Advantages: Good efficient operation

Disadvantages: No advance bookings

I was so amazed when I moved to this area of Northampton from another town as I expected I would have to go private having had to give up my life long NHS dentists where I grew up however I was fortunate enough to ring Duston Dental Practice when they were taking on NHS patients and as such I get my treatment at a cheaper rate than a private dentists.

The practice itself is located in a large converted house on the high street and houses a number of dentists, one of the downsides with being an NHS patient is that I never get to see the same dentist twice, I reckon in fact I get the trainee dentists on my annual check up however as my teeth are generally in good health this is not a big worry as I have not needed any treatment in over eight years of attending this particular dentist.

You do not book your check ups in advance instead you get aletter when you are due with an appointment time, most of the time I end up changing it due to work commitments but it is always pretty easy to get an appointment and they are reasonably flexible.

Reception is efficient but not overly friendly however all the dentists I have seen have been really pleasant and seem pretty competent at what they do. Certainly going to the dentist holds no fears for me and this dentists does a good job.
