Came in a panic on Monday, as my tooth was really painful … they originally scheduled for the filling to be done next week Friday but thankfully they had a cancellation and were able to see me today.
Really great service … I told the lady dentist seeing me, that I get a bit nervous when I’m in the chair and she was super professional by stopping and telling me everything that was going on when I tensed up … kept checking to see if I was comfortable and smoothed out the rough part I could feel with my tongue at the end of the filling.
Didn’t push the private filling on me at all as she said the NHS one was fine for what I needed done.

Really couldn’t be happier .. she also cleaned up a previous filling I had done as she could see that there was something wrong with it.

Excellent teamwork from M. Saad (dentist) and Sylvia (nurse) who were my dental team on a recent check-up. Very good communication, I was kept informed throughout about the procedure which was done with care and they kindly minimised any discomfort from the treatment.
