I am only half way through my treatment and will update at the end but wanted to share my appointment experience with Hygienist Sherene. Always a good start when you can tell someone is smiling despite a mask! It was painfree(obviously) and Sherene was sure I was aware of what she was doing throughout. She gave me lots of tips and as with the rest of the team put me at ease! The dental nurse (Irene?) was lovely too and they clearly liked working together which also made the visit more comfortable.

I can’t recommend this practice enough, hands down the best Dentist I’ve ever visited! Alisdair made me feel confident about the treatment and relaxed, and I usually feel very anxious in the chair! Treatment was carried out meticulously and pain free! Everyone is friendly, professional and a offer great standard of care. Updated - visited Shereen & Irene today for a Hygiene appointment and I'm again really pleased with both the treatment and results. Shereen was excellent and gave great advice, and I loved the charity donation made on my behalf - booked my next appointment already 🙂

I have not yet had an assessment, but was very impressed with my initial consultation with Leigh, who was extremely knowledgeable on all the options available to me and I felt very reassured after leaving the clinic. I am looking forward to beginning my treatment as I am pretty certain that all the staff will be very professional and do a good job. The actual clinic is also very comfortable and clean. So glad I tried this place! 🙂 I have now had my treatment with Ali and am very pleased with the outcome. Ali put me at ease and explained the whole procedure to me. I found the treatment absolutely pain free and delighted with the results. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone ....well deserved 5 stars!

I am so grateful to the team at Dentistry @no.3 for the whole experience I have received with my whitening and composite bonding. From the initial consultation with Leigh to the final result. I’m delighted with my smile and can’t thank Dr Ali enough. He knew exactly what I was looking for and made sure I was completely happy with every detail. The trial smile is fantastic and allows you to see what the finished result will look like. Even in my final appointments I have been able to share feedback on my teeth and if I wanted to make any changes however Dr Ali is amazing at what he does so fully trusted him. Would highly recommend dentistry @ no.3- professional, pain free and a brilliant team! Thanks so much for giving me confidence back! 😃

Just finished my dental treatment with Dentistry @ No.3. Everyone was very professional from start to finish. I can’t thank Ali and his team for the work they have done.I had composite bonding done and it has transformed my smile, they were all worn on one side from grinding my teeth. The results are brilliant!Ali pays close attention to detail and listens to clients feedback and gets the smile you both are happy with.Can not recommend Dentistry @ No.3Thanks,Jamie

Just finished my cosmetic treatment at Dentistry No 3. From my first appointment with Leigh, I was made to feel very valued. All my treatment was done by Ali who is a perfectionist and only proceeded until I was 100% happy. What I really loved was all my treatment was person-centred and I always left feeling reassured but most importantly I had 100% trust in Ali. First class service.

I have just completed treatment with Rebecca at Dentistry @ No3. I have had Invisalign for 3 months, followed by whitening then composite bonding to fix a chipped front tooth. Rebecca has made me feel at ease from beginning to end, listening to my concerns and providing solutions. I had been considering this treatment for years and I am so glad I went ahead with it. I am delighted with the results and would highly recommend Rebecca as a dentist and to anyone considering improving their smile.

From friendly reception staff to Ali, the dentist himself, I felt at ease. Being very nervous about the next steps for me, Ali was careful, explained everything, came up with a great plan and yes, I'm excited about getting my mouth sorted now.It just doesn't feel like visiting the dentist.

I cannot thank the team at Dentistry at no3 enough. From beginning to end, the process has been pain free and I’ve felt at ease the entire time. No anxiety, no worries and no stress. Dr Ali, made my smile dreams come true! He was incredibly friendly and explained the entire process. I cannot recommend enough and I think this is the first time ever, I’ve loved visiting the dentist!! Thanks to everyone! And a huge shout out to Dr Ali!!

Alisdair is by far the best dentist I have ever had and such a nice guy he talks you through everything. Before and during his work. Everyone I met at dentistry no3. Were all nice and friendly. I now actually enjoy going to the dentist. They make you feel better and look better with zero pain. So definitely a job well done. Thanks again.

