Having not visited a dentist in over 3 years, I was more than anxious about my dental visit. My fears were quickly alleviated - Susan Morison made me feel at ease right away and was absolutely fantastic. It was the most pleasant dental visit I have ever had! I highly recommend this practice.

I hadn't been to the dentist for a number of years and frankly felt very embarrassed (actually there was no need!). What a lovely, supportive, friendly, professional staff team I found to set my fears at rest. I'm so glad I went. I couldn't recommend them more!

Official complaint :
Extremely disappointed with the rudeness & unprofessionalism of this clinic , I was planning to do 3 implants & a major treatment plan but I cancelled all due to the aggression of their receptionist, she is literally fighting , screaming & hanging off the phone because I requested to reschedule my appointment !!! This is not how customers should be treated especially in a private clinic. Being a medical Doctor , I have to advice them that they should treat their patients in a better way & respect is a keyword for any success. I will choose another dental clinic & still

I took my son there today as he had chipped his front tooth a couple of years ago and the composite had been knocked off at the weekend. My son had asked to go to a cosmetic dentist for the repair this time. as is a perfectionist and didn't want the tooth to look as though it had been previously chipped. The dentist (David Kilroy) exceeded our expectations, and the tooth looks absolutely amazing!
He spent a much longer time than he had quoted for (and stuck to his quote, even though I would not have minded if he had asked for more), ensuring that he did a perfect job... So impressed. Highly recommended

A great experience every time. They always have available appointments at convenient times. Nice reception area and friendly reception staff. David Kilroy is fantastic and I've never felt nervous or unsure with him. So far every check up and procedure I've had has been completely smooth, with the best possible outcome and follow-up aftercare.

Amazing. I've been terrified of the dentist my whole life, and had avoided it completely for ten years by the time I booked an appointment at Morningside Dental. Susan was perfect - she actually made it enjoyable! She's sweet and kind, and really gentle. I didn't need anything but a scale and polish but if I did I'd trust her completely. Recommend to anyone but especially those who are scared of dentists!
