Yesterday, my son had a dental procedure involving sedation to remove two teeth, and I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care we received. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and communicative. They made both my son and I feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions with patience, and showed genuine care and kindness.

Kirsty Smith

Just had my first ever experience of this dentist and sedation clinic! I can say I was absolutely amazed. I was very anxious to attend due to a previous dentist causing me a lot of pain and leaving my roots behind which caused numerous infections. But all the staff were lovely and understanding that I was anxious. Procedure was done quickly and efficiently. I will definitely recommend this clinic to anyone! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for making my appointment stress free for me!

I attended for an extraction by sedation, referred by my dentist. Everyone was so professional and I felt very reassured immediately. Special thanks go to the dentist and anaesthetist who were so calm and friendly. I remember nothing of the procedure (thankfully!). Thank you, I am truly grateful to you for relieving my worries.

Everyone I dealt with today was so friendly and professional. Vinusha, my dentist, has a lovely manner and made me feel comfortable. I have been with this practice for years; it is a five-star dental practice!

I had an appointment with the dental hygienist today she was so lovely and put me at ease straight away. The receptionists were also very friendly and polite.

I came into see the Hygienist at the beginning of August. I can honestly say in all my years of attending the Dentist, this Lady has to be the best!She was patient and explained everything. The way she cleaned my teeth was gentle but effective. She gave me helpful advice on what to do going forward.I really hope I see her again.She is a true asset to the Dentist.

I had a wonderful experience! The clinic is modern, clean, and welcoming. Dr. Artman and Andreea are incredibly professional and attentive. Andreea is kind and caring — she made the whole visit smooth and stress-free with her gentle approach. Highly recommend.

Tracey Llewellyn

I would like to say that when I heard my regular dentist was leaving the practice back in January of this year I was quite concerned but having seen Amrit Kasbia on 2 occasions now, my fears have totally been put to bed. I would in fact go as far to say he is even better than my previous dentist. I would highly recommend him.

KE
Kelly Edmead

Fantastic service. My Dentist, Ema, is very professional, friendly and puts you at ease at every appointment.

DT
Deborah Taylor

I had my first ever hygienist appointment with airflow. I was quite nervous but was quickly reassured by the lady that performed the procedure (sorry i cant remember her name). Really happy with the results. My teeth look so much cleaner and healthier. The staff were really friendly. I also had a consultation for inviserline. They took a quick scan of my teeth so I have a idea of how they compare to the Finnished result.

Michael Johnson

The treatment I received was life-changing. The doctors took the time to explain everything and answered all my questions. I felt valued as a patient, and the results exceeded my expectations.
