Attended Seaham smiles today with my dentist Stacey, after loosing a filling, she fully explained all the options and I opted for a new filling. The proceedure was fully explained and I must say I felt so safe and reassured in her safe hands, never once did I feel any pain and reassurance was given at all times. Thank you and your assistance for a very professional approach. Margaret Stewart.
I am absolutely over moon with my implants, the whole experience from the initial consultation to the end product was fantastic .The dynamic duo Nigel and Ellie were friendly, attentive and professional throughout. Nigel was informative , passionate and knowledgeable about his work and my procedure ahead . Nigel supported by amazing Ellie with her friendly nothing is a bother attitude kept me informed all the way through the process which put my mind at rest. Thank you 😁😁
I’m through the initial stages of implant surgery so I’ve met Nigel and his team several times now and feel able to leave a reliable review. My experience has been very positive, I’ve been extremely impressed by the both the friendliness and professionalism I’ve experienced and feel confident that I’ll achieve a successful conclusion to my treatment. Thank you. Brian Byrne.
Excellent service with a very good outcome to have my implants fitted. This was a step by step process explained at every step to achieve an excellent result. Very thorough and methodical.
Mam had to see her dentist, Jia, after chipping a tooth from a fall. In less than an hour's appointment, Mam had been fully checked out and had her tooth built back up to look like a normal tooth again. Brilliant service, my Mam was delighted.
Had treatment at Seaham Smiles under Stacey who has been brilliant.Stacey is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable; takes her time and really reassures you.Stacey has changed a filling from an old grey to a white, I am extremely happy with the whole process and outcome.Very happy to be under Stacey cares.
I have recently joined Seaham Smiles as it was impossible to get appointments with my previous dentist!I have just had 2 lots of root canal fillings with Megan, and must say what a brilliant dentist she is.My tooth feels better now than it has for year's.I was expecting some pain after the anaesthetic had worn off, but absolutely no pain at all, and didn't feel a thing.I have future appointments booked with Megan and can honestly say, Ihave no fear whatsoever.I'm so pleased to have joined Seaham Smiles and wish I had done it years ago.Many thanks to Megan.Joan Bowen
Really pleased with my implants from Seaham Smiles. Nigel has been great ever since mu first consultation to the end result. Nigel is very professional and so knowledgeable and with support from Ellie the whole procedure went exceptionally well.
If you can have a fantastic experience visiting your dental practise, this was as good as it gets. I needed a tooth implant following a crown fracture (not fitted at Seaham Smiles) and was referred to Nigel Suggett. From initial consultation through to final treatment the communication and care was outstanding. The treatment plan and pricing structure documented and clear and followed throughout. Thank you to Nigel and Ellie for delivering a great customer experience and excellent end product😊.
Had a wisdom tooth extraction done yesterday and I cannot praise Nathan and Ellie enough. Being an extremely nervous/anxious patient they were so reassuring, friendly and made sure i felt at ease. They didn’t rush things, they took time to make sure I was ok during the procedure and even called me today to check how I was doing. Both Nathan and Ellie are an absolute credit to the team. Thank you so much for putting up with this nervous nellie!
I have been to see Nigel for an extraction and implant . From my first appointment to my final appointment today all I can say is highly recommend seaham smiles . Everything was explained to me from start to finish staff amazingThank you for everything
Can’t rate this practice high enough. From first walking through the door all staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. I was referred to Nigel and his team by my regular dentist, for an extraction and an implant . During my first consultation everything was explained to me , step by step, so I knew exactly what to expect which stopped any worries or concerns. My appointments were always on time with no cancellations or rearranging. So happy with the result. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Nigel and Ellie
Been going here for over 10 years. Been to a few in the Durham area & none are as good as Seaham Smiles. Rob who is my Dentist is by far the best I’ve had. I used to hate going to the dentists (hate needles) but Rob’s fab and now it’s not an issue. Can’t recommend them enough. If I could give them 6 stars I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quick and easy assessment with great results, so happy I went with Invisalign. Rob was really informative and friendly throughout, would definitely recommend if you want a smarter smile 🙂
Brilliant experience at Seaham Smiles with a fantastic dentist and staff. I had an implant put in and could not fault the experience from start to finish. Nigel, Elisha and the rest of the team were very professional and put any concerns I had completely at ease. Would highly recommend Seaham Smiles, especially for implant work. Very happy with the end result!