The best dentist I've ever been to. Today i had 2 teeth extractions and a filling and Alisdair made me feel so comfortable, i didn't feel any pain. Alisdair took his time and stopped many times to make sure i was ok and got a rest. I'm really excited for my teeth journey and to see the final rest. Thanks Alisdair, from Shumaila 😊

I had Invisalign treatment for a year to straighten some very crooked teeth which I’ve wanted to sort out for a long long time. I can’t believe the result. It’s far better than I could have predicted. The care given by Alisdair throughout the process, and his finishing work, have produced an excellent yet natural result. The patient experience at this practice is as relaxed and informative as it could be, and they are sensitive to the needs of nervous patients. I recommend it highly for both routine and cosmetic dental care.

Have had extensive dental treatment at Dentistry No 3. Extremely happy with the results. The whole team were extremely helpful and made sure I was made aware of what was happening at every stage of my treatment.

From my very first visit with Leigh to my last appointment with Ali the whole team has been amazing. After finally plucking up the courage to go see about getting my smile back I am so glad I came here. To say I am happy is an understatement, I cant believe the results.... I now have to get used to smiling after years of hiding my teeth.Thank you so much 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’m so glad I visited Ally at Dentistry No 3, from my first appointment right to the treatment he was completely professional, and was very gentle, I’m blown away by my results and could not recommend him enough. Now half my friends and family have visited him also to get similar treatments done, definitely the best dentist I have ever been to and completely worthy of a 5 🌟

Recently visited Dentistry No 3 for a combination of composite bonding and composite veneers to cover a broken tooth and fix the shape of my front couple of teeth. Staff were all amazing especially Ally, couldn’t be any nicer. So late in writing my review but couldn’t recommend them enough, amazed with the results.

I recommend having adult braces fitted at Dentistry @No 3! My braces were removed today and I’m so happy with the end result. Because of lockdown, my treatment took longer than planned but it was definitely worth the wait. Alisdair is a fantastic dentist who explained my treatment plan thoroughly and put me at ease.

This place is magical, giving me the confidence to feel beautiful again! I could not be happier with my treatment, it was a big step to change my smile. I can tell you it’s 100% worth it, I will be returning to the practice for maintenance. Everyone is lovely and have done their best at every step! Ali took a genuine interest in getting to know me and that made me feel the most comfortable. Thank you to everyone in Dentistry at No 3 <3Ps if you are thinking about it, just do it!!

I would recommend dentistry at no 3 to anyone looking for a practice which is professional, friendly and amazing at what they do. Rebecca made me feel at ease and took the time to explain everything to me that my treatment would involve. Love the outcome of my treatment and I’m also glad to say it was pain free 😬, thanks again xxx

I have always had a fear of the dentist until I recently came to dentistry @ no 3 and I met rebecca. I had to get some quite invasive treatment which was surprisingly all pain free. Rebecca and her assistant made me feel so relaxed and explained everything she was doing. I never thought I would find myself looking forward to going to the dentist. Anyone who is frightened or apprehensive should definitely visit Rebecca at Dentistry @ No 3.

Can not recommend Dentistry at No 3 enough. I have spent years hating my smile and always dreading people getting the camera out... after my consolation I decided I would go for the hidden lingual braces and it is the best decision I have ever made. Everything about Dentistry at No 3 was fab. I was nervous about the dentist, but everything from the warm welcome received from Amy and Barbara on reception to the fantastic way Ali reassured me throughout my treatment was amazing. I am over the moon with my results and I really can’t thank Ali and his team enough for they have all done for me. Honestly you are all the best. Thank you so much!!!

A friend recommended dentistry at no.3 to me when I mentioned how self conscious I was feeling about my teeth and from the consultation right through to the final result I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever choosing dentistry at no.3 for my treatment.Ive had high speed braces to straighten my teeth and composite bonding to get the shape of tooth that I desired and have also had bleaching to give me a brighter smile.Ali told me the braces would take around 6 months but we had them off in around 4 which was a bonus!! The team are so inviting and professional, Ali explains everything he’s doing through the treatment and all of the aftercare thoroughly. So happy with my new smile!😁

Driving all the way up from the borders is so so worth it! With the team here they are amazing and every step of the way has been so professional. The staff are lovely and so so friendly - with every visit I’m getting closer to the smile I’ve always dreamed of🤩 5/5

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.

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!

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!
