Very friendly staff and my teeth feel very well looked after.
The skill of Mr Mark Burrell and his assistant along with their jovial conversation helped me relax. With updates for me on the procedure, apart from minor discomfort, the initial extraction procedure was virtually pain free. In fact, my most pleasant dental experience to date.
This is a testimony to say how brilliant my treatment has been with Martin Ritchie at Queens Cross Dental Practice Aberdeen. From the moment I phoned in distress, to the moment when I now feel my life reclaimed. Every aspect of my experience has been positive. My dentist helped me overcome deep rooted fears by trusting the process and being informed. I could trust myself letting go of denial and it has been liberating to let the unspoken out in the open. The major work carried out on my teeth was painless and my recovery rapid. The compassion and human element I found there made it all possible. My new teeth are perfect, I love them. Thank you for everything.
Queens Cross Dental Practice is a lovely practice. I have always found the staff very professional, from reception, hygienist and dentists. I came to the practice as I wanted to make sure I had three hygienist appointments and very quickly found that they are caring and I have received a top-class service, so much so that my son and husband also attend.
My nine-year-old daughter became upset at the end of a dental appointment. The dentist, Martin Ritchie was very kind and Debbie the practice manager was fantastic. Debbie sat with my daughter and calmed her down and made her smile, which gave me a chance to have a proper conversation with Martin, much appreciated.
I always feel confident and less nervous visiting the dentist since I started coming to Queens Cross Dental practice and Nicky is one of the best hygienists I've seen.
Positive experience, all activity explained clearly and reassurance provided. Happy patient.
Extremely happy with my before and after. Very Professional.
Excellent care and service from Julie and the team. Excellent communication and discussion regarding all aspects of treatment and future planning. Great with the kids!
Excellent continuation of services during the pandemic, with a huge emphasis on safety!
I would recommend Julie to anyone as a dentist especially, if like myself, you are anxious in any way. She put me at ease and all the work carried out was completely painless. She went to great lengths to ensure I was relaxed and explained everything before she carried out any work. The practice was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful and I would recommend whole heartily to anyone.
Can't thank Julie enough for being so patient and understanding to a very nervous patient. After a few uncomfortable historic expenses, I'm so glad to have found her and will not go to any other dentist.
I have been a patient at Queens Cross for a number of years and it is a pleasure to visit the practice. From the warm welcome of Norma on reception to the dental care I have received from Julie and Nicole, I feel very confident that I'm receiving the best care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the practice to anyone considering joining.
Top of the pops! Lovely Dentists and great friendly service.
I had some work done by Julie and her team. The complete experience was so easy and enjoyable, no pain and great banter! Get your teeth checked.
Really happy with my treatment from Penny and the staff are really lovely. Will definitely recommend!
Queens Cross Dental is by far the friendliest, most professional and stress-free dental practice I have ever visited. Penny Thomas and Charlene made me feel completely at ease throughout what could have been a stressful and traumatic series of treatments. They made the process pain-free and even relaxing. The front of house team is super friendly and never too busy to chat. Shout-out to Debbie and Sarah. The best dental practice in Aberdeen by far!
Julie has been wonderful and so helpful. I have enjoyed coming to see her and watch my teeth change, so happy with the results!
I am very happy with my results and I can now smile and laugh confidently! I recommend Smilelign to anyone wanting to improve their smile. Thank you, Julie, and staff.
All staff are always lovely. Highly recommend Queens Cross Dental. Penny and Charlene are always lovely and make going to the dentist enjoyable.
My treatment from Penny has been excellent. I have a number of health challenges and she took considerable time and effort to ensure I was entirely comfortable with my treatment plan before beginning. I received teeth whitening treatment and I'm so pleased with the result and that I went ahead with it in the end. Penny is skilled and patient and has been empathetic to my circumstances throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is anxious about dental treatment due to poor health or other concerns and indeed to anyone who doesn't too!
Whitening can be an important part of a smile makeover. We always check the suitability of your teeth, as it may not be recommended for some patients with high sensitivity. It’s important to know that we may not be able to treat all of your teeth: whitening can’t alter the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers, for example. Your dentist can explain and suggest any options open to you.
We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.
Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.
