what I needed to fill out.

I visited with my three children today and all the staff were fantastic.My three year old son was very confident and that was built on by the dentist who was encouraging and provided praise.My 5 year old was a little worried having recently loosing her first tooth closely followed by her second. The dentist was very reassuring telling her that was fine and normal at this age for it to start happening but reminding her she must brush twice a day and look after the adult teeth very well. She also had a slight filling in the back, so reminded her of sugary snacks. Which my daughter has listened to as has not had pudding tonight 🤣Now my 8 year old bless her was told 6 months ago that she needed to wobble her top tooth as the new one was coming through ready or not. Unfortunately it had yet to vacate. This has been really troubling my daughter. The dentist explained they use numbing gel and give it a little wobble. My daughter initially got upset but after I calmed her and explained what numbing gel did and he would get it out easy, she agreeed to give it a go as she wanted it gone. The dentist did not rush me in talking to her, and understood that she needed time to understand and calm. I truly believe if we’d left it another month or two we would have had to get her back in kicking and screaming because she was so anxious today, but after the initial shock of it coming out she was so proud of herself and the instant relief that it’s done with was clear and we are so proud of her!Thank you church lane dental 🦷 5🌟

I'd been complaining of pain to my regular dentist for a while and two hours after a visit where they said nothing was wrong, the affected molar cracked right through. I went back and after an X-ray was told that the tooth was so badly broken below the gum line and into the pulp that extraction was the only possibility. I replied that "I'm not going to ring around tomorrow and find that it could be saved with a root canal and crown am I?", and my dentist said, "No, that's not possible - it can't be saved. You can get a second opinion if you like, but they'll tell you the same thing".The next day I thought it would be a good idea to find an expert in the field. I suggested to my wife that instead of looking for a practice, we look for the best practitioner in endodontics and see if I could get an appointment. She came across Dr. Raj Koner and he was able to see me that day. After examining the tooth he said he'd treated a lot worse and I booked in to get the tooth repaired.The subsequent experience was completely different to anything I'd encountered before and has made me wonder just how many extractions have been carried out on teeth that could have been saved by the right professional. The equipment used was well in advance of the previous RCTs I'd had with my regular dentists - no guessing about the root apex, detailed measurements, and specialised equipment to clean out the tissue. The temporary crown was perfect and well-bonded and when the final preparation was done a scanner was used rather than impressions being taken. The final crown only required a very minor adjustment and is indistinguishable from the rest of my teeth and fitted below the gum line, unlike my previous crowns.An unexpected outcome is my jaw muscles and bite feel completely different and relaxed - a lifelong tendency to grind my teeth in my sleep ceased almost immediately.Overall this has been a really positive experience and Dr. Koner's enthusiasm, diligence and professionalism are exceptional. Plus, he's a really likeable, uplifting person to be around and takes all the stress out of what can be an anxious procedure. The reception staff are all attentive and pleasant and the whole practice is reassuring.

I had an excellent experience with the dental practice yesterday and honestly can't thank them enough.I had been experiencing high levels of pain through the night and Saturday, with another night of not sleeping approaching I booked a late night emergency appointment. Despite being a non registered patient they were able to see me the same night, with my calling at 8:45PM and my appointment being ag 10:15PM, The registration process was simple and completed over the phone when I made my appointment, which really helped considering my pain levels at the time.When I arrived I was guided to the upstairs waiting area which was clean and comfortable, I was able to see the dentist earlier as he had finished with a prior patient ahead of schedule.The dentist, Uwais, and his dental assistant, Tayeb, were absolutely brilliant. They were both reassuring, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly throughout. As an emergency private patient, I was understandably concerned about the overall cost, but Uwais was completely upfront about pricing at every stage so there were no surprises. For example, after the initial examination he recommended an X-ray but made it very clear that this was my choice and explained it would cost £15.The examination identified an infection in the root of my tooth, with decay under a previous filling from my regular dentist that had spread. All treatment options and associated risks were explained clearly, and we agreed that extraction was the best option. It was explained that a standard extraction would be attempted first, but due to the tooth’s location and condition a more complex extraction might be required at a higher cost reassuringly, I was also told that colleagues were available on site if that became necessary.Thankfully, the standard extraction was successful. Most importantly, I was finally able to sleep soundly afterwards. I genuinely can’t thank the practice enough for offering this service without them, I would have faced at least two more nights in severe pain waiting to contact my usual dentist.I would highly recommend this practice to anyone needing urgent dental care.

