Fantastic experience: I recently completed my Invisalign treatment with Dr Vivian,I’m absolutely thrilled with the outcome. From the initial consultation to the final check-up, the entire process was smooth, professional, and clearly explained. She transformed my smile in such a short space of time and was always at the end of the phone if I had any questions. All the staff are so nice and always greet you with a smile I highly recommend Dr Vivien to anyone considering Invisalign. Thanks sooo much to Vivian and her team!
Much appreciated…super result!
Fantastic experience: Called them Wednesday with a bad toothache they said come in the following morning. Needed a tooth extraction. I always had a phobia of going to the dentist but yesterday the team made sure I was comfortable and made sure the procedure was 100% pain free. Paul made sure during the extraction i was ok and have no pain. I won't be as nervous on my next dental visit with the team. They are all great.
Glad you felt somewhat relaxed. Appreciate review Adam!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, proffesional and affordable
Thank you Marco for taking the time to write review!
Fantastic experience: Got a next day appointment for a tooth extraction. Paul was fantastic as I am the world's most nervous dental patient.

Fantastic experience: Was with Dr. Vivien today and I am extremely happy with the results. She went above and beyond during the treatment, she clearly explained the treatment plan to me, she made sure, that the procedure was painless. I needed to get a crown, it arrived very quickly and fit perfectly. Highly recommend!
Thank you Fruzsina…lovely result!
Fantastic experience: Seen at short enough notice considering I wasn’t even a client of theirs. I was having a back tooth pulled and honestly it was that quick and easy that I didn’t even realise he was finished: D Recommended and deserved 5* review.
Thank you for review Larry…nice to get feedback!
Negative experience: Was with Dr Vivien today and it was the worst dental experience I have had. Rude and no communication at all. I left upset and not sure what she actually done! Wet collar from excess of water. Had to ask if I needed any further treatment. Will not be returning. I paid for a very unpleasant experience.
Dear Mary,
We wanted to follow up regarding your recent visits. During your initial consultation, we directed you to schedule the most urgent treatment, which was completed this week. However, we noted that you arrived over 15 minutes late on both occasions without an apology. While we did not address this at the time, we assumed there may have been valid reasons for your delays.
Additionally, our nurse experienced challenges with effective suctioning due to minimal opening, which is not typical, as we’ve had no issues with the equipment, which is less than three months old. Dr. Katona and the nurse attempted to communicate with you, but unfortunately did not receive a response.
We always strive to provide the best care and reassurance for our patients. We wish you all the best with your future treatments at your new dental practice.
Fantastic experience: I was in a huge amount of pain. I made the call at 10.15 on a Friday and by 12 I had a molar extraction. Paul was soo patient and reassured me it was going well. They did not over charge me either. I would highly recommend this practice
Hi Lynn, you did very well, good patient! Many thanks for review

Thanks so much for your review John!
Fantastic experience: Visited Pauls practice with my 10 year old son as an emergency in September 2020, without explaining Paul was able to find the tooth in question. After a 10 minute appointment the extraction was done. Couldn't recommend Paul enough my son was so comfortable during the whole process. Will definitely be using his practice again.
Thank you Eimear for your lovely review
