The whole interaction with the staff and the service provided to us as a whole family was fantastic, cannot fault them at all! Wonderfully friendly staff to greet us, lovely environment in the practice all round, good coffee and the care and attention my daughter received was incredible! Thank you for making what could have been a very scary experience for her, so lovely!

By far the best dentist I've been to, and I've been to a lot more than I'd like.I lost a tooth when I was a child and for various reasons couldn't get an implant done until I was in my late twenties, by which time several surgeries were required to get things back in shape. AJ, Sarah, Malissa (and others whose names I didn't catch, apologies) have been fantastic even with a fairly nervous patient. We're coming to the end of the treatment now and even though we're not finished, there's been a vast improvement to my teeth and general wellbeing as a result. Can't thank them enough.

We had a great experience with Nik Maini. My daughter had a scan at Graystone within two days and within a week, when the report came through, we were able to plan the next stage of her orthodontic treatment.

I don't think I can explain my feelings about Dr Emma and Graystone Referral Centre enough but i will try. I would like to say huuuugeee thank you to all staff working here for all your kindness and smile faces!! My 7 years daughter was suffering from her molar teeth and they needed to be taken out. We visited a few place and they always reccomend general anesthetic. But Dr Emma offered us another way, she reccommend to take out her teeth on a few appointment with inhalation seduction. She is very professional about kids and really understands their feelings. Even during operation my daughter was telling me, if she has any problem about her teeth she would like to come to Dr Emma. 🥰 They worth every penny of your money.. 🙏🏻

Emma and her team were absolutely wonderful with my 18mo after some tooth trauma. I left feeling reassured and armed with a much better sense of my child's dental health, a really full and informative report, and some local general dentist recommendations. My 18mo was put at ease by super friendly staff and didn't want to leave!

Incredible service for both myself and my 5 year old. They immediately put him (& me) at ease, explaining everything really well, and went above & beyond to ensure it was a positive experience (he now loves the dentist!)

I am undergoing treatment on recommendation of my own dentist. I have received an exceptional service from this Centre. My specialist treatment has gone very well, and I particularly like how everything is explained to me. The tech they use is brilliant, and provides information and analysis as we have progressed the treatment. The people carrying out the work are specialists and the support staff friendly and caring.

Thoroughly impressed by everything Graystone does! From the moment I first walked in, right up to today, when my treatment plan has reached its conclusion. Could not give this place enough stars

This specialist dental practice goes above and beyond for their patients. Thank you to AJ and the team for my RCT and making the experience as easy as it could possibly be.Right from the beginning I was reassured and put to ease by the team; even before I came in for my first consultation. They listened to my concerns and also took time to get to know me as a person.Following on from this, my experience at the clinic was calming and everyone was extremely professional. I felt very well looked after and found the attention to detail of the introductory emails to be extremely helpful.Throughout the process, AJ and the team took care with listening to my concerns and explained things very clearly and in a way wherein I felt calm and reassured. The person centred care really contributed to this.I found that being able to ask any questions at any time and always having all the information I needed to be an outstanding addition to my experience.This practice, AJ and the team are outstanding. I am very thankful for my treatment, and inspired by how high the standard of care is.I would wholeheartedly recommend this practise to anyone. There is clear intention to make the patient experience great here and it is certainly outstanding. I am feeling very lucky to have received treatment here.Thank you AJ and Team for everything.

We received excellent care through ! Can’t recommend every single one of the staff highly enough . What a difference it has made to my very nervous daughter having someone that took time to explain everything so thoroughly with kindness and compassion throughout !

