Castle Dental Care: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I didn’t realise that in my 60+ years that dental hygienist was very important, until I joined the Castle Dental Care practice. I had a shock when I found out I had gum disease even with my daily routine of dental flossing and brushing my teeth twice a day with a basic toothbrush. Changing my habits was difficult, but with the advice from the hygienists, I bought an electric toothbrush and was further educated on the use of interdental brushes. With much perseverance and patience from the hygienists. I am now on the right track to healthy gums. Many thanks to the hygienists for their hard work, much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Super level of care
Fantastic experience: Slight fear of the dentist but I was bit at ease. Lovely clean environment and professional and knowledgeable staff!
Fantastic experience: I feel fortunate to have Castle Dental Care as my local dentist. State of the art practice and equipment and the team are brilliant. Reception team are lovely and the advice and care I get from Dave and Caroline and all of the other brilliant clinicians is excellent. Both dentist and hygienist see me together so we can have a chat about my dental care holistically. It makes so much sense. My partner, in-laws and parents all go and have the same excellent experience .
Fantastic experience: Always excellent and prompt service - no hesitation to recommend.
Fantastic experience: As always fast efficient and comprehensive service - thank you
Fantastic experience: Both my wife and I required dental surgery by Mr Duncan Thomas. Throughout the process Duncan took great care and explained fully the procedure. This was carried out thoroughly and painlessly and Duncan has now 2 very satisfied customers. If Duncan has been unavailable we have also been seen by his colleagues, Dave and Pan, who have given the same caring professional service. Now in our sixth year with this practice.
Fantastic experience: Great experience, friendly people.

Fantastic experience: Use of air polisher really helped. Much more comfortable experience and less sensitivity.
Fantastic experience: 2 Years ago at the age of 78, I became terrified of going to the dentist following a breakdown . Previously I had always been to the dentist regularly. The care and help I received from Pan has been miraculous, I now look forward without fear to my dental appointments. Thankyou Castle Street.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience. Can’t thank the team enough for their care and attention
Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency appointment to have a tooth removed. I rang the practice first thing and was given a lunchtime slot. Duncan was brilliant! He explained the process, then took an x-ray prior to starting the procedure. Afterwards, he gave me a list of what to do and what not to do to ensure a good recovery. I am a patient with this practice, and have been forever! I liked the old premises, but their new ones are absolutely fantastic, as are the staff. If you're looking to register with a dentist, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks again Duncan!

Negative experience: On Monday, 9th December 2024 I had an appointment for a dental check-up and hygienist visit with yourselves at 11am. I have never missed an appointment at short notice (to my knowledge) up to that date and have been with you for many, many years. Unfortunately, at 10.30 on the date in question, I found that my car had a flat battery and, living in Rothbury, I was physically unable to make my appointment. I then had to wait for the AA to repair my car and have no alternative transport. I immediately phoned your surgery, apologised to the receptionist, explained why I was not able to attend to make the appointment and rebooked for a January date. Today, I have opened a posted letter from a receptionist (un-named), informing me of your short notice policy, requiring 24 hours’ notice for a cancellation and could I bear this in mind going forwards. Do I need to explain the ridiculousness of this letter? The waste of everyone’s time and postage costs? Also, insultingly, the underlying suggestion that I must have been lying (as how else would the letters request be relevant on this occasion?). I took all of the above action as soon as I could but still someone felt it necessary to send me a’ telling off’ note and request the impossible in the circumstances I was presented with and had taken the time to explain with an apology. If I had known 24 hours before that I would have a flat battery, it would have been resolved on the day and I would have been there for my appointment. Unfortunately, I am not psychic and nor am I in the habit of just not bothering with a commitment on the day and lying about it. If your immediate (and the standard but idiotic ) response to this is ‘well this is the company policy,’ I would suggest someone actually thinks first: is this circumstance actually relevant to our policy? Before wasting everyone’s time and frankly indirectly accusing someone of possibly lying. Either your policy is not fit for purpose or there is a significant disconnect between someone’s brain and a typing finger. Your letter asks me to bear in mind your policy going forward, perhaps your new Company or staff need to bear in mind that not all unforeseen circumstances give us that luxury of 24 hours notice and also that such a follow up letter suggests that you felt that the person involved just couldn’t be bothered and lied on the day. Stevie Stone
Dear Stevie,
We are deeply sorry for the frustration this has caused, it was not our intention to make you feel accused or disrespected by our policy letter. Unfortunately, due to increased short notice cancellations over the past 2 years we have had to implement a system generated letter that sends to every person who cancels under 24 hours. We have had 20 hours of surgery time last month wasted as not everyone is as conscientious as yourself, this is valuable time we could have offered to patients in need. We really appreciate you getting in touch to let us know you could not attend due to unforeseen circumstances, we shall let our team know that you should have been made aware about the system generated letter being sent automatically when the appointment is cancelled. We appreciate your years of loyalty and hope to still provide your dental care in the future.
Kind regards,
Castle Dental Care.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient here for quite a few years now and couldn’t be happier with the attention and care I have received. All the staff couldn’t be more helpful and I have total confidence in everyone I have seen. There is a bonus as well, the new premises are superb!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you have been happy with the care and attention you have received from our staff over the years. We take great pride in providing top-notch service to all of our patients and it's wonderful to hear that you have total confidence in us. We're also glad you're enjoying our new premises! Thank you all your support.
Kind regards,
Castle Dental Care

