I have had a number of appointments with my regular dentist Mo and an emergency appointment with another member of the team as well as appointment with the hygienist. They have all been satisfactory and I felt well cared for. I am happy to recommend the practice to my friends.

Everyone was very sweet and caring. For someone who is nervous about dental work, it has a lovely atmosphere which helps relax you. Hope was amazing, listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. She even advised me on a way to move forward with treatment that may even save me some money overall! A perfect dental practice if ever there was one 🤍

I couldn't recommend Cheadle Hulme Dental and Cosmetics enough! All the staff have been extremely helpful throughout. They took time to explain my options and different treatment plans, to ensure I was happy and the results so far have been great!Dylan

I’d like to say a huge thank you for everything that Cheadle Hulme Dental has done for me over the last 18 months.From start to finish, the care I’ve received has been absolutely fantastic.I’d like to say a special thank you to Shi & Kelsey for looking after me so well throughout the whole process, going the extra mile to ensure I was completely happy with everything.After having an accident over 10 years ago that left me with no front teeth, I was forced to wear dentures from the age of 11.To now have permanent dental implants, it’s safe to say that this treatment has completely changed my life!I couldn’t have asked for a better team to give me my smile back😁I can’t recommend Cheadle Hulme Dental enough!Forever grateful,Ava x

So far I've had a great experience at Cheadle Hulme dental. All appointments have run to time. Staff on reception helpful and friendly, and easy to contact if changing appointments have been needed.Periodontal treatment is going well. Muataz is very professional and really takes time to make sure I understand what's happening and answer any questions. I would definitely recommend using them.

I sent an online enquiry via the website which was easy and simple to complete. I was contacted within 24 hours by a member of the team and invited into the practice for a free consultation at my convenience. The consultation relaxing, friendly and developed my knowledge and understanding of cosmetic procedures. I was given rough estimates of costing and shown examples of dentistry work for what I wanted to achieve. The team are all very friendly, Informative and the practice is very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend.

I feel like a new person after getting my two dental implants with the team at CH.I was understandably nervous about a procedure which I perceived as pretty big and scary. But I feel like, given the incredible care, treatment & aftercare I've received, I've pretty much attained a fear free attitude towards going to the dentist and the whole process felt straightforward, guided and of the highest standard set in the most impressive facility.The whole experience has been worth every penny! When anyone mentions cosmetic dentistry to me, I send them to Cheadle..Thank you again to Dr. Karim and the wider team!

I have been going to Cheadle Hulme Dental for several years. I first registered with them for cosmetic work but now I also attend for general dental care. All the dentists are very experienced and always welcoming, and they adhere to a high standard of care. They give lots of useful advice and the treatments are always pain free. The new location is lovely, very clean and modern.

From the exterior of the building to first entering, my initial reaction was WOW. This is not like any dental practice I've ever been to. As soon as I approached the desk I was greeted by 2 lovely ladies, both smiling and a lovely welcome. Not quiet what you get when you go into some practices. So straight away I felt so at ease. Taking in the decor and surroundings, it is beautiful and spotlessly clean. I was so nervous about going to see about teeth whitening, but as soon as I met Dr Karim and his wonderful friendly staff, all the worry disappeared. I was made to feel like I already knew them as they asked about me personally and not just trying to push a hard sell. All of the staff were so lovely and kind and explained what the treatment would entail in easy to understand language. I can't wait to see the finished results and I would not hesitate to recommend this practice. It's a ten out of ten from me. 💚

Great practice. Has definitely improved over the years. The new location and practice itself is very clean and welcoming and the receptionists and staff are lovely. I had teeth alignment done a few years ago which was good and now I attend for other treatment/services which are good too.

Sarah Hill

18:55 08 Jan 24

An excellent dental practice that I have been a customer of for over 13 years. The new location is lovely and super modern. The reception team are always welcoming. Our dentist Mo is very nice and caring, putting my daughter and I at ease. I look forward to visiting again and recommend this practice to all.

Emma Clarke

10:20 19 Dec 23

I have been very happy with the service so far. The staff have made me feel at ease and are able to answer any questions I have. My dentist is very personable and I appreciate that she is realistic with me about treatment and does not give the hard sell. She helped me decide on the right treatment plan and know what to expect.

