Maxident Clinic

Felt a bit violated by this clinic. All seemed good, modern and clean but signs plastered all over the wall about «ensuring you get an estimate first» made me a little suspicious. A dentist who looked like he could be my child (I’m 26) had my mouth open for about 1 minute, told me I needed to buy some special mouthwash, did give me two x-​rays that you could see my wisdom tooth on and the tooth each side, then insisted I need a very small filling that «would only take 2 minutes.» As he was moving towards me with an injection I managed to quickly ask if he was doing it right there and then and how much would it be, still proceeding he quickly said «only £46.50». I told him I would like it done a different time and he told me in that case in was finished for today and it would only be £16.50 and asked me quite agitatedly when I would be booking in for the filling. As I went down to the reception I was feeling quite confused that it was unlike any other dental appointment I’d had before where they normally have you in there for more than two minutes, check all your teeth, maybe have a little scrape and usually polish my teeth too. I apologised to the receptionist that I it wasn’t her fault but I was dissatisfied with the treatment and didn’t want to pay and wouldn’t be returning. She didn’t seem surprised by this and said «ok, there will be no charge.» Whether I need a filling or not is still to be seen but I did not like this dentist. Maybe he was rushing as it was a 7pm appointment but he is meant to be a medical professional but felt like a money grabbing con artist. It’s a shame he has ruined my trust in dentists.
