I just wanted to thank you again for how well you all treated my mum yesterday. She was very nervous but you were so kind and considerate and, although she felt a bit battered last night, she said you were very gentle and nothing like the dentists she remembers from years ago who seemed much less caring.

So I've just returned from my first visit to Dental 397 and I must say, it has been the most pleasant and informed dentist experience I've ever had in 37 years! From the reception staff, to the dental nurses, to Dapo herself, they are all very lovely, polite and make you feel comfortable. Every detail was explained properly and nothing felt rushed. An outstanding and unique service to say the least! Thank you,
10th September 2019
I am blown away by your kindness. You really are one in a million, it really did make my day coming home to your parcel of chocolates and prosecco. Thank you so much Dapo, you are a shining star. It's been such a tough time in my life and for you to think of me and reach out means a lot.

Dear Dapo and the Dental 397 team
Firstly, just to say thank you for making me feel so welcome as a new patient. Dapo, your assessment was so thorough and it was lovely to have such a good conversation about what the issues are and my options - as a patient this makes you feel so much more in control, which reduces anxiety!! Lastly, what a surprise to be given such a wonderful birthday treat on leaving!! See you soon. Kind Regards.

Dapo's dentistry skills are second to none, there is no doubt in that! But her ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease every single time is quite the attribute. A very kind, understanding professional who i would recommend to anyone - and I can't forget the rest of the team, always so joyful and welcoming the moment you walk through the door, adding a little touch of fun to the visit! Couldn't praise Dental397 enough.
19th December 2017
Wow
For a number of years I have been very n
nervous of the dentist. When I finally decided to visit Dapo and her team I was looked after extremely well and as time went on my nerves melted away. The way Dapo and her team work is highly professional and they always put people at ease. As for my teeth, I am now completely out of pain and all problems have been sorted. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

22nd September 2017
WOW
Wow!!! So yesterday we decided to extract one of my upper wisdom teeth... scary experience!! I had a tooth extracted before by another practice and when it came around, the pain was unbearable, I was crying and my mouth bruised, and taking pain relief, so when Dapo said about removing my wisdom tooth yesterday all this came flooding back with a few tears while waiting, I kept thinking. I'm on a late shift at work, how am I going to cope when I come around..... I have a lot of confidence in Dapo and her work as she's built my confidence up so she started, well after Dapo started not even a minute later the tooth was out and I was being cared for ready to get to work. Yes that's right, after having a tooth out, back to work... no bleeding, no bruising, no sore mouth, not even late for work. Amazing!!!
Dapo has pure confidence in the work she does, asking if I was okay, talking me through it and Loraine the dental nurse checking on me as well, talking to me about after care. In a league of their own. Thank you dental 397 x
22nd September 2017
Fantastic Dentist
This dental practice offers a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful premises, with ample parking which is refreshing in a city environment.Dapo has been my dentist for some time now and is very approachable, friendly, warm and thorough.
As a nervous patient Dapo has definitely calmed any fears I had prior to joining her practice.
I have always been happy with the treatment that I receive from Dapo and her team, first class x

