Testimonials

I had a bad night’s sleep due to a raging toothache. This morning I sent an email to Mr Tonsbeek's surgery and the receptionist telephoned back within 5 minutes. An appointment was arranged for 10am and the nasty old tooth was removed. I was really impressed, not only by the service, but also Mr Tonsbeek’s professionalism. I hadn't even realised that he had removed the tooth as it was such a totally painless experience. I could not recommend Mr Tonsbeek highly enough. Well done. (Rev. Tony Budell, a very grateful patient indeed)

My husband and I have been with this practice since 1974. We have therefore been with Mr. Tonsbeek since he began here. I am a very nervous patient but have always found Maarten Tonsbeek to be very kind, courteous and understanding, putting me at ease, especially through the extensive treatment that I have required. I now have a prettier smile than I had in my youth! A word about the receptionists, we have always found them friendly and polite. We love the decor which has a relaxing atmosphere and reflects the Dutch master that Mr. Tonsbeek is!
We have no hesitation in recommending this practice. (Mrs. Janice Connor)

You have been looking after my husband and myself for many years, and have managed, through kindness and understanding to cure me of my phobia of dentistry! I must admit that at the suggestion of need for root fillings filled me with dread. I took my courage in both hands and came to see you. To my surprise I had no pain either at the time of the procedure, or afterwards. In fact you were brilliant. I actually am looking forward to seeing you in six months time, can you believe. Many thanks. (Mrs. M. Sparks)

At the Dental Care Centre you will discover a pleasant, peaceful atmosphere, where the walls are tastefully decorated with Van Gogh floral prints. Above all, you will find a highly skilled, unpretentious professional who clearly enjoys tricky dental challenges and glows with satisfaction when they are met.
I came to Mr. Tonsbeek in some desperation towards the end of 2008, after a succession of negative experiences with several dental practices in Canterbury. After having received the treatment, I can once again smile confidently in public, due to the expert care and attention I have been fortunate to receive. At every stage of my treatment, I was kept fully informed of procedures, options and costs. Consequently, I have pleasure in recommending his services. (Ms. Hilary Rouse-Amadi)

Maarten Tonsbeek has been looking after my family's dental health for many years and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Reassuring, infinitely patient and thoroughly professional Maarten Tonsbeek takes all the anxiety out of a visit to the dentist. He is enthusiastic about his work and keeps abreast of all the new developments in dentistry. (Mrs. Jane Chakravorty)

I have been going to Maarten Tonsbeek for over 20 years now and he is the best dentist in the universe. I live abroad part of the time and have always come back - from Egypt, the Bahamas, Bermuda and Canada, to have him do my teeth. I have a front crown he did which is perfect, and he always gives honest, reliable and correct advice at all times. He also keeps fully up-to-date with new techniques and procedures, and has a very good "bedside" manner. Heartily recommended. ( Mrs. Diane Antone)

I was very pleased and impressed with the caring and professional way Mr. Tonsbeek dealt with my dental treatment. ( Mrs. L. Parkinson)

With Mr. Tonsbeek I always feel I am in very safe hands. You feel instantly reassured and are made to feel very welcome by his receptionist. The surgery is the most modern I have ever seen and the fact that he almost without fail, sees you on the appointed time or even before, is a real bonus. The advantage with a small practice is that you always see the same dentist. With previous practices I have attended, you never managed to see the same dentist twice. I have been going to him for the last 15 years and would not go anywhere else. ( Mr. F. Jones)
