My dentist is the best ever.
My dentist is the best ever. He is always patient, has a fantastic sense of humour and he and his assistant Halle have a fantastic work friendship and bounce off each other. My son recently moved to London and was gutted he would lose this dentist. I never have nerves going to him as he always puts you at ease.

I did really love this dentist when I first started going and recieving my treatments I couldnt fault it. How ever when it came to making my dentures and attending my hygienist appointment they sadly fell short.
Months later my gums are still bleeding , I have constant mouth ulcers from incorrectly made dentures. I attended multiple times to have them re adjusted but each time they are adjusted the fit gets worse. I got to the point where I have stopped attending now because ive wasted my money on dentures that are not usable and im having save up again to go elsewhere to get better fitted ones. Also one of the permenant fillings I had fell out in less than a week and has left me with a big gap.

Brilliant Dentist
The reception staff and all the dentists are very professional in all aspects of service. I am normally very nervous about visiting the dentist but thanks to the way I'm treated I now feel very confident visiting and the treatment I receive. A fantastic team and I would recommend Smart Dental Care Kearsley to anyone looking to find a good dentist.

I have been with this same surgery for over 32 years now, in all that time I have never had a bad experience, I really look forward to going to my appointment. Due to the dental advice I’ve been given during this time from the surgeons I’ve not needed any treatments after my six monthly axaminations. My Surgeon and her nurse are wonderful.

I write this with an open mind
I write this with an open mind. I like the Dentist, I've been there for many years. But the changes implemented are not the best. This has been turned into a semi-private Dentist and appointments are sparce. Its a sad thing to see, and if I could move surgeries, I would... ( NHS Dentists are also sparse and difficult to get hold of !)
The receptionists are really nice and do their best to accommodate you, it isn't their fault that there are limited appointments. The Dentists themselves are also really nice, but currently they are away for months on end and lots of annual leave. ( I appreciate everyone needs their holidays and leave for what ever reason!) But contingencies must be in place for emergencies, of which it seems they are not.
Its gone downhill rapidly and its very sad to see.
Hopefully the Practice Manager will do more to ensure this practice becomes a lot better. But at the moment, its very difficult to deal with this surgery at present.
Please, listen to your patients. Especially those who are in need of appointments and cant get them!