Absolutely AMAZING
Lovely team, great care. Real attention to detail. I had a hygienist appointment, and I am over the moon with the results, it looks like I have new teeth. They check on you throughout your treatment to ensure that you are comfortable, and they really do care. Cannot believe I didn’t find out about this dentist until now! This is without a doubt the best dentist in the area and I will most definitely be back
11th August 2017
Sincere And Warm
Dapo's amazing dentistry skills, her caring, sincere warmth and cheerful personality, have changed a visit to the dentist from the traumatic experience it once was for me. It's obvious that dentistry is more than just a job to Dapo – it’s a vocation! So thank you so much to Dapo and all the lovely staff at Dental 397 who always go out of their way to make me feel welcome.
11th August 2017
Excellent care
My gums had been bleeding for years. Now they don't – thanks to excellent, holistic care from a genuinely caring dentist.
25th July 2017
Moved Mountains
The team moved heaven and earth to get me an emergency appointment. I saw Dapo who was utterly charming and, more importantly, calming.I am now a devoted fan/patient. I have some serious work to be done but I feel so safe and even optimistic for the first time in many years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this team. The reception staff couldn't do enough so what a wonderful welcome (a new experience I must say)
23rd July 2017
Much Priase
cannot praise 397 dental enough. As a very anxious patient I usually find dental treatment extremely unpleasant but the wonderful staff made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Dapo created such a safe and calm environment; it is the best dental experience I have had! Thank you.
12th July 2017
Best Experience Ever
The best experience I have ever had in a dental practice. Everyone in the practice is extremely kind, friendly and considerate. Very clean and a nice, calming environment, with lovely lovely staff. I have had three wisdom teeth removed with them recently and the dental practitioners always kept me informed about the process, made sure I was alright and were very understanding throughout my experience with them.
The service is organised and professional, very friendly, and I felt like I had a clear understanding of what procedures I needed and why, and really appreciated that clarity. I really can’t applaud them enough, they are so lovely and I can’t imagine my case could have been handled better. Big thank yous to these lovely people!
2nd June 2017

The Pain Has Gone
Its 10.30pm on Thursday night and I am working a late shift. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all. I have been in awful pain for over two months and within the space of less than 24 hours the pain has gone. The pain had been getting me down which is rather ironic as I was on pain killers that are anti-depressants.
The welcome I received from Lorraine was fantastic and very refreshing as my previous experience with front of house has been awful. Lorraine clearly knows that the first person a patient meets give the impression for the rest of the practice and Lorraine is a fantastic ambassador for Dental 397.
I was very impressed with Dapo, who made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout. The nurses were all very friendly and good decent folk. I found it a pleasure being in all of your company. Thank you so much for all your help I am genuinely deeply grateful.
10th May 2017

Dental 397 is such a welcoming and comfortable place! The staff are both professional and intentional! I went in with pain in my mouth and left without it because of their care! Definitely recommend!

