Dentists Edinburgh

A very positive experience with a dentist who showed great patience and who took time to explain everything in fine detail.

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.

I saw Dr. Andrew Norman for a cleaning and check-up and then again for a filling. He was the first dentist to diagnose and show me how I've been grinding my teeth at night, which was very helpful to know. Dr. Norman was excellent and thorough, and I am also impressed with his friendly, efficient staff. When one of my implants looked like it needed to be replaced, Dr. Norman consulted with colleagues and did extra research before getting back to me with a complete assessment of my options. Also, when I wrote the office asking for radiograph images, they responded with their usual friendly promptness. Overall a fantastic and highly professional team.

I received prompt and professional assistance after an accident which had left me with a wobbly front tooth. It was stabilized and a follow-up appointment was set in four weeks time. The tooth healed correctly. I heartily recommend the Polwarth Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental help! Dr. MacEachen and the rest of the staff were absolutely lovely, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the practice.