My first appointment at this dental practice was excellent. I was put totally at ease and everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. My examination was thorough and fully explained. Today I had my first session with the hygienist and I can truly say I felt comfortable during the whole cleaning process. My teeth look and feel amazing and am looking forward to having a small chip on a front tooth filled next week. The 'Old Nat West Bank' in Cheadle Hulme has been transformed into a beautiful Dental Practice, keeping it's original features. You walk in and are welcomed by a warm and inviting surrounding which has been very tastefully refurbished. Most importantly though, the quality of the service they provide is 1st class. Can't recommend enough!

Jonny Hill

17:43 11 Dec 23

A truly excellent practice. I have been a patient here 13 years. The new site is amazing with a modern feel. From the moment you open the door, the reception team are super friendly. Today I saw Mo, who reassured me that my teeth were in great shape and offered advice on how to maintain proper care. Prior to that, the hygienist did a great job of assessing my teeth and ensuring they were at their best. She is great at putting you at ease. Thank you both!

Me and my family have used the practice for over 15 years. The practice is very modern and the care and attention shown by all the staff to both me and my children is exceptional. I would have no doubt in recommending the practice. As mentioned, the staff are wonderful and just go the extra mile to make you feel valued, and at ease.

I have recently changed practices and moved to Cheadle Hulme Dental. From day one, my experience has been nothing short of excellent. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the environment is lovely and communication from the practice has been very clear and straightforward.My dentist has been amazing. Very clear about my treatment plan, friendly and reassuring.I’m now moving the rest of the family over to the practice!

I first used the practice to discuss an all on four procedure. The initial consultation was excellent and I proceeded with the work which involved extensive bone grafting and eventually an all on six full top set. Over the course of 12 months the whole procedure took place in carefully arranged stages. After 18 months the new teeth are fantastic and I am delighted with the work done. This is a brilliant practice and I have no hesitation in recommending

David

17:42 15 Nov 23

New practice building is looks modern and smart. The procedure I was going to have was explained before we started so there was no surprises! Everything went well with absolutely no discomfort at all. Overall, no complaints, good job 👍

I’ve just started my Invisalign journey and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive!All the clear advice and support from Caroline whilst deciding the best course to get the results I wanted was really helpful!Mo has been really great too, super friendly and makes you feel so relaxed explaining every step along the way.I can’t wait to see the results now!

16:41 09 Nov 23

I had my first visit today for an initial consultation. I liked the style and decor of the practice, the staff were friendly and welcoming. I felt comfortable in my consultation and was given all the information I needed for the treatment I was interested in. Everything was explained in detail. The consultant offered her contact number should I have any queries and wanted to message her at a later date, I thought this was kind. I also managed to book my first appointment in a couple of weeks which means I do not have to wait for a long time, this is appreciated. I haven’t had my treatment yet but so far so good.

Stevie P Doyle

12:50 09 Nov 23

It's was a first initial appointment but I came away with a feeling that they really cared about it what I wanted and explained in detail what services where on offer, what they could do and how much it would cost.The option to spread the cost over a term that suited me and my budget was also very encouraging.They are lovely and friendly as well, big bonus.

Jess Lomas

16:39 07 Nov 23

The building and decor is lovely. Every calming and welcoming. The staff all give excellent customer service and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Generally a lovely practice and the best I have been to. Highly recommend.

Great dentist. I have been going there for years having researched them prior to getting an implant. Friendly professional team. Best around, very fair prices, & I strongly recommend

Laura Day

16:32 19 Oct 23

My first experience of the practise was fantastic - I had a thorough consultation X-rays and a scan of my teeth . Susan my dentist was lovely - very down to earth and totally put me at ease about some recent concerns I had with my teeth. I have always looked after my teeth and have had cosmetic dentistry before at previous dentists . I chose to join CH dentistry because I had read good reports about their work and care of their patients - something that sadly my NHS dentist of 11 years had started to fall back on! The whole dental experience was fantastic and I am having some dental repair work as well as hygiene appointments in the coming weeks ahead of joining the dental plan .Caroline went through the plans with me and helped me decide on the right one for my needs and booked my appointments in . You certainly are living up to your motto - ‘your smile is our reputation ‘- my smile has been wider this week knowing my dental needs are going to be totally cared for !

