Avril RyderDental Wave Patient

Ryan YatesDental Wave Patient

“I absolutely 100% recommend Dental Wave. I was booked in on the day I rang. I was in a bad way. The receptionist on the phone was so kind and helpful. The dentist went way above expected care and treatment. She and the nurse were brilliant. Everything was explained properly and the after care perfect.”

Christine O'FarrellDental Wave patient

“Had a very positive new patient experience, from not seeing a dentist in a long time I was very anxious. Dr Beatrice was very warm and welcoming straight away, she was very gentle and extremely informative. She made me feel very calm and went through my dental plan. Am very happy that I chose the dental wave.”

Amy SaltDental Wave patient
