Fantastic experience: Justyna put me at ease as I am not good at the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Dr Antonopoulos is the best dentist we have had in Edinburgh. We have had some really bad experiences with previous dentists, but he immediately managed to make us feel safe, in good hands. He is professional, polite, will explain everything and he is very patient with quirky patients like myself. My wee boy loves him too. The reception staff are also very polite and helpful. Well done, and thank you all!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous, all great Antonio's is so reassuring, great dentist, see you next year.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a wisdom tooth extracted, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of professionalism and care I received. From the moment I arrived, the dentist Antonios Antonopoulos made me feel at ease with a calm and reassuring demeanor. The procedure itself was handled with incredible precision and gentleness — I was genuinely surprised by how smooth and painless the experience was, even if it was a difficult extraction. What truly stood out was the extra attention given to ensuring my comfort every step of the way. It’s clear that this dentist takes great pride in their work and genuinely cares about their patients’ well-being. I’m extremely grateful for the exceptional care I received and highly recommend Antonios to anyone seeking a skilled, thoughtful, and professional dental experience.
Fantastic experience: As always, the staff at Newkirkgate Dental Care were friendly and professional, keeping me informed of the procedure every step if the way.

Fantastic experience: I had a lovely experience at Newkirkgate Dental Care today. I had a hygiene appointment with Diana and her service was exceptional. She has been so gentle in her practice and made me feel very welcome upon my arrival. I booked my next appointment already and looking forward to it.
Fantastic experience: My experiences at Newkirkgate Dental Care have been excellent! The admin side of arranging appointments, getting reminders and filling out of forms is very efficient and can all be done swiftly online/via e-mail. It's very convenient for me being able to do that when working. The dentisty has also been very professional and the atmosphere is friendly, I certainly feel during my appointements that I'm in good capable hands for my treatment. Thanks for fixing my teeth.
Fantastic experience: It was very nice experience! Nice talks, clear communication and explaination.
Fantastic experience: I was very satisfied with my appointment at Newkirkgate Dental Care on 08/4/25.

I look forward to seeing Dr Zhang in the near future to complete my treatment.
Fantastic experience: newkirkgate dental care has done wanders they fixed years of naglect on my part and my dentist inpoticular Antonios left me painless so thank you
Fantastic experience: Everything very nice I’m happy
Fantastic experience: The team were so kind and clear. With lots of past facial trauma, they approached me gently and made things as easy and calm as possible. Hugely recommended.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding Dental Practice. I honestly cannot praise them highly enough. I had a really problematic experience at Dental Express in Portobello where they seemed totally disinterested in my dental issues as an NHS patient and failed to diagnose a crack in my tooth (which I’d identified as concerning) and this was despite X-Rays. Newkirkgate was an entirely different experience. From the moment I registered with them they’ve been incredibly helpful and supportive. All staff were immediately friendly, and clearly very caring about the dental issues I was experiencing. After the worst night of pain I’ve ever experienced Antonios immediately diagnosed the issue and set to work. When he injected me to begin work on the root canal treatment i could have kissed him the relief was so great. And he worked efficiently and gently I was not discomforted in any manner whatsoever. Brilliant. Actually looking forward to seeing them again. Don’t hesitate. If you need a Dentist, you won’t find a better practice to register with.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff very supportive
Fantastic experience: Claire was gentle and patient with my children and the dental hygienist was just the same. She was great with my own care too.
Fantastic experience: The best dental care I have ever used. Thanks to all the team.
Negative experience: If I could give it 0 stars I would. The dentist ran over an hour late. There are many, far superior options surrounding the area so I’d avoid this place.
Fantastic experience: Fotis has been my dentist for a few years absolutely outstanding service and very friendly and actually a pleasure to visit this dentist which is extremely modern and slick
Fantastic experience: In my long life(I am 92), I have been to many dentists, but Newkirkgate Dental Care is the best. They are very competent and caring, and professional. I recommend them. LYALL BLACK
Fantastic experience: Very professional and sorted my tooth issue straight away.
Fantastic experience: So far so good. I m very happy with that surgery. Together with my kids we have moved here. I m very happy with the care we ve got so far. The dentist was very precisely and explained clearly everything.
Fantastic experience: When my last dentist retired I was fortunate enough to find Newkirkgate Dental Care. Everything is fresh and modern and my dentist Fotis Bousis is very gentle, calm and kind. He explains everything to me and I am no longer very nervous when visiting the dentist. I thoroughly recommend Newkirkgate Dental Care.

