“I had the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist at Buckden Dental Clinic. The staff are all wonderful, from the receptionists to the nurses and dentists.

I’m also, regretfully, a smoker, which can feel embarrassing and shameful when speaking...

“The hygienist today is the best one I have ever been to. I just wanted to tell you the hygienist today is the best one I have ever been to. She explained what she was going to do before she started, and I didn’t get soaking wet like I did the last time I had it done with the water. Georgina was brilliant as always.”
