I was really nervous about attending the dentist having had some bad experiences in the past. I chose the Porter Brook Dental Centre following a personal recommendation and found it welcoming and friendly. The dentist was really kind and interested in what I had to say and in why I was anxious. He spent time explaining what was going to happen, performed a thorough examination and then answered all my questions. I did not feel at all rushed.
Our dentist at the practice is private only (and therefore more expensive than NHS dentists that I have visited in the past) but there were a number of available payment options to make it more affordable.
Also, as I am in full time employment, it is really useful that the practice is open late on some week days - really nice not to have to take days off to go to the dentist ... even a nice dentist!! read more