I’ve been to this dentist practice since I was 4 years old and never once had a bad experience. The new practice is immaculate whilst keeping some of the old features which is always a pleasure to visit. The staff are welcoming and are more than eager to accommodate. The value for money is excellent and all the dentists and hygienists are incredibly thorough. Very happy with Cheadle Hulme Dental and Cosmetics.

What a great place and relaxed atmosphere . All the staff from the front of house reception to the dentists were very welcoming and professional.

I had orthodontic work done over 10 years ago at their old premises and recently developed an issue with my fixed retainer. My original dentist doesn't work there any more but I was assigned a new dentist who is so lovely. She's got me sorted and it's cost less than I thought.The practice is beautifully presented and the staff are friendly and helpful

Evie Merrygold

18:44 26 Sep 23

I’m a newcomer to Cheadle Dental & Cosmetics when recommended to me. My first thought when entering was how different it was to my previous dental practice. The staff were extremely welcoming offering tea, coffee, and chilled water. The dentist, dental assistant, and hygienist were lovely, talking me through their process. I was first taken for a scan of my teeth which I was shocked that they did that as I’d never experienced that before. They explained they can use it to model braces and the dentists can view your teeth. The service I received was incomparable to previous dental practices. The caring staff, cleanliness of the place, and great work was superb, I won’t be changing to another practice. I would recommend anyone to switch to this team, the checkup itself was so much longer and in-depth than any I’ve had before.

10:42 16 Sep 23

My wife's been at this dental practice 2/3 year's and as been telling me to move to it none stop. I didn't like to leave because my dentist was fine for years, then he retired and the replacement wasn't good enough so I took my wife's advice and have moved to Cheadle Hulme Dentist. Wow what a great difference, they are brilliant, found a problem I didn't know I had and are sorting it all out Quickly and they're great 😃 tell you what is happening all the time, making you feel as if you are the most important client and really look after you. Should of moved years ago. Just First Class. John.

14:43 12 Sep 23

This is by far the best dentist I have been to. I am a nervous patient and really appreciate that my dentist understands this and makes sure that I'm OK at every stage. I've been able to get appointments quickly and I've had prompt, painless, careful treatment when it was needed.

15:21 02 Sep 23

I have only positive comments to make about this dental practice. I had severe tooth ache and was able to get an appointment within less than 24 hours. I am an anxious dental patient but was immediately put at my ease. Unfortunately I needed a tooth extraction and was able to have this done without sedation, thanks to the kindness and patience of the team. I was so impressed that I have now changed my dental care to this practice and would highly recommend them, especially if you are nervous 💗

Looked for a new destiny after my previous clinic closed and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice. Booking and getting an appointment is super easy and have great availability so you aren’t waiting months. The dentists and dental technicians are phenomenal, put you at ease and answer any questions. You can clearly feel that the staff enjoy working there as the environment is so welcoming and warm. 100% would recommend and looking forward for my next appointment.

11:08 26 Jul 23

The best dentist without a doubt. Every visit I feel calm and looked after and all my needs are always met. The staff are all friendly and make you feel very welcome. Have recommended to so many people and will continue to do so.

Shannon Gorman

13:31 25 Jul 23

I’m a new patient but I can’t thank them enough. On my first appointment I had a full check up, x-rays and Invisalign scans with Mo (who was fab) and three quotes/estimates to fix what another a dentist messed up. The second appointment was a hygienist visit (she was so lovely) which was the most comfortable and nicest experience I’ve ever had with a cleaning appointment. I’ve now signed up for the dental plan and will be a long term customer.

Excellent Dental Practice! Suzie made my braces journey a breeze with her warm and attentive care. From the first consultation, she explained everything thoroughly and put me at ease. Suzie's expertise and attention to detail ensured smooth progress, and her kind nature made each visit enjoyable. The entire team was friendly and efficient, creating a positive environment. Thanks to Suzie, my braces treatment was a success, and I now have a beautifully aligned smile. I highly recommend this dental practice for their exceptional care and lovely staff. Thank you, Suzie, and the team, for an outstanding experience!

