Fantastic experience: BDP is the best dental surgery I have ever attended. Gerry Shields is a brilliant dentist. He's very kind and very funny, making every visit a treat. I was a dental phobic all my life, but he helped me to get over this horrible thing. Now every appointment is a treat.

Fantastic experience: Excellent dental practice
Fantastic experience: Very professional and excellent service throughout
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and efficient practice .
Fantastic experience: 1. It is hard for a patient to forget his/her appointment date, because BDP often sends reminders. 2. The dentist is good at his job. 3. Checking up on patients after every treatment is a good practice. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Great dentists 10/10
Fantastic experience: A visit to the hygienist Kelly Ann was fantastic, I got an air clean, much less uncomfortable than the traditional clean & she was friendly, knowledgeable & supportive of my extra health needs, going out of her way to help me
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, after phoning at 08:00 I was seen same morning, Gerry who was busy all day, seen me and took time to explain everything and made sure I was fully aware of my options, and advised what would be best. Treatment was pain free and every stage was explained which makes a big difference….. from someone who isn’t always happy to visit a dentist I can’t rate Bathgate Dental Practice high enough, from the reception area to the dentist seat I was treated with the upmost care….. they even called the next day to ensure I was pain free. ( which I now am)
Fantastic experience: Gerry has always made me feel at ease. Very professional. Friendly and polite. I appreciate continuity with who I see. As i use a wheelchair, the assistants are so kind & helpful throughout my appointment. I would always recommend BDP.
Fantastic experience: Been with this practice for a very long time, very professional and caring
Fantastic experience: Excellent service
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I have ever attended. Highly recommend them
Fantastic experience: Excellent Dental Practise friendly and caring great with nervous patients
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist, very professional.
Positive experience: I really like BDP and have had two very positive previous appointments. All staff in the first two visits very lovely and welcoming and really appreciated the relaxed and kind atmosphere. However, my third visit wasn't so good. My appointment was at 16:40, and due to horrendous traffic out with my control (bearing in mind I left in plenty of time for my appointment) I arrived FOUR minutes late and deeply apologized for being late (also parking outside the practice is really hard!) The receptionist turned me away saying I couldn't be seen now (4 minutes really??) and that I'd need to rebook but there's nothing til after June (other than one cancellation next week which didn't work). Surely this can't be an efficient practice rule and just adding to a huge backlog? Both of my previous appointments I waited for at least 15 minutes before being seen which really isn't a big deal as these things happen, but if you want courtesy from patients when the practice is running late then the understanding has to go both ways. I'm really disappointed. And literally typing this only ten minutes into what would have been my appointment. I was back in my car at 16:47. Dental appointments are hard to come by and it's really frustrating that this has happened. I don't feel valued, and I made every effort to be there on time, which I sincerely apologise for but cannot predict traffic when sat nav is telling me otherwise.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and warm environment. Put at ease
Fantastic experience: Great dental practice, everbody really nice & technicians make you feel calm & relaxed. Never had a problem there & i would not go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Always a great and friendly service from pre booking through to after care. Quality of care by my dentist -Gerard Shields - is always first class. He explains fully what he is doing and why.
Fantastic experience: Been my dentist for years.
Fantastic experience: Always welcome and received good treatment
Fantastic experience: Very mindful and understanding of my 90yr old mums disabilities, age and other medical issues. Gerry treats her with such care and respect. All the staff are just lovely and very helpful. They create a nice, welcoming environment. Highly recommend this practice, BDP.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist always puts me at ease and work carried out to 1st class standard. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very experienced, friendly, efficient service.
Fantastic experience: Nice environment and friendly
Fantastic experience: In my opinion the best dentists and support team in Scotland. I've been a patient with BDP for well over twenty years. Gerrard Shields is my dentist and I can't praise him highly enough. I've NEVER once had any pain during treatment and if you are at all phobic he and any of the other dentists will most certainly be able to help you. I'm attaching two photos of me and my BDP smile Go to them, I guarantee you won't regret it.
Negative experience: I have used ptactise for years The service levels have really gone down the new young staff are very racist rude towards the customer it has been over 1 year they keep cancelling appointments make you wait 3 months then call you and cancel again if you god forbid you miss an appointment they will charge you when I complained to the staff the practise sent me a letter de registration disgraceful anyone of colour or non white ethnicity please stat away from this racist place
Dear Huddz,
I would like to summarise the recent incident, which has led us to deregister you from the practice due to repeated aggressive behaviour towards staff.
On November 8th, we informed you of a £50 missed appointment charge that needed to be cleared before booking a new appointment. Despite explanations about the practice policy, to which you hung up the phone, and later visited the practice. During the visit, staff complained that you were raising your voice, accused staff of racism, and made threats to post negative reviews online. Efforts to address these concerns calmly were met with continued aggression.
This incident follows a previous record from July 17, 2024, where you had exhibited similar behaviour, including verbal aggression and dissatisfaction with staff and services.
Due to this ongoing pattern of inappropriate and unacceptable conduct, the decision has been made to deregister you from the practice. Should you wish to discuss this any further please call the practice on 01506 656 156 and ask for our Manager Sue.
Best wishes,
Bathgate Dental Practice

Fantastic experience: Great team from reception to dental team
Fantastic experience: Great, ethical, professional and trustworthy practice. Won't even consider going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: I changed dentists from Blue Sky who only wanted to see me “if I had any pain”??? - To Bathgate Dental Practice based on a friends recommendation. I saw a dentist on my first appt, (Gerry) and he had a treatment plan drawn up on that first visit. Yesterday was my first and dreaded visit to the hygienist (based on my previous dentist, I never ever had a pain free hygiene appt - they always rushed and I was in pain for days afterwards). But Kelly-Anne at Bathgate Dental Practice was lovely. She was understanding of the painful experiences from the previous dentist and calmly went about the scale & polish perfectly and pain free . No bleeding for days after, no pain afterwards (like I always had with the previous dentist) and an appt already booked in for my next hygienist appt in 6 months. Highly recommend Bathgate Dental Practice, especially to anyone who was as terrified of the hygienist as I was. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ xxx
Fantastic experience: This is my regular dental practice. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Mr. Kalampokis was able to rescue a broken crown to allow me to attend a wedding. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Lovely, friendly professional staff. The girls at reception gave me a warm welcome when I arrived, which put me at ease immediately. The dental nurses are very friendly and always acknowledge you with a smile and a 'hello'. The dentist herself, Kata, is lovely and caring and I felt at ease immediately, because of Kata's lovely, kind attitude towards me and others. My whole experience at this dental practice was very positive and I would urge anyone, especially people who are nervous, or have a fear of dentists to book an appointment at this practice where they will be put at ease and treated by professional, competent friendly staff ❤️
