A NEW private and family-run dental practice has opened in Southbourne.

Bourne Dental, in Parkwood Road, has been opened by husband and wife Dr Ismail Qazi and Mrs Naznin Dawji.

Naznin works on the reception, while Ismail works as a dentist, alongside Dr Rasoul Najafi.

The private dentists at Bourne Dental share more than 10 years clinical experience and are described as having provided "100's of dream smiles to many smiling patients". 

Naznin said the relaxed setting at the practice has already seen it likened to a spa.

She said: "Our practice is a calm oasis and patients immediately feel at ease when they visit us. They comment that it is like a spa. 

"We pride ourselves in the service we provide and our google reviews reflect that. Ismail has ample experience in dealing with nervous patients and his approach is very soft and gentle."
