Vitality Dental Care: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I was insecure about my teeth for years, but Omar and his team have been absolutely fantastic. My teeth are looking great, and I finally feel confident enough to smile again. The entire team is always so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend them
Fantastic experience: had an absolutely amazing experience here! my dentists Simran and Omar went out of their way to provide excellent patient care. Never been happier with my treatment plan all thanks to the whole team who worked together to provide the best possible outcomes for me. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and treatments! Friendly and professional staff! Fantastic practice!
Fantastic experience: The reception desk is always very welcoming. Dr Omar and Dr Adam are always both so helpful and patient with even more nervous patients
Fantastic experience: Great experience from start to finish with special mention to Darren, Tracey and Dr Omar and Dr Vasco, a special team all round and highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Excellent professional staff such as Adam, Darren and Tracy- good humoured and kind
Fantastic experience: Just finished my treatment with Dr Omar and he’s has done an amazing job. I was really insecure about my teeth and he kindly explained my options and really advocated for as little intervention as possible to keep a natural smile. Couldn’t be happier with the end result.
Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience with Vitality Dental Care & would recommend them for anyone nervous about trying a new dentist. I have had a few consultations and procedures done by Adam and his assistant who are lovely. They take great care to talk you through the issues and treatment, are friendly and warm & you feel very taken care of.
Fantastic experience: Great service, very professional, strongly recommend
Fantastic experience: Done wonders lak
Fantastic experience: Had my tooth filled here and the result was excellent! Only took about half an hour to fix my broken teeth, and it looks exactly like my old tooth. Recommend here
Fantastic experience: Since coming to this practice I’ve always had fantastic, friendly service. Dr Lopes is very approachable and caring and explains any procedure each step of the way so I’m kept informed of treatment options and work being done. A special mention for Tracy at reception also. She is always warm, friendly and caring and will do her best at all times to provide options or answer my queries always all with a smile. These are the sort of things which make a difference, especially when attending the dentist which can often be a stressful experience. Everyone at Vitality does their best to make you feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: Vitality dental clinic is exceptional! I was seen by Dr Adam who was not only professional and diligent, but also extremely friendly and did a fantastic job answering all my questions and explaining the issues with my teeth. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Adam is very professional, heard me out completely, explained the problem in my teeth and provided me with alternatives. He is very patient, kind and his words were affirmative.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! I have always hated going to the dentist as I’d had a very anxious dentist in portobello, who made me feel uneasy on every visit. I looked for a new dentist, and after reading reviews, decided to swap to Vitality Dental Care a year ago. I have had appointments with both Dr Adam and Dr Omar. Both of them are incredible at what they do, they are both so calm and reassuring. I bit into (what I believed to be) a pitted olive on Sunday which unfortunately had a full olive stone in it. It knocked out my front canine tooth. This has required lots of appointments and decisions but Vitality couldn’t have been more helpful nor supportive in guiding me through the process and explaining all my options. Today I had root canal treatment with Dr Adam. I was extremely nervous as had heard horror stories about root canal, but it was absolutely fine. I couldn’t believe how skilled he was and how relaxed he made me feel before, during, and after treatment. My partner, colleague and friend are all trying to swap dentist to vitality after how much I’ve raved about the service. I would (and have been) recommending Vitality to everyone. Tracy at reception is so friendly, professional and informative every time I call (which has been often this last week). I have no worries or nerves about my second root canal treatment in 2 weeks thanks to Vitality. Thank you Tracy, Dr Adam and Dr Omar for your outstanding service.
Fantastic experience: Honestly, my best dental experience was with Dr"Adam" at Vitality Dental Care today morning.He pulled out my wisdom tooth on the up left side, which was completely gone,without the need for surgery and without even feeling any pain or pressure and finished so quickly. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: couldn’t have had a better experience amazing results in such a quick amount of time and all staff are super friendly
Fantastic experience: That was so nice. The dentist was so patient.
