Fantastic experience: First time today was treated gently and efficiently great scale and polish lovely place peaceful and in a good area
Fantastic experience: I had an extraction at The Smile Centre this morning with specialist Jack Thomas Stanley. I can’t praise him highly enough. What a lovely man, so kind and caring and no pain felt! The experience was very straightforward and for all those who might be nervous, don’t be. Jack is the best of the best and so quick I couldn’t believe he’d done anything! A massive thank you Jack.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited the Smile Centre to have a wisdom tooth removed. The Dentist and the Nurse were both excellent, they put me at ease and carried out the procedure professionally, I would recommend this practice, especially to anyone nervous of using the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with today's visit. Seen within 5 minutes of appointment time. Thanks. Got next years appointment sorted.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been at the Smile Centre for several years now and I am very satisfied with the services they provide. Wait times for appointments can be long (like most NHS dentists) but when I do go, the experience is pleasant and my dentist Elizabeth is friendly and gives advice without being condescending (even when I haven’t flossed enough!). Text reminders for appointments are also very useful and making/changing appointments is easy enough.
Fantastic experience: Vish is amazing and makes the visit a pleasure. Reception team are welcoming and helpful.
Positive experience: Great service. Prompt timing

Fantastic experience: Absolutely 1st class .staff were friendly and very efficient. . Thanks so much
Positive experience: Very good service in and out 15mins single filling got me in this week at short notice didn’t like £72.50 price much but hey ho
Fantastic experience: Business like reception staff who mellow to help people in genuine need. Doctor Betts is thoughtful and thoroughly professional. Rules the room and knows how to balance progress with compassion. Documentaries often show emergency services saying, treat patients as if they were your own Mother or child. Dr Betts follows that script every day. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the Smile Centre for over twenty years now , and it's a very straightforward well run Dentist Surgery. Liz the Dentist I see , is very polite and friendly, she is very thorough in examing my teeth , and explains any issues in a straightforward, informative, easy to understand way. The receptionists are very organised and deal with things efficiently. The Dentist surgery is very clean and welcoming. The Dentist surgery welcoming NHS customers is a major plus , with me being a low wage earner . I highly recommend the Smile Centre
Fantastic experience: Aquessa understood the problem i described with a sensitive tooth, and the previous method used to rectify which had worked since 2019. Happy to repeat the process and monitor. Very pleasant to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Fitted in at short notice great service
Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is an amazing dentist and she is so helpful.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service on a tricky filling. Great attention to getting it right.
Fantastic experience: Very satisfied with my visit. Lovely pleasant helpful staff from the reception ladies to the dentist technician. Everything was explained to me about today's visit and future treatment.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Friendly staff. Never any fear of dentists since being with this practice.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for a long time, and they’ve always been spot on. No hassle when it comes to changing appointments, and the staff are always happy to help with anything. Had a check-up today and can’t thank Ellie enough for her brilliant customer service—both in person and over the phone when I needed to reschedule. My dentist, Nayyab, was excellent at explaining everything clearly and outlining what needs to be done moving forward. I’d recommend this place to anyone. Their treatments are reasonably priced, and the overall service is top-notch. Thanks again guys.
Fantastic experience: Got into see my dentist as an emergency and they arranged treatment for me within 3 days . Very kind and considerate dental practitioners
Positive experience: Natasha was lovely and made me feel at ease
Negative experience: This visit to the hygienist was stressful. Her manner, and that of her dental nurse, was very abrasive but thd treatment resulted in a thorough scale and polish.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist, very patient and explained my options. Receptionist was very polite.
Fantastic experience: Beth my dentist excellent as always.kind gentle smiling and not rushing.explained my dental issues well.seen promptly on time..I am always happy to visit as I get a very good service from her.

Fantastic experience: I broke a tooth and Nuwanthi Nanson did an amazing job she completely rebuilt it and it looks like a proper tooth and feels completely normal, I found her caring, great sense of humour. All round great dentist. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Lovely dentist, makes it goin, a bit easier.
Fantastic experience: The whole team are so good, and really help me feel at ease. I am not a fan of dental work, but they do care and each visit is as stress free as possible.
Fantastic experience: Excellent care from the dentist she fully explained my options, then dealt with my selected treatment without any fuss
Fantastic experience: Good appointment at the Smile Centre. Options were clearly explained for treatment. Procedure was respectfully carried out with efficiency and felt safe and well looked after.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic dentist I think her name is Natasha kind and honest, gives you the time you need
Fantastic experience: Delighted with how I was attended to by both Reception and Surgery staff. Everyone seemed so cheerful and helpful towards me and sensitive to my needs ( due to my mobility impairment) Well appointed waiting area and impressive looking equipment in the surgery. The lady who examined me was extremely gentle and kind. I was really impressed with everything that I observed. Many grateful thanks to all. M Wilkins.
