Dentistry @ No 3

4.9

Based on 496 reviews

I would 100% recommend Dentistry @no3. Before going I was terrified of the dentist , i was always trying to hide my teeth because i was embarrassed and thought i would be judged, after reading all the online reviews I decided to go along and speak to Leigh . She made me comfortable and never once felt I was being judged. We went through a few treatments. I decided to go for dental implants, and right from the start Ali was great , talked me through every procedure and made me feel comfortable . The whole process was pain free , and I am no longer afraid of the dentist , I can’t thank not only Ali but everyone that work there enough , I now have a smile again and it has giving me some of my confidence back.

Anya M.

Why I recommend Dentistry @ No 3After spending a small fortune over the better part of a decade to maintain my teeth, I started to loosing teeth, affecting my smile, and causing me to suffer from considerable pain when eating, even with increased routine and prescribed dental care. So, it was time to consider other options and after considerable research, I opted for dental implant surgery and found a true specialist in Dentistry @ No 3. On consultation I was examined fully using the latest dental, diagnostics, techniques, and technology, which along with Dr Ally’s considerable expertise determined I was a suitable candidate for dental implants. And, with step by step treatment planning, precision 3D dental implant modelling, phased procedures and healing time, my smile would be returned to me, and eating would be a pleasure again.My journey with Dentistry @ No 3From start to finish my treatment and experience was fantastic, incredible, and life changing. All thanks to the entire team, who are so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Each treatment was reviewed prior to the next, all (and any) questions and concerns were acknowledged and resolved, prior to, or during treatments - with genuine and professional care to minimize anxiety, pain or discomfort.I feel so lucky to have found Dentistry @ No 3 and hold the deepest gratitude in my heart for their kindness and expertise.Thank you so very much to Ally, Leigh and all the extended team it’s been SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.

raymond@cls.info L.

I’m typically a very nervous patient, however the team here have always made me feel at home. Such a relaxed atmosphere with such professional staff who do their best to make you feel welcome and at ease. They have definitely restored my faith in dentists and I’ll be going now on a regular basis.

Kirsty was absolutely wonderful, cheerful, funny, and chatty. Hannah her assistant was lovely too. Always love my visits to Dental Hygienist appointments

Sylvia B.

Life Changing Treatment!At the end of 2023 I was hit with a really nasty abscess / infection at the front of my mouth which required a lot of dental work. With a bit of research I came across Dentistry @ No. 3 and decided to make an enquiry. After a welcoming call from the receptionist the journey started and I was booked in for a consultation with Leigh. After a great chat with her my case was passed onto Ali who took over from there.From the initial scans, explaining in detail the plan of action and the treatment itself Ali was brilliant. It was a long journey with some intense appointments but Ali and the wonderful team couldn’t have been nicer. My treatment included teeth extractions, bone grafting and dental implants.My teeth have always been an insecurity of mine so the final result was more than I could have hoped for and more. After two implants and crowns successfully installed you’ve changed my smile for the better so thank you again 🙂

James C.

Just started going here and I must say the , service is awesome very professional, everyone knows there job and very calm relaxed and inviting fantastic place to go

James M.

Grateful thanks to Ali who persevered to get me the perfect match front tooth implant. Every step of the process was a comfortable and pain free experience and I now love my smile. Something I haven't been able to say for many years !

Linda D.

Outstanding, everything explained in detail and made to feel relaxed and part of the process. Highly recommend No3. Pain free experience despite a slightly tricky extraction prior to implant. The end result was above expectations and as a side note the cost was 40% less than I had been quoted from other dental practices.

Andrew T.

Being someone who was terrified of the dentist for the majority of my life, I can’t thank the team here enough for making me feel comfortable and safe. I am no longer a nervous wreck before my appointments and my smile confidence has massively improved. Would recommend to everyone but especially anxious patients as the team here are with you every step of the way!

Caitlin H.

Was so anxious but Lee made me feel at ease, he talked me through what was going to happen and checked in with me through the procedure. Feel.less anxious for my next appointment 😊

yvonne M.

Dentistry @ No3 is the best dentist I’ve been to. I now feel relaxed and confident going to the dentist. Everyone is lovely, polite, calming and helpful. Beautiful building too. Highly recommend!!

Kerry P.

I had an appointment with Rebeccca to replace an amalgam filling for composite (for aesthetic reasons). After a lot of analysis Rebecaa recommended not to proceed but provided a number of work arounds. A lot of dentists would have proceeded with the original plan regardless with little thought of potential repercussions.This is a great dental practice and the staff are so professional. thoroughly recommend.

Sara

Great practice, friendly and professional. Would totally recommend them. I had a gum issue that was giving me terrible pain, emergency appointment arranged that day. Rebecca treated me with extreme care. Delighted with the outcome. On the road to recovery. Thank you to all the staff for the excellent care and attention. Ian

ian D.

Friendly and caring atmosphere. Great dental skills resulting in me having an almost full set of functioning teeth for the first time in a long time with no pain involved. Thank you

Rose H.

