Fantastic experience: I have had many dental and aesthetic procedures from Shine. They have always been polite, helpful and sympathetic, and the results are just what I wished.

Thank you so much for your kind words :) x
Fantastic experience: I have attended Shine Dental Surgery since it opened. I have always been impressed by their standards in both professional and interpersonal. Over the years their standard of service has been impeccable. Their explanation of procedures and options has always been clear and they are very patient, explaining aspects of treatments, in my case many times, ensuring I understood what was happening and what to expect. Whilst other dental practices gave adequate information I feel that Shine Dental Surgery make a point of ensuring my full understanding of all aspects of my treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend Shine Dental Surgery for any procedure from check ups to implants. Lesley Clements
Hi Lesley, Thank you so much for the kind words and lovely review.
We are so happy that your journey here has been a good one for you. We look forward to seeing you again soon :) x
Fantastic experience: The surgery has a very welcoming atmosphere. Staff are always polite, helpful and professional. 'No fillings this time Mummy' so what's not to like?
Fantastic experience: Always great, friendly and professional. Feel confident and cared for.
Fantastic experience: Friendly supportive Professional staff. With the options of NHS or private treatment plans
Fantastic experience: We have been coming to shine for many years . And you always get a warm welcome. From receptionist to the dentist and hygienist everyone is very friendly,
Fantastic experience: The team was brilliant, Katie was amazing and very gentle. The whole team was very caring and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Dee and the team have been fantastic in managing my dental care. I wasn't born with the best teeth - so managing them has always required a very good dentist (which is hard to find at the best of times). Dee and the team have consistently done a great job on a number of procedures including bone grafting, root canals, a complex maryland bridge and some clever composite bonding work to improve my bite (I won't do Invisalign, but my partner has invisible through Shine dental). I especially appreciate Dee referring to a number of specialists on some issues, and then actually coming back to me with recommendations (I trust her because she keeps her word).
Fantastic experience: I broke a veneer - pizza crust! - on Thursday. At 8.20 on Friday I was in Dee's chair. New veneer done, no charge as it was under warranty, and I got a nice polish into the bargain. I was back home at 09.00am. That's what I call service.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. My appointment was on time. Polite and professional staff
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient since Shine opened in Ripponden. They always provide a friendly and professional service
Thank you for the kind words Peter :)
Fantastic experience: I feel lucky that we have Shine Dental in our area. It's a lovely practice, as soon as you enter you can see it's clean and efficient. The team go out of their way to be helpful and caring. Definitely the best dental practice I have attended. I can't recommend them enough.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist very professional everyone works well together Dee my dentist is brilliant it’s a definitive A+++++ from me
Fantastic experience: My visits to Shine Dental are always of the highest standard with the care taken by all who work there. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Love this dentist. Got an emergency appointment within two hours of calling and sorted out my issue. Been going for several years now and never had any problems
Fantastic experience: Once again, exceptional treatment at Shine Dental! From the ladies on reception, to the Practice Manager and of course Dentist Ahmed, Shine offers a brilliant service. Recently, a flight triggered a dental issue, the team responded quickly, even calling me back whilst on holiday, to offer advice and reassurance, even booking me an emergency appointment for my return. Happily, the dental issue is now resolved and I can't thank then enough for their superb care.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and care Had two large fillings yesterday in 20 mins - No needles no pain The dentists and admin staff are friendly The decor is tastefully done and the equipment is mind boggling
Positive experience: Great service and a friendly environment at the surgery from all the staff.
