Preventive Dentistry
Tooth Decay and Gum Disease are the two biggest issues faced by patients. Despite them being relatively easy to manage through good oral hygiene, they are the most common causes of tooth loss.
Teeth are constantly exposed to a build-up of substances throughout the day. This build-up forms on teeth as plaque, a substance which not only harbours bacteria but also produces acid which can damage tooth structure. There is also a link between increased oral bacteria and other serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Even the best brushing and flossing routines cannot eliminate all traces of plaque. Left on your teeth, plaque becomes hard tartar, which cannot be brushed off. This then traps more plaque and the cycle repeats, causing gum disease and frequently bad breath. Combined with a good oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing twice a day, regular trips to the hygienist in between dental appointments are the best way of ensuring that your teeth stay healthy and strong.

Our Patient Reviews
The dentist and her mate was really nice made me feel comfortable and was really helpful
I've been using Heralds Way for years. The staff and dentists are nice and helpful and above all friendly. Its always clean and tidy and a pleasant clinic, always has been. Would always recommend to others, thank you for years of good service.
Had my first visit to Heralds Way Dental Clinic in South Woodham Ferrers, and I was very impressed, the clinic itself is very clean and well maintained, the receptionists are really friendly and polite and Ifrah Ali is a lovely dentist, very friendly and professional, her dental nurse was very lovely too. Thank you for making it a pleasant experience 😊
I had an appointment for me and my kids and Dr Ifrah was so good and so helpful.Appointment was very quick and I loved attendingthe appointment.I am very satisfied with their services.
MALIHA ALI. Could see I was very nervous, I had a cracked tooth, MALIHA made me feel very comfortable, herself & the dental nurse were very kind & patient with me. Would highly recommended, Heralds Way Dental practice.Bonus, tooth was fixed straight away.
Excellent. This was my first appointment with this dentist. I decided to change dentists after 26 years with the previous one which was quite a distance from where I have lived for the last 22 years. This surgery is local to me.Maliha was very thorough and she along with her assistant Mellisa were both very nice people to meet.Thank you for a pleasant experience.
I was absolutly terrified of dental visits ,that was until i was refered to Simran. Simran is the most wonderful amazing person /dentist ever . My fear of dental visits have now completely vanished all thanks to lovely Simran.
I am a new patient to this dental clinic and so far I have been so impressed with the service I have received. I have so far, seen the Dentist, Dr Ali, twice and the Hygienist for one visit. All the members of staff, are so polite and welcoming. The Hygienist took her time and explained everything to me and how to keep my teeth clean and plaque free. During my check up visit with Dr Ali today, he was so kind to me, as he helped me with an issue I had with my front tooth, where there was a chip out of it and he solved the problem immediately and took time to give me some much needed advice. I didn't feel at all rushed and he has restored my confidence. I will certainly be booking another appointment for some teeth whitening treatment soon. Thanks to all.Linda
My appointments always go smoothly at Herald Way. The receptionists are lovely and my dentist is a great communicator and always put me at ease. My hygienist, Cara, is very reassuring and does a thorough job of cleaning my teeth. Fantastic service all round!
Appointment on time very friendly professional service would highly recommend
Fayaaz and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I am about to begin my Invisalign journey and so far he has made the process seamless. Fayaaz was able to answer all of my questions and concerns. We spent a long time together discussing different options and I have no doubt I am in good hands as his expertise was clear. The practice itself is also very clean, modern and appealing and is always a pleasure to visit.
Would highly recommendFayaaz and his team was extremely good and made me feel at ease
I needed an urgent appointment. The receptionist managed to get me an appointment the same day . Which was really appreciated. The receptionist and the dentists are so friendly and make you feel at ease
Sad to say goodbye to Cathy, she has sorted my gums to the best they can be.
Very positive experience as usual and I'm genuinely terrified of the dentists. It was easy to get an appointment, friendly reception staff, I was seen Very quickly. My dentist (Simmi) is excellent, she really understands nervous patients, hope I die before she retires (I'm 64 and she's quite young, so I'm not suicidal) as I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Jazz was extremely pleasant and professional.My wife and I are extremely impressed with the staff and the surgery
I have a major phobia of the dentists but Heralds way always do their best to look after me and help me cope with the fear in a very sympathetic manner, can't recommend them enough
Excellent in every way. Quick urgent appointment, work carried out efficiently. Help with stair lift was so quick.
I would have given full marks for help and service but I need a lot of stuff done but my fault
Just had an appointment with Saqib Ali & Esme, I’m not a confident patient but they really put me at ease, a filling with no injection! My smile is even wider now - thank you both so much 😊
Being a nervous patient, I was given lots of encouragement throughout my visit. At each step I was told what was being done. All this helped me to relax more whilst treatment was done.