The care and professionalism demonstrated by this practice is fantastic. For the first time in my life, I feel total confidence in my dentist and have no fear of treatments.

Evelyn G.

Dentistry @ No 3 have been a successful participant in what was a challenging task with my dentistry in that my bite was breaking teeth. After a period of time , latterly Alisdair Colquhoun came up with a plan and executed it excellently, with a very visible difference and a relatively quick solution forthcoming , which I am pleased with , there was a fair bit of work including full mouth scans and photographs along the way to insure some success. They know Dentistry.

alan C.

The work done by Dentistry at No 3 has totally changed my life. My front teeth which I knocked out many years ago were replaced with crowns. Further work including general cleaning and whitening was also done. The whole experience was completely pain free, completely easy, and with several payment plans, completely affordable. I was so impressed by the work I have continued with Dentistry at No3 as an ongoing dental patient.Ed

Dr Hispin C.

Rebecca was so gentle and by far I had the best experience getting my bridge preparation done. She explains everythingso you're aware if everything that she is doing. Definitely pain free

Irene D.

From start to finish the treatment I received was second to none. Ali is a genius. All staff are exceptionally friendly and put me at ease. Definitely lives up to the “pain free” title. Thanks so much.

Annette M.

Great dental practice,Was just there for a enforced ....I mean needed check up :P The who practice knows how stressed I get at the thought of being there and they do everything in their power to make it as easy as possible.Want to thank them all for all they do to make it as comfortable as possible for us true dental phobes..

Amerififer

Seen right on time and no discomfort when visiting the hygienist who done an amazing detailed clean and polish. Examination was detailed and all questions answered. The best dentist I have visited and won’t be changing. Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. 5 plus stars

The D.

Really happy to have found Dentistry @ No3 .Kirsty is very professional all my hygiene visits are very thorough.& great advice with going forward on careI tend to be a bit nervous of dental work but Kirsty & Irene make you feel so relaxed a great teamThank you

Elizabeth C.

First time with Rebecca. I am really anxious when it cones to dentist.Rebecca and her team made me feel at ease.The best dentist I have been to. If like me you are a nervous patient, don't hesitate to get in touch with these guys.I honestly cannot praise them enough

Margaret D.

As always with Dentistry @No 3, there is absolute professionalism and skill with zero pain. I had some subtle composite bonding which helped even out my smile. Rebecca was fantastic and so very talented! Thanks again for a great experience.

Victoria C.

I always have a great experience when visiting for my dental appointments. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and they are always prompt. Nothing is too much for them and they always have a smile on their faces. Best decision I have ever made switching to Dentistry @ No 3!

Melody D.

Highly recommend No 3 Dentistry. I had a long appointment with Rebecca today and I initially felt very nervous. Rebecca makes you feel relaxed and treatment was totally pain free. She explains everything she is going to do and explains everything she has done when she is finished. Rachael who was working with her was also very professional. Thank you team.

Margaret W.

I highly recommend Dentistry @ No.3, especially Rebecca. I was unhappy with my smile and nervous about visiting the dentist due to past experiences. From start to finish, Rebecca was exceptional. She took the time to listen to my concerns, ensuring I was comfortable and truly at ease throughout the process. Thanks to her care and the welcoming team at Dentistry @ No.3, I can now smile with confidence and don’t feel scared about dental visits. I couldn’t be more grateful!

Jordan D.

Having broken a tooth I received an appontment the next day with Ali. The tooth was rebuilt painlessly and I was out of the practice in 15 minutes with a perfect tooth! Ali and his staff were friendly, efficient and professional - it made my day!

Dave M.

Absolutely amazing experience with dentistry @ no3 ! I got my Icon Treatment back in March this year (they still look exactly the same from when getting them first done). Rebecca made me feel very comfortable by talking me through everything so I was informed and happy with my treatment. They are very catering towards you, but also informing you of the treatments best suited for you, keeping your best interest in mind. Rebecca was able to give me the best option for my teeth with stunning results, but at an exceptionally fair price. I had a fluoride issue with my teeth so they had white and yellow spots on them. Originally I was meant to get composite bonding, but my issue was that I still wanted my teeth to look like my own teeth, I expressed my concern to Rebecca, she then suggested Icon Treatment for me. The icon treatment has left my teeth looking fabulous with no more white and yellow spots. I now have my desired teeth that look very natural, but have gave me that bit more confidence in myself. Such beautiful, lasting results! I am so in love with my teeth! Thank you so much to the exceptionally talented Rebecca Masterson and the rest of the team at Dentistry @ no3! Truly a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much,Amélie Muirhead

Amelie M.

Rebecca was lovely spoke me through all the procedures put me at ease definitely a good experience for someone afraid of dentists can’t rate them highly enough

Agnes B.

Next step in a long, but worthwhile process, to replace some of my teeth with implants. Installation of two implants today. Well planned, well prepared and a successful process. Excellent results.

Ian O.

Always a positive experience.Saw the Dentist today for a small filling , it was a painless experience and she was very professional and friendly,as are all the staff.

