Dental Checkup Northern Ireland

My appointment was with the Bangor branch. A very honest & helpful free initial consultation via Zoom, that recommended Invisalign would not be suitable for my teeth & that I should seek a referral from my dentist to see a specialist Orthodontist for treatment options.

I have been a patient at this clinic for over 20 years and have received various treatments over that time. The staff have always been very helpful, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them.

As a child I did not look after my teeth, as an adult, I have now to endure many dental procedures. I have experienced many Dentists. Ballyclare Dental “Smile” Practice is notable for their approach, advice and professionalism. Their Trevor and Jennifer McKissick are very experienced and personable dentists but Pamela Lowe whilst also very personable and immensely competent has the lightest touch of all the Dentists I have experienced in fifty-odd years of dental work. I have had root canal treatment, crowns (many), an implant, tooth extraction, white fillings, fillers, tooth whitening. They offer a membership/insurance scheme & yes it is expensive but comparable to other schemes. Their scheme means if you’re having discomfort they usually see you same day/next morning.

I had an extremely pleasant appointment and it started with the receptionist Sinead. VERY impressed with my treatment and I'm so HAPPY that I now have a nearby excellent Dental facility.

Dr Kathryn Charleton is the best dentist I have ever been to. In 46 years visiting numerous dentists, and across various countries, I have never had such a pain-free dentist experience. She numbed my cheek and gum with a local anaesthetic on a cotton wool pad before gently injecting my gum with anaesthetic, and I never even felt the needle go in or anything else for that matter which is highly unusual. With other dentists, I would feel the needle go in and also the sting when the anaesthetic was injected, which is highly unpleasant to say the least, but with her I felt absolutely nothing. She performed a root canal on a molar with difficult curved canals, which is most people's worst nightmare. However, with Dr Charleton, this was the easiest procedure I have ever had and I can assure anyone who is afraid of dentists (as I usually am), you have absolutely nothing to be anxious about. Her assistant nurse Tara is also a gem. I travelled over 3hrs (round trip) to see Dr Charleton and I am going back again for more treatment, which may give you some indication of what a fantastic dentist she is. The fees are very reasonable, all the staff and receptionists are friendly and very professional. I would give this practice and Dr Charleton a hundred-star rating if I could, and I am usually very conservative with any praise. So if you are looking for a dentist and practice that really is outstanding, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