Fantastic experience: I have a deep-rooted fear of dentists, stemming from a truly brutal experience in childhood. After that, I avoided the dentist for many years, only to finally build up the courage in adulthood — and was then met with another terrible, terrifying experience. You cannot underestimate the damage a bad dentist can do, both physically and psychologically. It took me a full year from my initial enquiry at Shine Dental Surgery to actually pluck up the courage to book an appointment. From the very first moment, I was met with genuine sympathy and understanding. Dee is extraordinary — her gentleness and expertise are second to none. I have gone from having full-on palpitations and sweat literally dripping from my body, to feeling almost relaxed about the whole process. I still wouldn’t say I enjoy dental appointments, but I am no longer paralysed by fear. That, for me, is a remarkable transformation, and I cannot thank Dee and the team enough. Highly recommended for anyone who feels anxious or fearful — you will be in the safest of hands.
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with the hygienist. Premises always well presented. Reception staff always friendly and professional. Treatment experience excellent as always. I was treated with care, kindness and respect. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Mr Siddiqui Is just the best dentist you could ask for. Both me and my teenage daughter use him. I was nervous for 20 years about visiting the dentist but I no longer have that fear.
Fantastic experience: Very quick and comfortable
Fantastic experience: Always enjoy coming to the practice.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Dentists so kind caring and professional. I am so glad I found them, especially asI have had mouth cancer, I value the checks up I have with them
Fantastic experience: A great dental practice with professional, caring and friendly staff. Recently I was given a quick appointment for an emergency and was seen quickly and with care. They send reminders and keep me informed. Would recommend Shine Dental.
Fantastic experience: Superb dentists. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, putting your mind at ease. Would definitely recommend to other people, especially if you're scared of going.
Fantastic experience: Very informative and friendly staff Bright and modern surgery I was made very welcome and felt at ease due to extremely professional care My overall experience was very pleasant and I'm extremely happy with the end result Thanks Dee and the team
So glad you're happy with the service you receive :)
Fantastic experience: Happy with the treatment good all round.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Shine to anyone looking for better care of their teeth. Nice, clean, modern practice & expert friendly staff.
Thank you very much for the lovely review :)
Fantastic experience: Shine is a beautiful dental practice, in the heart of Ripponden village, the Staff are literally the best. Friendly, welcoming and full of fun, My personal Dentist Dee, is wonderful she totally understands her patients, and my needs. It's the best Practice I've been too by miles.. If you are looking to switch or find a reliable, friendly & caring Dental Clinic, then Shine Dental is the Place.. Highly recommended! *****
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Shine Dental for fifteen years and Dee has been the best dentist I have ever used. I would recommend her and Shine Dental 100%.
Fantastic experience: Very caring team, always happy to help. Dee my dentist always makes me feel reassured and happy to explain anything.
Fantastic experience: I’ve just had a tooth extracted and Dr Ahmed Siddiqui was very kind because he is a funny and really good dentist
Fantastic experience: Incredible team Incredible care!
Fantastic experience: I am beyond terrified of the dentist and haven't been to one for 20 years as a result. However I cannot rate Dr Dee Patel and her team highly enough, when I had to have an extraction recently. I cannot thank them enough for their patience whilst I was a hysterical mess and for being so empathetic and caring throughout the 2 appointments. The treatment was completely pain free and I am now joining Shine Dental as a patient. I haven't completely lost my fear but I know I can put my whole trust, with the care for my teeth, in Dr Dee Patel. THANK YOU.
Fantastic experience: Very easy going atmosphere. My experience at Shine has eased my lifelong phobia. 10/10 to my particular dentist.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Went for my 6 monthly checkup. The treatment I received was first class. Very pleasant and caring staff. I always feel at ease whenever I visit this practice. I would highly recommend Shine Dental.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Fantastic experience: No problems, Good Service.
Great to hear you're happy :)
Fantastic experience: I used to be super nervous of going to the dentist but not anymore. Dee is always very gentle and reassuring and makes me feel at ease. Great advice offered too.
