We understand that a trip to the dentist can be stressful for some, perhaps bringing back memories of old school dentistry that frankly, we’d all rather forget. We’re always sad but never surprised to hear how many people suffer with painful toothache rather than getting the help they really need. Sound familiar? We want to help you and can reassure you that we do everything in our power to make your visit as comfortable, stress free and pain free* as possible. 

The entire team at Hampshire Dentists are trained in the latest pain free* dental techniques to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. We recognise that the first step is often the biggest one so we’re happy to go at your pace whether your first visit is simply coming through the door, having a cup of tea with one of the team or actually sitting in the dental chair to have treatment. We get that some people dislike the smell or the sound of the dentist as well so we use soothing music – or music of your choice and have Jo Malone scents to avoid the dentist smell. Furthermore, we listen with compassion, we never ever judge and will offer sensible, suitable solutions to get you out of pain and back on track to good dental health.

We’re used to working with patients with dental anxiety all the time – you can relax, you’ll be in great hands with us.

“You were so kind, tolerant and gentle”

We don’t just say pain free, we measure it and we mean it….

We couldn’t be happier that, like Pip, so many of our patients are “no longer scared of going to the dentist.”  We’re thrilled that our practice has grown mainly through word of mouth and by reviews on social media but to ensure that all voices are being heard, we ask our patients to fill in a questionnaire anonymously about their experience in the chair with us. We use this feedback to monitor, review and continually improve our performance for your confidence and reassurance. We’re delighted that at present, 99% of patients said our treatment was pain free. *

I don't often write reviews, however as a dentist was up there with one of my top fears, I am so pleased that this is no longer the case with the help of the Hampshire Dentists team.Where do I start? From my initial enquiry to my next day call back dealt with by Tracey, I instantly felt at ease. The reception team were very friendly and accomodating and full of smiles.Whilst I sat waiting for my first dental visit in over 10 years, the smallest of touches like the ambience of music for distraction and the personal welcome from Beccy who I believe is the Practice Manager continued to ease my nerves.I was welcomed by Robin and his nurse and had a full dental health check. He was very gentle with his approach and it was actually a very comfortable experience. I received a full breakdown & explanation (which was super thorough) of my dental health, followed by a full treatment plan and clear costings.Robin ensured that I understood the clinical 'jargon'.To cut it short, I can't wait to return so I can smile again, with confidence!Thank you team.

I was very nervous before this appointment. My daughter doesn’t like new places, being touched, loud noises and we had to fix her 🦷And what an amazing surprise it was!She laid down on me on big blue chair. Dentist did check up and explained to her everything. We’ve already practiced at home opening her mouth so she was ok with this. Emma hold the hand mirror for her so she could see everything in it. I covered her ears with my hands. Dr Marius did his magic with talking and drilling. Than a little bit of air blow and filling was in! My daughter was fascinated by the whole visit! When we left she said ‘Mummy I have the best Dentist ever! Can I have another hole! Please’. Well, the answer was NO but surely many more check-ups to come!!!Thank you so much Hampshire Dentists team!!!

had my first visit today with the hygienist. the equipment they use is a pleasure because they use warm water in their machine rather than cold so great if you have sensitive teeth. very kind and professional and a MUCH appreciated pain free appointment.

Hampshire Dentists are fabulous! The receptionists are warm and friendly and immediately put me at ease. Rob is brilliant, did a great job on replacing my bridge and it was pain free. He’s a perfectionist, so I knew I would be happy with my new smile x Great Work Hampshire Dentist x a huge Thank you x

What can I say about Robin & his team at Hampshire Dentists except absolutely 5 star customer service!! Today I was feeling a bit anxious about my treatment needed to be done but firstly Becky & Nicky put my mind at rest made me cup tea, mentioned it to Robin who took me in to discuss further what we were doing. I had 3 hr appt booked with Robin but he just sat me down & explained everything and we rescheduled I was so happy and reassured. He did not worry about time I was booked with him totally amazing showing not only himself but his whole team care about us as patients. I’m so delighted to have them as my dentists who I was recommended to in first place.I must also mention Shannah, Natalie , Barbs abd Kasha all excellent and very professional too. I’m always welcomed with a lovely friendly smile. Well done Robin and your fabulous team! Cannot thank you enough for your excellent customer service 🙏🙏👋👋👋

