Kellie Bill ★★★★★

Amazing dentist. Reception staff always very welcoming and helpful. Dr d'silva is the best dentist i have had over the years, professional, highly skilled, friendly and being a nervous patient always puts me at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone

I love the Smile clinic. The reception staff are very polite and very helpful. Arranging appointments is no problem and they always try to find a time that suits you perfectly. You will be reminded by txt and email so you don’t miss your appointment. I saw the hygienist, Laura, today and she always totally puts you at your ease. Laura is funny, sweet and at the same time very professional and does a great job. I would definitely recommend this clinic.

We thoroughly recommend this surgery. Dr De Silva is an excellent, caring dentist, who listens and tailors her approach accordingly. In our experience a nervous patient becomes a confident one. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, including Jenny, Head Receptionist, who always answers the phone or calls back. Elizabeth and Alistair Holford
