“Mr Varma carried out my root canal treatment in an excellent and pain-free procedure. I can highly recommend him as a dentist, especially for the nervous patient!”

Julie Goodwin

“My old dentist retired and I was dreading finding a new one who would make me feel so comfortable. I was lucky to find Crofton House Dental Practice, where I feel very relaxed and in good hands. Both the dentist, Gopal, and hygienist, Karen, are very gentle and all the staff are lovely and friendly.”

Mrs Tina Mehta

“I have had extensive dental treatment at Crofton House Dental Practice recently, and I cannot praise the staff here highly enough. Mr Varma's expertise is of the highest calibre, his treatments and early interventions have saved all my teeth and I am secure in the knowledge that my dental health is now in top form. The dental procedures are all clearly explained and Mr Varma's sensitive and caring manner puts patients at ease. All the staff are helpful and friendly. This a well-run dental practice which treats patients with care and provides a personalised and professional service at all times.”

Treatments

The practice provides a range of dental treatments and looks after many family groups providing general dental services for children, adults and senior citizens. Our philosophy is centred around listening to our patients and using our professional experience and skill to assess your dental needs and provide appropriate and ethical care and treatment.

We understand you may be embarrassed if you haven’t been to see a dentist for a while. You can feel reassured that we don’t judge or criticise our patients and our aim is to help you feel relaxed and at ease when you visit the practice.

‘The Wand’ is a painless system which delivers anesthesia slowly, ensuring the sensation is far more comfortable than the traditional syringe system. Gopal can use ‘The Wand’ to numb just one tooth, avoiding the usual numbness that can be experienced with conventional injections. Patients tell us that ‘The Wand’ has reduced their anxiety levels and made their visit to the dentist a more relaxing experience.

In addition to general dental treatment, Gopal provides an extensive range of cosmetic solutions.
