Finally found a dentist who can see me when I need them as my own dentist didn't seem to really care.Staff are great, friendly and made me feel very welcome. Lighthouse is most definitely the cleanest, brightest and welcoming dentist ive been too.Like most of us I dread the dentist, I get very anxious but Dr Tocca made me feel very comfortable, took the time to ease my worries and thoroughly talked me through everything and explained what the x-rays meant in detail.No longer afraid of the scary dentist :)Simon of Ash Electrical Suffolk Ltd.

A truly amazing experience from start to quick succession. My dentists were clear, empathetic and explained everything extremely thoroughly. Within a matter of days I had had x-rays and had the problematic tooth removed gently and without any residule pain or throughout. The reception staff were caring, sweet and very helpful. Within 3 days everything was done and I'm finally pain free. Thank you to all involved. Perfection from each and every one. Very much recommend!

The team are so friendly and helpful. From the reception team who always do their best to make sure to accommodate requests as well as their amazing dental team who answer every question you have and take great care of you. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I was fortunate in choosing the Lighthouse practice. My previous dentists was National Heath, but they decided to go private and offered to have me as a patient. Given their desire to make more money from me and the fact that they weren’t very good anyway, I decided to look elsewhere. Choosing the Light House practice was the best thing I did.I recently lost my Sister and the practice were very considerate and understanding. I cancelled my appointments many times, once at the last minute.I would recommend the Lighthouse practice to anyone looking for a good professional dentist.

I had a great experience with lighthouse Dental Practice, highly recommend. Dr Tocca is nice and professional. He explained everything throughout the appointment, answered all my questions, as well as gave me good recommendations to maintain a healthy dental care, which is an area I was not confident about. The staff ( receptionist and dental nurse/assistant) are also nice, informative and professional as well.

As an extremely nervous patient, I would highly recommend the lighthouse dental practice.Dr Tocca was extremely patient and understanding. In terms of my anxiety, he explained everything thoroughly, and was happy to spend time giving options and reassurance.I am extremely pleased with the results of my dental work and feel more confident walking into the dentist now.All staff in the practice are friendly and helpful, and it’s a generally a clean and welcoming environment.The one downside of this practice is that I have never been seen on time, I have on occasion waited up to 20 minutes over my appointment time. However I have never been seen on time in any dental practice that I have ever been to. I do not hold this against them at all and would still highly recommend.

Recently had my first crown. Having never had one before, I was slightly anxious at the thought of root canal treatment! Paul Davies was brilliant. Explained everything thoroughly, went through different options with me. The whole process was totally painless.Have also seen Dr Tocca and Kate (my regular dentist) both excellent, as are the reception staff and Treatment Coordinator.Would absolutely recommend Lighthouse.

Reception staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr Tocca is great, explains the process really well and did a great wisdom tooth extraction which has healed well. Roberta is a great hygienist and was really helpful in explaining how to improve my dental health.My daughter has sensory issues and usually struggles to even sit in the dentist’s chair. Their dentist Leah Plummer put her at ease and explained the process to her to help with her anxiety and was able to get my daughter to have a full examination and fluoride paste applied. Thank you so much!

I booked an emergency treatment appointment having had tooth for a few days and unable to get an appointment with my regular practice. I have to say the service was amazing, I'm not the best at the dentist but I can not rate Lighthouse Practice highly enough. They put me at ease, were mindful of how I was feeling and reassured me at all times. It was a tricky extraction I had to have and thank Mark Davis for his persistence and time. He even took the time to call me later in the day to check how I was getting on. 5 Star service and thank you.

It was quite wonderful experience! As I entered the clinic I was terribly scared and highly pressed. Because I’m very pain sensitive guy. The dentist is so nice and professional, he calmed me down and friendly answered my foolish questions. During the time I didn’t feel any pain! It’s an amazing place! Very nice group well trained and professional staffs: not only the dentist as well as the Receptionist and Cooperator.

For someone who is a nervous patient this practice is excellent, giving me confidence to keep going for regular appointments. Dr Tocca is highly recommended for his care and expertise when any dental treatment is needed, as is Angela Leech for her approach to dental hygiene. Can’t thank them enough for their professionalism.

What a wonderful practice - after years of mediocre service at my previous dentist The Lighthouse Practice has sorted all my teeth issues painlessly and efficiently with such good humour and kindness. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. My sincere thanks to the whole team but particularly to Angela who has taught me how to look after them properly in between visits. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you all and thank you thank you. 🙃 Jackie Nayler 🐖🐖🐖

By far the best dentist I have ever been to. Right from walking into the practice all of the staff show great care and you know they will do their best to help you. Receptionists are friendly, informative and are always communicating with you about appointments. The nurses pay attention to what is going on, reassuring when needed and making you as comfortable as possible. Dr Tocca has been incredible. I would previously have 1 or 2 appointments at previous dentists and then leave due to them rushing through appointments, lack of care and overall feeling very uncomfortable in the room. Dr Tocca is patient, caring and humorous, making you feel completely at ease. Honestly cannot recommend them enough!

I cannot recommend The Lighthouse Dental Practice highly enough. Due to a broken bridge and other issues I was in dire need of treatment.Dr Mark Davis and the team fully explained the procedures and costings after an initial consultation,and with my agreement the work began.Several appointments later I now have an excellent partial denture and can smile again.The care given during, and after,each stage was first class.I would like to send a big thank you to all concerned.
