In one word: Amazing! From the very first message the team has been so attentive and caring. Every step of my journey so far I have felt supported by the teams kind follow up messages and Zak’s friendly zoom calls. Today was my first ever major dentist procedure and Zak and Tash made me feel at ease the entire time. I was very surprised my filling and wisdom tooth removal was quick and completely painless. Zak particularly has made me feel in safe hands from our first encounter and you can tell he really cares about what he does. I am very excited to be on this journey with smile stories and would 100% recommend to anyone !

I came to Smile Stories after a couple of bad experiences with previous dentists. They were highly recommended by a friend. I hated my teeth and I knew I needed a lot of work. The guys at Smile Stories put me at ease straight away and Gareth and his team have completely transformed my teeth and given me back my smile and my confidence. I have been treated so well, weirdly I don't mind going to the dentist any more...

I thought I would just put a message up saying how good the Smile Stories team are. Whether it is a hygienist or dentist appointment I am always made to feel welcome which instantly relaxes me. Any procedures are always explained to me first in a very reassuring way and I have been given some very useful advice by the team that has proved invaluable in keeping my teeth in good shape. 👍 Lastly, the waiting room always puts a smile on my face. The revamp has a cool club vibe going on . Five stars from me.

Beyond thrilled with my Invisalign results and couldn’t recommend the team at Smile Stories more. The whole experience, from initial consultation to final check up, was easy, professional and enjoyable. The team really do go above and beyond to make you feel at ease and make sure you’re 100% happy with the results!

I have been going to this dentist for years - including prior to it becoming Smile Stories. Jayne the hygienist is so lovely and always puts me at ease as teeth cleaning makes me very nervous.I then decided to have my teeth straightened and Zak did this for me. I’m so happy with the end result. Makes me feel so much more confident to have nice, white straight teeth. Thank you Zak.The dentist surgery has now changed to Smile Stories and the staff are so friendly and helpful. You are met by friendly happy reception staff as soon as you arrive.Thanks all for making coming to the dentist not such a nerve racking experience.

We Love Dentistry

Your mouth is an engineering masterpiece, but we bet you’ve never thought about it in that way.

When biology designed your teeth, it created cutting teeth at the front to slice through your food and chunky, wide teeth at the back to bear the brunt of chewing and protect the smaller front teeth. 

But if a tooth breaks or you have other dental issues, this can lead to further problems, resulting in regular filling replacements or — in the case of a lost tooth — the need for a tooth implant.

That’s why we think comprehensively and consider the big picture for long-lasting, optimal results.

Dentist Bournemouth

The Smile Stories team provide complete oral health checks.

Our dental checks include:

  • Cavity and decay detection — to stop unforeseen pain
  • Gum disease diagnosis — gums should never bleed
  • Oral cancer screenings — you can’t ever be too careful
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) health check — that’s the joint that opens and closes your mouth, BTW
  • Tooth wear analysis — worn edges on your teeth can be reversed

Everything we do is under magnification. Our dentists and hygienists can see your teeth up to seven times larger than a dentist without magnifying loupes.

And if a dentist can’t see a problem, do you think they can find the cause or even treat it?

“In and out in five minutes” as if you were on a conveyor belt is not our style. We look unhurriedly at the details and keep you included every step of the way.

We promise we’ll look after you like we’d want to be taken care of ourselves.

Award-Winning Dentists Trained by World Leaders

Your trusted dentist in Bournemouth

We are proud of the relationships we’ve built with our clients in Bournemouth and our commitment to making them smile is why we have such fantastic reviews. To find out why they think we are the most passionate and exciting dentist Bournemouth has to offer, call our team today to book an appointment.

What We Don’t Do (sorry)

 

Because we think comprehensively, we think proactively, not reactively.

If your roofer said you had a tile missing, would you wait for the winter to “wait and see” or repair it before the rain arrives?

That’s how our clients feel about the health of their mouth, too. They tell us prevention is better than cure. It’s also less painful, less complex and less costly!

So, we’re sorry, we don’t do emergency quick fixes or patch-up dentistry. It’s just not in your best interests and we know we’re doing you a disservice. Our dentists take immense pride in their work and dedicate hours to helping each and every client feel confident when they smile.

We’re here to help you achieve a disease-free, happy and healthy mouth with dental treatment that lasts.

0% Interest-Free Payment Plans

We offer manageable plans for our general dentistry and cosmetic services

Fees and Lifetime Results

We said we don’t like surprises when it comes to your health. And we feel the same way about fees.

That is why we guarantee you’ll always fully understand your dental issues, what is required and the costs involved before we proceed with any general or cosmetic dental treatment. We’ll also offer payment plans to make things more affordable.

We guarantee no surprises — ever!

Coffee and a chat?

Want to finally get your oral health in check? Fed up with niggling pains and teeth breaking every five minutes? Feel like you’ve been fobbed off?

At Smile Stories, we only do comprehensive, long-term dentistry that enables you to laugh, smile and eat without a care in the world.

Get in touch and book a complimentary consultation with one of our Client Care Coordinators.

They’re ever so good at making a brew.

We’re a Digital-First Dental Clinic

What on earth does that mean?

It means it’s no longer 1995 and technology in dentistry has moved on — it might just be you haven’t experienced it (yet!).

Our dental practice in Bournemouth isn’t stuck in the past, and we absolutely don’t do mercury fillings and crowns which look like lumps of chewing gum.

We are fully equipped with cutting-edge dental technology for both our cosmetic and general dentistry services.

digital dental clinic winton
digital dental scanning

 

The team at Smile Stories use 3D scanners, not gunky, messy mouthfuls of plasticine that make you gag and wretch during impression moulds.

And we plan digitally too.

When we place a crown or filling, we take high-powered digital single-lens reflex (SLR) photos of everything — literally everything. The exact colour of your teeth is then communicated with our selected team of master ceramists to ensure any work we do is seamless.

And we’ll show you all of the work we have done. After all, it’s your mouth and you should be able to see how it looks.

Your Journey to Complete Dental Health at Smile Stories

We’re no party poopers, but we don’t like surprises when it comes to your dental health. In fact, one of the main things our clients say is how much they appreciate the extra time and effort we put into discovering your smile goals and analysing every aspect of your dental health.

And we won’t ever rush. Our dentists set aside extra time behind the scenes to collate and analyse all the information to provide you with a plan that works.

That means no more unexpected pain in the middle of the night by papering over the cracks for another six months, no more loose or wobbly teeth — and absolutely no more lost teeth.

Once we have the information, our team of dentists will collectively write your Smile Story.

We’ll look at your goals, then your x-rays, photos, scans and the ton of technical information and create a bespoke plan that works perfectly for you.

You’ll have a guided tour of your mouth to understand exactly where you’re at before we give you our recommendations to guarantee a happy, healthy mouth and smile confidence for decades to come.
