During lockdown so many dentists were closed...not mine they offered video consultations throughout and I managed to get an appointment as soon as they opened. Great Service!

I will think twice to go there unless you want a painful experience. The dentist who treated my wife, tried to extract her tooth against her will, no given her other options. She had a bad abscess causing a lot of pain, but the newly qualified dentist (2020) didn't even try to deal with the abscess . The only option for him was to extract the tooth and half an hour later of trying, my wife had to go running and screaming with pain. We took advice from 3 dentists and now she sees other dentist who treat her with respect.

Very calming and professional, everything was explained about what was needed and so about to be done in my mouth. I would recommend this dentist to anyone with a tooth problem.

I have been to alternative dentists in Dundee and I have to say that as a nervous patient the treatment I got at Discovery Dental Care is worthy of Five Stars. I was not rushed and all treatment was explained perfectly by Angela. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending this practice to anyone who previously had nerves when seeing the dentist.

Since a very traumatic experience with the dentist when I was only about 5 years old, I finally plucked up the courage a few months ago to make an appointment with Discovery Dental via a video call. After explaining to the dentist that I have not seen one in 16 years (Yes 16 years because I have been so petrified) She was completely understanding and talked me through everything and gave me the confidence to go and get checked up. Today I have been for my first treatment and have to go back shortly for follow up. But I cant tell you how big a weight has been lifted off my shoulders because of

I started my journey to straighten my teeth during lockdown and can't fault the service I received. It was all really straightforward and Angela was great with any questions I had, even if I only had them in between visits. I'm really happy with the end result and have received lots of compliments about them even though I didn't think it was a major change, more something that I noticed more than other people (apart from Angela!) I don't hide behind anything when I'm smiling anymore. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking if it's worthwhile.
