Check out this 5-star review from one of our more nervous patients:
”I had an exceptional experience with Dr Mark Rice-Jones at The Dental Centre, Oakdale.
As an extremely nervous patient, I was dreading my visit to The Dental Centre as I had to have several fillings and a wisdom tooth extraction. From my very first appointment, I felt at ease in their calm, welcoming environment. I could tell the team truly understood an anxious patient, making me feel comfortable and reassured, which made the entire experience so much easier than I could have ever imagined.
Mark was so patient and gentle, explaining each part of the process in a way that really helped alleviate my anxiety. The actual procedures were done with such care, I barely felt any discomfort as he used techniques that made everything painless. The staff were kind and understanding, taking extra time to ensure I was comfortable every step of the way. I was so relieved and happy about how smooth everything went.
If you’re someone who feels anxious or nervous about going to the dentist, especially for something like a wisdom tooth extraction, this is the place to go! They truly understand how to create a comfortable, stress-free experience. Thank you, Dr Mark Rice-Jones, for changing how I feel about dental visits! I cannot recommend you highly enough!
