We were on the island for holiday, when my wife Andrea started to suffer really bad pain, so I enquired about an emergency appointment. Without hesitation, they said yes they will see her, very, very nice people, discussed options and was happy to do which ever treatment my wife wanted. If we could put more than 5 stars, we would. Very, very nice people, excellent service, thank you very much.

I needed urgent dental treatment whilst here on holiday. Once I arrived at this practice, I was made to feel at ease straight away. Bernard was very efficient and gave me all the options available yet still allowing me to decide the course of treatment without any pressure. I Would thoroughly recommend this practice and express my thanks for a no fuss visit.

My anxiety was soon calmed with reasurance, hot water bottle and a squeezing pillow and some magic cream to numb my gum before my dreaded 💉. Well I can honestly say the pillow got a little squeeze when 💉 went in, but was not too unpleasant. Tooth was extracted swiftly and with no complications. Even recieved a new patient gift and a beaut…
