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.

But don’t just take our word for it… have a look at our Google, Facebook and Instagram reviews to see what our patients think.

Hygienist very good, explained everything very well and helpful with my questions. I have a sensitive gag reflex which she accommodated, the Dental Nurse was also very accommodating not filling the back of my mouth with the water. Previous visit the Dental Nurse’s method was a bit harsh to be honest.

Following my previous very poor experience with another dentist at this clinic (who is fortunately no longer employed there), I am pleased to say that Johann Havenga fully restored my confidence in the clinic, which had been badly shaken.

The hygenist and dental nurse, was friendly, put me at ease, explained everything they were doing . Very professional

New hygienist was very skilful. She was using new equipment and methods and explained them in detail before commencing the treatment. She kept checking on my comfort during the procedure. Afterwards, she offered further advice about brushing, etc. There were two other personnel attending: an assistant and (presumably) a trainee. It felt like a spa treatment!

Monika and Paula were excellent … I was running a little late and they adapted to ensure I could still receive my treatment and didn’t risk the way they looked after me.
