Pontcanna Dental Care on Cathedral Road is private dentist, I should make clear for anyone who's…read morelooking for an NHS dentist. I've been going to this dentist all my life, and only through recent discussion with friends about their own personal dental experiences have I realised how wonderful this dentist is. So I thought I'd let you all know! One of those lovely old houses along Cathedral Road is the setting for this practise. You find yourself in a cosy hallway and front room waiting room, where there are coffees (lattes, americanos, cappuccinos) and soft drinks on offer. There is also free wi-fi, should you feel the need to Yelp while you wait. The waiting room has a bay window to trees outside, so is an exceptionally lovely and calming space to wait in. The receptionist is lovely, and has that rare ability to make idle chat seem genuine. When you're actually in the chair, there's a screen showing undersea documentaries to distract you from all other goings on. The service is always relaxed, friendly, and very professional. You are not pressured into getting any extra work done, as I've heard a few people complain about with private care, and the price is far more reasonable than what other people I know have paid. In short, this is a dentist I'm not scared to phone up and get an appointment at.

This practice may have good dentits but first point of contact is awful! I called a while ago to…read morefind more information in regard to a treatment that i need and after spoken to them they promised to check and call me back. The secretary was not very friendly at all. They never called back. I called again a while after and friendly explained no one called me back last time. She then went silent and it sounded like she put the phone down to do somethig else as i could hear her in the background. I said 'hello' over 5 times and she just ignored me. Then she hung up! I called back amd it went straight to answerin machine. So incredibly rude. Go to Carhedral dental practice down the road instead as their reception staff is lovely. I went there instead for a major work i needed done.

As somebody who has always had a phobia about dentists as well as having some unpleasant…read moreexperiences, I was slightly apprehensive about my first appointment. From the outset and upon entering the reception, I was extremely surprised at the personal service I received as well as the welcoming atmosphere. Dr Lesti was extremely informative regarding my treatment and ensured I was comfortable and at ease.

Hate the Dentist? I do. Fear going? I do. However, the dentist surgery in Lakeside in Cardiff is…read morepleasant enough. They treat you well; they are polite and are most certainly professional at their job and they don't fob you off, or put you under false pretences about the treatment that you are going to be receiving. I have been going here for as long as I can remember and I can safely say that even though I have hated nearly all of my experiences at this dentist they have all been safe and quick and I don't know what I was complaining about in the first place. Some of the prices are high for things like having a filling done just on the one tooth, let alone anymore, even whitening is pretty expensive, but this company is dentistry, which is under the control of the NHS. I do recommend it for all who want to get their teeth checked and their personal tooth problem sorted out and fixed! It is a small dentistry and can become very busy at times; so do please try to remember to come on time. You can get the bus there and a car or you can walk depending on where you live.

When I took my last job I was offered a dental plan as part of the benefits package. Seeing as I…read morehadn't been to a dentist in a number of years, and the last time I saw one was at hospital when they pulled the tooth (see my review on the university hospital), I thought it would probably be a good idea to get myself a dentist in the city centre. After asking around I was directed to this little street just off of St Mary Street. I gave them a call, explained I didn't have a dentist and that I would be paying for treatment. I soon had my appointment and couldn't wait to go and see the dentist (there was a sarcastic tone which you probably didn't detect there, I hate visiting the dentist). What I found was that the waiting times were fairly short provided you arrived on time, after filling out a form I was soon in the dentists chair and this guy had his hands in my mouth checking out my pegs. He advised me that I would need some fillings and that he was quite surprised my teeth were in such good condition considering how long I had left it until now. He then told me I could make an appointment at reception for the fillings and also to visit the hygienist upstairs. I was surprised when the receptionist told me I could go straight up to the hygienist as there was a time slot available immediately. I left here with bight, shining white teeth, feeling a million dollars and confident that my return visit in approximately one weeks time would be as painless as possible. And it was too. This is a very good dentist, and I don't like dentists in the slightest so take from that what you will.

Feeling under the weather? This medical practice is located in the heart of the city on Cathays…read moreTerrace and its present location is on one of the main routes into town used by commuters and a great number of students. The surgery now comprises of two terraced houses. They won the 'Surgery of the Year' award for its overall facilities including and access for the disabled in 1993. The practice continues to grow and develop and maintain its skills through the hard work of its current partners and team. They have a lovely Primary Healthcare Team, and you may register with any of the three doctors and will be able to see the doctor of your choice if you book your appointment in advance.

A limited number of same day appointments are also available with the duty doctor.

I finally submitted to the pain of a raging abcess and went to see a dentist almost 15 years ago…read more The dentist was local and plucked from the Yellow Pages. The one condition had to be they were prepared to put me to sleep to have any treatment including check-ups. What a lucky break I have been going faithfully to see Nicola for the last 15 years and have never missed an appointment. The surgery staff are very helpful and there is an air of calm everywhere. When I finally had my abcess done Nicola said I would drift off and wouldn't remember a thing. As I was going under I was worried as nothing seemed to be happening. I tugged her arm and said "Cardiff City won the FA Cup in 1927 I'm still here..." then thankfully woke up to an abcess free life. I think I fell in love with her then... I started going to the surgery when it was still at it's City Road address. The move to West Grove a few years ago has been a positive one from my point of view. The only negative point is that we have had to move reluctantly from an NHS dentist to a private practice. I think Nicola held it off as long as possible before giving in to harsh financial reality. I get a lot of information from the surgery and organise my visits by email which is great for me.

They try to provide patients with a friendly, approachable staff in a relaxed and professional atmosphere. As such members of the team are always happy to discuss any worries or concerns patients may have regarding treatment or administration. Since its foundation in the mid-20th Century the practice has gone through innumerable alterations. In July 1992 Dr. Steve Davies purchased the practice outright, following a 10-year partnership with Dr John Alexander (both having qualified in Cardiff in 1975). Before his arrival Dr. Davies had spent some time in the hospital service, prior to a 5-year commission in the Royal Navy. Two years as an associate preceded his move to Llandaff North. He has general interest in new dental techniques, and has particular interest in occlusal studies (The effects of the bite on head/neck/joint pain). Steve is also a keen tennis and squash addict. Dr. Neal Benford joined the practice in June 1997. Neal was formally a keen rugby player, but those days were cut short due to a knee injury. Dr. Angie Lane qualified in July 1996, becoming an associate at Wilton DP in February 1998. Angie is a keen Rugby fan, and enjoys weight training and tennis. Both Angie and Neal will be with the practice for the foreseeable future.
