I have been to the practice three times now and have always been made to feel very comfortable. The Covid measures in place are very straight forward and the business has adapted its processes to deal with the current environment. I’ve always been taken on time and my procedure has been made as comfortable as possible. The attention to detail and care given is second to none. I would definitely recommend this practice especially if you have any concerns visiting the dentist. I’d specifically recommend Alisdair.

Hi there!I have had to have treatment yesterday, 22 July '20, at No3 Dental clinic.Have had initial photographs xrays and impressions prior to my having 4 front upper teeth removed. I can honestly say, i felt NO pain during this procedure and even the numbing injections were painless!My Dentist, Alistar, took his time to loosen teeth rather than just pull them so that it protected my bone and gums. After the extractions, i had few dissolvable stitches but felt nothing at all!! He then took time to make sure my comfort denture was perfectly held in place over the extraction site before i left. Having had a lot of treatments done both NHS and Privately, i have no problem recommeding him as the VERY BEST Dentist ive ever had work on my teeth.His attention to detail and to making sure i was painfree and comfortable at all times, is FIRST CLASS!!Also, i must add, that the comfort denture is more like a finished denture!! Better than any ive had made before and I cannot wait until i get my new teeth in about 6 weeks time.Im writing this, the morning after and ive no pain at all.To be honest, ive said that he should charge more for his professionalism expertise and care. Also received a call this morning to check that im ok...and im going again tomorrow for a quick checkup.Whats the saying, You get what you pay for!! Well ive had the Rolls Royce treatment...If youre afraid or nervous, i would HIGHLY recommend Alistar, brilliant Dr of Dentistry.Id also like to mention the staff at this clinic. Leigh was the first person i spoke with and very understanding and intuitive...helped me immensely and put me at ease, no question went unanswered.Barbara and Amy also are lovely and very caring thiughtful people. Barbara called this morning, to make sure i was still feeling well after my treatment.If ive got any names wrong, forgive me. I will correct at later time.Mrs Nori Robertson

I had a check up appointment this morning. As I am in the high risk group, my appointment was at 9.00 before anyone else had been in for treatment. I felt safe and well looked after. Thanks to Alastair and the rest of the staff for being so supportive and caring.

Honestly can’t recommend this place enough! Very welcoming, Such a lovely staff team. Ali is the dentist here and he is by far the best, nothing was a problem. Anytime I asked questions throughout the whole process including lockdown they got back to me straight away! My results have been so much better than expected! Absolutely over the moon!

Can not recommend this place enough, before coming here I had an absolute fear of the dentist and my teeth were in a bad bad way. Decided to bite the bullet and do something about it, from the first chat on the phone right through treatment I was always made to feel at ease and never judged (I feel like some dentists you visit are judgemental and can be quite patronising) never ever felt that here just always got amazing advice, from the whole team. Best thing I’ve done in a very long time, don’t hesitate pick up the phone and get booked in !

The whole experience from first consultation with Leigh the smile adviser through to Laura & Ali for the final fitting was very professional. The treatment plan was explained through every step of the way and the final fitting definitely put a smile on my face. Worth every penny!

First of all I’d like to mention how fantastic the care from Ali and the staff have shown me. The work I received was amazing and worth every penny, for the first time in adult life I can now smile with confidence. If you’re looking for work done please consider this dentist as I seriously can’t believe how good my teeth look now. 😁Kerry.

Ali is a fantastic dentist. After knocking myself out at the skatepark I came round to find I had also knocked out most of my front teeth. It was not a good look and I wished I had worn my mouthguard. My teeth were broken and turned a horrible colour, it was awful, I couldn't smile and always tried to cover my mouth. When I first met Ali he took time to talk to me and looked at past photos to see my natural smile, he even made a model of what my new teeth would look like so I could make any changes. I didn't need to, they were awesome! I was so happy when I left with my new front teeth, I feel so much better, more confident and can get back to laughing with my mates. Thanks Ali

I can’t recommend this dentist enough. Just had a front tooth implant done. I was very worried you just never know what it’s going to look like as it will be with you for years. But it’s amazing I’ve had a cap on my front tooth since I was 12 and this is the best my teeth have looked. They make you feel more confident with every step the care and attention that goes into it...making sure it’s a perfect match for you. . I looked at so many places some were cheaper options. But just goes to show you get what you pay for. Was worth every penny! I’m so glad I went here. Thanks you so much I can properly smile in pictures now 😀

Only been for a consultation thus far. Very impressed with the level of customer care nonetheless. Following up; I am now near the end of my treatment. The care and service have been excellent. I am very pleased with my treatment. I would highly recommend Dentistry@No 3.Following Up:I have now all but completed my treatment. I would like to thank Alistair and his wonderful team for making my experience of visiting the dentist extremely pleasant and, as advertised, ‘Pain Free’. The customer care I received, from my initial enquiry to the end of treatment, was fabulous. I am extremely pleased with absolutely every aspect of the treatment I received. Thanks again 😃👍😁Dr Eddie RocksKirkcaldy

I have been to many dentists over the years and No3 has to be the best to date. Dr Alisdair is truly amazing and has transformed my smile. He has given me a natural look and the whole process was comfortable and completely pain free. Everyone at the practice is so friendly and warm. I have no doubt that I will continue using this practice for many years to come.

