I am an extremely nervous dental patient and have struggled to even get through a check-up in the past. Rikki was very patient and explained the whole procedure to me before he started and allowed me to set the pace. The treatment was excellent. A very comfortable and professional service.

This review is on behalf of my mum, who has been using this dentist for the past six months. However I myself have had a filling and hygienist appointment here, and couldn't recommend them enough. I'm usually an anxious patient, but Dr Rikki and his staff have made me feel at ease! "I started looking for a new dentist when I realised that my previous one was careless, as I got a root infection and a broken tooth shortly after visiting her. I asked around my friends for a good dentist, and they recommended The Dentist. I was told that this place charges more, but is very much worth it because they save teeth other dentists would rather pull. The doctor did a thorough check up on my teeth and started the treatment. I've received a root canal and a tooth extraction of my broken tooth. I have decided to go ahead and get two tooth implants put in- one to replace the newly removed tooth, and the second to fill a gap from a tooth I had pulled 21 years ago. So far I've had a bone graft and one of the implants fully carried out. I've also had a crown put in, and I'm currently due to have the second one put in soon. I would highly recommend this dentist because they work to a high professional standard, carry out their work fast and thoroughly, with jewellery-like precision. Most importantly I feel like I have their complete attention and care, which is something I found my past dentists to be lacking, as they often seemed to be distracted. Even if you have a poor understanding of English, they do a great job of explaining everything. I've not had any complications during my treatment, and I am very happy. The doctor and the nurse are brilliant. I would highly recommend using this practice." "

An absolute fantastic team at 'The Dentist'. Extremely patient-centred and professional. Aesthetic treatments such as veneers and teeth whitening are great value for money and so pleased with the results. The opening times as well very useful for those working long hours so overall could not recommend or praise more highly. Thank you.