Fantastic experience: I called Market street dentist on Thursday 5th September after many failed attempts in other practices for an emergency extraction appointment. The women on the phone was lovely and very polite and booked me in for 11:20am the following day. I was extremely anxious for getting my tooth out but my dentist was very friendly and gentle, he explained everything he was doing and at the time and reassured me everything was fine. My tooth was removed and he told me after care advice. I would highly recommend this practice as not only are they welcoming but they’re understanding of people like me who are anxious of dentist. Thank you again Market street Dentist.
Fantastic experience: Feel comfortable and confident after my appointment with David
Fantastic experience: I have recently moved to Alnwick and needed a dentist. I had been with my previous dentist for over 10 years. I am a very nervous patient and need a dentist to put me at my ease. Market street dental Practice has ticked all the boxes. Mr Pan Pericleous has been brilliant, explaining what he is doing and most importantly I don't feel nervous. I would recommend him and Market Street Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Put me at ease , very friendly dentist , no judgement , 100% recommend, especially , if like me , you have an irrational fear of dentists
Fantastic experience: Great Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: As a recent new patient to the practice, I’ve been delighted with my treatment thus far, and have been greeted with warmth and professionalism. Both Josie & Zoe have offered extremely friendly and impartial advice on how best to move forward with my aging teeth. The whole of the practice offers a very caring ethos that gives the patient confidence in their dental choice. Thank you to all.
Fantastic experience: I've recently located to area & hadn't attended a dentist for a few years. My initial appointment with Josie was the most relaxed I've ever been(nervous patient!). A 2nd appt for a necessary tooth extraction was completed with so much patience & care that I wasn't even aware the tooth was out! All staff are friendly & welcoming & I look forward(that's never been in my vocabulary)to attending further appointments with Josie to dispel this awful nervousness. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: The very best of 21st century dental treatments provided by caring, friendly and professional staff.
Fantastic experience: First visit to the practice but my first impression is that they are very welcoming at reception, my dentist was also friendly and explained what she was doing and why throughout my examination.
Fantastic experience: An excellent experience as always.
Fantastic experience: Always a lovely greeting at reception and a new dentist today
Fantastic experience: Consistently good quality support throughout all visits.
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best dentist practices around. From reception to the dentistry and hygienist everything is done professionally. I cannot praise this them enough. I travel approximately 40 miles round trip for this service and believe this is well worth my while. Regards Derek
Fantastic experience: Very good practice but prices are very high.
Fantastic experience: Had another very good visit And happy to see the effort in our joint plans are giving great results for my him health.
Fantastic experience: As a nervous patient, I must complement hygienist Zoe. She is excellent! Empathetic, highly skilled and very clear in describing what she is doing and future actions required. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care. Very efficient, fast and painless. Prices are very affordable and all the steps were well described as we went along for my care. I'm impressed with all the office staff and the care I received.

Fantastic experience: My experience of dental care at Market Street Dental Practice is always positive. The dentist and hygienist are friendly and help to relax you before any treatment. They always provide a clear explanation of the treatment they are doing and answer any questions. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: As a new patient I was extremely satisfied with the treatment I received. The staff explained in detail the dental work I needed and their approach was highly professional whilst being friendly and reassuring. A very welcome change to my previous dentist! First time I need an emergency appointment I have to wait 4 days. Receptionist did not ask if I was in pain. Disappointing.
Fantastic experience: I had a appointment to see Miss J Tuckwell, sorry can’t remember first name. She was lovely, as I’ve said before I’m a very nervous patient. However I felt calm as she spoke to me. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Lovely young lady dentist very professional almost a pleasure visiting a dentist! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Always an excellent caring group from all staff
Fantastic experience: Professional and always a warm welcome
Fantastic experience: It is a private practice run very well but it is starting to become a process rather than people focused service. Notably appointment's are now at their convenience rather than the patient. You get a notification a fortnight before your due which is no use if you work away or have school age children’s. At this point your appointment slips until you can make it. Great for them not so much for the customers. But that’s the owners not the staff, the staff are amazing.
Hi Peter, thanks for your kind words about our team. We're sorry we've had to temporarily withdraw the ability to book regular examination visits six months in advance. As you are probably aware, we will be moving to our fabulous new premises in a few months time. As we don't know the exact date for the move it made sense to ask our patients to wait for us to contact them when their recalls are due rather than have to upset lots of people by rearranging appointments as we inevitably will have some temporary disruption. We look forward to welcoming you to the new site when we will hopefully be able to reintroduce the facility to book six months in advance.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional, as normal.
Fantastic experience: As always great customer service and reassuring expertise.
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment, all the staff are really friendly and very efficient. I would recommend Market Street Dental Practice especially to anyone who has a fear of visiting the dentist from any previous bad experiences elsewhere. Thank you everyone.

Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist. Makes me feel at ease and confident.
Fantastic experience: This practice is highly recommend. If you are a nervous patient or it's your first time this is definitely the practice to go to.
