Amazing dentist and affordable prices too. Had crowded teeth for years, lost my confidence and stopped smiling full stop. Dr Alexandra is a perfectionist. She made me feel at ease straight away I sat in the dentist chair. Everything went so smoothly. We did have to extend the time of treatment but that didn't bother me. I just wanted to have beautiful and straight teeth again. And I definitely do now!!! So happy with the finished result, and I have been recommending Alexandra for all my lovely clients. Thank you so much for being the best.

The best dentist I have ever had, I had serious fear of the dentist due to past experiences with pain and sensitivity but Alex did not hurt me once and there was no pain whatsoever, I would highly recommend her if you struggle with any nervousness of going as she is the best, she also did an amazing job at my scale and polish as I usually avoid it due to sensitivity but I also didn’t feel a thing with that, they are both very welcoming and friendly, thank you both very much

Going to the dentist is nobody's idea of fun so it is a delight when the dentist makes the visit as painless (in every sense) as possible.
Like many people I get nervous when having treatment. I have just had to have a root canal treatment and I can't say that I enjoyed it but Alex was a joy. She inspires confidence. She takes the time to explain everything and carried out the treatment efficiently and painlessly.
If you are in need of a great dentist then I couldn't recommend a better one.
Thank you Alex. Keep up the good work.

Alex is an amazing dentist!! very highly recommended. My 6 year old came here yesterday to have one of her teeth removed she was incredibly nervous and terrified of the dentist from a previous bad experience elsewhere. Alex was made aware of this and instantly reassured and calmed alicia to the point where she not only sat in the chair but managed to remove the tooth! Alex is excellent with children and has all the time for them. Doesn’t make them feel rushed or pressured i can’t thank alex enough for being so compassionate and caring towards my daughter when she was so scared. If anyone is having a bad time at there dentist like we previously was don’t waste another second going to them and swap it’s the best thing we ever did