Such a gentle hygienist, Cara was amazing. So much so that I booked my next one already which is a first.
I was under the care of Has for Invisalign from Aug 23-Apr 24 and cannot recommend him enough. I'm so happy with the results and Has is great at talking you through what is possible and supporting throughout.
Thank you to Dr Sai Vivek Maneesh. Extremely efficient extract of my tooth. I found him and his dental nurse to be a delight
I recently had to have a double tooth removed from the very back of my jaw. I didn’t have a dentist at the surgery but when I said I was having toothache they got me in very quickly. I am terrified of needles but Dr Kassam managed to numb my mouth without me feeling a thing, I didn’t even feel the needle go in, I was amazed. Same with the extraction, no pain at all. Thanks Dr Kassam for making it a painless experience and thank you to the lovely ladies on reception for being so friendly and helpful.
Always had a good experience (if you can call it that going to the dentist) and found all the staff very helpful (especially Sharon) very good practice.
Simran was so lovely and understanding of my concerns. Hadn't been for a while, but was very glad I made the appointment. Treatment could not have been better. Thank you Heralds Way Dental Clinic.
After a nervous wait in the waiting room, I was soon put at ease, friendly dentist & dental nurse, I was offered a stress ball to distract me which helped
Staff are always helpful and friendly. Make the whole experience easy and stress free.
Brilliant service and very helpful and caring dentist. Totally recommend this practice.
Because of my previous experience of going to the dentist I lacked confidence and trust and I had not returned for treatment. Consequently I and was no longer registered with a dentist surgery and urgent treatment was needed.After months of trying, I was eventually able to make an appointment at Heralds Way. I was apprehensive, because I usually find going to the dentist an unpleasant experience, and on this occasion I also anticipated extensive work being needed. This is because I had been told by my previous dentist (at a different surgery) that treatment for my tooth was complex and would cost about £1,800.I was seen by Jasreet Sagoo, at Heralds Way, and her warm welcome and relaxed approach immediately reassured me. After examination, she advised that the major work I had been recommended was, in her opinion, a last result, and she felt that it was not necessary at this time. Instead, Jasreet recommended filling the tooth, and I felt completely confident in her judgement. All my previous concerns were unfounded, and for the first time in memory, when going to the dentist, I felt reassured and relaxed! I feel huge relief that the dental work needed is finally being completed, and even more, because I finally have found a dentist who I feel comfortable with, and completely trust and have confidence in. My faith is restored! I never thought I would be able to say that going to the dentist is a positive experience - so thank you Jasreet Sagoo, and Heralds Way Dental Clinic. I will be back!!
Warm friendly reception and professional, approachable staff. I came away with confidence.
This may be a good dentist - I don't know. But their records keeping in terms of email addresses and their response to feedback sucks!
Went for routine check up with Simmy. All ok - called in promptly. Dentist is friendly and understanding as I have difficulty walking and trouble with hearing.
Had an issue with a tooth filling, phoned the Clinic and was greeted with some friendly advice and was given an appointment on the same day. On Arrival I was asked to sign the relevant forms .Was seen by Jaspreet Sagoo on time, and after examining my tooth advised me that the filling needed replacing.All work on my tooth was carried out in A VERY Professional Manner and Overall an EXCELLENT DENTAL EXPERIENCE from ALL STAFF CONCERNED.
Always good from arrival to examination, everyone makes you feel relaxed and all very friendly thank you.
I'm personally not a fan of the dentist and hadn't been in nearly 8 years. I started slowly with invisalign and have finally built up to a checkup. Faayaaz, Cathy and the team have been amazing, havinng always reassured me and discussed all options available.I also have a rare blood disorder, which they've gone over and above to be accommodating for. Could not recommend this surgery enough! I now love my smile even more.
Absolutely First Class service; the attention to detail regarding the Covid 19 health guidelines was exceptional. Felt extremely safe there - but I always do.
Dr. Hassan Abbas is a very personable, professional Dentist. The dental nurses are lovely. Very quick and efficient where possible, too.A very good service all round.
Hav been a few times past months to Heralds Way Clinic. My Dentist has been very attentive, helpful & explained in detail my options going Fwd..I wld Recommend using this clinic. 😃
Very helpful and welcoming practice, never rushed and always professional.
I was really please, I was listened to and got my problem sorted out quickly and without hassle. Very happy thank you.
Our dentist Simran is really lovely, took my son for his first dentist appointment today and she was really kind and made him feel at ease. Made the whole experience so much eaiser than I thought it may be.
Brilliant practise everyone is so nice from booking in to checking out. always gives great advise i hate going but once i'v been i feel good. i would highly recommend this dentist to anyone. 12 out of 10 !!!
