Ms Bala is great! Would highly recommend, very kind and is always very chatty and calming. During our appointments she continuously checks on how I am doing and is happy to stop if breaks are needed x

I’m usually not one to leave reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience. Unfortunately, I have had two unpleasant appointments with this dentist, both due to her unprofessional manner. During a previous visit, she made inappropriate comments about my teeth being yellow, (they really aren’t it was to try and get money of me) which my father formally complained about as I was a young girl who had just been made to have a new insecurity about apparently yellow teeth. At my most recent appointment, where I was complaining about my wisdom teeth biting my cheeks she again made a personal remark stating I had “chubby cheeks” and that’s probably why I was biting them (I understand this could be a correct anatomical reason however the way she said it was unprofessional whilst grabbing my cheek as she said it). She offered to file them down, but as a student nurse I wanted to check if there would be a charge before agreeing as I would need to save up for it if it was going to cost a lot. As I had tools in my mouth i waited until the end of the appointment to ask her the cost so I could get it booked in for next time as it was causing me pain. When I asked for clarification on the cost, she was dismissive and made me feel embarrassed for asking, refusing to give me a clear answer and stating that “you didn’t want that done” over and over again. It was only when the dental assistant (who was lovely and very professional) intervened that I learned the procedure was actually free. After the filing, the dentist appeared irritated and ended the appointment abruptly without offering a mouth rinse, leaving me feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. As someone who also works in healthcare, I value empathy, professionalism, and good communication — none of which I experienced during these visits. I will be requesting not to see this dentist again. I have been with friends forever and am used to a much higher level of patient interaction than what I have received with this specific dentist the past two visits. I am not happy.

I am very satisfied with my doctor. Although I usually find it difficult to feel comfortable with doctors I don’t know, he managed the situation very well — professional, polite, and with a good sense of humor. The whole team is polite and welcoming. However, I would suggest reviewing the current policy regarding appointment cancellations or rescheduling, as unexpected situations can happen to anyone.