21st April 2017
Anything To Drink?!
As soon as I walked in through the door at Dental 397, I was made to feel welcome. The practice manager/receptionist, Lorraine Shelley, who knew beforehand that I was nervous, was kind and reassuring; I couldn’t have asked for a more caring response to my extreme anxiety.
I was then introduced to Dr Aleksander Srokosz, who was amazing. He has a gentle and kind manner that instantly put me at ease. He explained everything thoroughly and gave me constant reassurance throughout my treatment. I had to have root canal on a wisdom tooth (it doesn’t get much worse than that), and I could not believe how painless it was.
After Aleks administered the local anaesthetic, I didn’t feel any of the subsequent work that he carried out on my tooth – I was impressed. I also couldn’t help but be impressed by how conscientious, meticulous and thorough Aleks was throughout my treatment. I felt safe in the care of such a highly skilled dentist.
The two dental nurses – Hannah Fay and Hannah-May Jones – were warm, caring and attentive and looked after me well during my two appointments – thank you!
I also met Dr Oladapo Olotu (the principal dentist at the practice) while I was there and she was lovely to me. I have to admit though, I was rather taken aback when Dr Olotu asked me on several occasions if I wanted anything to drink – most dentists would think this beneath them.
I have visited many dental practices over the years (having moved around a lot) and have never met such sincere and caring people. The number of times I have been disappointed, either because the dentist is not caring or patient with nervous individuals such as myself or the staff are unfriendly, have been numerous. So, to have finally found a dental practice in which everybody cares is truly wonderful. Thank you all at Dental 397, I feel fortunate to have found you.
Dr Olotu and Dr Srokosz at Dental 397 are happy to take the time to sit down and talk to their patients and do their best to help them through their fears. Surely, a hallmark of compassionate dentistry.
19th April 2017
I Enjoy the dentist!
I shouldn’t enjoy coming to the Dentist- but I do!! Such a fantastic team. Love Helen x
11th April 2017
Quality Care
The quality and care I receive at Dental 397 is beyond compare.From the cleanliness of the surgery to the caring professionalism of Dapo and her team, it is exceptional.It’s not just the high quality dental work using the latest technology and surgical instrumentation but the thoughtful little extras (often at no charge) which demonstrate just why this practice excels in customer care.
30th March 2017
Faith Restored
After having a dental trauma, I required quite extensive treatment. Aleks made me feel fully involved along the journey and explained every step thoroughly. He has restored my faith and increased my confidence when visiting the dentist. Every aspect of the experience was fantastic and my teeth are just awesome, so thank you!
24th March 2017
No words
I honestly don’t have enough words to describe my experience today. I am a 30 year old mother of one with A LOT of dental problems and the absolute biggest fear of the dentist. (I've always said I would rather relive my son's C-Section any day than to have any dentist come near me after a terrible experience I had as a teenager).
I came across this practice by accident when looking for a emergency dentist after the millionth sleepless night filled with toothache. I didn't know what to expect. A lot of dentists have turned me away because of my level of anxiety or forwarded me to have my dental work at hospital which i have never followed through due to me other biggest fear… being put to sleep. Today i had a troublesome tooth removed that has desperately been needed to be gone for YEARS!
This tooth… has been the crux of all my problems in recent years. Many dentists have told me it will only be possible to remove this tooth by oral surgery under a general anesthetic. So when I was told today that they were going to remove it I went into a full blown anxiety attack. Well, can I just say ... she did the most perfect job.
Oladapo is the first dentist to ever be able to get the job fully done because of her incredible ability to ease my anxiety and say all the right things to make me feel safe and confident in her hands. She has literally changed my life. I have no after pain. No swelling. And during the procedure every second I was expecting the worst only to find I had been met with the absolute best dental care I have ever experienced in my life.
She is thorough yet gentle and places great care on her patience giving you all the time you need with an incredible amount of patience. She showed great knowledge in health and made me realize and learn so much why I need certain work doing to my teeth. With great care and amazing work she removed my troublesome tooth (or what was left of it) with no problem at all, the tooth many dentists told me needed to be surgically removed and that I would need to be put to sleep for, she removed!!!!!!
And while she did I felt absolutely no pain, didn’t need stitches or surgical work and made me as comfortable as she possibly could. Once my anxiety eased I swear I could have fallen asleep while she did the work! This is the longest review i have ever left in my life but it is so deserved as this experience has changed my life. I cannot wait now (believe me i never thought i would see the day where i would say that) to have the rest of my teeth sorted out by her. I am actually excited. I cannot wait to be healthier, happier and PAIN FREE!
All thanks to Oladapo. The most incredible dentist i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And trust me, i am a tricky patient. Riddled with anxiety and terrible teeth. It says a lot coming from me 😉 as every dentist has only terrified me. Not Oladapo. Thank you SO MUCH. If dental angels exist… they exist here at Dental 397!
23rd March 2017
Excellent
I am always nervous when visiting a dentist but here everyone is very friendly and Dapo puts me at ease. She is an excellent dentist. Thanks to everyone
3rd March 2017
Really Happy!
I came in today for front teeth fillings and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received! All the staff are absolutely amazing. Aleks and Hannah were caring, gentle and made my dental experience perfect (if that’s possible), I’m so happy with my teeth and can’t thank all of you at dental 397 enough for giving me my smile back!
All staff are welcoming and nothing is ever to much trouble. I have recommended you to several people now and I will continue to do so. All of you together have given me my confidence back.
Lorraine was really great with talking me through the money side of things and answering all my many questions!
Please thank Aleks and Hannah for me as I can’t stop smiling!! And Aleks was just brilliant. Thank you all so much (a now dentist loving patient)

I have had a lot of work done over the years with Dental 397 and the service you receive is exceptionally.
Dapo is the most gentle and understanding dentist your likely to meet. Lorraine and Hannah are fantastic dental nurses with a very personal and understanding touch.
I have but only praise for the practice and it's staff. If you want exceptionally service with pain free treatment I urge you to come and visit Dental. Beautifully decorated and furnished with a personal touch, the practice will leave you feeling easy and ready for any treatment along with the caring and understanding staff.