Fantastic experience: The atmosphere is nice, the staff are friendly and professional, Dr Lopes have be a detailed consultation on my issue and offered a feasible solution.
Fantastic experience: Adam did a great job - I had my wisdom tooth extraction here and everything was explained really well to me about the procedure,as well as the recovery process.
Fantastic experience: Signing up as an NHS dental patient was super easy. Got myself registered and had a check-up appointment booked all on the same call. Went in today, was seen on time, Adam was super nice, explained my situation and gave me options.
Fantastic experience: Had a flawless experience. Booking the appointment was easy, met the dentist exactly at the time of appointment. The receptionist was friendly and super-helpful. The dentist (I saw the male one whose office is on the right) was really friendly and proffessional. I got my teeth cleaned and a cavity filled. This experience single-handedly saved my impression of the NHS!
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best dentists I've been with. Everyone who works there is very friendly. They go above and beyond for their patients. The dentist takes the time to talk through your options and any treatment. I have been complimented on my teeth since having them done. I'm a very nervous patient and I trust them fully. I have told those who asked where the dentists are based and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist.
Fantastic experience: I recommend dr. Vasco
Fantastic experience: Had a very nice and comfortable experience here. The staff and dentists here are very friendly, always help comfort me during my treatments. Also very satisfied with the treatment itself, my teeth felt better than ever.
Fantastic experience: I have been a customer of Vitality for 8 years now. I have had fantastic service, they have kept my teeth in great health. Always greeted with a smile Delighted to have been able to recently register my mum here to.
Fantastic experience: Dr Omar Ali and the whole team are outstanding and so professional. I highly recommend Vitality Dental Care without any hesitation. Dr Omar is patient, innovative and meticulous. Vitality Dental Care is what you would call “best in class”.
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience with this place. I’m usually pretty afraid of going to the dentist but the front reception team was so kind and made me feel like it wouldn’t be so scary. Then I met my dentist Adam who was extremely kind and reassuring that we could fix any issue. His calmness, kindness, and confidence made me feel very relaxed. I usually never leave a dentist office happy but both times with this place I have. In addition, Adam did amazing work on my mouth, it was painless, professional, and relaxed. The nurses were very helpful and kind. Overall, this is the best experience I’ve ever had at the dentists. Thank you very much!!
Fantastic experience: I am really satisfied with the Invisalign treatment I received at Vitality. Dr. Omar always provided me with professional suggestions. I am glad that they have monthly check-ups to ensure everything is on track. The team always responds to my questions as quickly as possible.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, will be returning back!
Fantastic experience: Really pleased with my experience at vitality. I’m towards the end of my Invisalign process and I’m really happy with the results. It’s great having 4-week check-ups as well. Always respond to any questions really quickly and are helpful. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Omar has been brilliant from start to finish with my treatment. I started with Invisalign and then finished off with some composite bonding. Delighted.
Fantastic experience: I was really happy with my experience at Vitality. Dr Omar was amazing and sorted a tooth that had been bothering me for a long time. Always a great service and really nice staff :)
Fantastic experience: Honestly can’t recommend this place enough, always the best treatments by Dr Omar and the team, so happy with my results!
Fantastic experience: Mi experiencia a sido genial, tanto por el doctor Omar, que a sido el que se a encargado de mi plan y el cual se adaptado a mis condiciones y situación. Además la gente en la clínica a sido muy amable y atenta.
Fantastic experience: Hi I'm with omar I was a bit worried about dentists but omar talked me through everything he was going to do and put my mind at ease from the moment you enter you get a warm welcome from the receptionist and the dental nurses are always very professional in what they do which means I can relax I can honestly say it's been a very pleasant experience getting to know the staff and looking forward to my next visit once again thanks very much George Clegg.