A trip to the dentist is never an appealing thought; but the whole experience at Heralds Way was fantastic. From the ease of completing forms online to the warm welcome and the excellent examination were all truly appreciated and made me feel at ease. Well done to the whole team for making the experience so relaxing.Jan-24 Update: The customer service and dental clinicians are all fantastic. I cannot give enough praise for this dentist practice; each & everyone of the staff are superb.
This was an extra appointment as one of my molars had fractured. There was a warm welcome by the staff. The dentist was thorough, professional, amenable and sorted out the problem..
Excellent service as always. Everything explained clearly. I cannot recommend my dentist highly enough. A visit involves a 100 mile round trip for me but absolutely worth it.
Always good experience make you feel completely at ease highly recommended
All the staff are very helpful, cheerful, and reassuring making a visit to the dentist less daunting
Routine appointment with Dental Hygienist Louise W.Warm welcome from Reception on arrival and sat in the smart waiting room. As I had filled in the routine status forms online in advance only a short wait before being called.Louise gets to know you as a person and not a patient number. She readily advises on the condition of your teeth and what needs to be done. She also listens to your concerns and addresses them with considered response.I left the practice with beautifully cleaned, shiny teeth and a calm state of mind.Would I recommend? Without hesitation!
Can’t thank them enough for the treatment provided. Kindness and professionalism was exemplary.
My dentist Simran Rattan is so patient and amazing with me. I’m quite a nervous patient and she goes the extra mile to really reassure me and talk me through it. Makes going to the dentist so much easier. Highly recommended and such a good dentist!
First time seeing Sai Mehta .Totally charming and very knowledgeable. Explained everything clearly and engaged me in discussions regarding my treatment plan with patience and understanding.
I am always pleased with my visit such a good dentist would recommend . Had a new dentist today and she was excellent. Very good indeed 👍.
Great check-up with Simi which only took 5 minutes.£25 seems a lot of money now that I am a pensioner but would be worth it if free cleaning was reinstated as tartar builds up even with electric toothbrush. Stopped during Covid but not sure why?
Wonderful, my son has autism & she was so good with him. Resulting in a very calm check up.
Was shocked to be quoted £1499 to sort out my problem so will be looking elsewhere
We are very happy with the service you provide, thank you. Long may it continue!
I booked an appointment with Cathy before my wedding day for stain removal, and I couldn’t be happier, me teeth came out amazing! And made me wedding photos come out perfect! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
Jaspreet was very professional and thorough during my check-up with good customer service. Advice was clear and easy to follow.
Receptionist polite, dentist explained everything clearly, good experience.
This is a wonderful dentists. I get very stressed and nervous. I feel very safe there. The staff are wonderful, right from the receptionists to the dentist herself.
Very friendly reception staff who are very helpful and efficient and provide a great service. The dentist I saw was very helpful and professional with the treatment I had and was very informative and put me at ease.
Dental treatment was great. Staff were fantastic as have to use stairlift and very kind to me.
Jaspreet Sagoo is a great dentist and the reception staff are always lovely, 10/10
Tooth extraction went really well. I was very nervous but Simi was v helped me to relax. Caring and professional.
This is the first time I have been at Hearlds way dentist to see the hygienist Cara. Cara was absolutely lovely very gentle & made me feel very relaxed.
For my little girl they have been amazing and so professional. They knew she was anxious and they have been extremely careful and they did explain to her every step. Even for extray they took the time. Really greatfull.
I am terrified of the dentists which is why I left it so long before going back as I was in considerable pain. My dentist was excellent and very calming and kind. I had a tooth extracted and a filing and left pain free. I will definitely make sure I come back regularly from now on.
I recently finished my treatment plan with Invisalign.Everyone in the practice has been wonderful. Lovely ladies on reception are always so helpful.Kathy the hygienist is so gentle and thorough, my mouth feels super clean afterwards.Fayaaz and Jade work great together, they both have been amazing and Fayaaz has gone above and beyond.Very very pleased with the final results, thank youHelen Williams
I received the usual calm, friendly and capable treatment from my dentist. I said I was feeling a little apprehensive not having experienced this treatment before and she was most understanding, explaining everything she was doing and constantly checking that I was alright. First class service.
I very recently had an extraction that was replaced with a single denture. I needed the extraction to remove an unsightly tooth ruining my smile for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The entire event through consultation to withdrawal was made stress free by Dr Sai Maneesh and his wonderful team (including all the receptionists). All done in plenty of time for the event. Thank you so much
I phoned the clinic and the receptionist was very helpful. Arriving at the clinic again the receptionist was very welcoming. The dentist was great and made the whole visit very comfortable. Overall 5 stars. Thank you Heralds Way Dental Clinic.

Just as you should visit your dentist twice a year, you should also aim to visit your hygienist every six months, unless directed otherwise.