I would like to say a big thank you to AJ and the team for making me really comfortable knowing I had extreme anxiety throughout my treatment plan. I've come out the other side with a much improved outcome

As a dentist with postgraduate qualifications in Implantology, I've had the privilege of observing AJ's implant surgeries. AJ possesses a remarkable depth of knowledge across the spectrum of dentistry and approaches treatment planning holistically. AJ practices to an exceptionally high standard with meticulious attention to detail and great care for his patients. Additionally, he tackles complex cases with profound proficiency.Not to mention, as a referring clinician, I can attest to the professionalism of the entire Graystone team. Referrals are promptly assessed and comprehensive follow-up is consistently delivered. The clinicians are very approachable and willing to communicate about referred cases. Sarah and Malissa excel in facilitating seamless communication, whether it be about mutual patients or to book lecture evenings. Graystone’s dedication to maintaining a patient-centered environment is palpable.

Excellent service from AJ and team. In the past at a previous dentist I had walked out of root canal treatment and had to find a dentist willing to sedate me before treatment. I needed further dental work and was referred to AJ. He overcame my fears with patience and explanation and as a result I was able to have root canal treatment without sedation.Really appreciate the great work done, cheers.

My daughter was referred to Graystone Referral Center for a complex tooth extraction. Dr Emma Ray-Chaudhuri and her team were very professional, informative and super friendly. In the end, the extraction was executed successfully without any complications. Credit to the whole team, they were very gentle and kind to my daughter. Also, the centre called me the next day to check if my daughter is okay. What a service, love it!

I had an very relaxing and amazing experience at the fantastic Graystone Referral Centre a few months ago. This was largely down to the excellent treatment I received from the staff, who put me at ease by clearly explaining each step of my treatment, and the professionalism of all the staff at the centre.

D Jones

I visited Graystone's to have a complicated filling in my wisdom tooth. Sadly I've had this attempted at other dentists but within weeks it had fallen out.Graystone Referral is a very relaxing environment which made me feel calm even before I went into the surgery.Mr Ray-Chaudhuri was excellent, he examined my teeth and told me exactly what he was going to do step-by-step. I then put on my headphones to listen to music as suggested by the very helpful dental nurses.Mr Ray-Chaudhuri is very skilled and I left with a very smooth filling, which I am delighted to say is still perfectly intact 18 months later.

My experience with AJ, Chetan and the rest of the team was amazing. Throughout my complex treatment with Chetan I was kept fully informed on what was happening in each stage and I felt extremely at ease at each appointment. My past dental anxieties have been completely erased by this incredible team and I am so grateful to have been referred to them!

Clifton Wan

As a referring dentist, we are very lucky to have Graystone Referral Centre in our local area. I have no hesitation recommending the GRC team for specialist care as I know that AJ, Emma and team provide quality, evidence backed treatments suited for each individual. Each clinician here is held in high regard by the profession.Feedback from our patients has always been extremely positive. Particular praise is given to Sarah, Malissa and the support team who help make patients feel completely at ease.

Richard Hanson

There is no other place I would trust with my teeth , I cant recommend Graystone enough ..I have many problems with my teeth and it's always complicated to solve due to issues with the sensitivity of my mouth and gums . At every stage of the process I was told exactly what will happen and my expectations have been managed realistically and in the end , successfully !I see AJ for my complicated dentistry and he has been an absolute wonder . I have also had subsequent follow up appointments for other specialist treatment with Frans who has only held up the exceptionally high standards set by AJ .The standards are also continued by all who work at the reception desk , with a calm informed approach. Nothing is too much effort for Sarah ,Grace , Malissa or any of the team and I always get a check post surgery to make sure all is well . If I need to speak to them with any concern they always have time or call me back . Its all very reassuring from beginning to end .Thank you Graystone

As a patient and referring dentist the service and standard of care from this practice is excellent. I gladly recommend patients, friends and colleagues to see AJ and the team because I know they will receive the highest quality of care available in the UK.The referral process is clear and straight forward and the whole team are really kind and caring for our patients.I have massively benefitted from having such knowledgeable friendly colleagues who provide top quality specialist care within a clean, modern environment using the latest technology to improve clinical outcomes for our patients.Amazing work team. Thankyou

Bethany Cole

I saw AJ for a new retainer. He used a new 3D scanner to take a 3D image of my teeth which can be kept on file for future retainers too. This is super helpful for me as it means I won't have to keep going back for moulds to be taken like I have previously at other practices. The whole practice was modern, clean and efficient. The team were all very friendly and helpful. Overall I had a great experience and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you AJ & the team!

