Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Stephen's since before my children were born - now 16 and 18 and both lifelong patients too. The care and attention we have received is second to none. Our dental health and wellbeing really matters to Stephen and the team and they are always willing to go above and beyond. The reception team and dental hygienists are superb and will make every effort they can to accommodate busy diaries. Thank you to all the Slateford dental care team!

Fantastic experience: Im so happy I chose Slateford Dental Care among the multitude of practices available. Not only have I gotten over my extreme fear of dentists, but Kerry puts me so much at ease that im not clock watching about the amount of time I spend in the chair. Not only am I ecstatic about the dental work done so far, but it has certainly increased my confidence in smiling in social situations whereas before I never showed my teeth out of sheer embarrassment. I couldn't be more enthusiastic about this practice, and in particular Kerry.

Neil Martin 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot praise the practice highly enough. I normally see Chris who has made a wonderful job with my teeth. Gentle, informative and highly skilled, he’s managed to repair with artistic flair some teeth that eventually will need crowns. His assistant is equally proficient and I always feel relaxed and comfortable with them. Alison and her assistant make my hygienist visits a pleasure and the front desk staff are amazing. Finding appointments is always difficult in a busy practice but they always pull out the stops and watch out for cancellations. All in all great place to visit and get the best treatment.

Paulina Bruzda 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Logan to replace a crown, and I can’t express enough how impressed I am with their exceptional service. After seeing multiple other dentists who were either unwilling or unable to take on the task, Dr. Logan stepped up and handled the procedure with incredible professionalism and care. As someone who has a deep fear of needles and injections, I’ve always dreaded dental procedures. But Dr. Logan made the whole experience surprisingly comfortable. The anesthetic injection, which I was dreading, was completely painless. I barely even felt it, which I never thought would be possible! Throughout the procedure, Dr. Logan was incredibly gentle, patient, and reassuring. They took the time to explain each step, making sure I felt at ease the entire time. The crown replacement was flawless, and I’m beyond happy with the results. I truly appreciate the level of expertise and care provided by Dr. Logan and nurse Lauryn. If you’re looking for a dentist who goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and well taken care of, I highly recommend Dr.Logan and Slateford Dental Care. They’re absolutely the best!

Fantastic experience: I have always had a great deal of anxiety when visiting the dentist due to some childhood dental and orthodontic experiences. I’ve been with Slateford Dental for a couple years now and every visit is exceptional. This practice is phenomenal with caring for its patients, especially those of us who are anxious; they are always incredibly professional and yet kind and caring about you as a person, and not just your teeth/mouth! They have state of the art equipment and practices, and they always take the time to listen to what’s happening in your life and health and give recommendations that are attainable to treat those things. They also offer a wide range of services for health and cosmetic purposes! Chris and Alison in particular have been amazing, and I’m grateful for their expert care and compassionate, professional service.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending the surgery for more than 30 years and over this time I’ve been seen/treated by several dentists and hygienist. Each one has been extremely professional and have been supported by a very conscientious team of nurses and reception staff who always put you first. The fact that I have still used them after moving away from Slateford over 20 years ago is how highly I regard this practice

Duncan King 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been with Stephen for many years now. Prior to that, I had not been to a dentist for a long time, and I was really very nervous about treatment. Stephen has been by far the best dentist I have ever been treated by. His manner is very reassuring, he is very considerate, and his communication is excellent. My oral health has massively improved through the treatment I have received at Slateford Dental Care, and I am no longer nervous about going to the dentist. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Audrey Cassels 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: "I've been a patient of Stephen Harrison for years and cannot recommend the practice highly enough, from the moment you walk through the door, you're met with a warm welcome. The team goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease. Stephen is an exceptional dentist - highly professional, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly. I recently had to have a bit of work on my front teeth, the surface felt uneven (probably due to erosion from soft drinks!). The results are absolutely beautiful - natural-looking and beyond my expectations. Whether it's a routine check-up or more complex dental work, I know that I can trust the outcome.