pain free treatment and excellent results
Wow! I cannot recommend Oladapo Olotu highly enough. On-going dental issues with children, one very nervous, after a poor experience elsewhere, who now is very happy to visit!
We have had fillings, x rays, injections, abscess drainage, all with the utmost gentle, pain free treatment and excellent results, plus preventative advice. Recently Dapo fitted a Maryland/Front tooth with attached fake gum for my teenage son, his front tooth was knocked out. It looks unbelievable and completely real, took great patience, effort and skill to mould and fit this!
If in the future an implant is needed we will not be going anywhere else. Have recommended many friends, very good value. I often am not charged for quick drop in visits and appreciate the phone calls the next day to check that everything is OK.
8th February 2017
Good Things

Answered emails during christmas
Dental 397 is a fantastic dental practice. I had a wisdom tooth extracted by Dapo; the tooth was impacted which made the extraction difficult (it took 1 hour), and I was in pain for a few weeks afterwards. However, Dapo and her team were fantastic throughout the process; during the extraction itself she and Hannah (the dental nurse) made me feel relaxed and at ease, and in the immediate aftermath the careful explanation of what she had done and what I should do next was reassuring.
For the next few weeks (during the Christmas period) Dapo answered emails and saw me several times – including on Boxing day – to check up on me, give me advice on how to manage the pain, put in/take out stitches, and ease my worries. The gum has now completely healed and I am pain free. I cannot give enough praise to Dental 397, and thoroughly recommend them.
I live in London but travel down to Exeter (where my parents live) simply to use their services; I wouldn't go anywhere else for treatment. Thanks so much guys!

Cup of coffee
Starting with a warm welcome and a cup of coffee through a sensitive and thorough New Patient assessment I was continually reassured by Alex and Hannah that I was in the hands of professionals who cared for me as a patient.
I was provided with verbal and photographic information regarding my teeth and requirements going forward, and was given impartial advice regarding what procedures might be necessary or not; although the decision was left to me. To be highly recommended

excellent dental care
I have been with the Dental 397 practice for some time now and cannot recommend them highly enough. Dapo (Oladapo Olotu) who is my Dentist is excellent and explains everything she is going to do in a way that it is very reassuring and easy to understand.
All the Dental Nurses/Receptionists are very friendly and put you at ease when you are undergoing any treatment. The reception area is very welcoming and relaxing I would recommend Dental 397 to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Total trust
As I've grown older, I've become more and more terrified of going to the dentist but Dapo has cured that. I have total trust in her, she has a good manner with her patients and takes time and care. I had a crown last year that is a long procedure and I was absolutely fine and relaxed throughout! I never thought I’d be able to do that. Thank you

I'm A dentist myself and I choose dapo!
I am a dental surgeon myself and I met Dapo on a hands-on course two years ago, where we were practising composite restorations.
During that day I got to know her as a very sympathetic lovely person and a very skilled professional. Now I needed some dental treatment myself and I chose to get it done by Dapo.
I am very pleased with the results she was able to achieve for me and impressed by her skills and quality of care. I can highly recommend her and this practice.
Thank you 🙂

Infected Wisdom tooth!
After being in lots of pain with a wisdom tooth which had become infected I was thankful that I have a fantastic dental practice to call! I phoned at 8.30 and got an emergency appt at 11am. Alexander was absolutely fantastic and he made me feel so at ease. The dental nurse was lovely and very friendly. My tooth is healing nicely and I’m no longer scared of the dentist!!! Just wanted to say thank you for making me better before Christmas!!!

Aleks was absolutely amazing
This is by far the most caring, friendly and professional dentist surgery I have ever been to. I am a very nervous patient due to previous dental work. I saw Aleks and he was absolutely amazing. He was so caring and explained every step throughout the process. I could not believe the attention to detail my filling was both completely painless and looks just like a tooth. Aleks had taken great care to match the shade and pattern of my other teeth and the results are incredible. All the staff were so kind and i am so impressed with the service, I have already booked my follow up. I highly recommend Dental 397.

