Muddymonty Burn ★★★★★

Very professional service and advice from the staff at this Dentists. I needed a wisdom tooth and a rotting tooth extracted, Shane the Dentist was amazing and very calming through this painful process. Very clean surgery and personal attention to your needs are addressed. Won't be scared to go back.

Doreen Brown ★★★★★

This is a small friendly dental surgery. Staff are polite and approachable, the premises are hygienically clean. Excellent service and always offer urgent appointments where necessary, extremely suitable dentist for children altho they do not take new NHS patients.

Ellie Lawson ★★★★★

I’m one of these people who are absolutely PETRIFIED off the dentist but the staff were second to none! I had a tooth extraction yesterday and they were lovely. They kept me calm and reassured me everything was okay. I rang the dentist today and the woman was lovely - i’m scared of catching an infection or anything and the woman was so calming and caring on the phone, thank you Castle Dene Dental Surgery

Courtney Smart ★★★★★

Had an appointment on Friday and the service was brilliant! Clean surgery and the dentist + staff were so friendly and made me feel at ease throughout my whole appointment and kept speaking to me through my full procedure, best experience I’ve had with a dentist! 100% recommend.
