Review titled Ongoing issues not resolved
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Nik - Posted on 19 June 2024
I had no issues with Dental beauty up until recently. I attended an appointment due to sensitivity to hot and cold on my upper left side. I was booked an appointment with a different dentist which didn't bother me at the time. I attended my first appointment and had white plus amalgam filling. I noticed after the numbing had worn off I still had sensitivity plus mild pain where I had been treated. I complained of my issues and I attended at least 3 more appointments to try to resolve the issue. When I attended my appointments I was numbed and additional work completed. I still have heat sensitivity/pain when eating hot food that I cannot tolerate. When I asked for a different dentist due to lack of confidence I was informed I'd have to pay again. I have been hugely inconvenienced by all the above as I have had to attend the dentist while working full-time. Not impressed at all!

Review titled Not an NHS practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by NHS patient - Posted on 12 April 2024
Booked a consultation this week and their agenda was quite free. I mentioned I needed some fillings, but they still charged me band 1 even before the appointment started. After a delay, the dentist analysed everything in less than 10 min and said I needed to come again to do the fillings. A Month From Now! When I questioned for a sooner appointment, the answer was that it was impossible because I am an NHS patient. How does NHS allow this kind of segregation?
