Clifton Gardens Dental Surgery

Bit of an updated post; I visited this dentist around a year ago on an Emergency 111 appointment however was told to leave after quizzing why an extraction that would usually cost £27.40 was going to cost me £70+. I have since done some digging and learned something rather interesting: If 111 sends you somewhere, the £27.40 (Band 4 - Emergency Treatement) is a flat rate. It covers the assessment, the X-ray, and the extraction (or a temporary filling) to stop the pain. the dentist was likely trying to "double-bill" me by separating a single emergency visit into two different charging categories which is not only absolutely shocking behaviour from the get go, but also highly illegal. I would suggest to anyone visiting this dentist to know the rules; if you are being sent via NHS 111 Dentist NEVER pay more than £27.40 for a tooth extraction and make sure to look at exactly what it covers you for before agreeing to any other charges. I hope this helps!

I went via 111 and worst mistake they had me in for 2 mins put a filling on top of a cavity and next week I’m having to get the tooth extracted because of this dentist I called back after and he told me that I just had sensitive teeth I couldn’t eat on that side of my mouth for 3 years and now need it extracting cause of the decay inside my tooth horrible horrible man he didn’t care about patients at all! Needs to lose his job !

Avoid avoid avoid. If you read some of the recent negative reviews... My experience was very similar! Emergency appointment.. On waiting for my appointment, in the waiting room I noticed 2 patients in and out in a matter of 1-2 minutes.. surely a checkup etc takes longer!!! I know it does with my usual dentist at a practice in Selby! When I saw the dentist he was rude and seemed like he couldn't care less. Palmed me off with antibiotics and told me he would refer me to an orthodontist in Selby... This was mid sept... Still nothing. Has he even referred me??. Anyway, back to the dentist. He first told me the tooth needed removing..told me he could do this today.. then after an xray he then told me he couldn't do this.... So can he or can't he... I left confused after £40+ bill expecting to be referred ... Still waiting. Wouldn't go back even in an emergency.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share my experience because I nearly didn’t go after reading some of the negative reviews. I was referred here by NHS 111 with one broken tooth and another causing pain. The dentist was kind, explained everything clearly, took an X-ray, and gave me two temporary fillings. Because it was an emergency slot, there wasn’t time for the full treatment, but he relieved my pain and advised me what I would need and to book a permanent fix with my regular dentist as soon as possible. For me, that’s exactly what you’d hope for from an emergency dental appointment. I had a really positive experience here and am very grateful for the care I received. It’s so hard to get seen by a dentist at the moment, and this practice is doing a great job fitting people in when they need urgent care.

I was referred here through 111 with a very painful broken tooth, was given antibiotics after an X-ray showed an abscess and told to come back a week later for a tooth extraction once the infection had cleared up. Received great care on both visits, antibiotics got rid of the pain within 24hrs and I was surprised how easy the tooth extraction was. Big thanks to this place for sorting me out 🙏

I was really not looking forward to going here after being sent by 111 due to the reviews. However my first appointment yes I did get antibiotics for an abscess but was booked in for the following week to have the tooth removed. I went today and had this procedure done, yes it is all a bit rushed but I was cared for and that was the main so I was happy with the service I received.

Would give less if I could. How they’re still running I do not know. Very rude, un compassionate and un helpful. Avoid
