“

This is the best dental practice I have ever been to. I am a very nervous patient and I needed an emergency appointment. I had rang several dentists but could not get in anywhere. Then The Dental Centre came to my rescue. From walking in the door, they were so calm and caring. They all went out of their way to make me feel at ease. The dentist was amazing and explained everything very clearly. I had complete trust in her within minutes. I was so pleased and relieved that I didn’t get an appointment anywhere else because I don’t think I would have got any better treatment. Thank you so much to all the staff at The Dental Centre.
