Nervous Patient Video Testimonial By Amanda Highland With Dr Hema Dhingra
“I can testify to the excellent service and treatment I received. The dentist and her team were extremely kind and considerate in determining the best treatment for me and very diligent in ensuring the highest quality of outcomes. I would happily recommend and will continue to use this clinic. I was very happy with my teeth straightening treatment and the care and service provided throughout the whole experience. Thank you so much for your time and patience, but most of all giving me back my smile that I can be proud of.”
“The difference you make to people like me is everything. From walking in on my first appointment, full of horrendous nerves, to now - all thanks to the amazing BDC team. I couldn’t even sit in a dentist chair when I first made it into the room! I had two teeth extracted in a week and I can’t believe I did it! I'm still tearful and anxious when I come but I feel so reassured and supported. The way the team adapted to support my issues and the zero judging me means more than I can ever say. A million thank you's to you all. I feel so lucky to have you.”

Brilliant experience with John, for my three young children. Very informative and helpful. Great with them all, but especially if they were nervous. Great with doing treatment and talking my eldest through and taking extra time and care. Very calm and personable manner. Thorough and really helpful with preventative measures and advice. The kids loved it really!

From the moment you walk through the doors of Biggleswade Dental Centre, you are treated with genuine kindness, professionalism, and respect. The entire team goes above and beyond to make every patient feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease.
The practice is spotless, modern, and exceptionally well organised, with outstanding attention to detail in every aspect of patient care. Every member of staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about providing the highest possible standard of treatment. Nothing ever feels rushed, and everything is explained clearly, giving you complete confidence throughout your visit.
A special thank you to Hema and the entire team for creating such an incredible environment where patient care truly comes first. It is easy to see why this practice has built such an outstanding reputation.

Had an emergency appointment following a broken molar and the team fitted me in within days. The dentist I saw provided with clear methods how how they would retain the tooth rather than removal (another clinic quoted 2 teeth to be removed to solve the issue). The clinician also discovered another broken tooth that would cause me certain issues in the future so managed to repair the teeth over two consecutive days. As a private patient, it was fairly priced, fantastic work and the team at the front desk are incredibly polite and professional.

Clean, modern, lovely reception and friendly receptionists. Usually a nervous patient but the dentist was truly wonderful. Felt more like a conversation with a friend. Non judgemental, upfront about costs and generally great. Cannot fault it. Will be going back for treatments shortly.

Referred here for 2 extractions. Dentist talked me through the procedure and I felt very reassured. He used breathing techniques to help me through the injections and procedure. He carefully explained aftercare and made sure to ask if I had any questions. Was over very quickly and painlessly. Centre was clean and bright, staff were friendly and welcoming.

I had a lovely experience at Biggleswade Dental Centre. I booked in for a routine check-up and a bit of a clean, and the whole appointment was handled with real care and professionalism. The receptionist was friendly and organised, and I was seen on time, which is always a bonus.
The dentist explained everything clearly, checked my teeth thoroughly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I tend to get a bit anxious about dental visits, but they put me at ease straight away with their calm manner and gentle approach.
It’s reassuring to find a dental clinic that feels so efficient yet still personal. I’d happily recommend Biggleswade Dental Centre to anyone looking for dependable dental care. Five stars from me.

From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel welcome. I suffer from anxiety so that helped a great deal! The dentist Adesh who helped me with my tooth extraction was wonderful. He explained everything to me and gave me breathing exercises to help me get through the appointment! His assistant Echo was also lovely and that helped as well. 😃

I have been coming to this dentist since I can remember and have recently been moved over to John. He is the best dentist I’ve ever seen! As someone who suffers with anxiety he is so calm and reassuring. I used to avoid coming to the dentist but now I feel so safe and not judged at all. Also to the lovely dental nurse Amber I believe her name is! So lovely and welcoming. Thank you so much ☺️

This is from Kathleen Hindle. I recently had a set of dentures designed by Raelene Ssambrook. I did not have many teeth left and the new dentures are made to complement the existing teeth. Raelene spotted that one molar showed underlying infection, and I had to have the tooth removed. Overall, the treatment was brilliant. I am delighted with the dentures. I feel more confident about my smile. The improvement is greater than I could have imagined. Many thanks to Raelene and Jo. Kathleen

I have been attending Biggleseade Dental Centre for quite some time. Previously Ballard and Tucker.
I visited today (10/10/25) to see the hygienist. The reception staff are very efficient and I always receive a warm welcome.
I hadn't seen a hygienist for a while - I was a little apprehensive. He was a lovely guy and seemed to know when I needed a break, allowing me to interrupt the cleaning process for a moment.
He was very thorough. Helpful too when going over how to use the teepee brushes.
I am very pleased with the treatment I received today - thank you.

