Dentists Edinburgh

I went to Slateford dental because it was local under emergency appointment. I was not disappointed. Dawn was very good I had severe plaque removed and also tooth extraction followed by an impression for new teeth lower and upper. Still awaiting upper-lower plate fine if everything is good will be quite happy. Can’t fault the great staff and covid protection well in hand hope to have my smile back soon thanks to Dawn and staff.

I started to visit Martin about 2 years ago and would like to share my experience with anyone who has a fear of the dentist. It took me 2 visits with my husband coming along for moral support, to get through the doors of the practice and into the chair. Martin is one of the most patient people I have ever met and made sure I was at ease before even asking me to open my mouth. I needed a considerable amount of work done which was done under anesthetic over a couple of visits. I am happy to say I now go to see my hygienist Jill every 3 months, who is brilliant at her job and is completely aware of my fear. She compliments Martins good work in every sense with the same approach, friendly, smiley, calming and reassuring attitude towards your first and all follow-up visits. I continue to see Martin every 6 months for check ups. I cannot praise this practice enough, please go along and let them try to help you overcome your fear in the same way as they have done for me. I now go alone to my appointments and don`t have sleepless nights before a visit. I knew I needed to go to the dentist so asked my husband to have a look for somewhere and he researched clinics in the area and thought this would fit the bill. All the staff are friendly and smile as you come through the door it has a very calm feel and if like me you are petrified they make sure you don`t wait too long for your appointment.

One of my teeth cracked as a result of grinding and I suffered from a condition called internal resorption. Dr Au managed this problem brilliantly carrying out a root canal treatment under local anaesthetic. Because of the extent of damage caused by the resorption it was also necessary to have a crown to complete the treatment. This was entirely painless and has been successful in avoiding an extraction. I am so pleased with the excellent standard of care I received I am now a regular patient not only with Dr Au but also his hygienist. Essential Dental Care is brilliant! Dr Au and his team are so welcoming and professional. From the moment Liz or Naomi welcome you at reception right through to your consultation and treatment you really feel at ease. The waiting area and surgeries have a lovely air of calm; just what you need when having dental treatment. I would definitely recommend Dr Au for great value private dentistry.

After avoiding the dentist for years, Polwarth Dental Clinic has completely changed my view. Every appointment I have been to was professional, put me at ease and the treatments are the best I have had. All the staff are so lovely and accommodating and I definitely will continue to take care of my teeth through regular appointments. Wonderful dentist.
