I did my research well, this well run dentistry had the expertise to do a difficult proceedure for my son, which other dentists tend to refer to specialists! The whole place looks top notch and has the latest equipment and to top it off the staff are wonderful. Follow up calls and checking at every stage that all is well. Really feel they've got it all handled, I would thoroughly recommend this practice.

Keni T ★★★★★

Such a great experience from start to finish. The dentist, Dimi, carried out a very smooth and thorough examination and had such a calm, positive energy that instantly made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Everything was explained clearly, which I really appreciated. The hygienist, Tess, was absolutely amazing — so gentle and careful. I genuinely kept waiting for the cleaning to hurt, and it never did! It was the most comfortable hygienist appointment I’ve ever had. The whole team made the visit feel stress-free. 💯 highly recommend!

Theo Mich ★★★★★

I had a great experience at Gentle Dentistry. The clinic is modern, calm, and very welcoming, which instantly put me at ease. The whole team is professional, friendly, and genuinely gentle. I saw Dimis, who was extremely helpful and reassuring. Both Dan and Dimis are excellent clinicians who clearly care about their patients. I felt very well looked after and would definitely recommend this clinic.

I stumbled across Dan and Gentle Dentistry while looking for a dentist that could do the work relatively as pain free as possible and based on reviews and their own claims it seemed like the matched exactly what I was looking for. I star…
