New Patient Dental Examination Edinburgh

I was really impressed with Dr Vineeth Balachandran, he explained what process I required and in a way I fully understood.

I chose this dentist as I was trying to find a dentist close to where I live when I arrived in the UK. The clinic itself is great, it's a very nice place and I like it a lot. The receptionist was very welcoming. The appointment I had was very good value, I came for an emergency checkup and I was treated and given a course of antibiotics which got rid of the pain. Everything was great.

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.
