Hi after not visiting a dentist in years I had a broken tooth and a few that was bad and needed treatment fast after having a few bad experience with dentist the Pont Staffan dental practice was recommended I was so glad I went there I had three teeth removed and put back in the same day the staff was so good did not feel anything now I can smile with out feeling a shame of the state of my teeth thank you all. Excellent
3X replacement fillings Can't be faulted at all. After having a cracked filing and being reluctant to go back to my previous dentist, decided to try Pont Steffan. I saw Owain on my first visit and thought he was extremely good and very personable. He was very thorough indeed and sorted out my cracked filling even though it meant that they had to stay open for an extra 20 minutes. I've also had work by Eleri who is incredibly gentle and pain free. I was previously cautious of going to dentist after a painful experience at a previous Practice, I'm now perfectly happy to go and thank all the guys at the practice for such good work and genuine service. They make good coffee too !