Positive experience: Dentist was very good clearly explained everything then the receptionist completely contradicted what the dentist had said and I think had to catch herself from not getting very frustrated when I said that’s different to what I’ve been told. As I heard someone say you feel like you can’t say anything bad incase they strike you off as you can’t get an appointment now days .
Positive experience: This is a very busy dentist practice. The care received was fine however a wait of 35 minutes with no one updating me on the situation was poor, in my opinion. Another family member attended today. Once again care was very good but wait time similar to my experience. There is a very tight policy if it is a customer who is late! Apart from this the smile centre works for me.
Fantastic experience: Staff helpful, punctual and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Love this dentist. Always make you feel at ease with everything and so polite keep up the good work smile centre
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Dentist. All staff are really friendly & give excellent service. I would definitely recommend as both a private & NHS dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist, friendly and thorough service and staff throughout. Elizabeth is a committed dentist who has looked after my dental health very well . Many thanks
Fantastic experience: As an urgent appointment only booked this morning, I can’t fault the care and attention provided by Beth. She took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the options open to me.
Positive experience: Great support from dentist Reena Mistry. Honest and very supportive.
Fantastic experience: My dentist is amazing, she's so friendly and explains what she's going to do and my x-rays. She's thoughtful, making sure I'm ok. Expkains my options, how much it will cost on nhs or privately. The only thing I could wish for is a mirror so I can watch what she's doing.
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment from Jack, a fellow brass player
Fantastic experience: As usual a very thorough clean of my teeth by Jenevieve Alway ready to give advice and encouragement Thank you
Fantastic experience: Was really good experience I was a little nervous about some sensitive issues but my hygienist did a thorough check and clean and put my mind at rest thank you Vishwa Patel x
Fantastic experience: As always, a very efficient and professional approach
Fantastic experience: Such a great team. They are flexible, caring and pragmatic. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Very busy but very good and helpful Also good continuity - seeing same dentist each time.. Subsequent visit to hygienist was very good - informative and good advice given.. 9 month later visit to dentist was also excellent.. Treatment was very good and advice very helpful and commonsense...
Fantastic experience: I used to be afraid of the dentist but now I feel quite safe and confident that I am getting the best treatment with due care, empathy and attention. Well done Smile Centre.
Fantastic experience: Always well looked after here. Beth is brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist nothings to much trouble really pleased
Fantastic experience: Had a lovely experience at The Smile Centre. Havent been to the dentist in 3 years and was my first experience with a dentist in the UK. Was provided with plenty of information from reception to help me prepare for my first appointment. I could complete all the forms online ahead of my appointment and they even managed to squeeze me into a cancelation slot for the hygienist so that I could finish everything in one day. Staff were kind and helpful and explained their recall system to me and I've made an appointment to go back. Obviously dentistry isnt a comfortable experience but the staff and the clean environment made up for it. 10/10 would recommend. Dr Reena and Vishwa as well as the support staff definitely made it a good experience.
Negative experience: Ridiculously expensive and inconsistent from year to year. Wanted to charge me £615 for one pair of retainers. I went elsewhere and received three sets for £550. Avoid this place, they’re very mercenary.
Fantastic experience: I hate going to the dentist and hadn’t been for 13 years but was very happy with the service. Very friendly staff. Kept stopping to check I was okay. I was also super lucky that they’d had a cancellation as I’d turned up two weeks too early. Thanks for fitting me in.
Fantastic experience: Great service from the Smile centre . Professional and pleasant and full of good advice
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service, totally make you feel at ease, thank you
Fantastic experience: Went to smile centre today after a few years wait for a dentist ( when covid came out ) made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in . Seen a dentist wow my nerves was going into over drive she put me right at ease so professional so polite would recommend this dentist 100%
Fantastic experience: Excellent service Friendly efficient and successful Thank you Smile Centre
Positive experience: Thoroughly good clean and attention to detail, but £77.00 for a clean is expensive.
Fantastic experience: Just like to say the best ever experience. From start to finish the staff made me feel comfortable. Re assured throughout my treatment couldn't thank them enough
Fantastic experience: Great dentist. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I had a emergency appointment with beth for abig filling that came out . Beth is a amazing wonderful dentist I had 1st class treatment from beth and her wonderful friendly dental assistant . I use to be avery nervous patient but since seeing beth I feel awhole lot calmer going to the dentist. Beth is so friendly and makes you feel at ease as soon as you enter the room. I would highly recommend going to see beth especially if your nervous of dentist s she's brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Visited the hygienist. Punctual, professional and very pleasant.
Fantastic experience: A good professional dental practice; efficient, courteous and friendly staff. Treatment is good, and comes with useful advice.
