"...From wringing my hands on the doorstep - thank you lisa for your patience and understanding, to bein..."
From wringing my hands on the doorstep - thank you Lisa for your patience and understanding, to being in the chair having a crown fitted! Thank you very much, Kostas and Gary, for taking such excellent care of me - outstanding throughout my three appointments. I am delighted with the result and was so pleased to be able to book my six month check up with absolutely no hesitation.
The reception staff were extremely attentive and caring, both before and after the treatment. The dentist , Ana, was super friendly, listened to me and made me feel at ease. The dental assistant that worked along side the dentist was amazing . Chatted and put my mind at ease as I was extremely nervous and emotional. I am extremely grateful to The team at Red Lodge Dental Surgery for helping me when I was in so much pain .
Went in today as an emergency and superb treatment from this gentleman and dental nurse. Very thorough treatment and not rushed at all.
I felt confident and relaxed whilst receiving treatment. Everything was explained in detail and I was well looked after. All staff are very professional and polite.
Have been coming here for some years and seen the surgery grow and modernise. The reception staff are aways friendly and organised & put you at ease. The dentists & their assistants are both professional & approachable. There is onsite parking. I would highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic friendly staff, very helpful. Wonderful dentist that takes time to explain treatments needed and gives options if available. Calm and friendly environment. Would definitely recommend.
Would recommend to anyone, everyone is friendly and kind - Dr Han is a great dentist for the whole family! She is reassuring, extremely knowledgeable and explains what is happening throughout.
I had Three fillings done by my dentist at Red Lodge Dental Surgery. It was a complicated fix, but I didnt feel a thing. The Dentist was so thorough with his care and so professional, as too was his assistant. Definitely would recommend.
Always professional and kind, especially for a nervous patient who it no longer nervous thanks to Dr Georgios Emmanouilidis. Couldn't recommend anymore
Amazing, caring service. Nothing is too much trouble
I would highly recommend this dental surgery. The dentist we see, Kostas, is so lovely and amazing with my son. The ladies behind the desk are so lovely, kind and very helpful. I would highly recommend. Especially if you're a nervous patient. Everyone there are so amazing and so very helpful. I can't thank them enough
Myself and my family have been with this dental practice for quite a few years now and in the past year I have had quite a lot of dental work done. I cannot fault the dentist at all. I have received very high quality work and care. All of the staff are very friendly, caring and helpful.
I have used this dentist for many years. Always found them to be professional and calm and the facilities are excellent. Today I went for the hygienist…. Always dread this… I can honestly say that was the best visit I have had. Very little in relation to pain , both Nicola and Amna made me relaxed and comfortable. It was a pleasure. I’ve booked for the next one as normally I skulk out and don’t book :-)
Had a lovely check up today with Dr Hansee, she is so sweet and has such a calming manner, if you were at all nervous then she totally puts your mind at rest. I actually look forward to coming to the dentists now which is something I can't always say about some of my previous dentists before I came to this practice.
I couldn't wish for a better dental practice. I have always been nervous when it comes to needles , from the lovely ladies on reception, and my dentist and dental nurse have all helped me to overcome my fear of needles. I always feel like they really care. Would highly recommend!
I want to say how amazing George the dentist is. I am so scared of the dentist and I needed a wisdom tooth out. It wasn't having the tooth out that scared me—it was the numbing they inject. But George and his nurse took time to make me feel settled. I was so nervous but felt looked after by George. His bedside manner is extraordinary. The reception staff are also lovely, it's like walking into a comfortable home. I will always visit this dentist and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. I'm writing this on my partner's account—that was the other thing, they allowed her in with me. So reassuring and comfortable. I thank all of them.
Kostas explains everything very clearly and then performs the procedure with confidence & efficiency. Very friendly staff all round, would highly recommend.
Konstantinos and Gary are a great team. Konstantinos is a sculptor and an artist when it comes to tooth repair. I'm actually looking forward to going back and getting the rest of my teeth fixed.
Excellent dentist, staff very polite and helpful would recommend this dental practice to anyone
Can't recommend the surgery enough! Front desk staff really helpful as always and George did a great job with a wisdom tooth extraction. Everything fully explained, quick and pain free, genuinely so much patience and care.
I had a extraction of two teeth it was quite pain free and only took a few minutes. I have had a extraction at my old dentist and it was painful 😒. My new dentist is just a really nice guy and cares about your comfort and takes time to explain was he is going to do.
This afternoon I had a dental appointment with George dentist. He's very caring, and I didn't even feel my injection. I have to go back in January 2025 to finish off rest of my treatment. Also, the receptionists are very nice and caring. I wish you all a happy Christmas holiday season.
