I 100% recommend this amazing dental practice. I'd been in absolute agony and as a new patient on Friday, the receptionist couldn't have been more helpful, calling to check how I was before the appointment and fitting me in. I saw dental surgeon Lisa Costigan who was fantastic at calming me down (I'm a nervous patient) and treated me to help reduce the pain before my next appointment. I had 2 extractions today by Dental Surgeon Frans Banki who kept me calm throughout the procedure and did such an amazing job. The dental assistant was lovely too both times and the receptionists. They really care about you and what they do and I'm really glad I found them.

I have been attending Rottingdean Dental Care for over 16 years and cannot rate this practice highly enough. The reception staff are brilliant, professional, helpful and always very friendly. Dr Keeling and the entire team are exceptional in every aspect, from checkups, hygiene and treatment and make what could be a daunting experience as relaxing as is possible.

After a bad experience with my previous dentist and needing treatment, I thought id try Rottingdean Dental Care as is on a bus route and easy to get to. I have been going now for a while and see Graham Keeling. He is so gentle in his manner and explains everything in detail. Does not force unnecessary treatment on you. All COVID hygiene rules are adhered to the moment you walk in the door. I would recommend Rottingdean Dental Care as they make you feel special from the start.

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

The practice is well organised with a very good reception, who are always efficient. My dentist Lisa Costigan is really excellent and I have great trust in her judgement and ability. Even though I have got the time wrong and arrived late she still saw me and dealt efficiently with my concerns. I recommend this practice to any of my friends looking for a dentist in our area as I think the service I have had would be unlikely to be matched anywhere else.

I’m new to the practice but happy with my choice of dentist. The surgery is bright and modern and situated in a convenient location. Graham and the team are friendly, welcoming and professional. My treatment was painless and Graham kept me informed and reassured throughout the process

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

A definite 5 out of 5

My telephone call requesting an appointment was dealt with efficiently, effectively and politely by Sam. The treatment I received by Graham was undertaken very pleasantly; my problem was completely understood, investigated and resolved. The measures in place due to the COVID pandemic are excellent and allayed my concerns

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

My dealings with the reception area was first class- From initial booking- to ease of telephone payments.

From arrival to treatment and appointment booking

I found the staff to be very COVID mindful and measures were in place- I found the reception staff and process to be of the highest standard and quality.

Ease of arrival through to actual treatment

The staff were well informed, well-mannered and helpful

The whole process end to end was perfect

I have nothing other than praise

Just into lockdown I lost a crown which left me with a painful exposed tooth and a sense of abandonment. However, Lisa contacted me promptly and soon gained my confidence with her thorough assessment, sound advice and reassuring support. She then called me almost daily until the pain subsided, insisting that she would otherwise worry about me and I felt touched by her genuine concern. Subsequently, Lisa provided me with regular updates on when dentistry might re-open which helped me to remain hopeful that this was in sight. I also noted the meticulous preparations she was making for the restart and so, despite being in the "at risk" category and aware of the ongoing debate regarding the safety of dentistry, I felt no hesitation in returning to the practice where my own dentist, Graham, assisted by Lisa, was able to successfully re-cement my crown. This was patient care at its very best.

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

Hi Graham, Lisa and the team.

During my much-appreciated appointment today, I learnt more about what you have been doing over the last few months to help and support patients during " lock down". Plus also all the planning, hard work and dedication that has resulted in your patients being able to get back to some form of normality re dental needs and visit you for various types of treatment.

Once again many thanks to you and your team, it is much appreciated

I went to see Dr Frans Banki in April to try some anti-wrinkle injections and have been so pleased with the results as well as the treatment.

The injections were not painful at all and the results are fantastic.

Dr Banki was lovely and explained every aspect of the treatment which put me at great ease.

I also felt reassured as Dr Banki is a medical doctor and with treatments like these I feel personally this is important.

Two months on and still loving the results, 48 and wrinkle free!!

Definitely recommend Dr Banki to anyone wanting to try this treatment. 5 stars !

Service is consistently excellent and very clear.

All aspects of treatments explained before, after and during treatment.

Staff are always very friendly and put you at ease.

I was very nervous going for my first appointment having not been to a dentist for several years.

I had built up a fear in my head which is now completely gone, so much so that I have not only had my teeth "brought up to speed" but have had teeth whitening and an implant, at my instigation, illustrating my new found ease.

I whole heartedly recommend this practice.

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

I have been a patient of the practice for the past 35 years and have been utterly and totally looked after in every sense as a child, an adult, in pregnancy and now for my children.

I have complete faith in my dentist Graham keeling for my family's whole dental health. Not only for solving problems but for preventing problems occurring and taking care of everything.

As a dentist Graham is such a wonderful, gentle dentist who puts me at ease no matter how nervous I feel.

The way he does his treatment is a dream and makes it as easy and relaxing as possible.

The whole team are so helpful with arranging or re-arranging appointments and nothing is too much bother. I feel very lucky to be on their books.

I have been a patient for more than 10 years and have always been totally satisfied with the service I have received.