My husband had extensive treatment and was very happy with the service provided by Alisdair. It was, as is claimed by them, virtually pain free and as a result I decided to have some cosmetic work done. I have attended NHS practices all my life and have always been quite anxious, more so as I get older. My appointments at No. 3 have been a totally different experience. Any procedures are fully explained with help of photographs taken and shown on a screen. There was no pressure to have work done, the final decision was mine. Alisdair made me feel very much at ease and has totally transformed the appearance of my teeth. I no longer feel embarrassed at their appearance. As a thank you for choosing them, they are also contributing towards several good causes from helping children with dental hygiene and malnutrition to assisting families following natural disasters. I am now a patient at Dentistry @ No. 3.

Exceptional service all round: from being welcomed by the kind and courteous reception staff, the pleasant waiting room and being treated by Dr. Masterson (Rebecca), who was great and made me feel at ease. I will definitely be recommending Dentistry @ No 3 for others looking for pain free dentistry.

Required a crisis appointment, was seen with sensitivity and although the issue could not be resolved on the day, instead of have me come back the following day, I was directed to a nearby lab and 2 hours later... Missing tooth no longer missing!! Thank you so much for preserving my dignity! Cant wait to return to get the smile back in my life.. Never thought I'd say that about a dentist!

I am one of those people who have been terrified of the dentist since childhood, even to the point of deliberately missing appointments!No longer! I have been going to dentistry at number 3 for 6 years without any problem. Absolutely first rate personnel who provide pain free treatment as promised.

Dentistry @ No 3 has changed not only my smile but my whole confidence! I no longer laugh and cover up my mouth with my hand. No pain. Everyone was so friendly and Ali is second to none! Even down to the complimentary toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathroom in case you've forgotten to brush! Very professional and a great touch! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Laura

I had the Best experience with dentistry@no3. I couldn’t fault anything. I wanted to change the shape of my teeth ever since I was younger and so I had been researching different dentists in which I would really trust. I chose this practice due to the reviews I had read and the great consultation I had had before my treatment began. Driving from down in the Scottish borders was 100% worth my time and my smile is even better than I could of ever imagined! I would 110% recommend Ali to anyone. All staff are so professional and inviting and you get amazing results. I am over the moon with mine!

My first time visiting was on Saturday and I will definitely be back. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming and I did not feel like my appointment was rushed at any point. I was seen by Dr Alisdair Colquhoun who made me feel at ease and who fixed my teeth perfectly. 10/10 for every staff member at Dentistry @ No 3. 😊

I can’t thank Ali and the whole practice at Dentistry at No 3 enough. I have been extremely unhappy with my smile for as long as I can remember and it has really affected my confidence and daily life. I am really glad I choose this practice to fix my smile and I am extremely happy with the results. The treatment was totally pain free and everyone was very helpful. Any worries I had they were there and any reassurance I needed was given. I highly recommend Dentistry at No 3. Thanks guys for helping me on this journey.

They practice what they say.. Pain free dentistry. Just had 5 teeth extracted and felt nothing at all. The whole team are very friendly and professional. I am always nervous at the dentist but at Dentistry@No3 they go the extra mile to put the patient at ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you are nervous of dentists. 5/5 rating.

I have been a client with Dentistry at No 3 and their wonderful dentists and support staff since Alan Carter was originally in Dalgety Bay. My smile is the result of Alan’s fabulous work and now, his successor, Ally! Ally has also, in the last few months, managed to save my teenage son’s front four teeth after a cycle accident, we are both so grateful. I’ve lived in America, Australia and the UAE and have always returned to Dentistry at No 3. Your teeth are so important and special, having the team at Dentistry at No 3 makes sure your smile is in professional and exceptional hands!

Received a first class service! My son contacted Dentistry @ No 3 after having a fall and knocking his teeth. Our own dentist didn't see this as an emergency but Dentistry @ No 3 did. They fitted him in that day (bearing in mind that he was not registered with them) and gave him an outstanding service from start to finish! They were patient, friendly and understanding, I cannot recommend them enough. Since then both my daughter and I have changed to Dentistry @ No 3 and haven't looked back! Rebecca made us feel at ease and neither of us are dreading going to the dentist! My appointment with Laura (hygienist) was really informative, she spent time with me answering all sorts of questions. I definitely made the right choice changing to Dentistry @ No 3.

I had just moved over from Canada and needed dental work. Rebecca treated my cavities and it was the most painless procedure I’ve ever had done! She used specialized needles and I mean it when I say I felt nothing! Rebecca and her staff gave me a very warm welcome to Scotland! Can not recommend enough, especially if you have a fear of the dentist like I do! Will definitely be going back!

Having a broken bridge I was extremely upset as my usual dentist said I would have to go for implants or dentures which was my worst nightmare as nothing else could be done to rectify the problem . . I spent time on Google to find someone who could assist as I was not for wearing dentures . I got an appointment at Dentistry at No 3 . I got to see Alisdair Colquhoun who made me feel very relaxed and he said he would do his best and not to worry . I put my trust in him and after a few appointments I came out with a new bridge . He spent a long time on my tooth and yesterday he gave me the mirror to view the final result . - I was rather emotional . This man isn’t just a dentist , he is a magician and I highly recommend him . Thankyou so much Alisdair . I will continue to travel from Perth to Dunfermline for my dental treatment . All the staff are lovely and very professional - one extremely happy lady - Thankyou !
