Jacqueline Baird ★★★★★

I can’t recommend this dental practice enough! The entire team is fantastic—from the friendly and efficient reception staff who always go above and beyond to help me get the best appointment (and even squeeze me in for emergencies), to my amazing dentist Alastair who makes every visit comfortable and thorough, along with all the lovely dental nurses and Alison the fab hygienist. The level of dental care and professionalism here is outstanding, and they truly make you feel valued as a patient. Thank you for always providing such excellent service, care and kindness.

Jane Flucker ★★★★★

I would highly recommend Riccarton Dental Practice. I’ve always been quite a nervous patient when it comes to dental visits, but dentist Alistair Scobie and nurse Debbie were absolutely fantastic. They were calm, patient, and really took the time to explain everything, which made me feel completely at ease. Alistair’s gentle approach and Debbie’s reassuring manner made me feel more relaxed throughout my appointment. The whole team was friendly and professional, and the care I received was excellent. I’m so glad I chose this practice — thank you for making the experience such a positive one.

It’s a welcoming, reliable team that makes going to the dentist a much more comfortable experience. Highly recommend!

renee barnsley ★★★★★

I honestly couldn’t recommend this practice enough. Veronica is such a brilliant dentist, she’s gentle, reassuring and always takes the time to explain things in a way that makes you feel calm and confident and Kirsten the dental nurse is so lovely and always makes me feel really comfortable too. The whole team are so friendly and welcoming, it actually feels like a positive experience coming here. I’m so glad I found them.
