History

We’ve been part of the local community in West End, Southampton for nearly 35 years. During that time we have built a trusted reputation as a friendly, professional practice with a personal approach to your dental needs.

The Dental Health Private Clinic was founded by Dr Peter Watt in August 1983. Peter retired at the end of February 2020 but the practice is still going strong with our 5 dentists, 2 hygienists and our 10 support staff and now open 6 days a week.

We pride ourselves on delivering quality private dental care with the personal touch, creating bespoke treatment plans to fit your budget and requirements with a patient centered approach.

Firstly can I say the Dentist is not my favourite location. Having said that I don't think I could find anyware better than the "Dental Health Private Dental Clinic " in West End, Southampton. The staff are first class, very efficient and cheerfull and I feel at ease when I'm there.

I really love this practice, the reception is kind and there's always an appointment for me and my daughter and husband when we need it. Johann is so thorough, honest and takes a lot of care. I have always been really impressed that he always tries not to take the most drastic option which a lot of other dentists do. I was in Australia for 2 years and refused to see another dentist and always look forward to my visits. Thank you so much

I was nervous but James put me at ease and made sure I was OK and comfortable through the appointment. He answered all my questions

I was happy with the friendly atmosphere which put me at ease. And the relaxed way the dentist made me feel. I used to be very anxious but since going to my dentist of a few years, I am not.

The Dental Health Private Dental Clinic has been nothing short of amazing with my teenager, who has a deep seated phobia of dentists. Every member of staff is so welcoming and thoughtful. The dentist my teen sees takes everything at their pace, so they feel and know they are in control of what happens to them in the dentists chair. Right from our very first visit, it was abundantly clear that their aim was to see my teen for who they are and work with them, gaining their trust and ultimately getting them a step closer to easing that abject fear of visiting, and allowing a dentist to help care for their dental health.