So glad we could help you :)
Fantastic experience: the dentist surgery is very clean and well looked after,the staff are very pleasant and friendly also helpfull, the dentist is also very friendly and explains things to you ,very relaxed atmosfere, thank you
Fantastic experience: Cannot thank the wonderful team at Shine Dental enough for a consistent, welcoming and happy environment when undergoing recent treatment. It was never daunting and, dare I say, I enjoy my visits! Dee you are a superhero and thank you very much for all your hard work and efforts! See you all very soon. Warmest wishes, Bhavna x x x
Negative experience: We need a proper NHS village dentist where all in the area can get treatment. NOT this charade... they say they are at maximum capacity for NHS patients...... No..... nhs patients don't put mercs in the garage...
Fantastic experience: I was referred originally to Shine for a gum graft with their periodontist Tobias . I was so impressed with the practice and the resulting treatment that I moved practice and had a consultation with Dee for bridgework / smile makeover. The whole team are incredibly friendly and professional : Dee explained everything before and during treatment , putting me at ease throughout. I am over the moon with the results , giving me back the confidence to smile naturally again. The practice has a calm and relaxing ambience , and patient care is second to none ! I would highly recommend Shine.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant local dental surgery. Friendly staff who take care of their patients.
Fantastic experience: A very caring practice. The staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They listen and advise, putting you at ease as soon as you enter their door. I personally am not a 'fan' of going to the dentist but even I feel that I am in safe hands when I visit the practice. Thank you to all the staff at Shine. Sue H.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and informative. New modern practice, up to date equipment giving more comfortable effective procedure. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: After years of having an irrational fear of the dentist I finally made an appointment at Shine Dental. On arrival everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I was introduced to Dee who put my mind at rest and made me feel relaxed. I have been having treatment with Tobias who is very kind and gentle and keeps me informed throughout my treatment. Thank you Shine Dental for curing me of my ‘dentist phobia’.
Fantastic experience: Always have a good experience. The dentist puts you at ease and explains what is going to happen. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous about this appointment as I had my 3 month old son with me but I had no childcare. I shouldn't have worried as Dee put my mind at rest and made me feel completely welcome with him and said there were enough people to settle him if needed (it was only a check up appointment). I was completely put at ease and whilst having my check up someone did come in to keep my son occupied which made the whole experience less stressful!
Fantastic experience: First visit to see Dee at Shine. She was lovely, gave my mouth and teeth a thorough check over and took some x-rays. She reassured me that my teeth look fine at the moment but she would keep an eye on a couple of things. I feel reassured that I've had a thorough check up and will be looked after extremely well going forward. I'm so glad I've signed up to the dental plan as that gives me piece of mind that I can keep on top of my oral health in the future. Thank you to everyone at shine, you all do an amazing job.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, helpful staff and a great service.
Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency appointment. was seen within 2hrs treatment given, plus further advice , brilliant thank you
Fantastic experience: Shine dental practice the first one that has helped get rid of my fear which was caused by childhood trauma at the hands of a dentist. The staff are very friendly, put you at ease and certainly very professional
Fantastic experience: I had a wisdom tooth taken out under local anaesthetic. I felt very cared for at every stage. Quick and easy, good after care instructions and healing nicely now. Thank you Dee and all the team.
Fantastic experience: My cap had started to become loose. I phoned Shine and they pushed me in and saw Dee my dentist within half an hour. The receptionists were very helpful and Dee was her usual professional self with a calming attitude. I would recommend Shine Dentists to friends and family
Fantastic experience: The dental hygienist is quick & efficient, checking it that I’m okay. The receptionists are always lovely too.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this practise for a few years now and seen a few changes over time , I can honestly say I wouldn't want to go anywhere else , the care ive always recieved is second to none, the whole team are brilliant...thankyou !
Positive experience: We always feel comfortable with the reception we receive Our appointments are on time our dentist welcomes with a friendly attitude and gives advice on how we are looking after our teeth We appreciate your dental care Sheila and Peter Richardson
Fantastic experience: My interaction with the dental team has been very positive. They very much work as a team offering a pleasant environment for patients. They have always provided me with a caring and professional service.
