I am really happy with the great level of care and the fantastic resultCarina, Ireland, 28 01 22

I couldn't recommend Gillian (who works at Rdent as the hygienist) enough! I hadn't been to the dentist for years, and so I was all the more apprehensive when I had to go for a deep clean six months ago. The treatment lasted a whole hour, and it was absolutely pain free, Gillian is so gentle, and so skilled: I didn't think my teeth could look that good ever again! She also gave me very valuable advice regarding the aftercare. Today I went for a regular clean up, and again I am really happy with the great level of care and the fantastic result! The receptionists are also very helpful and friendly :)