Negative experience: The worst dentists and horrible experience
Fantastic experience: The staff here are Lovely. The dentist was great. Thank you guys ✌
Fantastic experience: Dr Omar Ali is amazing. Really experienced, friendly and makes you feel relaxed. The receptionist Hannah is really helpful and efficient. Thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: I recently joined this practice and so far it has been very welcoming. Both Darren and Vasco made me feel at ease during my time at the practice, giving good advice in all things dental.
Fantastic experience: The receptionist was super friendly, and Dr Omar was amazing, I am absolutely delighted with the results.:Perfectly done, giving me so much more confidence smiling. , Highly recommend !
Fantastic experience: The staff here are Lovely. The dentist was great. Had to come in an emergency and felt I was dealt with promptly and compassionately. Thank you guys
Negative experience: Dr Omar Ali was really friendly and approachable . He also gave some teeth hygiene tips :) Recommend!. Edit: Went back to my home country to find out how sloppy the work actually was. The case where dentists literally point out to my crown to say : Look how bad it is , and that’s how they do it over there . Still need to take extra care of my tooth .
Fantastic experience: I really like my dentist and reception ladies in this clinic! Due to an emergency I can't arrive on time, Nadya was very helpful and she is always amazing! They also replies to email quickly, make my appointment easy and enjoyable. The dentist and nurses are also gem, very patient and friendly, trying to explain to me clearly so I can understand
Negative experience: Come back to write this review after almost 6 years because the root canal that I had here wasn't done properly, and I have been getting re-infection with excruciating pain 2/3 times a year. To solve the issue I will have to re-do the root canal which will cost at least £4~£5k and can only be done with a specialist. Avoid surgery-type procedure in this practice, it will ruin your life.
Negative experience: I've never met a ruder receptionist. Didn't even look up when we were dialoguing, and spoke in a dismissive and condescending way. I commented on the paperwork quantity when registering, and she just told me to get on with it. The dentist emailed her clients asking them to give five star Google reviews in exchange for a donation to an animal sanctuary. Be aware of this, in case some of these reviews are from that and not from reality. After getting a checkup, I was TOLD what work needed to be done instead of being walked through my options, like with the other 3 dentists I've used. I felt railroaded. And they are expensive for the standard of service. Never went back I should add, this was around 2 years ago. Maybe they have changed since.
Negative experience: It was a really good experience..Dr Brooks was exceptional
Fantastic experience: If you want a place where you are supported every step of the way during your treatment, look no further. Dr Ali goes out of his way for his patients every single time and Nadya at the reception is so trustworthy and helpful. I encourage you to try them out! Thanks Dr Ali and Nadya for all your help
Fantastic experience: Great service and very friendly dentist
Negative experience: This a completely waste of money. The dentist Fauzia told me that my gums were in a really bad condition so I needed a dental cleaning asap which was a lie but they wanted to charge me 60 pounds for that so I said no and she was insisting all the time that it needs to be done. I got an appointment with other two dentist and they told me that my gums are perfect and my teeth very clean so I don't need any extra cleaning. After that I got a teeth filled (I paid 120 pounds) because she said that this kind of filling was the best. Since that moment it had been hurting me so I got a new appointment and she said the same thing, that my teeth was hurting because I need a dental cleaning. I won't come back.
Fantastic experience: really nice place, kind receptionist,and Dr.Ali is the best dentist I met!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! My wife needed an emergency crown glued back in and Dr Omar Ali was very accommodating. He explained the process in detail very thoroughly. We were here on vacation and Vitality saved the day! Thanks again for fitting her in!
Negative experience: I rarely write reviews, but feel like I need to explain my issues with this dentist, I spent a lot to have my old silver fillings taken out and replaced with white ones along with a number of root canals and crowns all done here. After nearly 3 months of work and going back and fore I’ve been left with crowns that are different colour and had to be worn down (by the dentist) to make them fit and a number of my fillings removed as there was decay left behind. Needless to say my teeth were in a bad way but felt that as the ranting imply this dentist could rectify my issues I was wrong. It’s nearly two years later and my new dentist has revolved my issues and had replaced all the work that this outfit carried out including replaying my crowns.( and fitting and implant tooth, as this dentist just wanted to remove one of my teeth ) Please be careful of this place as they are over worked and seemingly pushed for time to get each patient out the door.