Marina Marlene Cornwall

I cannot speak highly enough of Robin Hannah and his team, he prides himself on Pain Free Dentistry and that is certainly what you get, he is kind calm, talks through what is happening, and as i said absolutely no pain!!I would not have any other dentist practice work on my teeth or my familys teeth, we are all so happy with Hampshire Dentist.Julie Luke Joe and Bethany.

Joe Gower

Dr Robin has been my dentist for years now. He’s the best dentist I’ve been to. Always listens, and has a kind and gentle approach to dentistry. Been to some butchers in the past! I am currently having orthodontics and have just had an implant placed, which i was a bit nervous about having done, but Rob put me at ease. I can highly recommend Dr Robin and all of the team. It feels like coming to see friends rather than the dentist.

Andrew

Marius was so kind when I was extremely nervous about my dental procedure. He was really patient and gentle and explained everything to me to ensure I had a positive experience that was completely pain free. I was completely fine about coming back for my second treatment and am so relieved he managed to fix my tooth and stop me being such an anxious patient!

Elisa Belverstone

Wonderful treatment totally pain free and very clear treatment plan which was explained every step of the journey to a new set of teeth. I would recommend Dr Hannah to anybody.

angela Hope-Murray

I hadn't been to the dentist for years because it hurt so much. Natalie and Nicky on reception were so lovely and really went above and beyond my expectations, the best receptionists ever with a caring and can do attitude. All the staff are lovely and it was pain free.

Dorothy Chamberlain

I have just had cosmetic bonding on my four front teeth as I dinked the front tooth a couple of years ago and it has bothered me ever since! After a consultation exploring all the options I decided to go for the cosmetic bonding method which was a reasonably priced, painless and a one session tidy up! I am really happy with the results! Thank you David! Before and after photo

Natalie Bundle

5 star review for this dentist but specifically for emma the hygienist. I had an appointment today and am always nervous due to sensitive teeth and was put at ease immediately and my teeth have never felt so clean. Superb job.

Jackie Spencer

Cannot recommend this amazing dentist enough! Super friendly and when they say pain free they mean pain free. For someone who is normally a little anxious about the dentist I feel completely relaxed when I go for my appointments. I have been to dentists before that just throw a load of words at me that I dont really understand where as here they really explain everything to you and I always feel confidence in what they all tell me. Honestly you wont regret choosing this place 🙂

Paisley Thomson

Brilliant dentist surgery, I've had a filling, extraction and an implant done here, as well as a hygienist appointment and I can't recommend them enough. Truly pain free experience, too. All staff very friendly.

Anna Wyeth

The best dentist. Have had some work done recently and it was completely painless. I feel so relaxed and at ease in there which is big for me as I’m not particularly a fan of the dentist. Everyone is so lovely and Marius is incredible (I’m sure they all are but have only had him). Highly recommend

Paisley Kerry

Fantastic patient care delivered by true professionals! I have just finished a course of treatment for the worst tooth ache I ever experienced; it was literally tear inducing. From start to finish Robin Hanna and his team were incredible. I felt completely relaxed, safe and well informed throughout the successful treatment. I left completely pain free on my first visit and was brilliantly looked after during the two required follow up appointments. I can not recommend this team enough... If you have teeth and live in Hampshire, then this is the place you should take them. Thank you so much!

antony hill

I can’t recommend this place enough.I had 3 appointments this month (1 every week). I chose this dentist from the good reviews and the reviews weren’t lying! Such friendly and kind staff. I felt no pain on any of my appointments, went very quickly. 100% recommend. Weirdly excited for my next appointment in October haha!

