Mrs Val Ghose

I’ve just had an implant to replace a gaping gap in my front teeth. From beginning to end of the process, I had nothing but the best care, totally pain free too. Every step of the way explained, and the cost laid out in an understandable plan. A very professional and kind approach, with amazing attention to detail. Thank you Mike and all involved for such an excellent result.

Mr Michael Morgan

I continue to be more than happy with the high level of care and professionalism provided by Dr Higginson and his team  – really pleased to count myself amongst your patients!

Ms Hannah Saunders

I had a full set of implants done and I am very happy with the end result. Having a dental disease is not fun but I can finally stop worrying about my teeth.
They look great!

Fantastic professional service and personal care received from Matthew and the excellent dental nurses. The whole team provided complete friendliness and trust in their very high standard of dental care and individual patient’s requirements. 100% recommendation.

Mr G Shire

I came to be an implant patient with Mathew about a year ago after less than satisfactory dental treatment elsewhere. I can’t speak too highly of Mathew and all the work he has done for me since. I am now registered with “The Gardens” and can honestly say that Mathew and all the other team members I have encountered have been nothing but professional and helpful at all times.

 
 
I’ve always found Dr. Higginson to be a pleasant, considerate and very capable practitioner who explains things carefully and instills confidence in his patients. I’ve had extractions, fillings of all sorts, dentures and several implants. I’m now aged 82 and remain totally happy with all the services I’ve received at the practice.

Ms H S

To Matthew and Team,

 

You’re The Best!

Thank you for giving me the confidence to truly smile!

Many Regards x

I have recently had a tooth implant at The Gardens Dental Practice. The care and attention to detail I received was outstanding. The receptionists are polite and helpful, creating a positive atmosphere in the practice.

Mr R Tapply

Following the removal of a tooth I opted to have an implant procedure. I was a bit anxious initially but Matthew explained the procedure and put me at ease. The whole procedure, over a few months, went very well and thanks to Matthew and his team I now have an implant crown which has achieved an excellent natural look

Mr R McGhee

I would like to thank Matt, his associates, nurses, receptionists, staff and team for a most professional yet personal attention to my recent treatment.

Mrs J Simmons

I would highly recommend The Gardens Dental Practice to anyone looking for a first class service. I had a full top set of teeth put on four implants. For someone who was very nervous of any dentist Matthew and his team made the whole procedure as comfortable and pain free as possible. Although the implant procedure isn’t immediate the end result is amazing
I got my confidence back, can enjoy my food again , a smile on my face and also I am not afraid to go to the dentist anymore.! Matthew is very approachable, gentle and a perfectionist at his job with a great team behind him who are always polite and cheerful.
I would advise anyone who may be considering implants or any other treatment to talk to Matthew, you will not be disappointed.

Steve

After receiving many quotes for full dental implants top and bottom, The Gardens Dental Practice in Dorchester provided the best quotation.
I commenced treatment in April 2024 and it was completed in Feb 2025.
Every stage was pain free, except for the occasional injections to numb the gums, but overall, the treatment was first class, and Matthew (Dental Surgeon) explained fully each procedure up to getting the new teeth, which after adjustments fit perfectly well with no movement and it is lovely to be able to smile and talk to people without getting embarrassed and best of all able to eat properly again.

Lovely friendly staff……..as always.
Pain free experience and excellent work done by Mathew……….Thank you

Mr D McHardy

I have been a patient with The Gardens Dental Practice for about three years.
The condition of my teeth has improved significantly in that time.
The most recent enhancement was a very successful implant.
All the staff are friendly, efficient and professional and I would thoroughly recommend this practice to anyone who is looking to change dentists.

Mr D Moon

This is an excellent dental practice. I have had two implants and the results are amazing and the whole experience trauma free. Routine dentistry is also an efficient and friendly experience. And the location by the Borough Gardens is very attractive. 

J Millar

Matthew is fantastic. I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist & treat a lot of ‘fear of dentists’ and recommend Matthew to all of my clients as I’ve 100% never felt any discomfort or pain from any treatment he’s carried out. I can’t recommend him enough.

Mr C Brewer

Having never been confident with my ‘denture adhesives,’ I looked into having implants, to secure my full set of upper teeth. After a concise consultation with Matthew, and his team, I was happy to go ahead with four ‘securing’ implants.
The procedure was quick and easy and there wasn’t much pain afterwards. Making the teeth was accurately done, without impressions, on the computer. I was also able to design my own ‘smile.’
With my secure denture, I am now able to confidently choose what I would like to eat, without the fear of ’embarrassment.’ After two months now I am more than happy to recommend the implants. A big thank you to Matthew and nurse Jennifer and the wonderful reception team for their help in fitting in my appointments.

Mrs J Toms

Last year I had two implants, I never thought I would have this procedure as I have always been very anxious with previous dentists, after a few visits with Matthew and Jennifer I found myself feeling much more at ease and so I decided to go ahead with the implants, I am so happy I made this decision, it’s like having your own teeth back. I would highly recommend having implants and I highly recommend this dental practice.

Mr P Lowry

I cannot commend this dental practice highly enough in respect of my implant journey. From the initial consultation, through to the detailed plan of work and final fitment of my new teeth in late December 2022; at all times, the level of personal care and attention, and clear articulation of the processes being performed, has been of the highest calibre that i have ever encountered with a dental practice. I would have absolutely no hesitancy in recommending the Gardens Dental Dental Practice for individuals who may be considering a dental implant process.

Mr D Pandey

I have had implants with Matthew, and all I can say is his professionalism, and his team went over and above the call of duty to reassure me that the experience would be painless. And all I can say is all my apprehensions were answered and the after-care they gave was 2nd to none. Thank you very much team, something that was very daunting for me, was made into a pleasurable experience, and I’m looking forward to my next implant!

Mr R Taylor

I have been extremely pleased with the treatment I have received from The Gardens Dental Practice. From start to finish I felt very pleased with the professionalism and advice I received which answered all my doubts about my suitability for an implant. The result is even better than I hoped for, I feel as though the new tooth has been there for years and looks natural and is a perfect fit
From beginning to end, all the staff at The Gardens Dental Practice were consummate professionals, talking me through the procedure and checking up on me at each step of the way,

Many Thanks to the whole team, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending The Gardens Dental Practice to anyone considering a dental implant

I recently attended The Gardens Dental Practice after my crown on a front tooth fractured. After an informative consultation with Matthew I decided to have an implant. I was so pleased to be fitted in so quickly and had my implant and temporary crown placed by Philip McCauley. The procedure was painless and I cannot thank the whole team at the Gardens for their kindness and professionalism. I look forward to returning for the rest of my treatment

If you are thinking about implants then you will not be disappointed and the results are amazing. You can have total confidence in Matthew’s skill and the laboratory work is first class. I am even planning my next lot. Thank you so much.
