I have gone to the dentist from before I can remember. Going to the dentist for anyone, no matter…read morewhat age, is hardly an enjoyable experience, but I would say that this dentist delivers a service that makes going this dreaded chore a little bit more palatable. It is important for a dentist to make you feel comfortable and relax. This dental clinic certainly achieves this in my opinion. The dentists themselves are polite and approachable and the receptionist staff are professional and courteous, always remembering to use your name to relax you. It is situated relatively close to the city centre so it is easy to book an appointment to fit around your work or school schedule. I would advise not booking an appointment around 3.30pm, as the school across the street gets out and can make the traffic bedlam.

Horrific treatment. I had a mild fear of dental work and injections, and the male dentist treating…read moreme made my experience far worse (Gregg). He was completely non-understanding and called me "irrational" and in need of "growing up". He then told me to "get over it". He caused such a state of panic that I had to be given nitrous oxide and was belittled when I suffered from a severe panic attack due to his yelling. He then believed it was acceptable for him to yell at me, belittle me, and belittle my mothers parenting. Both my mother and I left the room in tears and nearly fainted. I will never let him "treat" me EVER again, no patient should ever be treated in any manner even CLOSE to how he treated me and he should not be in his chosen line of work given his anger issues. However, I have previously been treated by a female - in the same dentistry - who was extremely understanding which lead to my full co-operation. I do not wish to condemn all the dentists that work here, but Gregg treated my family member and I inhumanely. I changed my dentist the next day and I now suffer from a severe phobia after this experience.

These guys had the great honour of removing my wisdom teeth. Three times. Ow. One tooth, then two…read moretogether, then another one. I can't decide which one was more traumatic...I think they all were in various ways! Although - I think no matter what dentist you go to, the removal of a stonking great tooth from a tiny space is going to be a killer. They dealt with the whole process very well, and they did it with regard to me having as little pain as possible - God love them, I'm a bad patient. My poor Dad had to take me and bring me home as they gave me the wee injection to make me dopey (quite enjoyed that part of it) and they removed the teeth as quickly as possible. They gave us good directions for aftercare and allowed me to pay the bill off in instalments. The bill was nearly as painful as the extraction, but it was necessary. For a nasty job, they did it well.

I felt it is important to inform others of my experience here. A part of my tooth had sheared off,…read moreleaving my tooth thinner than normal and I booked an emergency appointment to have some filler put in to thicken the tooth. The dentist called John-Joe Hartigan was appointed to manage my situation. I told him that the sole reason for me coming to the dentist was to get my emergency tooth repair fixed. The first appointment I had xrays done and I was informed four times by reception that I will have my emergency tooth repair fixed on the next appointment. John also told me once that I will be getting my tooth repaired on the next appointment. Shortly after, I received an email detailing a dental plan for other work that could be done aswell. The plan had me down for getting a general teeth clean on the second appointment and the entire dental plan did not list my emergency to be dealt with at all. I phoned reception and she said that John had accidentally left out the tooth repair and that I will be getting it fixed on the second appointment as I was told before. Later, I arrived for my second appointment and John told me that I was getting a general dental teeth clean today. I questioned him as to why my emergency tooth repair was not getting fixed and he said we can do that another time. John knew that I was only there to get my emergency tooth repair completed and it seems that he wanted to get as much money out of me as possible before he considered fixing my emergency. I would strongly advise others to avoid getting dental work done with John-Joe Hartigan.

I received outstanding service from Gentle Dental. A newcomer to Belfast, I had not yet set up any…read moredental or health care, and as luck would have it I bit into a sandwich and broke my front left tooth crown (a 2K one from previous reconstructive dental work). And this happened on a Saturday holiday weekend. I searched the Internet and began calling dentists in the city, and after the fifth call someone at gentle dental actually answered the phone: by Tuesday morning my tooth was fully repaired. The receptionist, office manager, and dentist were all extremely accommodating. The initial setup as a new patient was very thorough, but without being impersonal and curt. I felt like I got to know the staff a little bit, they got to know me, and when I thought it might be a little over personal, I was in the dentist chair and it was strictly business: full exam, good discussion about my options, and although I thought the best thing to do was to spend the extra money and get a full replacement, they recommended otherwise (excellent advice in hindsight). Thank you for such great service, I'll be a permanent customer from now on.

I would and will be recommending this dentist to anyone! Really good job!
