We have been with Trafalgar Dental Practice for a few years now. After moving away from our dentist local to us, due to retirement, we found it daunting trying to get that trust and bond with another Dentist and went through a few before coming to Dr Sharma and Dr Asopa. They are truly a family dentist right down to the receptionist, Taylor, who treats you so well being friendly and caring. The dentistry care is thorough and professional and communication is excellent with customer after care above and beyond. We feel we have found our true family dentist who will take care of us and our teeth. Thank you to the team.

Immaculately presented premises with a modern fresh appearance. Greeted by a smiling receptionist and asked to take a (comfortable) seat while waiting for Leena Asopa the dentist assigned to my case as I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment. Leena listened sympathetically when I recounted my poor past experience with various dentists. She her examination was very detailed. I was impressed.

Excellent all round , had to say 4 as the waiting room was particularly warm when I entered. Besides that , the team presented me with the most enjoyable dental appointment I have ever had.

Mr Sharma was charming, reassuring and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Taylor on reception is also lovely, she made me feel very welcome and calm.

I can not recommend Dr.Sharma, his wife and their whole team, highly enough. They fitted me in immediately and performed an urgent, difficult extraction with great professional care and expertise. The after care was also second to none. In these times of lack of dentists and dental care in Cornwall I cannot suggest any where better than Trafalgar House Dental Practise.

This is the best possible dentist's practice. I am very nervous in the dentist's but Mrs Asopa is so kind and so skilled that I manage to keep my nerves under control. I recommend the practice heartily.

My experience with my new dentist Dr. Anurag Sharma was fantastic! Throughout the entire appointment I felt at ease and the whole experience was brilliant and educational. After many years of feeling afraid and nervous I have found great comfort and expertise. All of the staff were kind and friendly. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful practice, my first visit to THD with my 3 year old today for his first check-up. The dentist Anurag Sharma was very polite, friendly & informative. Very patient with my son and really cared about making the experience a positive one. The receptionist and the dental nurse were also both very friendly & welcoming. Would recommend this lovely practice to anyone!

A really lovely dental practice - from Taylor the very friendly receptionist, to Mr Sharma who takes time to discuss options and gives advice, everything is done with care and consideration in a calm and unhurried way. Having a spinal problem and now arthritis this is the only dentist
i ve ever seen that makes sure I m comfortable on the chair. Definitely recommend!

Trafalgar house is a lovely dental practice, with great staff members that are very helpful and friendly. Anurag always explains the work he will be carrying out thoroughly, and in layman’s terms. I highly recommend anyone to join Trafalgar House Dental Practice 😊

I had my first work done with Dr Anurag on Friday, I know nobody likes the dentist but I was comfortable and they were constantly checking in that I was okay during getting fillings which isn't the most fun thing in the world! They kept me in the loop and made sure I was okay☺️ Very happy with my care and can't fault anything 😊

I have just reached the end of a long and fairly extensive course of treatment, involving perhaps a dozen appointments over the course of a year. The service I received was excellent throughout - friendly, caring, open, honest and (unexpectedly) almost completely painless! I am in my late 60s and this is by far the best experience I have had with dentistry.

There are no words to describe the exceptional care, kindness, and empathy we experienced at Trafalgar House. My son had an accident, losing most of one of his front teeth, and our regular dental practice wouldn't see him.

Desperate for help, we walked into this practice without an appointment and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and understanding by Taylor at the reception desk and Dr. Asopa. They could see how upset I was and after looking at my son’s tooth, understood the urgency of the situation. Dr. Asopa took the time to speak with us, patiently calming me down and offering reassurance.

Dr. Sharma and his dental nurse, Ivy, then went above and beyond to provide my son with the immediate treatment he needed. They carefully explained every step of the procedure, ensuring we were comfortable and fully informed. Their kind, patient, and compassionate approach eased my son’s fears and gave us confidence that he was in the best possible hands.

Once back home, I even received a follow up phone call from Taylor at Dr. Sharma's request to check how Alfie was before they closed for the weekend.

After the initial treatment we had a short wait to confirm there was no immediate infection in the exposed nerve. We then returned to the practice while Dr. Sharma skillfully reattached the remaining portion of the tooth with the same care and attention to detail as before.

My son now has his beautiful smile back!

Dr. Sharma is an incredibly talented, patient, and warm dentist who went out of his way to ensure my son felt at ease throughout the entire process. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care are unmatched and nothing was ever too much trouble for him or his team.

I cannot thank everyone at Trafalgar House enough for not only taking such good care of my son but for being so welcoming and kind when we needed it the most.

This practice is truly amazing!

I recently attended Trafalgar House Dental Practice, at short notice due to being in pain.
From the moment I entered the practice I felt relaxed and at ease due to the lovely reception area and the warm welcome I received from the team.
I was seen by Leena and she was extremely helpful and professional throughout.

Charlotte Fairley

I visited Trafalgar House Dental Practice as I needed an emergency appointment. They got me in within 24 hours of emailing. They have an extremely friendly and helpful receptionist, Taylor, and the dentist I saw, Leena, was incredible, as was her assistant. As a nervous patient she put my mind at rest and was very informative and took her time to explain things thoroughly. Would highly recommend!!

I had not been to the dentist for over 10 years, I knew I needed work but never had pain and always put it off, however I started to have pain and was seen as an emergency the same day. There was no stigma or disrespect for not seeing a dentist for so long, I was treated swiftly for the pain and then a treatment plan discussed as multiple fillings and work needed, the whole team are professional, welcoming and caring. Each procedure is discussed and and there is no pressure to have treatments. I have since taken out the monthly plan which has helped with costs and I know going forwards my dental health will be much improved. Can highly recommend!

Both my husband and I were extremely impressed with the time and care Dr Sharma showed to us both on our first dental appointment. Explaining more to us than any other dentist has ever done and in a very relaxed atmosphere. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful too. Would highly recommend Trafalgar House Dental practice to anyone.

Elizabeth Purdy

Dr Sharma is undoubtedly the best dentist I’ve seen. The treatment I have received has been excellent and he takes time to fully explain the X-rays he’s taken, giving advice about any future treatment needed.
Advice about ongoing care of my teeth has also been first class. Highly recommended.

Martin Hunt

Anurag is a very experienced and friendly dentist who was highly recommended to me by a family member. I have now seen him for a root canal job, an extraction, a tooth reconstruction and a clean. He is professional in the extreme and puts a lot of effort into telling you what he is doing - and why. He also makes you feel comfortable and gives good advice on dental hygiene. Ten out of ten.

I had an amazing experience with Dr Anurag and his team. They sorted my abscess out on a very short notice and they called me in the day after I put in a query online. Dr Anurag and his team put you at ease especially if you are a bit nervous to go to a dentist like me. Very professional and definitely my go to Dental practice in Cornwall. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thank you so much.

I am a very nervous and anxious patient and was therefore not looking forward to my tooth extraction. I need not have worried because Leena and her assistant Emma put me at ease straight away. Leena took her time with me and did not rush at all, she was amazing and I didn't feel a thing. Taylor on reception also put me at ease as soon as I walked in. I would definitely recommend this practice

I am very happy with my treatment at Trafalgar House Dental practice. Leena and her team are brilliant. Procedures all explained and discussed with you before and after . You are given time to ask questions if needed and not rushed. Treatment plans with costs included so you know what you have to pay ,so no nasty shocks ! Post treatment you get a follow up phone call from the lovely Taylor to check you are ok. Would definitely recommend this practice ,a lovely team. Well done.