My school time experiences of dentists was horrific but this practice has eased me through both complex and routine work with a professional yet friendly manner.

I am ultra-sensitive to pain but Graham who has been my dentist throughout is well aware of this problem and goes to great lengths to ensure that I do not suffer.

The practice has a policy of explaining and pricing all treatment before it is commenced with a clear illustration of its total integrity.

I have delicate teeth and Graham has looked after them very well over the years and all treatments have been successful and carried out gently with consideration and reassuring information.

I would not hesitate to recommend this practice.

I can't recommend this practice enough, visiting as a new patient and requiring treatment for a broken crown and veneer fit.

Dr Graham Keeling is a very caring, honest and professional dentist, excelling in reassuring me as a patient and giving me advice and explanations of work being carried out every step of the way.

His dental nurse was very professional and caring and I found the reception staff to be most welcoming and approachable.

She comes highly recommended.

I have been a patient at Rottingdean Dental Care for almost two decades. The practice building is pleasantly quirky and the staff give it a friendly, calm and professional atmosphere.

Treatments are always done with consideration and care. Following a couple of treatments that cost largish amounts(crowns), I took up the Denplan option a couple of years ago.

The regular instalments now pay for my dental care.I highly recommend Dr Keeling and Dr Costigan's Rottingdean Dental Care practice.

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

I have been a patient at this dental practice for many years and have always found the reception staff friendly and helpful at all times.

I have been a patient of Graham's for the past five years. He is a wonderful, caring dentist with great skill and has always made me feel confident about having any dental-treatments.I have nothing but praise for the staff.

The receptionists, practice manager and nurses I have seen have always been caring and efficient. I was recommended to the practice by a work colleague and have never regretted my decision.

Choosing the right dentist is really important and in my opinion you can't go wrong by choosing this practice.

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

I started to see Donna-Marie in 2011 and about a year later I began treatment to have some dental implants.

This is a big investment and in 2014 I decided to see Donna–Marie every three months both to protect my implants and keep my own teeth in a stable condition.

I regard Donna-Marie's care as essential to maintaining a high standard of dental hygiene.

On a personal level, there is always a warm welcome and she has an easy manner that set patients at ease. She is happy to chat away without expecting a response and I never leave without having shared some amusing incident.

She is part of an impressive team at Rottingdean Dental Care where everybody is dedicated to the best patient care.

I have been a locum dental nurse for years now. I have worked in over 30 practices. I adore Rottingdean dental practice there is no comparison anywhere on the south coast. They are simply the best practice in every way. They have the most professional and caring team, they work together like nothing I've ever seen. Graham, Lisa and Eadin are absolutely the most talented and excellent dentists I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Sadly I now live in the Midlands but I will say this practice made me a better nurse, more caring, more efficient and above all more mature. I am always very proud to say I have been part of this team.

Rottingdean Dental Care £ Rottingdean 01273 303319 Rottingdean Dental Care

I have been a patient of Lisa Costigan for many years. During all that time she and the staff have always been very helpful, kind and caring as well as being very efficient.

What a welcome! Two smiling receptionists who put me at my ease straight away.

I’ve never had such a good dental experience!

The dentist Dr Keeling was superb and put me totally at ease with his kind manner. His dental nurse was equally professional and comforting.

An exemplary experience Rottingdean Dental Care!

I highly recommend it.

Always kind and very professional. I would recommend this surgery.

review

When I moved to Brighton 8 years ago I had been with the same dentist since about 1976 and I was not looking forward to a change. Rottingdean Dental Care was the second practice I considered

The smart Fisherman's Cottage has an almost “Alice in Wonderland, come in and try me look" about it. But the it was the’ Investors In People’ sign that confirmed that I should try the practice, since I know from personal experience how much effort is needed to get this accreditation.

There was a warm welcome from the reception staff. This first impression is important and the decision to use the practice has been confirmed by the excellent treatment. It is the team effort by everybody in the practice that stands out, from the reception staff, hygienist, dental nurses and the dentists. There is a lot of hard work and training that comes together to create a team dedicated to exceptional patient care: The practice is very efficient and professional at all levels but it is also a pleasant place to visit and this is entirely due to all the staff being committed to putting the patients at the centre of everything they do.

But it is more than just high professional standards, it is also obviously a happy working atmosphere for all the staff and this makes it a very relaxing place for patients. I'm not nervous about dental treatment but I am still very aware of the efforts to make patients as comfortable as possible during the dental-treatments. I was treated with dignity and respect at all times.

I took a step into the unknown some months ago with the decision to have dental implants in association with The Implant Centre in Hove. Both practices have worked together at a level that seems almost impossible. I don't like to think about the treatment that has been done but it has been entirely painless and trouble free. I will be eternally grateful for the advice you gave me about this treatment and the outcome.

I would recommend this practice to a friend.

Many have a fear of dentists and shudder, but at Rottingdean Dental Care all staff are welcoming and caring. Graham Keeling has been my dentist for many years. He is so considerate and gentle, and explains everything. He makes visits may I say enjoyable.

Thank you all.