The treatment and care I received at Graystone Referral centre was outstanding. AJ is exceptional, he fixed my teeth to a standard that I didn't think was possible, I am so impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and expert skill. I feel so confident in my smile since my treatment has been completed.In addition to the fantastic dental work, the team at Graystone Referral Centre are very supportive, helpful and friendly. I was always made feel most welcomeI highly recommend AJ, he offered great advise, care and provided incredible treatment for my broken teeth. I am so grateful to AJ and the team.

I've visited Graystone twice so far, as I embark on a likely extensive course of treatment, firstly for a general consultation and x-rays and then most recently (yesterday) for a tooth extraction.On both occasion I’ve found the specialists I’ve met with (AJ, Rakan and Malissa) to be professional, reassuring and patient. As a nervous person they’ve been great at explaining everything before action is taken, what I can expect, why we’re doing it, always following up with asking if I had any question of my own.They seem genuinely invested in my wellbeing and giving the highest possible level of service. As far as my treatments are concerned, its still early days but my extraction was utterly painless, which I did not expect but am most grateful of.In summary, a great practice, filled with professional, knowledgeable, and caring people. I’d recommend Graystone and its staff to anyone.

David Jukes

The treatment and support provided by The Gravestone Referral Centre was greatly appreciated. Staff were caring and attentive, all operating in a highly professional manner throughout the course of my treatments. I have absolutely no hesitation in offering this outstanding practice my highest - unqualified - recommendation.

Graham Keeling

Graystone Referral Centre is a centre of excellence.As a referring dentist we have always had very positive feedback from our patients on their experiences. Communications with patient and practice are swift, clear and comprehensive and the quality of treatment offered and provided is of the highest standard and most appropriate for the individual patients needs. This is delivered with a caring reassuring approach.The practice team lead by AJ and Emma is both highly experienced and qualified to deliver the most advanced dental solutions available supported by the very latest technology to facilitate this.I would highly recommend the centre to both colleagues and patients.

Emily Tucker

A fantastic clinic led by Dr Emma and AJ Ray Chaudhuri who are passionately committed to providing the very best care and attention to all their patients, and offer years of expertise and knowledge in their respective fields. No hesitation in recommending this clinic. There is also a lovely relaxing feel inside and easily accessible from all surrounding parts of Sussex.

Paul Howarth

17:03 27 Feb 22

I had to have a tooth extraction from the Graystone referral Centre and AJ and his Nurse Sarah made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. I had to have a 3D scan prior to the procedure and being someone that gets a bit nervous with these things they did a very good job of putting me at ease. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Angela Wigglesworth

15:38 26 Feb 22

It's not often you can say a visit to a dentist was pleasurable, but I would say this one was. I was not looking forward to having a rather complicated root canal filling which I knew was going to take one and a half-hours, but I need not have worried. I never felt any pain and the wild life and nature videos on a ceiling screen were totally absorbing. Apart from the very slight and to be expected discomfort of having dental equipment in my mouth, I could have comfortably lain back there for longer. AJ explained things as he went along which I always like, and the Dental Nurse was very kind and attentive to any needs I might have.

Rachel B

20:57 23 Feb 22

The team at Graystone referral centre are absolutely amazing. My daughter was previously extremely anxious about dental visits after becoming very upset having to have an injection at our regular dentist. At Graystone she was made to feel at ease and really enjoyed the visits, the staff are so child friendly and use child friendly terms so things don’t sound daunting for the little ones. The centre is catered for children with books, toys and even a tv above the dentist chair so they can watch their favourite programmes. I would highly recommend Graystone referral Centre, just wish we’d found you all sooner!
