Services and Treatments
8to8Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My dentist is the best I've ever had since leaving the military. She's taken the fear out of any treatment I've had or am due. The reception staff are always professional, welcoming and friendly. I never expected such good service from an NHS dental practice. Well done 8to8 Forres.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at the practice for just over a year. I find the dental team professional, respectful and knowledgeable. Always greeted with a warm welcome. Highly recommend joining this practice if you require a dental service.
Fantastic experience: Always been happy , girls on reception are very helpful and dental treatment excellent
Fantastic experience: Great dentists removing all my top teeth getting my new top row teeth organised for March this year before I went on holiday to egypt which worked out amazing. Transformed my life confidence, smiling, eating everything now this is pics from recent holiday to new york mid to late September 2025 plus tours i did from there to Washington dc and marthas vineyard the jaws movie tour etc and a couple of paris ones thrown in here from July too looking happy right well thanks especially to the lovely iona!
Fantastic experience: Lovely Staff, professional friendly dentist and dental nurse. Friendly welcome by reception staff, clean bright environment.
Positive experience: Unfortunately I was taken quite late. The NHS now only allows for one annual check which is really disappointing. The check itself is a lot less thorough than it used to be. Although the dentist himself is fine the service now offered is disappointing
Fantastic experience: My second appointment. First rate experience. Good advice. Looking forward to having my oral and dental care looked after by 8to8 in the future.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service. Had a problem with inside of mouth...Mr Glass knew immediately the problem despite ENT consultants and Gps not knowing. Problem fixed in 24 hours. I'm hugely grateful!
Fantastic experience: Great service provided
Fantastic experience: Very relaxed and always explains what they are doing.
Fantastic experience: Exceptionally customer focused practice. My experience has been extremely positive from the friendly, efficient reception staff to the dental practitioners. I’m a nervous patient and their manner and care has mitigated my (irrational) anxiety on every occasion. The hygienist team are equally outstanding.
Fantastic experience: Been going here for as long as I can remember always been satisfied with my treatment,
Fantastic experience: I can't fault 8to8. I have been in both practices in Buckie and Forres and both of them are welcoming, professional but at the same time have a personal touch. As far as the dental work I have had done - it cannot be faulted.
Fantastic experience: I required a great deal of dental work, extractions, fillings & a dental bridge still to come. Aidan did all the work, with me experiencing no pain and him having the upmost patience as I am a very anxious patient. I cannot praise him enough.
Fantastic experience: Great dental practice,easy to get bookings.The most gentle cleaning and tooth removal ever
Fantastic experience: Warm, gentle personnel. Efficient and extremely professional practitioners. I will recommend to anyone who asks me. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Excellent been a client for many years can't fault in any way service by all departments Excellent
Fantastic experience: As a very nervous patient I have always found the clerical staff, dental nurses a great help in helping me. The staff are very kind, helpful, friendly. My Dentist Mr Glass is very patient and understanding he always manages to put me at ease I would not go to anyone else in the practice other than him. The premises is always clean, and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: I dislike going to the dentist but the staff here are friendly, efficient and always try to put me at ease. Great dental work too. I wouldn’t say it’s a pleasure but it’s as good as it gets!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff ,always helpful.
Fantastic experience: 8to8 Dental has been a very good choice and place to go, they have patience and experience in dealings with their clients would recommend them to anyone
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff at reception. Excellent dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great service from a great dentist. I see Ken Glass at the practice and I am always nervous, who likes the dentist right! However he always makes me feel so safe and cared for. He explains what he is doing and I never feel any pain, even if he has had to do some considerable work, like a root canal. Hey it can't be bad, because I am going back when I don't have to, to have my teeth whitened. That's the other thing, they make you want to look after you teeth and want to smile...well Mr Glass does certainly. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent practice, professional, very friendly, put you right at ease
Fantastic experience: I was referred to 8to8 for an emergency appt through the dental advice line. My wisdom tooth had become infected an was removed then and there. The idea made me very nervous but Mr Glass was calm and very assured. The process was completely painless and I was amazed! I am now a patient of this practice
Positive experience: The treatment was quick and painless. What more to ask for. No drama, just good old-fashioned service from the dentist, and must not forget the assistant who was busy sucking the water from my mouth/throat. A big thank you to both of you.
Fantastic experience: First class's service. From start too finish.
Negative experience: Aggressive, rude staff from Andrea on reception to the dentists Lillian and Ken. Extremely incompetent with any aesthetic procedures with misleading information provided to get your money and then terrible work put in including chipping my tooth. I question the qualifications of the dentists I saw so I will be checking with their boards and will be contacting the ombudsman. I would advise people to avoid this practice.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and concerns.
Please be assured that we hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism and patient care. We sincerely apologise for your perceived perception of aggression and that your experience did not meet the level of care we aim to provide.

Fantastic experience: The dentist was very nice and explained everything clearly. She was happy to answer any questions I had. The receptionist was very pleasant and smiley and very helpful x

Fantastic experience: I have been scared of dentists since I was little because of a bad experience I had with the school dentist. When I went into the dentist room for my appointment my heart was going fast & I was getting really hot, I explained to the dentist woman about my problem with dentist & she took her time with me & reassured me that I was going to be ok & if I need to stop at anytime just to put my hand up. The dentist woman put me so at ease & still scared of dentists. Thank you for the way you were with me at my dentist appointment.
Fantastic experience: Great practice, the whole staff team are amazing and provide top quality care!
