Star Dental Care

I wanted to write this review in case it helps others who, like me, are nervous about visiting the dentist. I had bad experiences as a child, something which affected my trust in dental practices for many years. A couple of weeks ago I visited STAR DENTAL CARE in Thirsk and was told I needed a small cavity filling (I have been coming here for a few years now). To be honest I've been quite lucky with regard to work needing to be done so I thought 'well, that's not so bad'. Today I went for the treatment. I have to say that the whole process was handled so well, from arriving to leaving all the staff were great. But I want to talk about my dentist, Sally and the job she did with the help of her assistant Davina. Sally was so gentle and very assuring, explaining the process as we went along. The numbing on the gum was amazing, I wondered if she had started but then she had suddenly finished? The work on the tooth was also very gentle and I felt comfortable throughout, which is something to say the least! I cannot praise Sally and Davina enough, and now i have a perfectly healthy tooth with a nice white filing. As for the prices, I know some think they are high, I can only compare to other services. Call a plumber out for a small repair and you will find not much change from £100, so when you consider the extensive training, and skill the dentist shows then fillings are not so unreasonable! I feel lucky to have found STAR DENTAL CARE, I guess there are lots of great dentists out there but I will continue to drive the 22 miles from my home in York to the practice in Thirsk. I would recommend STAR to anyone.

Over all the treatment received at Star dental is good. But I do object to being grilled about our diet, when we visit....and asked to change it. A doctor would take a less judgemental attitude, and I think Star Dental should.

I have nothing but praise for everyone at Star Dental, as a certified wimp when it comes to dental treatment I can honestly say that everyone at the practice puts you at your ease. The ladies on reception are all lovely and very efficient, - on the odd occasion I've had an emergency they did their utmost to get me a quick appointment. Over the years , apart from routine check-ups and fillings I have had root canal work, an extraction and teeth whitening and all have been expertly dealt with. Louise is a brilliant dentist I would recommend to anyone , explaining the treatment and even making a nervous patient like me calm. Zoe has dealt with other members of my family with quite complicated orthodontic problems.- wonky teeth you would never think could be fixed are now perfectly straight and beautifully white whilst still looking natural-The teeth whitening treatment is fantastic and has made such a difference. The building itself is very nice too. Our family could not be happier with the excellent service Star Dental provide.

Kids like to see Louise the only dentist who son has let look at his teeth. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain things to us.
