Highly recommend…
An amazing experience for a nervous patient. My two children were made feel so comfortable and are now happy and positive about seeing the dentist in the future. Thank you especially to Lakshmi our lovely dentist who treated my 7 year old and somehow kept her smiling throughout!
Best dentist ever seen in my life
Best dentist ever seen in my life. Steyning dental clinic.
My records have been falsified and they've ruined
My records have been falsified and they've added treatments I never had. Their clinical team seem incapable of talking to their equally inept reception team about what actually goes on in the room. They have an incompetent member of staff called Johnson who nearly burned my eye out with a blow torch and bruised the inside of my mouth with the suction machine. They have always been late to any appointment i've booked, and they have cancelled my booking on less than a week's notice at all three appointments, sometimes cancelling two appointments one after the other. They've been ignoring my complaint about the treatment i faced, and withheld the last name of the nurse I wanted to complain about, and their initial response to my complaint was, in effect - hard luck, you still need to pay as the dentist is self employed, so we're washing our hands. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
Avoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs. Scheduled to have an old filling redone, bearing in mind the filling was well over 40 years old. Primarily due to the sensitivity of the tooth this had to be done under sedation. First anaesthetist was arrogant with no bedside manner and after the filling had been done and I was aware it was rough and I still had sensitivity. Take 2, better anaesthetist, clinician not so. I now have a huge gap between my back teeth, food is still getting caught in it and still tender. Now 3 days later my jaw, which was tender to touch is bruised. I have luckily managed to register with another dentist. This was the Steyning branch.

Had a Sunday hygiene appointment at South Cliff Dental Practice (Trinity Place). The appointment was made by a lovely, professional and well mannered gentleman.
The dental hygienist, Ms Pooja, was absolutely outstanding! Skilled, thorough, and genuinely caring, she gave me the most comfortable and effective dental cleaning I’ve ever had. Left feeling fresh, confident, and impressed—truly VIP treatment for my smile. Highly recommend! Thank you for your 7* services!
Hygienist
Booked hygienist and paid immediately. My teeth looked no better on leaving than when I arrived. £75 for approx 15 minutes work. When I enquired about specific stain was told it couldn't be done due to filling even though dentist recommended it. An awful lot of money for nothing
Very flexible and super helpful
I was given an appointment on a Sunday 2 weekends in a row as I had broken my tooth eating a bowl of Lidl granola cereal. Staff friendly and accommodating to ensure I had the treatment I needed done. Thank you
Excellent
Excellent, quick service & care. My child feels safe and happy to go to dentist. Very friendly reception team ♥️
Dreadful service
My wife was seen for a raging toothache. Told by the "Dentist" that it was a complicated procedure and referred her to their Horsham branch to see a "Senior Dentist". Went to Horsham where the "Senior Dentist" she was referred to said that it was complicated, that he couldn't do anything, prescribed antibiotics, and would refer her to a specialist. Charged for both consultations. Still waiting for the referral. It seems that they employ Dental Practioners rather than Dentists as they did not have anyone suitably qualified to treat the tooth problem at either branch as extraction was required.
Update, the website states that they acknowledge a complaint by email in 3 days, they don't. Complaint sent Monday, it's Friday and no response at all.

Urgent appointment needed
I phoned to request my appointment was brought forwards. I spoke with the practice manager who was extremely adaptable to my needs and very professional. I managed to get an appointment the next day. Thank you.
Super efficient from booking through to treatment
Super efficient from booking an appointment that suited me, through to the check up and hygienist which both ran on time and were friendly and professional.
I had a pleasant time at the dentist today. Who can say that!

I attended southcliff dental group st Leonard’s today, I had such a great experience! The staff was warm and welcoming, my nurse caris and dentist gayatri took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt completely at ease throughout my appointment, and the care I received was outstanding. The reception team was very friendly and made me feel very welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends and family.

I have recently had a dental check up & hygienist appointment in Steyning which was easy to book and my clinician Lakshmi is very helpful and professional. I also have paid to have teeth whitening and found this process very easy with the dental team guiding me through the whole process and showing me the steps. Would recommend. My family also use this dentist.