I have recently had 2 implants with a 3 teeth Bridge fitted by Nigel Suggett. I cannot recommend Nigel and his dental nurse Elisha highly enough. From start to finish Nigel explained each process and I was kept fully informed. The whole process took 13 weeks but it was so worth the wait. I am really pleased with my new teeth and feel much more confident as I am able to eat better, talk better without having the gap in my mouth and more importantly I'm able to smile with confidence 😀 so.... a massive thank you to Nigel and Elisha. Kindest regards, Denise Ogilvie
1st appointment in a long time i have severe anxiety about dentist and today i met stacey. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish and put me at ease. Cant thank her enough for how she made me feel. If all dentists could be like her they should
Such an amazing practice! My second visit today with Rebecca and Chloe and a previous appointment with Megan. Staff are all so friendly and really put me at ease. I’m such a nervous patient so it really means a lot that I was made to feel so welcome. Thanks ladies
Rob is fantastic 👏 and the kindest , most interested dentist that I've ever met. He clearly loves his job which shines through . I am really grateful to him and the full team at smiles 😃. Its always an easy experience when I visit. Thanks Rob and the team
What I liked about Nigel is how he makes it so easy to understand the process from beginning to end. He explains everything clearly and made me feel relaxed when I felt nervous about certain procedures.I will definately recommend to friends and family. Extremely satisfied with the service provided. 🙂
I don’t know where I would start 😭 from being horrified from many experience's from previous dentists, To finding this absolute GEM at Seaham Smiles.From walking in and meeting MEGAN she has just changed my life completely. Giving me my smile back, my dignity and my confidence, everyone who works their are helpful and even though they don’t know it from walking in to an immaculate clinic and seeing the smiles from the staff, helped with my nervous! I’ll be forever grateful 😊🥰 and I’m not scared anymore 😊🤭. I’m signing all my family to Seaham smiles 😊.
Recently I had to arrange an emergency appointment at short notice as I was going away on holiday a few days later and was concerned about the pain I was experiencing due to toothache!I saw Stacey and Michelle who were both fantastic. They showed empathy and a high level of care and concern. Stacey quickly identified that one of my teeth had cracked and asked me to return only an hour later after lunch for further treatment. When I returned she carried out a variety of procedures to fix and treat the problem. This took around 40 minutes. She went above and beyond expectations at such short notice to deal with the matter very efficiently, even though I was an NHS client. She fixed the problem so that I could go away pain free and enjoy my holiday!I will be returning for further treatment and I would l like to thank both Stacey and Michelle for their help. I have been a client since Nigel took over the business from Mr Robson and have always had great care! I can thoroughly recommend Seaham Smiles for all your dental needs and I am now considering moving on to the Dental Care Plan.
After suffering with sore and bleeding gums for a long time, a consultation with Rob and Rebecca suggested a deep clean coupled with a course of antibiotics to address the underlying issue. Pleased to say that this worked a treat and it’s lovely to have healthy gums again.
Although no one enjoys going to the dentist, Seaham Smiles makes it a much nicer experience. The staff are all friendly and professional.My dentist Dr Robert Hetherington is great, he takes the time to explain each procedure, showing the problem via x-rays or by a detailed explanation and he is meticulous in carrying it out the work. His assistant Jane is also extremely competent. Overall from my experience over the last 5 or so years I can highly recommend them.
I have been seeing Matt for my dental treatment, amazing dentist puts you at ease immediately having not been a fan of going to the dentist in the past was very anxious. Matt was great from walking in the door, the receptionists and the dental nurses are all lovely definitely recommend Seaham smiles to family and friends
I had a scale and polish today. I've always been frightened of going to the dentist after bad experiences in the past. Rebecca and Steph were very gentle, understanding and reassuring . I now don't feel as apprehensive for future visits. Highly recommended.
Megan took a 60+ man who hated dentists and totally put him at his ease. I cannot tell you how good she and seaham smiles are. I am actually looking forward to my next visit. Very professional and friendly. Five stars is not enough.
I have been suffering for months with pain. So after seeing seaham smiles on Facebook I contacted Brooke and left a message she quickly rang me back and I now have a appointment I am so grateful and thankful. Really recommend 5 star service
I was seen today by your hygienist Rebecca, she always does a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. She puts you at ease straight away and is very polite and pleasant. Gives advice on how best to keep your teeth and gums healthy. I can not recommend her highly enough, she is a credit to your practice.Thanks again Rebecca.
Everything you need from a dental practice and more. You are made to feel welcome throughout your appointment. I was comfortable during procedures, and my comfort and wellbeing seemed paramount.