Gentle dentist
It is wonderful to come to a very gentle dentist and if you need antibiotics they are supplied so one doesn't have to go to a pharmacy.

I'm a nervous patient
I have been with Dental 397 for a while now. I originally joined because I'm a very nervous patient and they offered sedation, however this is no longer available and despite my anxiety I have remained with Dental 397. The time and patience they have with their patients is outstanding. They make me feel at ease and i can honestly say that i don't miss the sedation. They have changed my attitude towards visiting the dentist and all the dentists there are lovely including the dental nurses who also have empathy for nervous patients. Many people ask me why I don't go to NHS if I don't need sedation and I say to them that I stay with Dental 397 for the friendly welcome and superb dentistry. I would not hesitate to recommend Dental 397 to others, especially those that are anxious like me. I can't thank them enough.

complete professionalism
From the moment I arrived at the practice to the moment I departed after the whole treatment process (2 visits) I found nothing but complete professionalism by all involved with Dental 397. The atmosphere was totally relaxing and the dental treatment that i received was given in the most informative manner one could wish for. At all times I was educated on the whys and wherefores on what was going on and at no stage was I in any doubt on what was occurring. After both visits I received a phone call within 24 hours inquiring after my health and any after effects of the treatment.
I cannot give praise enough for the whole experience that I encountered with Dental 397, Dapo and the other members of the Team. I'm convinced that at one point on the main visit (3 hours treatment) I fell into a light sleep, I was that relaxed.
Total satisfaction from start to finish.

Going the extra mile
Thank you Dapo and your assistant for a wonderful and professional service. Dapo, thank you for your kindness and caring assistance. I am now confident, with my new smile, to look for employment next year and smile confidently at my son's wedding next October.
After my last treatment my car wouldn't start and the kind and helpful assistance of Lorraine calling on a friend to help me start my car was really going the extra mile. Thank you to a wonderful team!

My first choice of dental practice
I have been going to Dental 397 for the last 11 years and had extensive work done. To say I am fearful of dentists and change would be an understatement.
It took many appointments for me to get comfortable with the previous owner but would still get that knot in my stomach and shake constantly whilst sat in the chair. When I realised that the practice had changed hands I put off my appointment for as long as possible until I couldn't bear the pain any longer.
It's no exaggeration to say that I sat shaking and crying during the first appointment with Dapo but she did her best to put me at ease with her warm welcoming smile and friendly personality, expertise, honesty and absolute professionalism. I no longer put off my appointments and no longer get that horrid, tight knot in my stomach. It's obviously still not my first choice of place to hang out but Dapo and her practise are definitely my first choice of dental practice.
The waiting room is clean, bright, fresh and reminds me of a sitting room with comfy chairs, drinks and up to date magazines (not that there's ever time to read through them as appointments are always on time).
The staff are also warm and very welcoming. Lorraine the head nurse has been there for as long as I've been going and her calm and friendly nature help to keep me calm before heading into the chair.
I thoroughly recommend Dental 397 to everyone especially anyone that is as fearful as me of the whole experience not just being in the chair.

good and caring and gentle dentist
Walked into Dental 397 with toothache after a few days of pain and swelling. What a good and caring and gentle dentist. I had total confidence in her. Thank you to all the staff who were very informative, helpful and full of smiles.

best service I have EVER received from a dentist
First time I visited this practice was due to an emergency (broken tooth). Dapo saw me the same day it was so refreshing to receive a warm welcome when I arrived at the practice – she’s such a nice person and puts you instantly at ease.
I would recommend anyone to go to/switch to this practice. The premises are immaculate and you really can tell the team care about how it looks and the service they provide. Dapo as a dentist is very professional and gentle and so I would, without hesitation, also recommend her for anyone who is nervous of visiting a dentist for treatment.
By far the best service I have EVER received from a dentist and was so impressed I signed up to the practice before I left. More dental practices should take a leaf out of Dapo's book!
