I had a fantastic experience. I was refered herr to have a tooth removed . I was booked in for the following week ! Super quick . I was seen bang on my time and the dentist was amazing ! Reassuring spoke me through everything he was doing and really encouraging. Whole thing was over in 15 mins. Would deffo recommend. He made small jokes as he went which put me at ease. Really lovely dentist .

I was referred to this practice for a wisdom tooth extraction, the receptionist was lovely, happy and joked with me putting me at ease (this is so important especially with nervous patients). The dentist was happy to chat about things before the extraction, didn't feel the injections at all, he distracted me slightly and removed the tooth, no pain at all. The dental nurse took over with after care and advice. A really good experience (if you can ignore the part where a tooth is being pulled from your head). Others have mentioned a dated practice, it is what it is and served a purpose.

Problems on 2 separate visits - wisdom tooth root left in following an extraction, and left with a severely damaged tooth next to a second extraction that will need follow up care from my dentist. Seems to be a rushed service with a very poor technique? The receptionist and dental nurse were however very good 👍

I echo RS TM's comments entirely. Apart from those, a random member of staff walked through the surgery twice whilst I was having an extraction. Afterwards I had an infection & also had to have work done on my neck as the nurse hadn't held my head in place during the procedure. The aftercare at my own (excellent) dental practice is ongoing a few weeks later.