Upon my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised, felt very comfortable, didn't feel clinical, was greeted very politely by the receptionist. Consultation went really well everything was explained clearly and the questions asked were answered well. I didn't feel pressured into making a decision, that what I was happy about. There was no rush. Absolutely would recommend this practice to others.

anne tole

12:33 17 Jul 23

Would 100% recommend! All the staff are always pleasant and welcoming. Just starting on my treatment plan journey which will hopefully include implants. Shi has explained everything clearly so far, with always the option to ask questions, which is really important and he has been first class!

Jim Harrison

11:54 12 Jul 23

The first contact was with a receptionist named Mel, very polite, clear and easy to understand.At my smile consultation, The practice, albeit on a main road, was very easy to find and parking was not an issue.The reception was welcoming /calming and I was quickly dealt with by the staff and asked if I would like a drink while waiting. my smile consultant, Caroline, called me to her consulting room which is very pleasingly decorated and furnished, as was all of the other areas I could see. Her knowledge and listening skills were very good and she spoke in a quiet but clear voice. All the information I needed was passed onto me to peruse at home. I feel confident that if I was to make a second appointment to have the examination by the dentist, that things would go well. I would recommend this practice as a good place to start for any teething problems that people may have. Jim Harrison

I came here from a recommendation from someone else.Usually going to the dentist it looks, smells and sounds like a dentist, this one is nothing like that, without sitting in the dental chair you would never know.Everyone I spoke to was really friendly and made me feel comfortable.I'd recommend Cheadle Hulme Dental to anyone, especially for people like me who hate the dentist, there is always an option to make you feel more comfortable.Coming here has restored my faith in having my teeth worked on and I'm looking forward to going back.

I cannot overstate how happy I am with the service at Cheadle Hulme dental. I have suffered with a phobia of dentists for my whole life and Cheadle Hulme dental practice has changed this for me! They have made me feel comfortable and relaxed at every appointment and I have managed to have some long overdue and much needed surgery and treatment. I can honestly that if you suffer like I did -the service is life changing.

This practice is superb. I am an anxious patient and they have treated me with total respect and compassion - would totally recommend for anyone that has avoided the dentist for years like me, after a dreadful experience. This is the total opposite and I feel in utterly competent, safe, caring and understanding hands!

Zena Rogers

09:25 01 May 23

After years of experiencing dental issues with infections under old bridgework, I am presently having three implants and bone grafts with this practice. I researched a lot before deciding to come to Cheadle Hulme Dental as this is a very intricate surgery.Dr. Shi Karim is a highly skilled and talented surgeon and has been very kind and attentive to my needs. He took the time to explain the treatment process in detail, and both he and his staff make sure that I am comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. His clear planning and attention to detail are impressive, and I always feel reassured that I am in good hands. The timeline plan and estimates are very clear and helpful.Further, he and his team ensure that my treatment was carried out efficiently and effectively. The aftercare is also spot on and reassuring. The team’s caring approach makes all the difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dental surgeon.

I’ve recently decided to have invisalign treatment and went Cheadle Hulme Dental and Cosmetic after seeing their social media posts about their great reputation with invisalign (and other dental treatments)I’m normally quite nervous about going to the dentist, but I couldn’t have been more relaxed here . From entering the reception area which looks more like hotel lobby, instead of feeling anxious I felt at ease. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The clinic is beautifully presented and is so clean and high tech.I had a first appointment with Kezia who was really informative and friendly. She answered all my questions and I decided the same day to go ahead.My second appointment was with the dentist Mr Raval and the dental nurse Zara. Both were welcoming and professional and I felt in safe hands. I am so glad I made the leap to come to CH for my invisalign and will be thinking about coming here now for all my dental needs as the experience just does not compare to my usual nhs dentist!Thank you

Nicole Lee

20:53 15 Feb 23

The practice was well furnished, clean and tidy, and the team were very nice and welcoming.

The receptionists are very welcoming & efficient. The clinic is top notch & very clean. Susie, my dentist, is brilliant & so, so lovely. I warmed to her immediately & was instantly confident in her expertise. She's always checking I'm ok with everything during procedures, explains everything well & makes you feel 'looked after' & that she cares. Highly recommend.