Fantastic experience: You know when I'm compelled to write a glowing recommendation of a dentist, it must be an absolutely stellar dental office. And it really is - the dentist is thorough, efficient, concise in explanation, and very gentle in his treatment. I've been here for several years now, and he's always on time too, which is a rarity. Excellent all around.
Fantastic experience: I want to thank Dr. Ali and staff for being so wonderful in helping me with my dental work. After my latest procedure, I feel even more gratitude for the staff at Vitality Dental. For 3 years, I was dealing with a bad tooth and had anxiety about dealing with a dentist. That all changed when I came to your practice. I feel better and I want to thank you all for that. Thank you all for creating a friendly and comforting atmosphere as well. Many well wishes!
Negative experience: I had an appointment with Dr. Omar Ali. He did a really fast job. When it was finished, I was expecting him to let me see the results in the mirror. But, he was speeding things up, so I can leave ASAP from the room. I left, but I still had powder in my mouth (techinly you have to mouth wash just after the Dr. finished cleanse plus shipping my tooth). So, I was feeling really uncomfortable until I got home and I finally manage to take rid of all the powder in my mouth. When I look at myself in the mirror, the was a piece of the "fake tooth" sticking out. So, I had to go again. Really unprofessional and a time consuming as I had to go twice. I don't recomend it!
Negative experience: Unprofessional dental care with rude receptionists who should think about a career change. Given the continued difficulty of getting appointments, and always endlessly waiting to be seen when I do get one, I will simply find another dentsl practice that does not treat its patients with contempt.
Fantastic experience: Dr Omar Ali was brilliant. He took the time to explain what he was doing, what he was looking for and the implications of what he found. He offered excellent advice on how to care for my teeth and gums, showing me on the xrays the importance of following his advice - I cannot recommend him highly enough. First class service and every member of the team was helpful and polite. Thank you, I will definitely continue to visit Dr Ali.
Fantastic experience: since Coming to this dentist the work I have received from dr Ali has been excellent. So professional and the quality of work carried out so much better than my last dentist. Can’t recommend him enough .
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Dr Omar for quite a while now. His service and treatment are very good as he always explains everything in detail and he takes his time with the treatments, Would 100% recommend Vitality Dental Care.
Fantastic experience: Fauzia Taj is a wonderful dentist. Professional, caring and very enthusiastic with kids. Would definitely recommend for both adults and children.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the practice and Dr Fauzia Taj. 5 stars isn’t enough! She is always charming and considerate, taking time to explain procedures, costs and options. If you’re looking for a professional and skilled dentist this is the place to be.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for a while now and Dr Ali always gives me the best possible service. Always welcoming and explains procedures with detail and always clears up any concern I have regardless of how small an issue.
Fantastic experience: I have known Dr Omar Ali both professionally and personally for many years. I cannot speak any more highly of him: the quality of his treatment is unparalleled. He presents in an extremely friendly manner, taking the time to explain, in full detail, the treatment required, the background behind why such treatment is needed, and the cost implications to bring my teeth back to a full state of repair. I have dealt with many dentists over the years, but without any hesitation, i would recommend Dr Ali as the 'go to' dentist in Edinburgh!
Fantastic experience: A lovey clinic with even lovelier staff. I was treated by Dr. Omar who was just fantastic. Top quality treatment. Couldn’t recommend this clinic highly enough!
Negative experience: Complete.joke! Since new dentists came in this place has gone to pot! Waiting months. Numerous cancelled appointments with no reason given.. Appointments system failure. Record system failure When you do get in running 40 minutes late dentist says she's always late...she talks a lot all ..dentists are late. See the other dentist in the practice if you like... he's not usually late ! Make appointment at your own peril....
