Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service from start to finish. I was in as an emergency and haven't had great experiences with dentists in the past but the ladies were so lovely to me and reassured me all the way throughout. Would definitely reccomend
Fantastic experience: Nice girls Nice atmosphere I am always relaxed Always fix my teeth issues ❤️
Fantastic experience: I had to have a very awkward extraction,as the tooth had broken below the gumline. It was painless & over in no time. Plenty of after care advice. I find every member of staff a delight. Well done to all,for taking the dread out of a dentist visit.
Fantastic experience: Very professional great experience
Fantastic experience: As a new patient I was given an appointment for my wife a myself with no problem! A lovely new building and state of the art treatment rooms. Very welcoming and discussed possible treatment options for any dental work needed after initial examination and X rays. Over all a great first visit,Thanks.
Fantastic experience: I recommend this clinic to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely A* service from Smart Smiles Ystrad. I phoned yesterday with an emergency due to an impacted wisdom tooth and was immediately greeted by the friendly receptionist which instantly put me at ease before I even walked through the door. I was promptly seen by Deesha who took an xray and recommended the best course of action would be extraction. I was already nervy about the procedure due to historical issues with another dentist but knew it needed to be done. Deesha put me at ease explaining what would be done, aftercare and general info regarding extraction & the tooth was extracted within 10 mins (5mins max to actually remove the tooth) with ZERO pain or swelling to the area after unlike an extraction I had previously had done elsewhere. I honestly couldn’t thank the team enough for everything they did. Booked straight back in for more work in the coming weeks.
Fantastic experience: Great appointment with hygienist at Smart Smiles. Very friendly and professional as always and the clean was very thorough. Always puts me at ease and explains everything.
Fantastic experience: Very good seen quickly and problem spotted so booked for filling.Great service with a smile..
Fantastic experience: Been going here for over a year, felt compelled to leave a review after my appointment today. First time I’ve had a filling in many years and I’m a nervous passenger. Ifrah is a fantastic dentist, didn’t catch the dental nurses name but they are both great at what they do. Highly recommend the private plan to anyone thinking about it. Peace of mind and regular check ups. The practice also sends you reminders via text and email for appointments if you are rubbish at timekeeping like me. Thanks again for today :)
Fantastic experience: Today I had two appointments. One for my 6 months check up with the dentist and another for my quarterly check up with the hygienist. From entering the door to leaving, I was made to feel safe and welcomed. Everyone working at Smart Smiles are very professional. I felt safe in their hands.
Fantastic experience: Always good customer service and help full yes10 out of.10
Thankyou for your review it is greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes

Fantastic experience: I have not been to a dentist for 25 years due to being terrified!! Had to go as I had terrible toothache. Took my husband 10 mins to coax me from the car.

Hello Amanda,
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our practice. We are glad that you are satisfied with the service you have received. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Kind Regards, Georgia
Negative experience: Not happy put of extraction because of no inr result but was not told to get one. Really pissed me off another days wage lost...
Positive experience: Ifrah was great with me. I’m absolutely awful as a patient with a massive fear. I’m sure she needed a strong coffee after I left. Thank you for being great with me. Only comment I wanted to make is the reception situation. When I entered there were 3 people sat behind the desk. No one glanced up or acknowledged me, which was confusing as I didn’t know whether to take a seat or come up to the desk. Same happened when I finished my treatment. All three sat busy on their computers and I was unsure which one to speak to. As a neurodiverse person I found it difficult.
Fantastic experience: Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at the Dentist, both the reception staff and Dr Rahman were amazing. I know that they will look after me any time I return ☺️
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Very welcoming and understanding. Helped myself and my son who is autistic with dental fear and sensitive gag reflex. Both of us are able to go with no worries and have got better with our gag with the help of the dentists. Charlotte King and her nurses are amazing, kind and all round warming. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: First time I've been here and was very impressed. Keep up the good work guys.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I've ever had
Fantastic experience: Proffessional, friendly service, very pleased!
Fantastic experience: I am a very nervous patient, thank you so much Charlotte King for putting me at ease it really means alot. Lovely staff in the dentist thank you all.
Fantastic experience: Excellent'
Positive experience: Lovely reception and friendly staff, everything explained and the process of extraction was given by myself when I felt nothing after checks.
Fantastic experience: Really pleased with attitude of all staff. Also great care.
Fantastic experience: Safe happy environment

Fantastic experience: Previous dentist retired and transferred to Smart Smiles so this was my initial appointment as a new patient. Thoroughly impressed with reception staff courtesy, efficiency and friendly approach. The general atmosphere of the practice is calm, welcoming and immaculate. No waiting around and dentist carried out full exam, took x-rays, discussed my general health and agreed a forward treatment - he explained everything clearly and was very approachable. I left feeling reassured and confident that I would receive the treatment I need

Fantastic experience: First class staff and so friendly would recommend make you feel at ease
Negative experience: Disgusting practice that has gone down hill massively since Phil sold up, they recently signed off a family member due to missing an appointment without any warning letter… that family member has mental health issues and sometimes can't even leave the house because of their condition, you need to be more considerate instead of thinking of the money,!!! With a very arrogant manager..
Dear Mr Llewellin
Thank you for your review, We are sorry to hear of your family members current medical affairs.
As a practice we welcome all comments and concerns regarding the quality of our care and service and aim to deal with any concerns you may have.
Due to patient confidentiality unfortunately we are limited on what we can comment. However on reviewing your family members records the reason they were removed from our NHS list was due to poor attendance and being aggressive to staff. This then determined that their NHS space was allocated to someone else in need, In line with NHS Regulations and the practice policy as supported by Aneurin Bevan Health Board.
As you can imagen we have limited NHS capacity and failed appointments are a serious problem to the National Health Service. It wastes money and prevents other patients from being seen.
Regarding your money comment, dentistry is one of the few NHS services where you have to pay a contribution towards the cost of your care. Unfortunately we do not set these fees, NHS fees are set by the Welsh government. More information can be found at www.gov.wales/nhs-dental-charges-and-exemptions.
Moving forward, If you would like to discuss your family members concerns in more detail, please contact the practice on 01443 813136 and speak to Billie.
In the meantime If your family member is in pain and in need urgent dental treatment, they can telephone the Gwent Dental Helpline on 01633 74438. Also a list of other dental practices can be obtained online by visiting www.wales.nhs.uk/ourservices/findannhsdentist.
Thank you once again for taking the time to leave a review.

Negative experience: Absolutely disgusting that I have been kicked off as an NHS patient for missing one appointment due to a family emergency, without any warning letter ever received

Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist, I needed to have a dental examination, requested by my DR's surgery, as I have a dread of dentist surgeries, I was very relieved the way the staff treated me with kindness and patience. I booked an emergency private appointment, telephoned at 9am seen the same day. I have little fear in future of retuning to this dentist should the need arise.
Hi Rob, Thankyou for taking the time to leave us this review. It means a lot to our team and other patients are grateful seeing the positive feedback :-) So glad you had a positive experience with us, and we are looking forward to seeing you again in the practice again one day.