"...And crown here. all great work. i would recommend george, if you need implant or other complex works..."
Brilliant dental surgery. I have my implant, root canal and crown here. All great work. I would recommend George, if you need implant or other complex works.
Really great. I was late but they held the appointment. Very friendly and informative throughout the procedure (replacement composite filling). Very happy with the end result. No pain during or after the procedure, with only minor discomfort afterwards but to be expected.
A very good dentist and assistant always satisfied with the work carried out.
"...S i can’t remember their names) were so kind to me. i had worked the appointment up in my head and i..."
I was particularly nervous ahead of an extraction appointment but both the reception staff as well as Dr Georgios put me at ease. From finding out that I needed a tooth out the reception staff were on hand to answer all my questions and they did so with such empathy. As for the appointment itself; Dr Georgios and his team (apologies I can’t remember their names) were so kind to me. I had worked the appointment up in my head and it really wasn’t as bad as first thought. Thank you so much to the team!
Very impressed - I’m a nervous patient but everyone here was so kind and put me at ease.
"...Onist go above and beyond to help. well recommend..."
Very professional. Everything explained about treatment needed. Felt at ease with the dentist and assistant. Great service and facilities for disabled. Parking great. Receptionist go above and beyond to help. Well recommend.
"...Cannot recommend the red lodge dental surgery and in particular dr..."
Cannot recommend the Red Lodge Dental Surgery and in particular Dr Konstantinos Karatzioulas and dental nurse Gary highly enough. The care and attention to detail is second to none. Excellent communication throughout and for a nervous patient this was very much appreciated. Over the months I have become more confident and less nervous about attending the dentist. Thank you to you both!
I was traveling through the area and was in pain. The team there squeezed me in, despite not being a patient there. Great support from a caring staff.
"...S comfortable as possible. i can highly recommend han as a very kind, considerate and professional d..."
I am an extremely nervous patient. I suffer with anxiety based depression and the Dentist is my worse nightmare! After several really bad experiences I can confidentially say I feel totally comfortable visiting Han and Kosta, the whole team to be completely honest including the Hygienist. Everyone at this Surgery goes out of there way to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I can highly recommend Han as a very kind, considerate and professional Dentist. Only down side is the cost.
"...OKed after from start to finish. highly recommend..."
The team is incredibly friendly and professional, and the dentists are exceptionally knowledgeable. Every procedure is clearly explained beforehand, so you always know what to expect. During surgery, they show great care and attention to ensure the experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. I felt well looked after from start to finish. Highly recommend.
"...Job he is a perfectionist, and i highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate..."
I've had the pleasure of being a patient of kosta, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional dentist. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and well cared for by Kosta and Gary. Kosta is not only highly professional but also incredibly considerate, taking the time to explain every step of the process and ensuring I was comfortable throughout. His attention to detail and commitment to providing top-notch care truly stand out. I couldn't be happier with the results of my treatment—Kosta did an amazing job he is a perfectionist, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate dentist. Thank you Neil
"...H for worthwhile and accepting. i would recommend her to all, very pleased and happy. thank you..."
Dr Hansinee Kuppan is so good at her practise, the best dentist I've seen. Very polite, honest and knows what she is doing. I think the Ramadan technique is so much better and more comfortable, when having treatment. It's hard having to pay for private treatment but having a good dentist, makes it so much for worthwhile and accepting. I would recommend her to all, very pleased and happy. Thank you.
"...In january my wife and i both had dental inspections with hans, which were carried out most professi..."
In January my wife and I both had dental inspections with Hans, which were carried out most professionally, we were both treated in a professional and friendly way. After the inspection we both needed a filling, we did not have to wait long for an appointment. The filling was done extremely well, I did not feel the injection at all, Hans made me feel very relaxed and her treatment was the best, the resulting filling looks good feels good. I felt NO pain during the treatment.
"...What she will be doing. i would highly recommend this practise. the whole team here are welcoming a..."
Hanna is amazing, she makes me feel very much at ease and it is clear that she genuinely prioritises patient care, she is gentle and explains clearly what she will be doing. I would highly recommend this practise. The whole team here are welcoming and caring.
"...I have always been extremely nervous of the dentist. red lodge dental practice have been very patien.."
I have always been extremely nervous of the dentist. Red Lodge dental practice have been very patient with me. Even recently having wisdom teeth removed, I was comfortable and able to ‘deal’ with the procedure without having to be sedated. I am so very grateful
"...Georgios, and he has been absolutely amazing. as a very nervous patient, i appreciated how he exp..."
