I had an emergency situation with my Wisdom tooth. I was looking at a couple of months wait on the NHS even as an emergency. Lucky Harbour Surgery Sandbach every Wednesday have a top oral surgeon in clinic Dr Amit Kutecha. He took care of it. I didn't feel a thing I had oral surgery in the comfort of my own surgery with an expert surgeon. Two days later i was back at work and could get on with my life. Wish I had known sooner! Amazing service from start to finish.... (Show more)
Had Invisalign treatment with Abid, great guy so easy to talk to, He put me at ease straight away, really professional, great all around dentist, I would highly recommend Abid to everybody I know,he’s changed my life, my teeth look so much better, it has given me loads more confidence to feel comfortable smiling again....

From when I was a little girl I had to have quite a lot of dental work (apparently due to medication I was given as a baby which weakened my enamel) and I had to have a lot of teeth extracted as a child due to overcrowding - this made me into an incredibly anxious patient. I’ve been a patient at quite a few dental practices over the years, and my anxiety leading up to appointments was off the scale. Until last summer (2022) when I became a patient of Abid Iqbal at Harbour dental. My first appointment with him I was a nervous wreck when I had my checkup, I then had to book in for an extraction and turned up to that appointment with a stress ball and crying my eyes out. The patience and genuine care he showed me was incredible, he talked me through everything and settled my nerves. He’s now my regular dentist and I have also been on an Invisalign journey with him which I’m now almost at the end of (2 more sets of aligners to go!) I now turn up to my appointments with a big smile on my face, absolutely no anxiety at all anymore and leave feeling happy and relaxed - I actually look forward to my appointments now and that is something I never thought I would say! I can’t recommend him enough, and as dramatic as it sounds he has changed my life. I now have a big smile when I have photographs taken, when for the last 45 years I’ve tried to hide my smile on photos. I’ve got so much more confidence which everyone who knows me has noticed. All the staff at Harbour are incredible and extremely friendly, but Abid in particular deserves a big shout out. Thank you so much for everything, it’s so clear that this is so much more than a job to you, and I will be forever grateful.... (Show more)
Can't fault the clinicians, dentists or staff. Friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Great service. However decor upstairs is rustic at best. Stairs are worn and trip hazar-(metal edges are proud of carpeting) Seating area is not pleasant. Grubby, shabby , in need of clean paint and removable of old cables etc. Carpet worn and tired. Seating is very low so patients with mobility issues find them hard/impossible to use (me). In need of an overdue face lift/modernisation.... (Show more)
I went to harbour dental practice to get cosmetic work done to my front teeth I had an implant done a veneer and some composite edging along with some whitening, Savan was very thorough and all the staff made me feel at ease we achieved such a natural smile that I’m so happy with. The service is great a really friendly atmosphere and I can’t thank all of the staff enough for everything they have done. I literally cannot stop smiling and showing off my new smile... (Show more)
The whole team at Harbour Dental are great. They have really looked after me and always offer the very best service.
Called for an emergency appointment at 9.00am and was called back with an appointment for 12.00 - how brilliant is that? After examination the options were explained to me and preliminary work carried out to relieve the pain. Further appointments to complete the treatment made at the same time. I can't thank Harbour enough.... (Show more)
Avoid. Extremely poor service at reception, tried ringing multiple times with no answer just getting a answer machine, went down 3 people sat by the phone. One was very rude and smug, charged with a heavy bill 1 year and 6 months later after not being told of any other fees despite paying on the day in full for my treatment. Very poorly run during the pandemic. Times are hard at the moment and this was a joke to be charged nearly 2 years later... (Show more)
Consistently good, whether a check up or treatment. So glad to have such a wonderful dentist.. Name is Amar
Been a patient for several years and this is the best dental practice I have been to in my fifty-two years. Very professional and well run. My dentist, Rebecca, always makes sure I am comfortable and does a sterling job. Highly recommended.
Excellent care given to my 11 year old son by the dentist during his check up. He was referred to the hygienist who educated him on oral care. Both encounters have transformed his approach to brushing. Very personable and professional team.
Every one from the most junior new member of staff to "The Boss" was so pleasant they made my visit acceptable - this from an old guy who has spent a life time of being terrified of dentists
As a nervous patient, Nicola Turner was absolutely brilliant. As was Chloe, the nurse who's hand I squeezed to bits having my procedure!! Lovely kind staff here...I would highly recommended.
Absolutely fantastic treatment and support from the team. I cannot recommend Amar highly enough & the many nurses who have helped me. As a very nervous patient they have offered support & education with all my dental issues.
Chris Harbour is in my opinion the best dentist I have found in Sandbach. When I moved to the town I tried 4 dentists; Chris was by far the most competent. Kendra offers a fabulous hygienist service, love the airflow treatments, they make my teeth feel and look brand new :-)
Excellent Dentist and assistant, make you feel relaxed and always give good advice on all aspects of the procedure that I had, would I recommend Harbour, Most definitely.
Been with Dr Harbour for years and not only is he really good at his job you feel like you can trust his advice. The reception staff and dental nurses are also very professional and helpful. This review is based on my experience with Dr Harbour, I have no idea how the others are. Only thing I could suggest is the place needs modernising.... (Show more)
Absolutely appalling service. I have been a patient of Harbour dental practice for about 20 years. I telephoned them yesterday as I have an abscess on one of my wisdom teeth. I was told I had not used the practise recently and so I had been deregistered, but the lady took all of my details again and said there were no appointments for five days, so I took the appointment offered despite being in a lot of pain. During the course of yesterday and overnight the pain increased and it was difficult to open my mouth due to the swelling and so this morning I telephoned Harbour dental practice to see if there was anything they could do for me. The young girl said that next week was still the earliest they could get me in, and said this would be for a consultation to reregister and then after that an appointment could be made with a dentist. I asked why was I not told this 24 hours earlier, and if I had of been I would have sought an alternative dentist due to the amount of pain that I am in. I also asked that why if I had been deregistered as a patient they not notify me instead of leaving me wrongly thinking I had a dentist. The young girl demonstrated no empathy care or consideration for my situation, she was very abrupt and she might aswell of said, not our problem we don't care. What an absolute shame, it used to be a lovely caring practise but not now. I have read all of the reviews on the Internet and listened today to other people in Sandbach and the dreadful experiences of Harbour dental practice. Thank you so much Harbour dental practice for the appalling service and leaving me in absolute agony and desperately trying to now find a dentist.... (Show more)
Best dental practice I've been a customer of - a full suite of services, well run & usually the appointments run on-time.
Both my sons (11& 15) have been patients at Harbour from being toddlers. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Nicola is superb. My husband & I are patients too (with Becky) and have always been extremely pleased with the dental care we have received.