Cherry A.

Two implants carried out perfectly with care and detailed explanations through every step of the process. Attention to detail, wonderful equipment and technology and an experienced, confident and reassuring team. Excellent.

Raymond P.

Alister the dentist and his staff took good care of meHe explained everything he was going to doVery efficient in his workOutcome very pleased with the end results

James O.

Another quick but very efficient and comfortable dental appointment. Alastair makes the process very easy and I always leave with any issues resolved and minimal fuss.

heather W.

So, my whole experience was magnificent. Why, the two young ladies listened to my concerns, what I'm looking for, answered all my questions clearly and explained everything that's involved from start to finish.I never once felt there was a time rush, they just made me feel very relaxed and comfortable.So, while talking the whole process through one lady took note of all the important things I mentioned for future reference which I thought was a brilliant way of not having to go through it time and time again 😀.They also printed off two different type of procedures based on my preferences showing the costs. Of course these cost sheets will be different for everyone.All in all the whole experience was worth it. Because of this I will be going ahead with my treatment.I can only recommend Dentistry @ No 3 on this experience but I am convinced my future visits will be just as good.

Sylvia D.

Another excellent appointment carried out by Ali and his team, friendly and professional service as soon as you arrive,Appointment carried out in relaxed friendly professional mannerEverything explained clearly and you’re kept fully informed about how your treatment is going and how the next phases are planned out too

sean R.

Cant explain the ease of my treatment over a year so happy with the results broke a front tooth and had implant. Have to say no pain just a little discomfort so thank you so pleased.

Elaine F.

I’ve just finished my dental treatment using invisilign and having my teeth straightened and I am so happy with the transformation. I would highly recommend dentistry no 3 .

Seonaid W.

So it was my first visit to see Ali and his staff. On entering the setting was fresh, clean and modern looking. Stark contrast to my normal dentist in an NHS setting. I arrived and was greeted at the reception, name checked and ask to take a seat in the room across the hall. Comfortable seating, not that I had a lot of time to enjoy it. No sooner was I seated and Ali was in the room and showing me the way to the consulting room. Here I met 2 more members of staff and sat down.Ali started the consultation and it was very in depth. From a technical, explanation of actions and procedures view point. I had X-rays, CT scan, full mouth photographing done. All was explained in easy to follow way, without using a lot of technical words.I will receive a review of my visit to see which way my treatment will go. But from this first visit, I think I will be in good hands.There is steps outside to navigate and a threshold to get over. If you have a disability which could hinder movement, you can gain access to the dentist, but you may need assistance. I didn’t see a ramp, so you may have to ask

Chris H.

My experience at no 3 dentistry was faultless from start to finish.Rebecca made me feel at complete ease with her friendly manner, was always able to answer any questions/queries I had and spoke me through my whole experience both before and during my appointments.I would recommend them to anyone.

Toni B.

Fantastic service from both Kirsty and Irene who were very attentive, listened to my concerns and explained everything I needed to know and how to improve even further in my dental hygiene.

Catherine T.

Always feel relaxed when I visit Dentistry @ No3 the amazing staff are all so friendly & welcoming & make you feel at ease from the moment you step in the front door.

Maureen M.

I have just finished dental treatment with Rebecca at dentistry @ no3 and could not recommend enough. I first saw treatment coordinator Leigh to discus what was available in terms of straightening my teeth, this was a great sit down chat where she gave me all the information, rough prices and time scales.I then saw Rebecca for a clinical assessment where we decided on Invisalign, some whitening and composite bonding. It is definitely a ‘trust the process’ but I fully put my trust in Rebecca and it paid off massively. She is a true professional, as is everyone I encountered in the surgery. She listened to all of my concerns and laid out the best path to get my smile exactly how I wanted; I can now smile with confidence and have never felt happier with my smile. I would fully recommend Rebecca and dentistry @ no3 to anyone looking to get dental treatment.

Ruth D.

First initial appointment and I was really impressed at how friendly and informative Leigh was. No hard sell, I feel I'll be in control of the process and so far really happy.

Sally C.

I have been a nervous patient for many years following a bad experience with a hygienist previously. I cannot recommend Dentistry@no3 highly enough! I no longer dread my quarterly appointments and no more death gripping of the arms of the chair! Laura is an absolute star. *Laura unfortunately was off sick today and my stand in was outstanding! There was a time when I would have turned on my heel and fled at the suggestion of another hygienist.. not now! Still scared, but well done, Dentistry at No 3 for finding such a good fit!

Marjorie T.

My consultation was thorough and detailed, highlighting current and potential future dental issues. My Dentist made me comfortable and explained any dental procedures in depth leaving no grey areas.

Kevin C.

From my first consultation, until my treatment was complete, I have not one negative comment to say about my dentist Lee, the hygienist and all staff involved in my care. I felt listened to and at ease at all times. The treatment was as described - pain free. I am glad I have finally found a practice and dentist with caring staff who take the time to give full examinations, explanations and treatment. 10/10!!
