The team at Carlton Dental Care were fantastic!! I needed an urgent appointment & they got me in the same day. I have an infected wisdom tooth & was given a script for antibiotics. While I was there Lydia Khoo took my blood pressure & it was extremely high. I can’t thank Lydia enough for the care she gave me & now I know about my high blood pressure I can seek treatment. Christy on reception was amazing and so friendly. Thanks Team you do a fantastic job!

I’ve had two visits with this dental practice so far, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Kelvin has been absolutely wonderful, professional, gentle, and very thorough in his work. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure I feel comfortable at every step, which really puts me at ease. Both appointments have gone smoothly, and I’ve left feeling confident that my dental care is in great hands. It’s not always easy to find a dentist you can fully trust, but I can honestly say I’ve found that here. I’m already recommending this dentist to my family and friends, and I’ll continue to do so to anyone looking for quality dental care with a personal touch.
