"This entire team take pride in what they do! I'm super impressed with their professionalism, and going over and above what they need to do. I went in for a hygienist clean, and they offered me some extra pieces of info for self checks at home, even a wee mirror. Things like that make me happy to call these guys my go-to for any teeth troubles. I trust they know their stuff, and they do what is best for me and my teeth. The front desk ladies are friendly and great follow up calls, and reminder texts / calls. Quick turn around, and reasonably priced. A+++"

"The Dentists have converted me from being terrified of the dental chair, to willingly booking appointments - that’s no small feat! I cannot speak highly enough of the team - from the friendly office staff and hygienists, to the care and expertise that Graeme brings to his dental procedures. In the past, the dental work I had received left my teeth in a less than ideal state, but thankfully Graeme has been able to rectify this - allowing me to finally have a healthy smile! I am so very grateful, and recommend this dental clinic wherever I can."

"I'm not saying this lightly , I'm the worst patient in the world when it comes to dentists ,I have major anxiety because I can react to anesthetic and sensitive to pain , so have been to many dentists and today I found the most caring gentle patient dentist in Alistair ,I had the best experience I have ever had , I cannot Thank him enough, he took his time and explained every step as he went , I honestly didn't sleep the night before because my anxiety was so high , but his soft gentle approach has finally made me feel relaxed about going to the dentist again , thank you so much Alistair"

"I've been under the care of Sally over the course of my treatment. I came in for a check and she discovered a couple of holes and an overbite (that I've been aware of). She pointed out that I'm grinding my teeth and wearing them of in the wrong places, and we have a plan on what to do about it. Now that I'm aware of it I'm slowly teaching myself to do it less, which also seems to have calmed down some of my headaches. I've now had 2 fillings done. I'm extremely anxious when going to the dentists. But Sally and Kyra are a fantastic team and talked me through every step. I barely felt a thing and feel a lot better now that my teeth have been fixed. Everyone from reception to DA have been amazing to me. Thanks so much team!"