Negative experience: Awful. I moved to Edinburgh and looked for a dentist and went by the reviews. This one had decent reviews so I though it would be fine. But I got to my appointment 15 mins early, only to wait for nearly an hour. I finally had my appointment and the lady was so rude and genuinely did not care to ask about history or anything. It felt as if she was annoyed I was even there. She then checked my teeth and was so rough that It was genuinely uncomfortable and painful. She then stopped and said I need another appointment and the next will be for X-rays and cleaning. This appointment had genuinely been 2 minutes. I did go a second time and she was meant to clean my teeth but decided to again be so forceful and rough that I had to ask her to stop! She decided I need 6!! Fillings and I needed to come back. I have now gone to Meadowbank, which everyone at work recommended and it was very professional, careful cleaning and I ended up needing ONE not SIX fillings. So it also seems to be true that this place is forcing procedures on you for money. Awful... never coming back.
Negative experience: I have recently moved to Edinburgh and my first dental appoint was a couple of weeks ago, it was with with a female dentist, I believe her name was Fozia. This was easily the worst dental visit of my life. My experience was not so dissimilar to other 1 star reviews on this page. I was taken at least 20 minutes late, and my appointment was rushed. She cleaned my teeth in under 2 minutes and was so rough. It left my gums sore for days after. To make matters worse, she said I needed to have 4 new fillings. I found this hard to imagine since my last dental appointment (8 months ago in another practice) found no existing cavities, and I had since been brushing with a high fluoride toothpaste. I subsequently went for a second opinion at 2 other clinics and was told my teeth were absolutely fine. This screams of both malpractice and sheer incompetence. It is completely irresponsible for Vitality (and the NHS) to employ people like her. Finally, at the end of my appointment I requested a prescription for high flouride toothpaste. She said she would give it to me next time because she could not find her prescription pad. It was only after I really pushed her did she bother to look about. It was right beside her under a folder. I remember sitting there, genuinely dumbfounded that she was practicing dentistry. Vitality, despite its good overall rating, has at least 10 percent of its ratings as 1 star. I am sure there are good dentists at this practice, and you might get lucky, but there are a number of clinics in Edinburgh with more impressive ratings which I would urge you to explore, as I did. You should not gamble with your teeth.
Fantastic experience: I have a teeth removal and root treatment there.It totally alleviates my teeth problem and overcomes my fear against the dentist! I really recommend the dentist named Omar.He is very professional and friendly dentist.Even more,he treat my teeth very gently and minimize the degree of pain for me with his talented skill.I am very thankful for him! So don’t hesitates to check up in Dental care!
Negative experience: Lovely dentist, very efficient and a nice clean and inviting office. Well that was last time with Alexandra Konstinato. That dentist has left. This time, appointment changed by them, then they were running late. The new dentist was rude, condescending, recommended work that wasn't needed and spent the whole thing upselling unnecessary treatment. She told me I needed to replace a perfectly stable filling with a white one. Needed, she didn't ask if I wanted it. Tried to upsell teeth straightening. Told me I needed to change my lifestyle and made (incorrect) assumptions about me, just because my teeth were a bit caffeine stained. Not going back
Fantastic experience: I visited Vitality Dental back in October for a check-up and clean up. I had neglected my dental health for almost 5 years! I didn't have any problems but as a smoker and coffee drinker my teeth were stained and had plaque. I had a deep cleaning with Alexandra Konstantinou in two sessions and I couldn't be happier with her service. I've experienced no irritation or pain at all and my smile was better and healthier than ever. I strongly recommend the practice, very friendly and helpful receptionists, and Alexandra Konstantinou.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, clear and kind doctor! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Over the past 5 months I've had a few appointments at Vitality Edinburgh with Omar. Initially I visited to get my braces fitted but was a bit sceptical due to a past experience when I was younger with Braces at a different dentist. Omar explained how this routine would work and after my consultation was available to work immediately and his assistants as well as the receptionists where all friendly and professional. My retainer will be available within 3 days and I've been given clear instructions on how these should work and given assurance I can call to speak with Omar if I have any questions. Due to the quality of work I received I've now moved from another practice to use Vitality as my permanent dentist in future. Prices were very reasonable and all in all I was really impressed with every appointment and member of staff I've spoken with and would have no issue referring any of my friends or family.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly staff. After initial appointment i was made aware of different options for treatment.
