Routine Dental Examination UK

I have been using the practice for over a decade now, really impressed with the standards of care and quality provided by all the staff. For a start...it's a very clean practice with no dirt or clutter etc and all the decor is nice and relaxing in my opinion. The equipment used is also very clean and well presented, along with all the staff. I have been visiting Robbie as my main dentist for the past few years. He has a fantastic patient manner (apart from being a great dentist) and I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a new practice to give this one a try. Top marks all around.

Not a fan of going to the dentist, but Nial makes me feel very much at ease by explaining the treatment every step of the way, inspiring confidence that I am in safe hands. My new partial denture and veneer ensured I had a fantastic smile at my son's wedding. The girls at the front desk are so friendly, nothing is too much bother and the free coffee tastes lovely!

I experienced Horton Dental Clinic professional staff, dental nurse and dentist. All courteous & professional & explained the dental treatment I need & put my mind at ease as I am a nervous patient. Pleased with this dental clinic & going back to them for more dentistry. 5 stars.

As a child I did not look after my teeth, as an adult, I have now to endure many dental procedures. I have experienced many Dentists. Ballyclare Dental “Smile” Practice is notable for their approach, advice and professionalism. Their Trevor and Jennifer McKissick are very experienced and personable dentists but Pamela Lowe whilst also very personable and immensely competent has the lightest touch of all the Dentists I have experienced in fifty-odd years of dental work. I have had root canal treatment, crowns (many), an implant, tooth extraction, white fillings, fillers, tooth whitening. They offer a membership/insurance scheme & yes it is expensive but comparable to other schemes. Their scheme means if you’re having discomfort they usually see you same day/next morning.

First time I’ve been in a dental setting for a very long time and was made to feel at ease by the friendly and welcoming staff as soon as I walked through the door. The gentleman (I’m really bad at remembering names) that I saw was excellent and was extremely knowledgeable, he took the time to explain things to me and I really appreciated that. When I need any dental work or help in the future this will be the place I go.

I have been with Antonio for 12 years, I have complete faith in him. His make you feel very much at ease plus his very friendly staff.

Faultless service. Caring, kind, efficient and informative. Everything was explained clearly. Infact, after months of disheartening care from my NHS dentist, here, I felt important, listened to and cared for, as a person. Very happy with everything. Would highly recommend this dental service.

This is my husband's experience: After unpleasant experiences with the school dentist, I was not looking forward to the process. Noel Perkins and his team have been superb. Noel came highly recommended by my sister, who’d had equally unpleasant experiences as a child, her high praise was well-founded and justified the long journey for each appointment. The care and attention to detail have been second to none. Noel is both calm and calming, completely putting me at ease. He explained every single stage of proceedings. His initial examination was lengthy and comprehensive, I was given various options and was pleased to see, I paid for treatment along the way, not in initial one-off payment. Noel advised me that wearing dentures since I was a child had caused rare jaw problems, top and bottom, but he has efficiently overcome all complications, with meticulous attention to detail. I needed bottom dentures to be able to chew, NHS partial lower dentures had never worked, despite having 2 different sets. I had the implants put in; the same day I had remaining bottom teeth removed along with bone augmentation. It was a long appointment, the anaesthetic was amazing, I was awake but totally pain-free. I thought I’d been in the chair 20 minutes, but it had been much longer. Temporary dentures were fitted to click on implants. Truthfully the whole process afterwards was no more painful than a normal extraction. A soft diet afterwards was crucial. I had a couple of appointments to adjust the bottom plate while the gum was healing. I had restorative work on top teeth, root canal, crown all were pain-free, not surprising as Noel is highly skilled and experienced. I travelled to Carlisle to Noel's technician Robert Taggart, who is a master at his craft. He too spoke very highly of Noel. Initially, Robert made adjustments to the existing top plate, whilst bottom implants and gum healed, later he crafted the final top and bottom dentures, after the healing period. Having had NHS dentures for over 50 years, where impressions are taken and teeth picked up on next appointment, these Gerber dentures are a revelation, so natural looking. I had no idea how much care and attention to detail would be taken to make these. There were numerous fittings with different bite points but the end result is totally worth it. They have been admired and look totally natural, as well as being more comfortable. This has been a two-year journey, made longer by COVID 19 lockdown, but it has been totally worth it. From the beginning, Crossbank is not like any other dental surgery I’ve ever been to. The whole friendly and relaxing experience put me at ease and I have already recommended Noel Perkins to others as an empathetic, highly skilled professional dentist who truly cares.
