After years of using a private dentist (thank goodness for family health insurance), I recently…read moreswitched over to this NHS dentist. The Baillieston Dental Care practice is located inside the Baillieston Health Centre, one of the many amenities that the centre offers. They recently took on a new dentist and advertised to register new patients, so my parents and I signed up. Private care is just too expensive without insurance, and here the check-ups are free. After my initial check-up, which didn't take long, they brought me back in for a scale and polish, x-rays, and a small filling. It cost £24 in total, which isn't bad at all. Since it's NHS, you can claim benefits and/or save money if you are under 19 and/or a full time student. Unfortunately I'm not part of that bracket, but I was surprised. Since I've never had an NHS dentist before, I don't really have a point of reference with which to compare. It was quick, the staff are friendly, and overall I have no complaints.

Well, I guess I wouldn't say it's close, but it's closer than going to the west end. My guy recommended this dentist, as this is the one he goes to, so I figured, why not make this our family dentist. Huzzah. This dentist must be pretty busy because I called in for an appointment and they were able to schedule me in a month later. No biggie, I had no pressing issues to speak of. When I arrived, it was a blustery typically rainy Glasgow day so I was quite happy that it was so warm and toasty inside the Dentists doors. The waiting room is full of antique furniture, I almost felt as though I had stepped back in time. Very cozy indeed, I was able to relax a bit while I waited to be seen. When I was taken back for my check up, I was greeted by friendly staff and we got down to business. I spoke of a few small issues I was having and without even blinking, we were off and running, chatting about the ins and outs of teeth, and how mine are pretty great. (Years of braces and the want to keep them as clean as possible probably helps). I quite enjoyed that the dentist was chatty, as it helped ease any anxiety I have about being in the dentist chair. I'm back in a few weeks for a cleaning and it's funny to think that I'm actually looking forward it it.

Can you go as far as to say you love the Dentist?…read more If it were possible I would say I loved this one. Although no one wants to go to the dentist McCarte and Swan's is just about the least intimidating, most friendly surgeons you could hope to find in the centre of Glasgow. They're based on Douglas St in a surgery that used to be a house. With comfy chairs, Smooth Radio in the background and a cozy, living room ambience, it's hard to feel nervous. You may have to wait a couple of weeks to be seen so if you can afford to, book in advance. They do, however, offer emergency appointments, are open late on certain week days and will strive to see you as quickly as possible should you require assistance. And you know, even when you do get to the part where you're sitting in the chair, the dentists and nurses are so good you're out before you can blink. I've been in for some pretty painful infections in the past and had to get a number of jags in one day but the crazy thing is I don't remember it being as sore or unpleasant as it could've been. My dentist is Dr McCarte and he always offers friendly advice and chats away. So even in the most severe cases he goes out of his way to make your life a lot easier - he seems completely at ease which also helps. The general upkeep of your teeth is up to you but a check up and tooth cleaning in here is just over ten pounds and it seems to ward off any further infections. Dr McCarte always keeps up with you and even though he is a very busy man he always remembers you, making it feel more like a family surgery as opposed to merely a service. If you ever do have dental problems, his empathetic but pragmatic approach is always a huge help. So after my earlier years being fearful of the dentists, I can honestly say that Dr McCarte and his professional staff has eradicated my concerns, making my dental health a lot more manageable with minimal stress. The attitude, work and interest from all staff mark this surgery a cut above others, and each individual is an asset to the health profession.

We have been going to this dentists for quite a few years now…read more A few years back there was a change of dentist, the layout was changed and modernised to change the whole look and feel of the place. Since I work about 30 miles from home I need to have late appointments. The receptionist and dentist realise that and always ensure that this is never an issue. ( There is quite a few others in the same situation) At my last visit I turned up early and since the dentist was quiet at the time (not often that happens) I managed to get my checkup done early. The annoying thing about the practice is constantly being asked to clarify your details every visit and the NHS text messages which remind you of the day of the appointment but not the time.

My friend and I were leaving in the morning to make our way to the Scottish Highlands and I knew I had to be seen before our departure. I emailed 2 emergency dental clinics. Hammaad, the dentist, emailed me soon after they opened at 8:30 am and said he could fit me in at 9:15 am. I called him as requested and told him I would be on my way. The location was easy to find. Every single employee at the clinic was so kind. I was seen right away and they quickly took x-rays and started on my root canal. I told Hammaad that I was leaving to go to the Highlands and not returning to Glasgow. So he made sure to set me up for success. He cleaned out my tooth that had a bad infection. He constantly asked how I was doing during the procedure. Afterwards he gave me antibiotics to make sure the infection would go away. He told me he would call me the next day to check on me and called me while I was still in the office to ensure he would be able to get a hold of me. The cost of the last minute appointment, x-rays, and the root canal was 299 pounds. I paid out of pocket since I am a US citizen. But it was worth every penny as we all know toothaches are the worst. They gave me directions to the pharmacy and it took just a few minutes to pick up my prescriptions. Hammaad called me the next morning to check on me which was thoughtful and kind of him. I highly recommend this dental clinic. Everything and everyone was perfect from start to finish. I was able to still make it to the highlands and enjoy my holiday without any further pain. Thank you, Hammaad.

They are an NHS dentist predominantly and their standard is very high and (more importantly to me) they don't rip you off with treatments you don't really need. I always get a (very thorough) check-up by my lovely, caring dentist Margaret and usually a scale and polish (because I loooooove the way my teeth feel afterwards!) which feels amazing and the Hygienist is always cheerful and super lovely. Great reception staff too and it is never a problem if you ever need to change an appointment. Good selection of magazines too in the clean and comfortable waiting room. If you're living in or near the East End then I would definitely recommend Whitehill Dental Practice. My teeths feel HAPPY! :D

I found the reception staff very pleasant and friendly and accommodating. Being debilitatingly terrified of the dentist from a young age it was to my immediate relief that the dentist I saw, Lisa, and her assistant, Emma, were both very friendly and professional and quickly put me at ease. At each step of my treatment I was made aware of what was happening, and why, what I could expect as a result of the procedures and what the plan was for future treatments. At the end if my treatment they have undoubtably won my trust and earned my respect for their professionalism, competence and excellent attitude and care and attention to detail. Suffice to say I have no fear or apprehensions of any future visits to this dentist. At no point during any of my treatments did the dentist rush on with the work when I advised her the area was not completely numb. Instead, more anaesthetic was administered (I typically require a larger dose due to thicker jaw bones) and time was given for it to take effect before she carefully checked the area was numbed completely before continuing. Aside from the usual soreness that can follow extraction of molar teeth I felt no pain during the process and must remark at the speed and efficiency with which the painless treatment was carried out. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. Perhaps the previous author has had a negative experience with a dentist/receptionist at this practice that is no longer in their employ but the description of the people and experience s/he describes are not befitting of the warm, friendly people and comfortable, pain (and fear) frees experience I have had at this practice. +1 very satisfied customer
