Remarkable Smiles - Alvaston: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, kind, polite and helpful. Good location and parking. No long waiting, fast and efficient staff. Many thanks.
Positive experience: The dentist practioners are great, always efficient,polite,welcoming and friendly. However the reception team are not as welcoming. I am unhappy with the fact that I felt rudely told I would have to pay private if I was to change my appointment! Not cancel but change my appointment, makes NHS patients feel undervalued and not as important as the private patients. When a reason was asked it's because last year only one appointment was missed! An appointment I was not aware about so unfortunately due to the rude reception team I don't feel a 5 star is reached. Great dentist practioners, setting and dentist overall, just need a polite reception team ☺️
Fantastic experience: Cedric has been my hygienist for years, and I wouldn't want to go to anyone else, as he is brilliant.
Fantastic experience: I had three fillings done by Cedric and was really nervous before the treatment. He was so patient and kind, talked me through everything, and made me feel completely at ease. I’m so grateful — thank you, Cedric!
Fantastic experience: Easy to book, park and straight forward service. Dentist spends time with you not just an inspection.
Fantastic experience: I have not had a dentist since 2019 due to mine closing down ,so I was quite worried , but the staff were absolutely amazing from the ladies at the reception to the dentist and his assistant i was made to feel very comfortable and safe everything was explained to me about what needed to be done and the options I could take i was do worried about going to the dentist but I needn't have worried they were amazing
Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly service. Helped me at short notice with some dental pain and the treatment was great. Felt no pain during the procedure.Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Easy to book and lots of parking on site. Had to have a few fillings and was talked through my options clearly, results are great. Had a lot dentists but these are my fave :)
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant staff and explained everything
Fantastic experience: Remarkable smiles? Remarkable staff also!! Cedric and Alisha are incredible dental nurses and hygiene cleanist. Had a deep filling done today Alisha was so comforting made me feel so relaxed and easy! Honestly got over my fear of dentists and needles today!! She is incredible! Very amazing dentist!! And Cedric also reassured me and comforted me whilst having my clean they are both polite and amazing! Thankyou both so much! Will continue to rave about this place! Should have 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: So far so good - pleasant staff. Appointment at a convenient time. Parking ok.

Positive experience: Overall good dentist no problem
Fantastic experience: Had the BEST experience ever when it comes to Dental treatment with a massive thanks to Cedric and his assistant who were very patient and understanding with me due to having had a bad experience, not to mention the receptionist who was very polite and welcoming ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Negative experience: not a great experience i had from this dentist
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff My teeth look amazing since joining this practice
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist in Derby. Would highly recommend. Fast access to new nhs appointment, everything explained thoroughly, very happy thank you
Fantastic experience: Very bad tooth issue for second year running saw same dentist she was absolutely brilliant can't recommend enough 1st class professional service keep up the excellent work
Fantastic experience: Remarkable service, friendly staff, quick and efficient and real care is taken in your procedures and your aftercare. Can’t recommend them enough.
Negative experience: Late to there own appointments why give me an appointment at half eleven i get there early and am sat here till half 12 ridiculous and im paying for this too
Dear Luca, Thanks for your review. I've had a look at the system and cctv and you were actually seen within 10mins of your appt - although you did attend the appointment early. The next patient after you was seen on time too.
We appreciate peoples time, and unfortunately sometimes people attend their appointment late which has a knock on effect. But also, sometimes things happen in surgery that is unexpected.
We've al had that wait at the GP, hairdresser, or for a meal, but lets all rejoice in those 10mins and take advantage of our wifi and lovely music.
Fantastic experience: Annette is absolutely fabulous restored my faith in dentists an absolute gem to have her there
Negative experience: Bad service
Fantastic experience: The staff are very friendly and professional always do an amazing job. Jonnie Bodie
Thank you Jonnie for leaving such an amazing review
Fantastic experience: Great friendly dentist
Thank you Tasha for the 5 star review
Fantastic experience: I was quick and fast the girls on reception are great make you feel welcome after you sign your name then in to the dentist room were you lie and hope it’s no work on your theeth I think I was seen by Alisha she was great I am a man of 61 and still nervous when getting in the chair as I can’t breathe through my nose it’s as to be through the mouth or HELD my breath it not like the old days were you have that big rubber mask on and you hear the gas coming then you wake up and it’s over
Thank you for the 5* review
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, always made to feel welcome and put at ease. Only gripe is that theirs not enough chairs in the waiting room and you could have a long wait beyond your appointment time. Also as a wheelchair user the front door has a small lip and isn't 100% accessible. Had trouble getting my Mum over it.
Thank you for the review, We will look in to getting more chairs for our waiting area, thank you for bringing this to our attention
Fantastic experience: Dr Waqas Ali is the best dentist I've been to, I'm an anxious patient due to previous dentistry and I hate needles. He's definitely the best with needles, I hardly felt them, I had 6 teeth out in 10 minutes, no problems with anything... So grateful Thank you Waqas.
Negative experience: Does not even deserve a 1 star Had composite bonding done here was made to believe they would last for a lot more years than the few they did when I voiced my disappointment I was treated very rude attitude my niece had a similar experience with a bodged up root filling which they failed to accept responsibility for and also had a stinking attitude towards her had to go elsewhere to have treatment rectified and as both were paying private had to pay out for treatment at a more professional dental practice
Negative experience: This practice is a waste of time. They only will register you if you will fully pay, forget about it if you are an exempt patient. They deregister me without telling me in advance, when asking if I could come back they said they could only accept exempt patients , when I said I was, they changed the story to say the registration was closed. Months after again they were receiving patients and my partner asked and he was told they were receiving patients only if they were with them before and that I should call them directly. Then I called and once again changed the story that only for brand new patients. They claim they asked me to call to tell me directly they couldn't register me. I guess they have plenty of time to be having useless conversations over the phone. Once they know you are an exempt patient they will do anything to not register you! Only looking for money and zero care for patients. Even if they reply to this review they will just change the story for their convenience over and over.
Hi Silvana, thank you for leaving your feedback. I was sorry to hear that you think the practice is a waste of time. I would like to clarify that you only ever attended one NHS appointment at our practice and that was 7 years ago, we do not have to inform patients that they have lapsed, it is the responsibility of the patient to book six monthly check-ups.
We have hundreds of patients on our books who are exempt from NHS charges. We also offer private check up's for £18.50 which is cheaper than the NHS, so clearly not motivated by money as you state. If you would like further clarification on my practice polices please feel free to contact the practice and ask to speak to the manager.
Negative experience: Me and my daughter had a booking here for a checkup but we both got floored with a nasty virus which put us both in bed we felt really poorly we both tested for covid which wasn’t an issue I get that, the issue was we felt too ill to attend and we slept all day into the evening my mum and husband both rung up early in the morning to cancel the appointments so they could at least use them as the called early in the morning and the receptionist just said they have procedures in place for covid so we would still have to attend and wouldn’t accept my mum or my husband calling up for us, saying we still needed to give 24 hours notice!! How the hell do you know your going to be ill 24 hours in advance, we were never given an option to pay a cancellation charge which I would of been more than happy to do due to the circumstances they just strook us off the nhs patience list via an email the following day. Avoid!!
Hi Nicola, I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our processes. Our policy is if two or more NHS appointments are missed/canceled we do not offer any further appointments, decisions are based on each individual patients attendance history. As you can appreciate NHS dental appointments are limited in the current climate so we have to to be rigid with this rule. We would not discuss this history with a family member due to GDPR but happy to discuss with the patient directly. Please feel free to contact the practice and ask to speak to the practice manager should you require any further clarification.
Fantastic experience: Sam on reception is brilliant, tells you straight and keeps you calm if your nervous. The other lady on reception (sorry didn't catch your name) very pleasant and efficient. Now then it comes down to Alicia, and her colleague, (sorry didn't catch your name yet) Alicia makes you feel so safe, I hate needles but last time a went never felt a thing. I would definitely recommend this practice
Sounds like the whole team smashed it, thank you for sharing your experience Tim