Really helpful service, Hardeep was very confident and reassuring dentist. Having had a few bad experiences, he probably is the best dentist I’ve ever seen. Receptionist, Lauren went above and beyond and Dipika was very helpful in the operation too! Great team, all smiles 🌸

Lovely Dental Practice so friendly & helpful. I was seen within an hour of calling as an emergency patient by Taffy who was amazing! She put me at ease straight away. She was very knowledgeable & explained everything well. I had an infection in a root remainng from a previous tricky extraction at my normal practice which was addressed with antibiotics and I have an appointment with an Oral surgeon to remove the root in a weeks time. I highly recommend Taffy & the Church Lane practice!

Had a root canal last night with Bav, the dentist and dental nurse Sarah. Both very attentive and professional and even though the procedure was very lengthy, I was pain free and comfortable, thank you. Upon arrival to the dentists the receptionist Amelia greeted me with friendliness and kindness, and when I went to pay another receptionist, Gemma, came in from outside. She had finished her shift at the other site and saw that her colleague had a queue. She went above and beyond and helped out, making my experience a lot quicker and more efficient! Thank you for a 5 star experience 🙌🏻😎

Came in for a tooth extraction and Dr Raj Koner was brilliant and top class. He got the tooth out straight away and I felt no pain and I always felt in safe hands at Church Lane Dental. Best dentist I’ve ever been to. In the past I needed to be put to sleep but Dr Raj was amazing and kept me calm and got the tooth out straight away. Really great service and I will only come to Church Lane Dental in the Future!

I can highly recommend this dental practice. I needed an emergency apppointment and they booked me in the same day. Gemma on Reception was so welcoming, helpful and professional . Dr Amnol was also very welcoming and explained the procedure so I felt relaxed. The temporary surgery required was successfully completed to allow me to go on holiday and then a future appointment made to complete the necessary dental work required. I am very grateful.

I recently visited to have a chipped tooth repaired, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly, professional, and reassuring.The dentist explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, and did an absolutely outstanding job fixing my tooth. The result looks completely natural—you can’t even tell it was ever chipped.I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of care and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a skilled and caring dentist, I highly recommend. Thank you for giving me my smile back!

I have had a tooth extracted today. I felt anxious to begin with, but luckily I was made to feel comfortable and welcomed. The dentist (I believe his name is Chris) who helped with my problem was absolutely brilliant, gentle, quick and efficient. I am grateful for the pain free experience! Will be back soon!

Have just returned home from having one of my wisdom tooth out. This has been the best dental surgery I have been to. I.ve been to a few.Raj is fantastic. As a anxious patient. He is always so enthusiastic, chatty and professional. Makes you feel at ease, and takes care of you. I like that the music is on, makes you feel less nervous. A good distraction.Would also like to say that all the staff at front desk are always friendly.Again, Thanks Raj. And to the dental nurse from Wolverhampton (sorry, didn't ask your name) for making my visit tonight less traumatic. 🥰Jayne Payne

I recently had a root canal treatment with Raj at Church Lane, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I arrived, Raj made me feel comfortable and at ease. He explained the procedure thoroughly, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had. What impressed me the most was how painless the entire treatment was – I barely felt a thing! Raj was incredibly reassuring, keeping my mind off the procedure with his friendly and professional demeanor. The service was top-notch, and it's clear he's highly skilled in his field. The results are fantastic, and I'm so grateful for the excellent care I received. If you're looking for a dentist who provides great service, is gentle, and does an outstanding job, I highly recommend Raj at Church Lane. A truly 5-star experience!
