Dr Dimitar Adamski DMD - Principal Dentist , GDC 249465
"...or just Dimi, as the patients call me.
I gained a Masters degree in Dental Medicine from the Medical University in Plovdiv , Bulgaria in 2007. My journey at The Croft began in June 2019 as an Associate Dentist, and I have been enjoying every day at this dental practice ever since. In the end of 2023 a new chapter of my professional life started and I had the rare opportunity to become the owner and the Principal Dentist of The Croft! Exciting times ahead!
I am delighted to see the positive direction of the practice, and I truly appreciate your kind words and vital feedback via Google reviews. Your insights help us understand patient satisfaction and the overall quality of our services.
Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family. As a father of two boys, they keep me busy, and we love traveling together to discover new places. I also enjoy chatting about cars and watches, so we can always have a pleasant conversation or share some dad jokes."

"I qualified from Medical University Cluj-Napoca as a Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2014 and joined The Croft Dental practice in 2021. I feel grateful to be part of such a fantastic and caring dental team providing top-notch dental care in Rustington.
By offering treatments with a caring nature and understanding each patient’s individual needs and motivations, I have been able to help my patients achieve their oral health goals while ensuring a gentle and comfortable experience.
My ethos is to treat patients the way I would like to be treated: with professionalism, empathy, and dedication. As a general dentist, I provide a full range of dental treatments, from single tooth cases to full mouth rehabilitations. I am particularly passionate about cosmetic dentistry, utilizing a preventative and minimally invasive approach. The anti-wrinkle therapy is my other passion!
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, practicing piano, and spending quality time with my husband and our two little boys."
