Client Testimonials

I had not attended a dentist for more than 7 years. My sister recommended me to Leanne. It was the BEST thing i could have done. Excellent service

Thanks to Southside Dental Care for my teeth whitening. I’ve never seen my teeth look so white, and it was such a short, easy process! It’s fantastic!

I have been delighted since joining the practice. The service and atmosphere is far superior to any other dentist i have been to. The staff are all very friendly and any treatment done is well explained in consultation. I have recommended to friends!

Leanne has looked after myself and my two daughters dentistry for 3 years, and now my facial rejuvenation, and is light years ahead of any dentist i have attended in my life! She is so fast, skillful, gentle and kind, and i feel so lucky to have found her.

- Laura – Edinburgh

Have used this dentist for around 8 years now & never had any issues. Lucy has been so patient with my daughter. Wouldn’t trust anyone else. Great service & staff

- Rodger Paulax

I had some work done last month on my 2 front teeth which I broke as a child. Great experience from Natalie and Nicola, they both are fantastic and caring. I would highly recommend this practice!a

- Cindy Hancock Ciocanel

I’ve always had great care at Southside and today was no different. I mentioned that I hate the noise of drills near my teeth so Natalie turned the radio up during the procedure and it helped so much! Little things like that make going to the dentist so much more pleasant, so thank you!
