Our Salisbury practice offers personalized Invisalign plans, including iTero 3D scanning for precise fit and faster results. Patients appreciate the removable design for eating and cleaning.

Report
As a new patient to this clinic and not a fan of dentist I obviously went there with a not the most positive frame of mind. However, I must say this is the best dentist I have ever been too in fact so good I needed to write this review. Biggest thanks goes to Karenn Helmnichne and her assistant for the amazing work & kindness that came with it. They were very informative, gentle, kind and understanding & in turn I felt no pain, discomfort and had few good laughs : If you looking for a new dentist and like myself "not a fan", try this place you will not regret it!

After years of awful dental phobia I can honestly say I nearly enjoy going to the dentist! Niamh and Rob make be feel in total control of my treatment and explain everything they are doing. They are so patient, give me lots of breaks and never make me feel silly. I've had some extensive work done over the last 12 months and I'm very happy with the outcome. I can't thank them and the whole team enough.

I had an appointment today and this is the first time in my life that I wasn't frightened to attend a dental appointment. My previous two visits completely put me at ease, and everything was explained in detail. All the staff are really helpful and friendly. Finding this dental practice has been a revelation, and although it may sound extremely gushing I'm so amazed that I have been able to calmly go to the dentist! Thank you Rob, Niamh and staff.

Report
Visited to have a tooth extracted. From the moment I arrived I was put at ease which is great considering I do not like going to the Dentist. Rob explained all the procedural and legal bits before starting the intitial process of the anastetic and preparation of the extraction. After about 10 minutes waiting in the chair and watching the fish on the TV above your head, I was ready for the extraction. Rob put some piece of equipment in my mouth and just about immediately removed the tooth without any pain, noise or feeling that your mouth was going to feel this tooth being ripped from it's roots. I just couldn't believe that the tooth had been taken out without any feeling what so ever. This really was "Gentle Dental" and would thoroughly recommend.