Positive experience: Freindly, calm, no queues or waiting, receptionists helpful. Only issue I have had was poor advice and detail regarding the best way to progress my poor gum disease. Visiting different specialists at different times just taking money off me when process vould have been in a more cost efficient process.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service , great facilities and a very pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: Best thing we did was to join Shine Dental , Dee and the team are always welcoming, professional friendly and thorough. An asset to the village.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Fantastic experience: Lovely team, supportive and helpful.
Thank you very much x
Fantastic experience: So glad I moved to Shine Dental from my old NHS practice. The service is excellent with regular scheduled appointments throughout the year that suit my busy diary, efficient reminders and nothing is too much trouble. I pay a small monthly fee that covers my dental needs and am so glad I made the switch!
We are so pleased you are happy with the service we provide :)
Fantastic experience: Super treatment, efficient and totally painless. Also very forgiving that I had misread the time of my appointment and I got fitted in almost immediately. Lovely dentists and staff ( and spectacular Halloween trimmings!!!).
Fantastic experience: Dee and the rest of team at Shine Dental Surgery, Ripponden are amazing. Going to the dentist is something i avoided until i really needed to go as i was so apprehensive. I was this way since my early years but since starting at Shine this has been totally reversed. Dee puts you totally at ease and explains each stage of your treatment so there are no surprises. The surgery is open and bright lending itself to making you more relaxed pre treatment. The same could be said of the treatment rooms. Costs are always a concern with dentists today, i have found Shine to be comparable with other dentists and the costs are outlined right from the start, so no surprises. I have recommended Shine to friends and family so wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone else.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service sam and bilal have help me though my Invisalign treatment and made changes to get my teeth exactly how I wanted them I’m over the moon with them
Fantastic experience: Fearful of my forthcoming tooth extraction I arrived at Shine anxious! Absolutely no fear needed. Greeted by lovely receptionist and the dentist and nurse were wonderful. All went well and I would like to assure anyone - do not worry you will be treated with great care and consideration.
Fantastic experience: Dee is such a fabulous dentist I would never consider going to someone else… and I travel from Portugal for my appointments!
Fantastic experience: Great experience with my hygienist, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst she went about my treatment. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Without doubt the best dentist experience I’ve ever had, highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental.practice in Ripppnden . Dee is a pleasure to be with. Professional and friendly, so knowledgeable. Receptionists excellent too.
Fantastic experience: My first visit and was great. Dentist was brilliant as well as very friendly and welcoming reception staff! Made dreaded dentist trips must easier
Fantastic experience: Been with Shine Dental for years now . They provide and excellent service! All the staff are extremely friendly, professional and helpful. I highly recommend them !
Fantastic experience: Not my usual dentist but was seen as an emergency after suffering with agonising pain. So impressed with the service. The tooth was treated. I left with great aftercare advice, antibiotics and most importantly pain free. Would definitely recommend. Was able to book the appointment on line too.
Fantastic experience: Amazing, this sums up this wonderful dental practice, was able to book for same day appointment. Dee was so patient and understanding, as a nervous patient who hadn’t visited dentist, due to denta-phobia! She made me feel at ease and explained the full process to me, and a plan has been put in place for me to get my oral health on track.
Fantastic experience: The team at Shine Dental are amazing. 5* service. I took my 1 year old, Esme, to see Dee for her first ever trip to the dentist. Dee was fantastic with her, fun, engaging, thorough and most importantly patient. After Esme’s check up it was my turn for a check & clean. Ash came to the rescue when Esme was unsettled and kept her company, I was nervous taking my baby to my appointment but I didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable for having Esme sit through my appointment too. All the team were brilliant. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My first time here and going private. I'm not usiallly a fan of visiting the dentist, but the staff at Shine made my visit an enjoyable experience. Helpful reception check in, and a very friendly dentist has given me a new take on visitong the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Friendly service. Staff always explain procedures and put you at ease. Fantastic team!
