"Bourne Dental is fantastic particularly with my 8yr old as a nervous patient. The care and respect given by all members of the team towards my daughter and I has been outstanding. My daughter has gone from being terrified to more trusting thanks to Dr Ismail and the dental nurses."

"...Dr Ismail Qazi is without a doubt the best dentist I have ever been to. He explains everything, is incredibly calming, highly professional and made the whole experience pleasant. His dentistry is so gentle, I shut my eyes and drifted off during root canal treatment!
I have never felt more relaxed at a dental practice, it is designed so beautifully, it feels like it is a luxury experience, a stark comparison to the other practice I had been to..."

Frequently Asked Questions

We consider any of the following to be dental emergencies requiring immediate attention:

  • Severe toothache that doesn't respond to painkillers

  • Bleeding that won't stop

  • Broken tooth with pain or sharp edges
  • Lost crown or filling with pain
  • Dental trauma from an accident
  • Signs of infection (pain, swelling, bad taste)

  • Immediate threats to life (severe swelling affecting breathing): Seen immediately
  • Severe pain or trauma: Typically within 1 hour
  • Broken teeth without pain: Usually same day
  • Lost fillings/crowns: Same day or next available appointment
