I really do value my dentist. Knowing what I'm like, I made my appointment for the next visit six…read moremonths ago -- straight after the last one -- so that I'd have something in the diary. Sure enough, as the day came around, I considered cancelling. Surely I didn't really need a checkup? Bravely, like a true adult, I ignored the urge and faced up to the facts: I have to get my teeth checked because it's the present me looking after the future me. Well done me all round. Good job I didn't cancel. Whilst I didn't have to have fillings (PHEW) I do appear to have trouble getting rid of plaque, so the six month breaks have been shortened to three months. I really appreciate how friendly and patient the staff are -- if you've questions, they'll happily accommodate you. I feel completely confident that they have my best interests in mind. If you're a nervous patient, I'd say try this place out; on my last visit I noticed they've a sign saying they have sedation options for those who're afraid of seeing the dentist. So far I've not had to request that, but I totally get that for some people it's a necessity! Basically, every time I go I'm delighted. I still hate teeth, and really don't enjoy having to get checkups, but at least I'm in the best hands!

The outside has had a much needed revamp. The previous outside exterior was grim and uninviting,…read morenot a place I wanted to visit. Had to visit this dental practice with a client. The inside is on different levels on three floors. There is no lift. The dentist room was like something out of the 1970's. The walls were painted green with old cream dental equipment. Just glad this is not my dental practice. Just so out dated!! Needs a complete upgrade for me to even consider being a patient here. Makes me appreciate my modern dentist in headingley.

So. I have been back to Church View, this time for the treatment…read more To reiterate my earlier review, dentists are at a disadvantage on Yelp when set against beautiful bookshops, banging bars and cool cafes but I have to say that, on a level playing field, Church View has now left many (supposed) palaces of pleasure way behind. It hasn't yet knocked a night out with a good friend and a pint of local ale off the top tier but it leaves a visit to places like Starbucks wallowing in the mud they call coffee (whoops, I'm getting sidetracked). The Appetizer: I was greeted by pleasant, efficient reception staff (having already received a reminder sms the day before) The Entrée: After a short wait (well I was early) I was called in to see the hygienist (Carrie) who made sure I was ready, willing and able with regard to mouth and teeth maintainance and got me off to a flying start with a good clean and polish. The main course: I really wasn't looking forward to this! I am a coward, I'm not afraid to cry and fat and old though may be I reckon I could out run the average dentist when they say 'extraction' Well here's a surprise, I stayed put AND it wasn't bad at all, in fact I soon upgraded my order from one extraction to two. Katie, the dentist chatted to me, explained everything that was happening and frequently checked I was OK. I felt totally calm (this from the guy who ran away from a dentists and tried to hide behind a street light) and throughout the whole procedure I had 100% confidence in Katie as she spent almost an hour wrestling to evict a couple of unwelcome residents from my mouth). I can honestly say that this was the least pain I've ever experienced from a dentist (I've had check-ups more painful). The dessert: (obviously not sugary or tooth rotting ones). It was lovely to get a call from the surgery a couple of days later to check that everything was OK and that I wasn't in pain or discomfort. I make this final statement fully aware that I may receive strange looks etc but I honestly can't wait for my next appointment