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Dee enough for working her magic on my teeth - amazing talent!! A big thank you also to all the staff at Shine who are always welcoming and extremely efficient
Negative experience: Beware of Deceptive Practices My husband and I were loyal patrons of Shine Dental for years. Initially, we were satisfied with the service, including my successful Envisalign treatment. However, over the past three years, the quality of service has plummeted dramatically.One of the most concerning issues is the frequent turnover of dentists, resulting in inconsistent advice and treatment plans. What drove me to look for alternative care was the appalling behavior of a particular young dentist, whose name escapes me. This individual made derogatory remarks that left me in tears. Moreover, their relentless diagnosis of cavities without proper evidence (without X-rays) raised red flags.I was shocked when this dentist dismissed my concerns about the impact of Envisalign on my dental health, insensitively attributing any issues to my aging (I am just over 30!). This comment left me deeply upset and questioning their professionalism. Despite my requests for a different dentist, Shine Dental failed to accommodate. Subsequent visits only reinforced my suspicions as more cavities were “identified”. Seeking a second opinion from a private dentistry revealed a disturbing pattern of unnecessary procedures aimed at profiteering. My experience also highlighted concerning practices such as deliberately creating gaps in fillings, inadequately molded fillings leading to discomfort and food impaction, and deceptive tactics to justify unnecessary treatments.I want to warn potential patients of Shine Dental about this practice to avoid falling victim to their deceitful practices. I am not only talking about the financial losses, but irreversible damage done to my dental health. I have not switched to private clinic on a plan, which still comes at better rate than being NHS client at Shine dental.
Hi Aziza,
Hope you are well.
I would just like to begin by apologising that you feel the service you have received from Shine Dental more recently was not what you had hoped for. As a dental practice, we do pride ourselves on providing excellent patient care and total transparency to all of our patients and so I would really like to understand more about the issue so that I can address your concerns directly.
Within the last couple of years, we have experienced growth at Shine Dental and have taken on more Clinicians - associate dentists who also have commitments at other locations and work part time at Shine. This means that your availability and our appointment availability can have an impact on which clinician you see. All clinicians who you have seen during the time you have been a patient with us are still present at Shine.
Given the serious nature of your concerns I would have been grateful of the opportunity to discuss this directly with you and have had the chance to honestly answer any questions and uncertainties to help you understand why decisions regarding your clinical care have been made. For example, it is unethical for us to take radiographs at every appointment a patient makes at the practice. For us, there must be adequate justification to expose a patient to radiation. Routinely X-rays are taken intermittently and are not always required to diagnose caries. Following diagnosis, consents are obtained and treatment discussed. We believe completely in patient choice and providing full and complete information so that an informed decision can be made by yourself regarding any treatment you have with us and I am sorry if you feel that this practise has not been carried during your care.
I am aware that you contacted our team a few months ago to let them know that you were moving and have now found a new dentist. That said, I really would still like the opportunity to talk about the events which have led to this outcome and have the opportunity to put things right.
If you get a moment, please contact me directly at the Practice. I am more than happy to help.
Kind Regards,
Ashleigh Franklin
Practice Manager
Shine Dental
Fantastic experience: This is a really good place because I liked the seat going back, it was like a rollercoaster and the dentist was nice. I really recommend going here. Arthur aged 8
Thank you for the review, So pleased Arthur was happy. See you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the practice for many years & have always been happy with the treatment and service. I had an appointment with Dee a few weeks ago as I was interested in composite bonding. She fully explained the process and advised me as to the best way forward. I agreed with her recommendation and the treatment took place after a short while. From my point of view the outcome is amazing - very natural and some of my friends haven’t even noticed the difference until it was pointed out to them ! The before and after pictures show the difference. Dee and her staff have been fabulous throughout - very attentive and caring and I would highly recommend them and the treatment
So Pleased to hear you're happy with your result, It was a pleasure treating you. See you again soon. x
