I have just completed a course of dental treatment and the standard of care, from the information I received at the outset, to the clinical expertise, reassurance and advice I received during each appointment, was excellent. Grateful thanks to Tom, Sara and the dental nurses. See you in 6-months.
Nicely greeted by Sara and Hope on reception, then Andrea the nurse took me in and Sarah got to work on my check up. Lovely place, thanks to everyone, but especially Sarah.
I have been coming here for a number of years. Always a friendly welcome and I appreciate that you get a text reminder of your appointment.
Tom and Grace were fantastic today reassuring me and calming my nerves. Tom explained the procedure and it was painless. Thank You 🙂
A friendly greeting on arrival, prompt in confirming appointments & in sending a reminder the day before. My dentist makes sure I am comfortable, is reassuring & gives explicit explanations at each step of a procedure. I greatly appreciate the care & attention received from all staff over the years of being a patient at this Dental Practice.
Thank you so much Gill and assistant Andrea for using the Lunos air polisher on my sensitive teeth today which was warm water. It made all the difference as I can’t always cope with the cold water and sometimes have to ask to revert back to hand scraping. Also thanks to the helpful reception team Sara, Hope and Grace who are always really helpful and managed to get me an appointment at short notice. I’d recommend this dental practice to anyone.
I got my smile back today and couldn’t be happier. The whole team at purely are brilliant. As a nervous patient I was made to feel relaxed and everything was explained as we went along. Tom is a great dentist and I can’t thank him enough for his patience and kindness, great taste in music too. So if you are a nervous or anxious patient I highly recommend purely dental Thank you guys
Good morning, I am a patient at Purely Dental I would like to leave this review, I have always received excellent first class treatment from my dentist Tom he is very understanding and professional and looks after me extremely well. All the nurses and receptionists are also very professional and kind , I would fully recommend Purely Dental they are excellent.
I have been with Purely Dental for a number of years now and seen the practice grow, change, and improve, all for the better. Thank you to all the staff at Purely Dental. Eve was a capable assistant nurse to Tom, my dentist. Sara and Hope were great front of house. I would not hesitate to recommend Purely Dental. I have previously been extremely anxious about dental visits. This is no longer the case and am comfortable with routine visits and any remedial work that is needed, everything is explained thoroughly before and during the process. Thank you Tom, and team Purely Dental. You are amazing 👏.
The new cleaning technique (“air polishing”) used by the Gill, the hygienist, is brilliant! I have sensitive teeth, and the sudden twinges caused by the old technique are now a thing of the past (as is the anticipation of them). Plus, the final result with regard to stain removal was my best ever. Thanks, Gill, for always trying to minimise the discomfort while at the same time doing such a thorough job.
I went to Purely Dental very apprehensive after a previous experience at another dentist,years before, as soon as I went in to my appointment with Tom he asked me about my anxiety, I was reassured and made to feel at ease, I needed a lot of work ,it was all explained to me . I was given a treatment plan ,which I could use to my own time scale. The whole treatment was painless. I work in a customer facing role and the confidence a new smile has given me is amazing .thank you to all the team , see you kn 6 months
