Monklands Dental Care

Had an appointment with Lauren the Dental Hygienist today. This went very well indeed. Lauren was very professional and gave me good advice and education regarding keeping my teeth healthy. Lauren’s assistant was also very courteous and professional. Both made me feel at ease as I can be quite anxious on visits to the Dentist. Thank you!

I'm really disappointed in this practice and not sure if they are incompetent or deliberately scammed my mum into treatment. I went with my mum who is elderly, vulnerable, and terrified of the dentist. The dentist reviewed her documents, assured us all work would be free under the NHS, and booked her in for five separate appointments. Six months later she received a letter from the NHS saying she is not eligible and has to repay £400 within a month. She called the practice manager who confirmed that the dentist had put her down as eligible for free treatment, but said she would do nothing to help us despite it being their fault. I'm really disgusted they would treat an elderly lady this way. She is so upset and has no idea how she can afford this on a state pension. She never would have had the treatment if she had to pay, but at least this way the dentist got his money, hey.

I’ve just had one of the worst experiences of my life at this dental practice. I attended a follow‑up appointment because I was still in pain after a filling. I calmly explained to the dentist that I was frustrated about agreeing to his recommendation to redo the filling after the pain had already settled. He immediately took this as a personal attack, raising his voice, waving his hands, and becoming so loud that the receptionist heard everything. He told me, "you should be annoyed at yourself," and even dragged his young assistant into the room to back up his misinterpretation of the situation. When I asked for the complaints and regulatory procedures, he labelled me a "troublemaker" and informed me that I was being deregistered from the practice. I’m absolutely appalled by the unprofessionalism, hostility, and complete lack of accountability.

Thank you so much to Lauren Summerville the dental hygienist for helping me conquer my fear , and also for her caring , empathetic attitude when dealing with nervous patients like myself. Can't thank her enough for helping me 🙏 xxx

The receptionist was lovely as was the dentist. I had all my bottom teeth taken out. A new denture for the top of my mouth which I still can't wear. I was terrified going in the first place. I was in pain for weeks after. I would have liked to have gone back to get it sorted but was too scared.

A great service. Easy to get an appointment and not a long wait unlike a lot of other places at the moment. Everyone is very friendly and approachable

First visit to Monklands Dental Practice and I would highly recommend. If like me you are an anxious person when visiting the dentist then look no further as staff are very professional, friendly and make you feel comfortable and at ease straight away. The Dental Practitioner Vikas Sharda explains everything beforehand which helps ease the nerves. I have made my next check up appointment already which I would never do as usually only contact dentist when required.