Fantastic experience: Brilliantly kind stress reducing patient lady dentist exceluent facilities and care on every way
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, short waiting times, easy online booking for appointments and professionally advice.
Fantastic experience: I was impressed with the high level of care from Dr Omar Ali when getting a check-up, he explained everything well and was very approachable. would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, easy to get an appointment, and the team knows how to make you relax before your check-up. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: It was a really good experience. they where very informative. love the experience.
Fantastic experience: Given the honesty and commitment to their customers, I consider the service to be excellent
Positive experience: The dentist's hands smelled like cigarette smoke, he damaged my lip with some polishing tape and floss and the assistant was easily distracted and not paying attention to my pained face when she pushed the instruments too hard. It's cheap and they're nice people, but professionally speaking, wouldn't really recommend.
Fantastic experience: It's the university place for dental and optical (glasses etc.) care, I think it's great. They have both NHS and private options available and would explain and then let you choose by yourself. I've only met Dr. Alexandra, she and her assistants are very nice. :) I have very bad teeth, very unfortunately... They sometimes are full of appointments, I think in busy times I can only get appointments after two weeks, but normally it's fine, less or about one week. I think this place for students is nice.
Fantastic experience: Service was really quick and smooth! Dr. Alexandra was very gentle with my teeth and gave me useful advice on dental care. Will be back to clean my teeth in a few days time!
Fantastic experience: Friendly reception staff and nice set up. I have had Alexandra as my dentist and she was quick and thorough with her work, nothing to fault her by.
Fantastic experience: Really recommend this dentist. Dr Omar is super friendly and professional. The receptionists are always helpful too and will send reminders for appointments.
Fantastic experience: Really great service. Friendly and helpful staff, who explain everything very clearly. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional. Also a great location for university students.
Fantastic experience: Great practice. It was very quick to get an appointment from the lovely receptionist. My dentist - Omar Ali - is helpful, honest and charismatic and I highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Fast, helpful, and effective dental care, with a commitment to social conscience.
Positive experience: Good service, as a student it is very convenient. If you are clear of your financial needs and situation they are very understanding. The dentist I always go to is Alexandra.
Negative experience: Found the experience nothing like that of a normal dentist. Everything is centred on trying to up sell rather than patient care. If you're looking for a new dentist I'd extremely recommend you continue searching.
Fantastic experience: Friendly people. Excellent service. Highly recommendable!
Fantastic experience: Very happy with dentist dr. Omar Ali he's always gentle, thorough, and friendly
Negative experience: I don't recommend the female dentist. Very rough.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly stuff and really professionalization from the Dentist.
Fantastic experience: I cannot fault the level of care the lovely staff provide here; they are professional, friendly, and kind. 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great Service and care.
Negative experience: I asked to be reffered to dental hospital because I need dental surger. The dentist said yes sure but first I will reefer you to the orthodontist and I think this is just because he didn't know how to refer me to dental hospital. So I've waited one month for my orthodontics appointment and I've paid 30£ for consultation to be referred to that hospital... what a waste of time and money.
Fantastic experience: Polite, friendly and cooperative staff. Specially, Dr. OMAR is a very polite person and an expert dentist. Highly recommended. Owais
Fantastic experience: Excellent Service and kind staff
