Jasmine I ★★★★★

I have been seeing Nimal for a very long time now and I couldn’t nor would I want to imagine ever seeing another dentist again. The care that he provides and has for his work is the highest level you could ever find. I’ve never met a dentist so compassionate, skill-full and knowledgeable. I could not recommend him enough. He is the nicest person you could ever meet and always takes the time to listen and make you feel listened to. As someone who has always suffered with acute anxiety, he always puts me at ease, is reassuring and makes my visits to Allington Dental pleasurable- which I know …

Great service and a really positive experience. I came here for a bone scan in preparation for a dental implant and was made to feel welcome and at ease throughout my visit. The equipment they used was very modern and impressive to say the least. If I wasn’t already very happy with my current dentist, I would happily choose Alington Dental for my ongoing care and would gladly recommend them to others.

I have just seen Nimal for a first appointment. He knew ahead of my coming that I was nervous and was perfect at putting me at ease. He was warm and friendly and communicated everything that was going to happen in a clear and straightforward way. All the staff were welcoming and I am delighted to have found a new practice that I believe will suit me very well over the coming years.

My experience with my dentist Nimal is that I am always full explained what he is going to do. I am a very nervous patient but he always puts me at ease. He is very considerate and gentle and because of this my visit’s don’t feel so daunting. The dental nurse that works with him is also very nice and always has a smile when she calls me in for my appointment. Also my hygienist is so gentle if you have any concerns she stops immediately. The staff on reception are always friendly and helpful. Alington Dental Surgery is a definite recommendation.