Visited Seaham Smiles today for a planned dental treatment-filling of back tooth.Stacey Fenwick - dentist completed the procedure. I was nervous to be having the procedure as it was my first ever local anaesthetic oral injection and I was unsure what to expect during the procedure.Stacey was amazing, from entering the room Stacey put me at easy and explained every step of the procedure. Stacey is professional and friendly and I soon felt at ease.Stacey explained in detail the aftercare and answered all my questions.I would definitely go back to Stacey should I need any further dental work completing.Would highly recommend visiting Seaham Smiles and in particular Stacey.
I can’t recommend implants enough I spent 10+ years with a large gap and didn’t realise how this changes how you eat to your face shape. From the initial consultation with options available to the aftercare has been nothing but five star treatment from Nigel and Elisha. My only regret is that I didn’t do it years ago and I wouldn’t think twice about doing it again.
After a lot of years putting my hand over my mouth when smiling i decided to treat myself to invisalign.i was surprised how affordable it was so went ahead and rob hetherington has managed to make me smile hands free :) Anyone wondering if its for you make the move do it treat yourself. I did !! Thanks everyone at seaham smiles
Great dentist, went private here due to no NHS availability and it has a real Vip feel to there service, reasonably priced also compared to going private in some other dentists i looked at around the area
Had my daughter here today for an emergency appointment and what a lovely practice! I have never been to a dentist where the atmosphere is so calm and chilled. The dentist Matt, was so reassuring towards my daughter and the reception staff were lovely.
Highly recommend this dental practise for the treatment, care and aftercare. Cannot thank Robert Hetherington and Jane enough for the outcome of my treatment. Receptionists are very friendly and helpful.
I've recently had composite bonding on my teeth, undertaken by Maha. I am over the moon with the treatment, it has made a huge improvement to my front teeth and has given me the confidence to show my teeth when smiling. Thank you so much.
Had a private airflow with Seaham smiles recently and can’t thank the whole team enough from getting me in at a time that accommodated my needs, to talking me through the process and completing one of the best cleans I’ve had ! Thank you to Rebecca for being to gentle and all staff for having welcoming smiles !
Without a doubt would highly recommend seaham smiles I suuffer with agoraphobia and ptsd and rob made my trip easy by continuing talking to me and going through the steps with me the receptionist staff are amazing too they could see I was nervous and also continued talking to me I’m looking forward to my next visit x
I was in desperate need of an emergency appointment, rang every dentist in the northeast pretty much. They fit me in and helped me. The receptionists are absolutely lovely. If they were taking on patients I would 100% recommend here.
Maha and Ellie were amazing with me when I was very scared due to trauma. Reassured me and made me feel comfortable for an extraction - highly recommend this practice - lovely staff - thank you :-)
Had a really good experience I got my tooth out ended up with an infection in my gum rob sorted it straight away and made me feel at ease finally out of pain now
I have recently undergone extensive work at this practise being subject to various treatments & procedures all of which I feel have been carried out to the highest standards, Nigel is a consummate professional who takes pride in his work & always ensures you are as comfortable as possible whilst treatment is carried out , I also felt he advised on the best course of action in an honest & informed manner , top marks to Nigel & his team, highly recommend this practise.
A really helpful dental practice. Got an emergency appointment quickly due to pain and discomfort. Staff very friendly, they reassured me throughout my dental extraction and gave good aftercare advice.

I would like to send a massive thank you to all the staff for helping my eight year old granddaughter in her emergency for dental help.I’ve been with this dental practice for many years now and have always found the staff to be professional, polite, helpful, respectful and caring. I can’t praise them enough.
I had a dental emergency which could not wait. I tried 15 different dentists closer to home before Seaham Smiles went above and beyond to get me in to see a dentist ASAP.I saw Matt who was absolutely brilliant. I had to have an extraction of a broken tooth which came out in several bits but Matt was very calming and kept me at ease throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the surgery to anyone.Thanks for all your help today
Absolutely amazing thank you Rob and your staff after being terrified for years you have made a visit to the dentist possible for me can't recommend you enough you are 5*+++ thank you
Want to say a massive thank you to all the staff, had to call for emergency appointment today, receptionist was very professional and helpful, following all Covid-19 guidelines.Dentist absolute star, so gentle and friendly, explaining every step what will happen next, reassuring and making sure I’m fine seeing my body shaking and palms sweating. I had my tooth removed and I can say that was my best dental experience so far. Thank you all, excellent service, great job! X
6 years ago we joined this practice as we heard it was family friendly. My daughter who was 3 years old at the time had a huge fear of the dentist, we had even been asked to leave our last practice due to her hysterical crying. Today she had to have a tooth removed as it was causing problems for her big tooth. While she was brave it would not have been possible using local anaesthetic without the fantastic work from Nigel and the rest of the team. Thank you Seaham Smiles!
