Why Choose Hampshire Dentists? Experience, Trust and Patient Care in Southampton
Choosing a dental practice is about more than finding somewhere for your next check up. You want to know that the people looking after your smile have the experience to provide the right care, take the time to listen to you and genuinely care about the community they serve.
Hampshire Dentists has been caring for patients in Southampton City Centre since 2010. Over that time, the practice has built its reputation through clinical experience, patient care, industry recognition and long term relationships with local families.
Here are some of the reasons patients continue to choose Hampshire Dentists for their dental care.
Award Winning Patient Care
Hampshire Dentists was named winner of the Patient Care Award for the South East at the 2023 Private Dentistry Awards, recognising the practice for its approach to looking after patients.
The practice has also been recognised by Three Best Rated as one of the Best Orthodontists in Southampton for both 2024 and 2025.
Awards are only one part of choosing a dental practice, but recognition for patient care and clinical services can provide another useful indication of the standards a practice works towards.
More Than 20 Years of Clinical Experience
Hampshire Dentists is led by Owner and Principal Dentist Robin Hanna, who completed his BDS at Glasgow University in 2003 and has been serving patients in Southampton City Centre since 2010.
Throughout his career, Robin has continued with postgraduate education in the UK and internationally, keeping his knowledge and skills up to date as dentistry continues to develop.
The practice is fully private and family run, with a team offering experience across areas including dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, smile makeovers and restorative dentistry.
For patients, that means being able to access a wide range of treatments within one practice, with care coordinated by a team who can get to know your dental history and long term goals.
A Dental Practice That Is Part of the Local Community
Hampshire Dentists believes that being part of Southampton means more than simply providing dental treatment.
The practice sponsors Littleton Junior FC, supporting a local grassroots football club and the children and families involved with it.
The connection is particularly meaningful because the practice believes that positive experiences during childhood can help shape how people feel about dentistry later in life. By supporting local children away from the dental chair as well as providing a welcoming environment within the practice, Hampshire Dentists aims to help make dentistry feel more approachable.
You can read more about the practice’s involvement with the club in its dedicated article on supporting Littleton Junior FC.
A Calm and Welcoming Environment
Hampshire Dentists now operates from a Grade II listed building at 10 Carlton Crescent in Southampton city centre.
The move has created an environment designed to make visits feel comfortable and welcoming, with patients commenting positively on the building, treatment rooms and friendly reception team.
For patients who feel nervous about dental treatment, the practice takes a particularly gentle approach.
A free 20 minute non clinical consultation is available by phone, video call or in person. This gives you an opportunity to meet the team, explain any concerns and become familiar with the practice before deciding whether you would like to go ahead with treatment.
For someone who has avoided the dentist for years, having that first conversation without sitting in the dental chair can make a real difference.
What Do Patients Say?
One of the strongest indications of a good dental practice is what its patients say after they have been receiving care over many years.
Hampshire Dentists has a 4.9-star Google rating from almost 300 reviews, with patients regularly commenting on the team’s friendly manner, attention to detail and reassuring approach.
One patient who has been with the practice since its original location at Below Bar said:
“We never consider going anywhere else due to the exceptional care and attention to detail received by the whole team.”
The same patient also described the move to Carlton Crescent as elevating the overall experience.
Long term relationships like this are important. They show that patients are not simply happy with one appointment, but continue to trust the practice with their dental care over many years.
A Team Patients Know by Name
Reviews for Hampshire Dentists frequently mention individual members of the team.
Patients have highlighted Silvia for her unrushed and comfortable approach, Marius for his patience with nervous patients, and reception team members Natalie and Nicky for going above and beyond.
That personal connection is an important part of the practice’s approach. Rather than feeling like you are simply another appointment in the diary, the aim is for patients to feel recognised, listened to and comfortable with the people caring for them.
Supporting Nervous Patients
Dental anxiety can make even a routine appointment feel daunting. For some people, that anxiety may have started during childhood and continued into adulthood.
Hampshire Dentists takes time to understand those concerns and offers a dedicated nervous patient service to help make dental visits more manageable.
The free 20 minute consultation can take place in person, over the phone or by video call, giving nervous patients an opportunity to speak to the team before treatment begins.
During appointments, the team focuses on explaining what is happening, answering questions and allowing patients to feel in control of their care.
A Wide Range of Dental Care
While choosing a practice is about much more than the number of treatments it offers, having access to different areas of dentistry can make ongoing care easier.
Hampshire Dentists provides general dental care alongside cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers and composite bonding.
The practice also provides orthodontic treatments including Invisalign and fixed braces, dental implants from individual tooth replacement through to more complex solutions, and emergency dental care for patients experiencing pain.
Having these services available within the same practice means your treatment can be planned around your individual needs rather than having to start again with a different provider whenever your requirements change.
Interest free finance options are also available across treatments, with a Treatment Coordinator available to discuss costs and treatment options by phone, video call or in person.
