Down a normal alley (though alleys are always slightly creepy, and this one has a mechanic shop…read morehalf way down it) lies this little dentist office. It is horribly plain and lifeless when you walk in, with white walls and a stale feeling about it. There seem to be too many plain chairs lined up, and the long corridor dotted with closed doors looks more like an interrogation center than anything good. Ok, not that visiting the dentist is harmless, but I had a strange sense that I should leave, and that if something bad happened I would remember that I hadn't left when my instinct told me to. Clearly I was in a strange mood Thursday last week when I visited, because two smiling faces and the best dentist I've ever met worked on me. She told me things no one has told me (not american or scottish dentists) about grinding my teeth and a broken filling (ok this later could have happened recently). She showed me xrays and told me her recommendations. I'm heading back this week for the first part, which is some kind of guard to stop my teeth being worn down due to clenching (how was she to know?). Most importantly, I was not hurried in and out. She answered questions, she was knowledgeable and polite, and I felt like more than anyone before she cared what happened to my teeth. Thanks!

I am so glad that I registered with this dentist. I am particularly picky with dentists and…read morepreviously travelled to Glasgow (where I lived years ago) just because I liked my old dentist. Haymarket dental care is run by husband and wife team Charlotte and David who are both lovely and they have a team of dentists at the practice. My Dentist Lorna Burns is just fantastic! She talkes me through any procedures and options which leaves me at ease. The place itself is spotlessly clean even down to putting plastic covers on the handle of the dentists light above you. This is an NHS dentist but you can opt for paying extra for example paying to have a white filling rather than an amalgalm. There are two parking spaces at the front of the dentists which are free. I reccommended this dentists to two of my work colleagues who hadn't been to the dentists in years as they both had a fear of the dentist and both were reassurlngly and gently eased into it and both have overcome their fear and are pleased with the results. They text you a reminder the day before your appointment which ensures I never miss an appointment. very handy!

The dentist I saw regularly patronised, condescended and lectured me whilst I was being ministered to. He cruelly removed a tooth when I was 5 months pregnant, I was unable to take any painkillers other than paracetamol and when it became infected I was in AGONY. Obviously this dentist hadn't considered the consequences of his actions. I had a massive hole in a premolar waiting to be crowned for 3 FREAKING YEARS, something my current dentist fixed for me in one month! My partner also signed up to the practice with a different dentist and found him to be no better- do yourself a favour and steer well clear of this place.

I'm not sure if the equipment was properly sterilized, I tasted something on my tongue that reminded me of the taste of filler. I am seriously considering phoning the NHS or someone of authority who deals with inspections of these types of things. The dentist, no care taken, no concern for my comfort. I waited over half an hour to get seen at my allocated time, and when needing to book an appointment the receptionist waited 5 minutes, then the dental assistant came through, receptionist asking if the dentist was still writing up notes and that's why she can't do anything on her system, and the dental assistant merely said "Ah dinnie really ken" one more huff gone and a classic shrug of the shoulders before swaggering back to the room.... What a palava, and I'm never going back. Worst dental experience.

I can honestly say now that feeling that way was completely unnecessary as David and his team were absolutely fabulous. I would highly recommend them to anyone. The surgery is very modern, the treatments offered are excellent and the care given second to none.

I've been a patient at Morningside Dental Clinic for a number of years, and having had a wide range…read moreof treatments, I would like to say that the standards of professionalism, the treatment and care of their patients, and the quality of their work, is exceptional. I have experience of using other dentists, having travelled widely in the UK and Europe, and Morningside Dental Clinic are head and shoulders above them all. Some of my treatments involved specialised techniques, and they were all handled with the utmost of care, and with one over-riding philosophy - the patient comes first. They are, in my opinion, very highly recommended, and I have done so to several of my friends and colleagues, who are now patients of Morningside Dental Clinic. Mark Leggatt