Fantastic experience: Right from the moment you enter the practice you are met with professional , friendly polite and approachable staff. They call patients the day before your appointment is an ideal way of ensuring people remember their appointments or allowing them to be rescheduled if need be.
Fantastic experience: I’m not the biggest fan of the dentist, and was dreading my visit which was to have 3 fillings, which I haven’t needed in decades. The dental staff we reassuring and quick, hardly felt a thing and I was out in 20 minutes.
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience at Newkirkgate Dental Care! From the moment I walked in, the team gave me such a warm and welcoming greeting, which instantly put me at ease. I was treated by Dr. Zhang, and she did an amazing job extremely professional, attentive, and thorough throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable at every step. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for top-quality dental care!
Fantastic experience: Very happy from reception to the dentist. The dentist explained everything to me what was happening next.
Fantastic experience: Been quite nervous to go to the dentist after a while without going! Really lovely dental staff and reception and came out feeling a lot less stressed. Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: No problem with appointment taken on time. Happy
Fantastic experience: A Remarkable Dental Experience with Dr. Antonios I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while, so I was a bit nervous walking into my appointment with Dr. Antonios. But from the moment I sat down, his calm and professional approach put me at ease. He made what could have been an uncomfortable visit surprisingly pleasant. What really stood out was how well he navigates the UK dental system. He explained the options available through both the NHS and private care in a way that made sense and helped me choose what worked best for my needs and budget. It felt like he genuinely cared about finding the right solution for me, not just ticking boxes. His attention to detail and the quality of his work were exceptional - on par with the kind of care you’d expect from a top private clinic. I left the appointment feeling more informed about my dental health and really satisfied with the care I received. If you’re looking for a dentist who’s skilled, approachable, and great at tailoring care to your situation, I’d highly recommend Dr. Antonios.
Fantastic experience: I've had good experiences with the dental practice. All the staff are friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant care, no pain which is good. Got scale and polish this is the second time with this dentist. Have to say very gentle and made me feel at ease. Thank you.xx
Fantastic experience: Nice staff make you feel at ease no pain thank christ hahaha
Fantastic experience: All the staff are friendly, polite and approachable. The practice calls patients 24 hours before appointments to check that people will be in attendance and keeps patients up to date with all relevant developments in treatment and changes to dental charges. My own dentist Dr Antonopoulos is friendly, thorough and very professional. If you need any kind of dental services, make sure you are a registered patient at this practice.
Fantastic experience: Amazing dental practice, friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend to all family and friends. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: My dentist is amazing and very very patient with me he's repaired my teeth twice and made the worst teeth perfect thank you so much to my dentist and the lovely friendly staff at Newkirkgate Dental surgery
Fantastic experience: Very friendly reception staff, ease of booking and overall professional service
Fantastic experience: From reception staff to dentists and dental nurse could not ask for more great service from a great practice
Fantastic experience: Move to this dental surgery and I’m happy with the Dentist service and Friendly staff .. thanks
Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant visit as always. Probably the best Dentist in town. Had never disappointed me, after all these years.
Fantastic experience: Today's appointment could have been traumatic, I haven't had so much treatment in a few years. It went gently and with no unpleasant after effects.
Fantastic experience: Dr Jennifer O'Donnell is an excellent dentist, very knowledgeable, caring and considerate. Adam
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Calm and knowledgeable dentist, she really put me at ease after a previous poor dental experience.
Fantastic experience: I have come here for a few years now as a private patient, always very pleased with the service. Lovely receptionist, great service from my dentist Jenny, and dental assistants/nurses are always very friendly. I can imagine Jenny and her team being excellent if you are really scared of dentists, as they are patient and gentle.
Fantastic experience: Great Dental Practice; every member of staff I came across was lovely and helpful. I had been putting off the dentist for so long (like most of us), and it wasn't until I was in excruciating pain that I finally made an appointment. Due to a needle phobia, I am not a great patient, but a HUGE shout out to Dr. Ahmed because the man has the patience of a saint! Along with Dental Nurse Mandy, I could not have been in better hands; they made me feel as comfortable as they could and did everything to alleviate my fears. Really not worried about having to go back again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to share my experience at the dental practice, particularly with Dr. Fotis. His professionalism and efficiency were exceptional. I’m usually very anxious about injections, but Dr. Fotis made the whole process surprisingly smooth and quick. I felt at ease, and even after the injection, I was comfortable and felt fine!
Negative experience: Light in the tunnel! I have been left in darkness about procedures that will be taken to fix my problem. Honestly, after first visit I was in panic for all week. Dentist seemed to be quite disappointed that I was entitled and choose to do free fixing. He ignored me, didn't explain anything he was doing even after I asked. I was told there is no such a thing private and nhs mix. I was left with no option. Though I checked and it seems that it was possible. Second visit was very painful. Again, dentist didn't wanted to use injection to ease my pain till the last bite,until I started to cry. He was doing nerve canal treatment. During 3rd visit he was nicer and ASKED FOR REVIEW.
Thank you for your comment and we are very sorry to hear that you did not receive the experience we would have wished for you at Newkirkgate Dental Care.
We would like to assure you that we are primarily an NHS dental practice and our patients are our first priority. We aim to deliver the treatment plan of our patients choice, giving all their treatment options no matter if they are private or exempt from dental charges. I can confirm that if you are an nhs patient you can choose to still have private treatments but not both on the same tooth.

