“Steven is the best dentist I’ve ever had! He is always so happy and friendly whenever i go in for a check up. I recently had to have 2 fillings which i was nervous about as I’m terrified of needles! Steven is always so gentle and puts me at ease and is very understanding, the nurse (not sure of her name unfortunately) is also so patient and caring! You cant even see my fillings they look and feel amazing, wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dental work.”

““Brought my Son in today because he had some baby teeth left that were causing him pain. It was his first experience of being numbed and Muneeb was brilliant with him talking him through all the steps to put him at ease. Didi coached him through his breathing to keep him calm and told him what a great job he was doing. I was super impressed with the time they took with him.”

“Took my seven year old son and saw Muneeb and the dental nurses, Didi and Chloe.
My son had an overhanging tooth that was a little stubborn to come out and the team were amazing at putting him at ease. They quickly (and painlessly!!!) removed the tooth and my son has never been happier.
A great team who went above and beyond for me son. Thank you.”

“I have nothing but praise for Dr Stephen Lai and his team at Offerton. I had lost my confidence with my previous dental practice and then been deregistered. Quite recently I needed treatment and after reading reviews, I registered at Offerton. I feel that Dr. Lai has been really thorough with his examinations and explained to me exactly what needed to be done so that I understood it all, and that took the fear away. I’m very grateful to him for getting me back on the road to good dental health with such expertise and patience. I would definitely recommend him.”

“I have been going to Offerton Dental for around 5/6 years now and have recently been put under the care of Muneeb and the team, Bernice, Didi & Kate. I recently had to have an extraction which I was not looking forward to at all with one's I have had to have removed at previous dentists in the past causing a lot of pain both during the treatment and afterwards. BUT I can honestly say that this is the first extraction I have had where I have never felt a thing. It was over with before I knew it. I would definately (sic) recommend Offerton dental and the whole team there.”

“I cannot recommend this dentist enough.
Myself and family are always made to feel welcome.. In what for some is a nervous environment. I have to got over my fear of the dentist with Steven he is a lovely guy who always make sure you are comfortable throughout your procedure .my children love check up time with no hesitation to go .
All in all never had a problem”
Kerry Louise Rowlinson. Visited in February 2022.
“I have always been a very nervous patient, and not having my regular check ups due to Covid a filling came out recently and I was extremely apprehensive and nervous about making an appointment. Steven and his team were fantastic with me as always, they made me feel comfortable, calm and were extremely understanding. Even from the initial call to make the appointment, the lovely lady on reception was so welcoming and accommodating and made me feel they had missed me.
I can not recommend Steven and his team enough, they have always been so good with me and where other dentists have failed to be able to get me to have treatment, they succeed in relaxing me by being very personable, and caring.
You always receive a first class service and are always made to feel there is no rush, you are their priority.
Greeted by big smiles and interest in you and what you have been up to, with laughs and banter really makes you feel at ease and like your part of a family.
Thank you Steven and remember I have told you, you can never retire!!!”

“Brilliant service, Steven is so caring and gave me all the information and options required to enable me to make a decision on the next steps. He was encouraging without being pushy and I felt he always had my best interests at heart. I am so pleased I took his advice and waited and persevered (I had had a tooth extraction and still had pain after 10 days) and everything righted itself on its own. I would highly recommend. Thank you.”