Chloe Barton

I had an appointment today with Dr. Marius it was superb and painless. He is very Professional . I have booked another appointment with Dr Rob . They take good care of me and it’s worth every penny . They are covid safe too . Thank you to the whole team .

Elizabeth Njeru

Just wanted to say thanks to Rob and the team at Hampshire Dentists. It was such a good experience; from the courtesy call in advance and warm welcome on arrival, to the relaxed atmosphere (and pain free experience!) in the surgery. Thanks for going the extra mile. If Carlsberg did dentists...!

Craig Edmondson

I honestly cannot rate Hampshire Dentists highly enough. Everyone is so genuinely caring, understanding and very smiley , always taking the time to explain treatment options with no judgement or pressure. I have recently had braces fitted and instead of feeling nervous and apprehensive everyone involved has just made me feel excited and keen to get started. I trust them entirely and would recommend them to everyone.

Kiera Legg

I would like to give my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the amazing, warm-hearted team at Hampshire dentists. Needing an emergency appointment whilst 100 miles from home and caring for a very poorly child in intensive care I phoned up and explained my situation. From the start they did everything to accommodate me and found me a slot within a couple of hours despite being incredibly busy. I was treated with such care, gentleness and compassion by Robin during my visit, a true calling. His kindness went way beyond the call of duty and I will always feel indebted to him and his wonderful team. If I didn't live so far away this would be the dentist of my choice who I would recommend to everyone

debbie gray

This was my first time with Hampshire Dentists and it was an emergency appointment. I was assessed and given an appointment straight away. Fantastic service from all the team including the receptionist, dental nurses and Rob the dentist. The whole assessment and procedure was completely pain free despite being in a lot of pain before the appointment. Rob was incredibly gentle and explained everything as it happened. Definitely moving the whole family to this practice. Definitely 5/5

Mairead Mulhall

After months of misery (not being able to see my normal dentist) these ladies and gentleman had my issues sorted within no time at all. So professional, friendly, caring and pain free treatment. Absolutely amazing service. Thank you for making me happy again.

Becky Keable

The whole staff are amazing! Very reassuring to nervous patients and they obviously love working there. The actual dentist Marius was wonderful, he spoke with calmness and explained every single detail of the examination. I am very happy to have this dental practice 5 stars.

Caroline Diggins

Had an emergency appointment today after having months of pain with my tooth. I was so nervous but all of the staff were amazing! Especially the dentist, after having treatment I feel 100% better. The whole experience was absolutely pain free and the staff were so nice. Definitely will recommend to everyone! Can’t rate this dentist enough.

Kellie Mason

Having avoided going to the dentist for the past 2 years and then making it one of my New Years resolutions, I was persuaded by the many recommendations of friends to book in with Robin Hanna. I made it just before the year ran out! And then wished I hadn’t waited so long, I was welcomed with a cup of tea (is this even allowed at the dentist?), smiling faces and kind words. Robin understood my anxiety and explained everything in a calm quiet way helping me to relax. I can honestly say that for the first time I did not find it stressful and was happy to return for 2 further visits - I feel he and his team have helped me overcome my fears and I cannot recommend them enough.

Louise Evans

I was super nervous when I moved to Southampton and had to find a new dentist in a city where there are so many to choose from. I was really happy with the one that I had and had a few bad experiences in the past that made me very nervous every time I went for a check up and even more nervous if I had to have any work done. My first appointment with Dr Hanna I sat in the reception shaking a little as I was so nervous. As soon as I walked into his treatment room I was instantly put at ease by his huge smile and calming nature. He talked me through the whole examination and asked me so many more questions than the usual “how are your teeth” and also checked my jaw which I’ve never had at another check up. I’ve had one or two treatments with Dr Hanna and I can honestly say he goes ABOVE and BEYOND any other dentist to make sure you are comfortable and looked after (I think he genuinely cares that his patients are happy, pain free and gives them the best/suitable advice) instead of offering treatments to make money. It’s not only Dr Hanna that makes the practice what it is though as you are well looked after from the moment you step in thanks to the reception team and friendly dental nurses. I would highly recommend Dr Hanna but my husband is also a patient of the surgery with another dentist and is also super happy with the treatment he receives. Thank you Hampshire Dentists for being so awesome!!

