I used this clinic because I knew they had a good reputation and I had been on their NHS waiting list for years before I was eventually taken on as an NHS patient.
In mid-March 2024, I attended the surgery for a six-monthly dental check-up, followed immediately by a separate appointment with a dental hygienist.
Coincidentally, I had, a week earlier, chipped a corner from and already extensively filled molar (though it was causing no discomfort).
The dentist repaired the damaged tooth there and then, which was very welcome and efficient. It has given me no trouble since.
I had followed the dentist's previous recommendations to improve my cleaning regimen, and this resulted in the dentist passing comment that my teeth now appeared to have been cleaned better than in the past.
The dentist can clearly offer useful guidance.
The hygienist session was, as usual, slightly uncomfortable (due to sensitivity from past over-brushing), but the hygienist was careful and took trouble to ensure that the process was as pleasant as possible.
The charge was just under £100, which felt about right for the standard of care.
