I used to vist a dentist in the City which meant that I had to make my way into town, park etc.. Emergency appointments generally needed a week lead time to be seen. I had been going to this dentist for about 5 years and needed an emergency appointment. A week later I turned up (after missing something at my daughter's school) only to be told that there was no appointment and no chance to be seen. Apparently I had spoken to the 'temp' receptionist the week before - but as there was no apology for any inconvenience, I left in disgust. A friend recommended Close Dental and I have not looked back.

Close Dental is a modern "village" practice. The staff are all happy and smiling and in the last 2-3 years that I have been a client, I have not seen any staff leaving. They get to know their customers and will bend over backwards to accommodate your needs (even the non dental related ones). Emergency appointments are usually dealt with that same day or within 24 hours. Sometimes I have rung and been told "Can you get here in 10 minutes?" Despite the busy-ness of the practice, it runs very efficiently (the wait time for regular appointments is never more than 10 minutes) and the girls always make you feel like you are their number one most valued client.

I bring my 4 children into see the lovely Dr Cate, whose friendly manner takes the stress and fear out of 'visting the dentist'.

It also helps that the practice is equipped with State of the Art technology so procedures are as minimally invasive as they can be.

You will probably find a "cheaper" dental practice around but you probably won't find better.