Fantastic experience: Wow! What a fantastic dentist, from the efficiency of the reception/booking process to the dentist (I saw Ms Han Zhang).

Fantastic experience: Really clean and welcoming dentist. They have been looking after me since July after nearly 20 years of not going to a dentist. They have been kind and the attention to detail has been outstanding. I’m very pleased with the work I’ve had done so far. A few more procedures to go but I’m very happy. They have been supportive when I’ve been nervous and patient. Thank you all.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at the dental practice. The reception staff were very friendly and provided me with all the information I needed.

Hello,
We are very sorry to hear that your experience with our reception team did not meet your expectations. Please be assured that we will address your concerns and provide additional training to our reception team, particularly in customer service.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Dental Practice. So I have been in a few dental clinics over the years and none of them come even close to Newkirkgate ( Edinburgh) in every aspect. They are so professional and warm snd welcoming from the second you walk in the door. The ladies in reception are amazing so polite and accommodating and just an all round friendly experience immediately which sets you at ease. Then the dentist themselves top notch as far as I’m concerned they have done an amazing job on my teeth fixing all the problems previous dentists couldn’t. They were quick and again very professional and if you’re uncomfortable like most of us are when we need to see a dentist this place takes all that away. I will go as far to say that you will even look forward to your next appointment here it’s that good with a wide selection of amazing dentists. 100% the easiest 5 star review I have ever given.
Negative experience: The receptionist is awful and rude, very cheeky, condescending and just another typical receptionist, why are they all like this? You're not as important as you think you are, need to have better manners, complete joke.
We sincerely apologize that your experience with our reception team did not meet your expectations. Our primary focus is being able to help patients. Rest assured, we will address your concerns and provide additional training to our reception team, focusing on patient care and customer service.
Fantastic experience: Incredibly positive experience from start to finish. Reception staff are welcoming and efficient. Dentist (Jenny) is incredibly reassuring, gentle and puts you at ease. Dental nurse was also very good at providing comfort and helping make sure you are OK.
Fantastic experience: A super efficient practice - great communication and very easy to book.