Kayleigh Taylor

I’m so grateful to Robin and his team for their outstanding care. I walked in with an abscess and no appointment and was treated and pain free within 30 minutes. Can’t thank them enough.

Alison Farmer

I'm such a nervous patient but was completely put at ease the kindness, patience and understanding was amazing and best of all you've helped me SMILE again !!!!!!!! I couldn't have wished for more ........

“This really is ‘Pain Free Dentistry’ at its best”

I had had a long series of awful dental experiences, which left me a really nervous patient. Right from the the minute I stepped through the door, the HD team were friendly and professional. At my first appointment, Dr Rob Hannah was calming, patient and completely non-judgemental, even though I spent a lot of the time in tears! I was provided with a comprehensive treatment plan, with absolutely no pressure to have anything done. I did proceed with my treatment, and I haven’t looked back. Every visit has eased my nerves a little more. The whole team make you feel welcome and the environment is always spotless and calm. Rob and the wonderful Barbra work hard to put me at ease, and nothing feels too much trouble. I cannot recommend this dental treatment centre enough. Thank you so much Rob, Barbs and the team. This really is ‘Pain Free Dentistry’ at its best.

“I have found the best Dentist team ever”

If I could give Hampshire Dentist 10 Stars i would!! I am a huge nervous wreck when it comes to the dentists, Dr. Hanna & Daniella and the team were so incredibly friendly, calming and put me right at ease from the moment i stepped in, they were super thorough and will be working out a plan for my treatment going forward. I have today had an appointment with Charlotte the Hygienist, I was extremely nervous again as heard this can be bit a painful, however i did not feel a thing, put me at so much ease ready for my next journey & appointments. I can honestly say I have found the best Dentist team ever and cant wait to finally not worry about attending my appointments! AAAAA****** Service!

“I smile now, which I never did before”

I first went in and spoke to the team at Hampshire Dentists, which was a tough thing for me to do, after some awful experiences with other dentists, I just lost all faith, my teeth were something that was affecting me mentally and physically, stopping me doing so many things I wanted to. The team put me on to Rob Hanna, Rob couldn’t have been any more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and everything I asked for he made sure of it. On the 20th November I was in the chair for 9 hours nearly. I was put to sleep out of choice of my own, which was probably the best thing I did. I woke up feeling only a little sore, considering what I had done I thought I would have been in agony! Getting Rob to fix my teeth was the best thing I ever did. I cannot thank him enough, I’m currently having some more small treatments, but feeling so comfortable and trusting, I’m going to just be numbed rather than asleep, which for me is crazy as walking into a dentist before meeting Hampshire Dentists would have been a miracle let alone having work done whilst being awake. I really can’t thank the team enough. I smile now, which I never did before, lots of friends and family didn’t realise I even could smile! My confidence is sky high and I’m so over the moon. Thank you all so much.

“I felt calm during all appointments”

I am someone who has always been very anxious and feared visits to the dentist since I was a child. I suffered from a bad toothache and made an emergency appointment with Hampshire dentist. This has truly been the best choice I had ever made. From my very first appointment to the last day of my treatment for a root canal I cannot explain in words how my experience has been. Hampshire dentist keep to their promise of treating their patients with courtesy and respect. With calm and caring staff always making sure they give you the best care. Marius has been amazing throughout my treatment, explaining carefully and making sure I felt calm during all appointments. The staff and the lovely receptionists always greeted me with a smile and made me feel relaxed as soon as I walked in. If you are an anxious person like myself then Hampshire dentist is where you need to come to. For the first time in my life I am looking forward to my next check up!
