Wonderful treatment and fantastic new tooth on my plate, thank you to my dentist Tania and the lovely helpful receptionists.
I have never experienced better dental treatment that is not only fully explained in simple terms but delivered with an enthusiasm that encourages me to also do my best.
I was terrified to visit the dentist after 12 years. I was treated with kindness and empathy and supported through my treatment, staff are very kind and understanding. I had to cancel some appointments due to work but they were quickly rearranged without problem, highly recommend.
Friendly welcoming staff. The Dental Surgeon made my 5yr olds first ever visit very comfortable, and an enjoyable experience.
I’m a very nervous patient to the point I can pass out on the way to appointments. I’ve had 2 appointments here with Rakesh and I’m so greatful for the professionalism, the calming manner I have been shown, I cannot thank you all enough. I can now walk myself to the practice without passing out and am so grateful. Everyone at the company have been amazing with me. Very highly recommended.
I visited Braces & Faces Dental Centre over the course of 6months, the service I received was exceptional and they care about their customers. Worth a visit for your dental needs 5/5 stars!
I had a hygienist appointment and Liz and Donna were great, very thorough and made me feel at ease.
Both Tanya and Shelby were professional and friendly. I felt in safe hands.
Excellent service as always everyone is very helpful and willing to accommodate individuals’ needs.