I am a new patient of Dr. Georgios, and he has been absolutely amazing. As a very nervous patient, I appreciated how he explained everything he was going to do and outlined the treatment plan. I just finished my treatment and couldn't be happier. The entire staff is wonderful, including the nurses and the lovely receptionists.

Wondering what your visit to Red Lodge will be like? Here are answers to some common questions from new patients.
Got a question we haven’t covered?
Our friendly team is ready to help, just give us a call for a quick response.
The length of treatment with fixed braces depends on the complexity of your individual case. Most patients wear braces for anywhere between 12 and 24 months, but this can be shorter or longer depending on factors such as the severity of tooth misalignment, bite correction needs, and how well you follow care instructions. Regular appointments at our Suffolk practice allow us to monitor progress and make adjustments to keep your treatment on track, aiming for the best possible results in the shortest time.
Absolutely! Fixed braces are not just for teenagers, many adults visiting us from Suffolk, Mildenhall, New Market, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge opt for this reliable orthodontic treatment to correct a variety of dental concerns, including complex bite issues or tooth movements that can’t be addressed with removable options alone. Modern fixed braces are more discreet and comfortable than ever, making them a popular choice for adult patients seeking lasting improvements to their smiles.
While wearing fixed braces, it’s important to avoid certain foods that can damage the brackets or wires, such as hard candies, nuts, sticky sweets like caramel, and chewing gum. These foods can cause brackets to break or wires to bend, potentially prolonging treatment. Initially, your teeth and mouth may feel tender, which can make eating uncomfortable for a few days, but most patients quickly adapt and find ways to enjoy their meals with minimal difficulty. We’ll provide you with a full list of foods to avoid and tips for eating comfortably throughout your treatment.
Once your braces are taken off, your teeth will be straighter and better aligned, but they still need support to maintain their new positions. We’ll provide you with a retainer, usually a removable or fixed appliance, that you’ll wear according to your dentist’s instructions. Wearing your retainer as advised is crucial to prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back, helping you preserve your beautiful, healthy smile for the long term. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits to monitor your teeth and address any concerns.
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked or uneven teeth by reshaping and realigning the front surfaces. While they don’t actually move teeth like braces do, veneers offer a quicker cosmetic solution for creating a straighter, more uniform smile. For more significant alignment issues, fixed braces are usually the best option. At Red Lodge, we’ll help you decide which treatment is right for your smile goals.

There’s no upper age limit for a straighter smile. Many adults from across Suffolk, including Red Lodge, Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge, choose teeth straightening to boost confidence and improve oral health. If your teeth and gums are healthy, it’s never too late to start.
We offer discreet options like Invisalign, clear aligners and ceramic braces designed to blend naturally with your smile. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing treatment.
Treatment length varies depending on your individual needs. Many patients see noticeable results within 6 to 18 months. We’ll provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
Some mild pressure or soreness is normal, especially when your braces or aligners are adjusted. This usually passes quickly and means your teeth are moving as they should. Our team is here to support you through any discomfort.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Plus, many patients find it boosts their confidence and improves their bite and speech.
You’ll typically have regular check-ins every 6 to 8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We aim to keep visits convenient and efficient.
Yes, many of our patients find that straightening also improves bite issues like overbite, underbite or crossbite, helping with chewing function and overall oral health.
At Red Lodge Dental Surgery in Suffolk, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to meet your dental needs. This includes general dentistry like check-ups and fillings, cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and veneers, teeth straightening options including clear aligners and braces, dental implants to replace missing teeth, sedation dentistry for anxious patients, root canal therapy, surgical extractions, and more. Our goal is to provide personalised care tailored to your smile and health.
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and any specific needs you have, then recommend the most suitable treatment plan. We believe in clear communication and ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Most dental treatments are performed under local anaesthetic, which means you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure during or after treatment, but this usually passes quickly. For patients who feel anxious or sensitive, we offer sedation options to help you relax and have a comfortable experience.
Treatment durations vary widely depending on the procedure and your individual circumstances. For example, simple fillings can be completed in one appointment, while treatments like dental implants or orthodontics take longer and involve multiple visits. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline and explain each step before you begin.
Some treatments, such as routine check-ups and cleanings, usually require just one visit. More complex procedures like root canals, implants or teeth straightening often involve several appointments to ensure the best outcome. We strive to schedule your visits at convenient times and keep you fully informed throughout your treatment journey.
Your safety is our top priority. Our practice follows rigorous infection control protocols aligned with the latest health guidelines. We use modern sterilisation equipment, disposable tools where appropriate and maintain strict hygiene standards.
