Have used this dental practice for a few years now. Odd filling but mainly scale and polish. Last time i needed a tooth removed unfortunatly the dentist broke the tooth and left a bit root in he told me it would just come out itself. After a week in bad pain i went back and was told it was a bit of food stuck yeah right put wadding in and sent me home
Was told i would need to be refered to get the root out(surgical removal) and" it could take months"
I went to another dentist next day who said he would look and see what needed done after a 5 min look he said no that has to come out now.

Been going for years now, the dentist i see has changed 4 times i think? i dont know if that's common but each one has been excellent had some great work done, so I'm not complaining. The staff are super helpful and nice, they have adapted well to the new restrictions for stuff and they are fast to to get an appointments. There is space to lock a bike outside and close to parking and bus routes.

The first time I went to this place the dentist peirced a hole in my crown causing it to fall out 5 minutes after leaving, she also did damage to the tooth behind the crowned tooth & I've had nothing but pain every time I eat, ever since my first visit, I had to go back to get another crown which I wasn't happy about, because I don't think those people are trust worthy, I've lost all confidence in dentists because of them, definitely should be closed
