What Our Clients Say
“Yes, the surroundings are quaint & rather old-fashioned (quite comforting, actually!) but the dental care is FANTASTIC! From the super-friendly receptionists to the wonderful Lisa Hanna – my husband and I are delighted to have joined this practice. Thank you, Lisa!“
“Like most people, I don’t usually enjoy going to the dentist and I tend to postpone it until it becomes too late! Inevitably I got a severe toothache, and this practice kindly managed to fit me in the next day to alleviate the pain. They then carefully explained exactly what work I needed and also taught me how to properly maintain my teeth. Tony McWhirter, the receptionists and dental staff are all highly skilled, professional and friendly and as a result, I have overcome my lifelong fear of the dentist. Very highly recommended.“
“I have been a patient for over 35 years and cannot speak highly enough of this dental practice. The dentists and their assistants, hygienists and receptionists are all highly qualified, thoroughly professional yet friendly and welcoming, which never fails to puts me at ease. You can rest assured that your dental hygiene and care are in safe hands with Riada Dental Care.”
