What can I say! My daughter needed a filling and suffers from chronic anxiety. Tim and Nicole guided her through the treatment taking great care and consideration to ensure she was calm and was able to complete the treatment. She was so happy with them and the work done pain free ( for both my daughter and staff!) Truly amazing. It meant a lot to me with the care taken . should have 6 stars!... (Show more)
Without a doubt the best dentist I have ever attended, not cheap but always good.
I was looking for a dentist after mine (my own dad) retired last year. I chose Barker's as their preventive dentistry philosophy aligned well with my dad's style of dentistry. I had my first appointment this morning with Laura and was really impressed. Laura is so friendly, yet professional and thorough. Very happy with my choice so far.... (Show more)
I have been using this dental surgery for many years now and have always found the staff friendly. I had an appointment yesterday and once again I was greeted warmly by the reception staff. The dentist , Laura, was very good and although I only had a check-up and clean, explained everything and was very professional. I would highly recommend this dental surgery.
As much as I don't personally enjoy a dental visit, but who does, I feel perfectly relaxed with both the dentist and hygienist. I would highly recommend this practice for nervous patients.
Recently had Invisalign retainers and Tim and the team were fantastic throughout the whole process, very professional and always kept me at ease. I also had some composite done and was blown away by the results, many thanks to the team for giving me confidence in my smile!
Prior to coming to the care of Barker Dental I had endured the constant discomfort and often the pain of gum disease . Since beginning treatment and the sedulous care and attention of Tim and his highly able hygienist the disease has been arrested thus vastly improving my quality of life. I now follow simple and effective guidelines which I am confident will preserve the longevity of my dental health and am extremely pleased with the support I have been given.... (Show more)
As a very nervous, and chronically ill, patient who uses a wheelchair I can say that this is the best dental practice I've used since Stephen Green retired. I've seen both Reena Irvinn and Tim Barker and both have impressed me with their care, compassion and understanding of both my illness/disability and my anxiety. staff have made me feel welcome and comfortable. The surgery could do with a slightly wider wheelchair access as the turning space is tight, but they very much make up for this by being geniunely helpful. Reception staff have been quick to aid us on arrival and on leaving without showing an ounce of irritation. I've learned this is rare to see when you are a wheelchair user! Prices have been reasonable and service exceptional.... (Show more)
Tim and his team are amazing. They really put you at ease and explains everything a calm manor, extremely professional. on my last follow up there are a small area of decay on a wisdom tooth that was treated with a filling which a painless procedure. They really do help calm those dental nerves. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!!!... (Show more)
Very positive experience. Had 3 implants which of course were expensive but the final result is worth it. Necessitated going to Newbury for the surgical procedures but the treatment there was very thorough & they gave me the confidence to go ahead. Both dental practices coped well,& safely with Covid restrictions & I'm pleased with the results

Excellent service from Tim and the whole team, I could not recommended enough! I explained that I may have a time constraint and Tim was extremely accomodating and booked me in within days of my initial consultation. I completed fastbraces treatment and am very happy with the result!
Amazing! I can't recommend this dentist enough. Tim rebuilt my broken tooth from nothing to what looks like my natural tooth. The professionalism and calmness of the team put me at ease and has rebuilt my confidence in visiting the dentist. Thank you so much.
I recently completed my treatment for fast braces and highly recommend Barker Dental Care. Tim and his team were incredible. The outcome of my teeth straightening exceeded my expectations!
We moved to this practice has been at the previous one for 30 years. It was a recommendation and I have to say we have not been disappointed. The service is second to none. Friendly staff who make you feel like you are their only client. We signed up for a payment plan which is of excellent value. I have had three check-ups and three hygienist visits all have been excellently talked through and treatment explained. I felt like it was about me rather than about a business. Wonderful Practice.... (Show more)
I would like to say a massive thank you to Barker Dental Care for the excellent service in resolving my terrible tooth pain, especially during the challenging circumstances of the current Covid-19 pandemic. Tim Barker and Amy have provided a caring, dedicated and professional service providing telephone support and guidance during this unprecedented time. I had an emergency appointment as soon as permitted, and Tim carried out a thorough examination of the area of pain. Tim explained that my pain was potentially caused by a ‘sprained’ tooth ligament, which can be aggravated by grinding and jaw clenching during sleep. He suggested fitting a bite guard or sleep clench inhibitor (SCI), which he made and fitted straight away. The result has been amazing, my pain had eased within 24 hours and after a couple of days had completely gone! I am so pleased and relieved to be pain free!! I would highly recommend Barker Dental Care, registered here for 30 years or so. All the staff are welcoming and friendly, the surgery is clean, bright and airy and the practice has put in place the necessary Covid-19 safety procedures.... (Show more)
Many many thanks to Jacqui (Hygenist) and Barker Dentists. I suffered from quite bad gum disease (with bleeding) for some years. Jacqui has done an awesome job with the Antibiotics deep clean (plus no anaesthetics needed due to her amazing skills and careful touch). I now had a re-visit with Dr Tim Barker and have no bleeding and a 100% turn round. Gone from 4+ to 0,1 and the odd 2.. so so pleased. Thanks you so much Jacqui.. see you in three months. 👏👏👏....

I never thought I would have straight teeth but after completing my fastbraces treatment with Dr Tim I am delighted with the result. Perfectly straight teeth! Throughout the process, Dr Tim was patient, informative and so accommodating especially through the challenging lockdown period. For anyone that is hesitating, go for it as you will not regret the result!... (Show more)
Recently received treatment for Fast Braces and have been absolutely delighted with the outcome! In only a matter of months, I now have beautifully straight teeth. Great support and service received from Tim and his team throughout - would thoroughly recommend.
Allways a pleasure to visit as you know you will be treated well by all the team. Have been visiting for over 15 years and never had a bad experience. Tim's work is second to none and I could not recommend him highly enough!
