I have had a really positive experience at The Row Dental. The reception staff are always so lovely, welcoming and kind. Dr Carol Tait was wonderful throughout my treatment — so kind and reassuring, and she explained everything clearly. I felt very well looked after and would highly recommend the practice and Dr Tait.

Always a great experience at The Row, the team are really knowledgeable and make you feel instantly at ease. Would highly recommend Dr Slaine and her team for Invisalign and composite bonding. I’m delighted with the results!

Had a chip in my front tooth that needed to be fixed, and I was terrified on the process (would my smile change, would it hurt), but dr Zoe was amazing. Super quick, comfortable and no difference to my smile!

The Row is brilliant. After several years of thinking about Invisalign, I finally went for it here. Zoe has been excellent and so great at making sure my plan was just right. To top it off, Annette provided some of the best dental hygiene care I’ve had in years and helped with some troublesome gums. Couldn’t recommend The Row more highly, everything has been lovely down to the reception staff as well! Thank you.

I saw Anastasija Malove and Nancy for my dental clean and it was the most thorough and informative appointment I've ever had. Thank you both for your kindness and professionalism!

I’ve been going to The Row Dental for the last few months, including getting my smile sorted in time for my wedding, and I’ve had such a good experience. Everyone I’ve seen has been lovely, friendly and professional, and I’m really happy with everything. The practice itself is beautiful too. Would definitely recommend.

I have bi-annual hygiene appointments with Annette who is incredibly understanding and sympathetic of my anxiety and nervousness of dental procedures. The sessions are quick and painless and my teeth feel fantastic after. My hygiene scores have also improved since seeing Annette and my gingivitis has cleared up from the education she provides during sessions. I highly recommend!