Fantastic experience: I'm 1 of the lucky 1's to have a dentist and extra lucky to have such a nice dentist who is brilliant at his job. He tells me in detail of the work he has done and will do in future appointments. The surgery Is nice clean and welcoming. Receptionist is pleasant. Car parking is a .nightmare unless it's later in the day.
Thanks Laney

Hi Lesley, its so nice to read that we have helped ease your fear of coming to the dentist : )
Fantastic experience: I have a real fear of dentists, makes no sense because these guys are fantastic! Everyone puts you at ease and they are so professional and friendly. Thank you!!
Hi Simon, Thank you for leaving such a great review, agreed they are a fantastic bunch
Fantastic experience: I moved to this dentist only a few months ago as my husband who was registered here said it was the best dentist he had ever been to. I rang and spoke to reception and explained how nervous I felt about going to the dentist. Reception assured me they were the best for taking care of patients especially nervous ones. They were not wrong, the receptionists are extremely friendly, informative and caring, I had my check up and needed to go back for extra treatment. I was fully informed about everything they needed to do, how it was going to be done, why it was being done and the consequence of not having it done. The dentist I had was amazing, she was kind, patient, very experienced and made me feel at ease, I was extremely nervous but she talked me through everything, I was not rushed at all. Today I had the treatment done, I can not thank the dentist team enough, for the first time in my life I do not feel nervous about having to go to the dentist again, an absolute wonderful team.
Hi Jo, thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. The team are over the moon with this feedback.

Thank you for the great review Kate
Negative experience: Been to see the indian young dr. regarding simple filling, and general checkups, however Dr,Ghani, young female, has bad interaction with people, and asks me as a patient why do i think i have these symptoms, which obviously rather odd comment to bring up, there were fillings to be done, then NOT bothered to take any Xray, and all i hear is well we have talked about this before (unprofessional),, then asked if i could not be seen by her again, and just shortly after earlier email to make an appointment, received an email saying well unable to book me again due to breakdown in communications, which don't see this as mature reply, will send these coments to NHS complaints authority, WOULD NEVER RECEOMMEND THIS PLACE AGAIN
Hi Max, thank you for leaving us a review. I must say reading your other reviews, there definitely seems to be a theme! We work in health care and take pride in helping our patients, however we will not tolerate rude behavior towards our staff hence asking you to seek alternative dental care.

Thank you for the review!
Positive experience: Attended today. Feedback. 1. I'm not overly keen on completing paperwork on line but that seems to be the way of things nowadays so what the heck. 2. There was a minor mix up about time of appointment- resolved quickly and efficiently by the pleasant desk staff. 3. I walked into the surgery 15 minutes later than the appointment time. No obvious reason for the delay and no apology. 4. Dentist took time to helpfully answer my questions.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we do sometimes run a little late due to the nature of our business but I'm sorry to hear that you were not advised of this, we will ensure we take this feedback onboard

Thank you for the fantastic feedback, Amy!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! All of the staff I have met so far are just fantastic! Amit and Laura have such a comedic rapport too, and you can just tell that they love their work. Stef and Sam are so lovely, and it's nice to go somewhere and be remembered (hopefully for the right reasons, haha!) I felt treated like a person, not just the "next client". My final fitting of 9 new top teeth was today, and I'm blown away by how great they look, such a much needed confidence boost! Thanks a million, billion, trillion times over! Overwhelmed! xxx
