Our professionally qualified Dentists believe in the philosophy of prevention and all our surgeries aim to give patients a smile to be proud of.

To achieve this regular check-ups are important so that we are able to monitor and care for your teeth and mouth, detect problems early and minimise the risk of problems arising in the future.

Just Reiterating what others have said about how rude Alison the
receptionist is on the orthodontics side of the practice. Shocking that she continues to be this way without intervention

Greeted with a friendly smile on arrival and taken through some basic protocols to ensure the safety of both the staff and patients.
The dentists and support staff I've seen during my recent visits have been warm and friendly and despite an hour 'in the chair' today I left with a smile on my face.
An excellent service all round and a credit to the practice.

I am really grateful to all the great staff at Caledonia Dental Practice. It has been a challenging time for everyone since March 2020, but as everyone is encouraged to socially distance, the dentists don't have that luxury.
I called the practice towards the end of the lockdown after losing s number of fillings, but was informed that they were prioritising patients in pain - which is most certainly fair enough - dental pain is the worst!
A few months later I developed dental pain. Having called the practice I was called back by a dentist and went through a triage process which led to an appointment

All the Receptionist are very miserable, rude and boring. Don’t have patience with clients. Can’t even be bothered to answer. It’s like a morgue.

I am a former member of staff at this practice. I left to work closer to home in Bristol but I was otherwise perfectly happy here.
It is a well run practice under the manager, Mari, my other colleagues are caring, ethical and good at their jobs, and overseen by a good local group Dr Michael Frain.
Caledonia provides NHS and private dentistry and orthodontics. If you need a hygienist you would need one of the sister practices in Chippenham or Melksham which is the one disadvantage. I'd happily recommend my friends and family to come here for NHS care, which as a dentist myself is something worth