However, all went exceedingly well. I left, expressing my thanks for the reception and the efficient, painless extractions.

I was extremely anxious having to attend BDC to have my tooth out but the dental nurse was lovely and calmed me instantly. The dentist was calm and confident in doing the extraction. Both were very supportive and kind and made the whole experience much more positive for me. Thank you.

Rita is always friendly and very good at her job. Would recommend her anytime. The practice, however, is very money centric and are always very keen to push other services. Prices are very high (£1000 for a front tool cap!) which has prompted me to try a new dentist for a comparison. Would recommend if you are lucky enough to not have too many money worries.

I've been visiting this practice for many years now and never had any issues with standards of customer service and treatment. In recent years Georgina Price has been my dentist and she could not be more friendly, reassuring when required, and efficient. For many years in the past I was a very nervous and reluctant patient but I'm now always happy to have my two visits per year.

Easily and by far the best dentist I’ve ever had (and I’ve had ALOT). Everyone from the ladies on reception, the dental assistants and the dentists themselves are such a pleasure to deal with. But my special thanks will go to Dr John Calvert. He’s just an absolute star who, I believe, always goes above and beyond what could be expected of a dentist. His kindness, his understanding, his expertise, put pay to my nerves and so many bad past experiences. For that, I’m forever in his debt. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful dentists.

Had tooth extracted about 2 months ago, Bhav, the surgeon and his dental nurse couldn’t have been nicer. It was quite a lengthy procedure but they were both so calm throughout it rubbed off on me, thankfully ! Bhav explained that I would probably experience some bruising to my face, he wasn’t wrong, but glad he warned me otherwise I may have panicked. Went back today for a check up and all ok, again Bhav and the nurse both very pleasant. Would thoroughly recommend this dental care centre.

I am an extremely anxious person and haven't been to a dentist for approx 5 years. I have had a toothache on and off for a few months now, and needed to go! Although the outcome is an extraction, the empathy and care was amazing. I now need to pluck up courage for the removal, but they made me feel at ease and absolutely no pressure. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Jason is always so lovely. Explains everything, tells you what you’re doing right and what more you could do. My young son has also seen him a few times now and he’s always happy to see him and vice versa. As an NHS patient I feel sometimes you can get belittled, but this is absolutely not the case. His assistants are always kind and friendly and good with my son too.

Iv'e never had an issue with this Dental Surgery. I had a bad experience with my old Dentist back in 1995 which stopped me seeing another until 2022 and that was the Biggleswade Dental Centre who made me welcome, at ease and helped overcome my fear of dentistry. Really pleasant Dentist (Mr Calvert) and fantastic staff. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

Having always been quite nervous when it came to visiting the dentist, I can honestly say that John has allayed my previous fears to the point during today’s visit I felt as relaxed as I do having my hair done……which I consider a treat! Thank you so much for the caring and considerate environment you create.

Great experience at Biggleswade Dental Centre today, this was our second visit to the practice for a first fitting of braces. This was a new experience for us as no one else in the family has needed braces before and our 12 Yr old took it their stride! We saw Ruby and Nilma today who fitted the braces, both had a very calm and experienced approach, superb communication explaining each part of the process. We were given the next appointment straight away afterwards at the reception desk and are looking forward to seeing the team there in the not to distant future. The cleanliness of the practice is superb and the team members well presented. Would 100% recommend this dental practice!

I had a very positive experience at the practice. The dentist was professional, polite, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped put me at ease. The reception team were friendly and welcoming too.
There was a little bit of confusion around the cost of additional treatment and products, which could have been clearer — having prices listed somewhere and providing a breakdown on the receipt would really help improve transparency.
Overall though, I felt well cared for and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you!
