Excellent experience July 2023 My dentist left and George has taken his place. Had another tooth out and didn’t feel a thing. George was fast and made sure he numbed the gums first so totally painless. George is easy to talk to, knowledgeable and gives good advice. Even managed to do a filling on a tooth that I thought was too far gone and I was surprised that he managed to get the height right first pop. Don’t hesitate if you need a good dentist see George. 2025…Still seeing George. The man is born to his skill. Such a light hand you hardly notice him working. I used to be terrified of dentists but I now make an appointment at the first sign of a problem. Just found out they have an in-house machine that makes the caps for teeth. Very convenient as you can get the job done in a day in the same place. The receptionists and nurses are also very warm and helpful. Highly recommend.

Awful, dentist put way too much filling in my teeth and caused them to crack and crumble. Now I'm costing more fixing it.