Fantastic experience: Everything from the very friendly and polite receptionist (Ellie) to my lovely dentist (Liz Betts) was perfect. 5 stars all round!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Superb service from my new dentist ! I had a badly cracked rear molar which needed removing as was too far gone. She had my gums numb after a couple of easy injections, took an x ray to observe the crack and root. Then took the tooth out in less than a minute! Painless and super professional! I just wish I knew her name so I could give her credit but I’m too new a patient to know. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Delighted! I've only ever had one filling in my life, I'm delighted to say, but I cannot believe the difference in experience. The numbing injection for a start really hurt. When Dr Jones did the injection I couldn't even feel she was doing it or had done it!! The experience was quick, pain free (which is bizarre) and not scary at all. I think everyone should see her for their fillings! We wouldn't have so many people scared to go to the dentist!
Fantastic experience: Hygienist was excellent. Caring and delivering excellent hygiene advice. Extremely professional along with her assistance nurse. See you in April 2025
Fantastic experience: Had a replacement filling no charge as still under warranty. Excellent service as always
Fantastic experience: Great prompt service. Dental hygienist Vishwa is excellent
Fantastic experience: Beth my dentist was as wonderful as always. Clear precise information Great treatment. Very friendly always puts me at ease
Fantastic experience: Great staff and never any pain after an appointment
Fantastic experience: Although a visit to the hygienist is one of my least favourite occupations I found her to be empathetic, very clear in her advice and efficient in her treatment.
Fantastic experience: I've been with my dentist here for years and always received good service from her, including honest opinions as she answers any questions and puts me at ease. Besides that the place is clean and conveniently located near Trent Bridge. Currently advertising for new clients.
Fantastic experience: The staff are always friendly professional, knowledgeable and always quick to to give you a warm welcome with smiles all round. The dentist was excellent as always. The Smile Centre is the reason why I have been with them foe so long.
Fantastic experience: Updated 10th Dec 2024 I saw Beth Jones today who confidently drilled and filled a tooth that I had chipped and had previously had a cavity in. She stated she didn't think it would require anaesthetic, which I agreed to with the caveat that I could ask for it if required. She completed the job in less than 10 mins and I felt nothing! She really is brilliant. ≈============================≈ I have been going to the Smile centre for over 10 years and I have always found the staff to be friendly and welcoming. This week I required an extraction of a lower wisdom tooth from a ortho dental specialist. I was nervous, but the nurse Ellie was very kind and helped me feel better. The surgeon, Oke Ikeajwani was incredible. He talked me through the procedure, explained everything as he went along and even got me laughing!!! He then managed to pull the tooth without me realising he'd started - I just thought he was testing for pain... Amazing. Thank you both.
Fantastic experience: Just had new replacement implant with bone graft, very professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Had second wisdom tooth removed from here highly recommend them lovely staff
Fantastic experience: One of the most pleasant experiences at the dentist. Amazing dentist. She was really reassuring. Very kind and gentle. She also did an amazing job . My teeth look good ! I definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5* I would. Everyone here is so patient and caring and the treatment I receive is excellent
Dear Patricia,
I am glad to hear you are happy with the treatment you have received and would like to thank you for taking time out of your day to provide us with valued feedback.
We hope to see you again for your next appointment.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist quickly fitted me in for a appointment to examine some damage to my front teeth, the dentist is very experienced so you feel at ease and your in safe hands, would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: The treatment was excellent at the Smile centre in Nottingham. What I dislike is the questionnaire which is a means of selling dental services like teeth whitening.
Fantastic experience: Warm, friendly, professional and timely - almost a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: **UPDATED 25.11.24** Came in today and was greeted by lovely Vanessa on Reception, Vanessa always bends over backwards for me, she listens avidly to my tales of when i lived in her homeland, Portugal. I saw Genevieve, the hygienist and WOW! Incredible treatment, worth every penny of the £70.00 I paid. My gums have improved and overall health has too, I skipped out with shiny, bright teeth and can honestly say, I am SOOOOOOOOO glad I chose this dentist when I relocated home in 2003, the management may have changed over the years, but the service and care has just got better and better. THANK YOU...ALL... I have been using this wonderful surgery for over 20 years and throughout all of the management changes, the current Practice Manager is by far the best since Dulcina left. Nuanthe was perhaps the best dentist I had had considering my anxiety regarding dental appointments yet the hygienist I saw today was incredible, honest without being rude and so positive about my recovery from mental health issues that she had witnessed...all in all, my teeth are gleaming, I am smiling .... and I would highly recommend this practice. I would like to add that the warm greeting I always receive from the lovely lady on Reception makes the entire visit a pleasure and reduces my fear. Thank YOU ALL OF THE TEAM!
Fantastic experience: My appointment was arranged at very short notice after I woke up with severe pain in a tooth. I was given a friendly welcome by the receptionist and didn't have to wait long to see the dentist. She took the time to ask about my problem and put me at ease. Although the pain had subsided by that time I expected that if I did nothing it would return and she agreed, it was reassuring to see she took it seriously.
Fantastic experience: The dentist (Ashraf Eldawi) I saw is very gentle and kind. He seems to be quite a perfectionist wanting things to look and feel right
Fantastic experience: I can definitely recommend Beth at the Smile Centre. She’s so patient and caring. I used to get so anxious but not anymore.
