I used the practice for the first time this year to get veneers fitted by Mairi. I had an amazing experience although I was a bit nervous. Her team made me very relaxed and the results were absolutely amazing. After they were completed Mairi and the girls were inviting the rest of the practice in to see them. She was so pleased and so she should be as everyone has commented on how natural they look. I will be using this practice from now on. Well done to everyone who made this a great experience. Thanks.

I had a genuine fear of visiting the dentist. I experienced some nerve damage when having a filling aged 15. Therefore, my only adult visit (over 20 years ago) for the removal of teeth to make space for my wisdom teeth, was under sedation.
In mid December 2019, I was in excruciating pain. Getting worse by the day. I knew I had to pay the dentist a visit. I checked 6 or 7 places in East Kilbride and Glasgow. I sent emails explaining my nervousness. Donny came back first, within an hour and booked me a consultation with Mairi for just a couple of days later.

Today my daughter visited our new dentist David Padden. We wanted to let you know that we think you are incredible. If there are any parents out there with children who are scared of the dentist then look no further because David made my daughter feel like the bravest little girl. He used fun child friendly (funny) language to explain the procedure. Thank you David 🦸♂️

I couldn't wish for a better dentist!! I switched to Avondale Dental Practice after feeling terribly frustrated with my previous dentist. From the welcoming reception staff to the hygienist, all the staff are professional and caring. I recently needed some cosmetic work following an accident and Mairi and staff showed such genuine interest and care towards my treatment. Overall the service I received was superb and the quality of work exceptional. I can't speak highly enough of the practice - Mairi MacLean gave me back my smile!

I'd highly recommend Mairi and the rest of the team. I got lip fillers for the first time at Avondale Dental Practice. Mairi talked me through everything, it was more or less painless and she put the right amount of filler in the right places. I've had compliments on what perfect lips I have - they look so naturally plump. I've been back for top ups and the result is always perfection. Thank you!

Excellent treatment and friendly, efficient service! Recently I received implant treatment from Liam McLaughlin at the practice. From start to finish, my treatment was extremely professional and Liam really made me feel at ease and part of the decision-making process. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result and how the new tooth settled immediately within my mouth. Liam has also fitted me for a teeth whitening kit and I am really happy with the results.
Overall I would recommend anyone to under-take treatment with Avondale Dental Practice. My family and I have also received excellent treatment

I joined the practice in April 2017 as I was interested in their cosmetic dentistry they had available and the practice was recommended to me by a friend. I was fitted with "Quick Straight Teeth" clear ceramic braces and it is the best decision I have made. Liam McLaughlin is the dentist who fitted the brace and him and the other staff have been fantastic. I cannot recommend this practice enough, Liam took me through every option available for me and gave me honest and good advice as to what would be best. The staff recognise their patients by greeting you with your name and clearly take the time

I first visited this practice due to the fact that they were an Invisalign approved practice. I had my initial consultation with Liam McLaughlin who guided me through my different options to achieve the perfect smile i've always wanted. After opting for the full Invisalign package, my impressions and x ray were all taken very quickly (the practice were very accommodating with my appointments during my lunch hour) and i was able to begin my treatment within a matter of weeks. I am now almost finished my Invisalign treatment and about to start the whitening process and so far i can only sing the

I had been all over Glasgow for cosmetic consultations before I came here. My decision was made instantly. So much that I registered as a patient and left my old dentist. I can't remember ever not having issues with my teeth and everything was sorted before I could start my cosmetic work. From my root treatment to my veneers, the service has been first class and excellent value for money. Would recommend to anyone.

I have recently completed a fairly complex course of root canal and subsequent cosmetic treatment with Mairi Maclean and I must say that I found the service to be warm, friendly and efficient, in particular their ability to stick fairly closely to the schedule of appointments, something my previous practice frustrated me by NOT doing! I am delighted with the result of my treatment and I now have a new found confidence in my smile!

I recently joined Avondale Dental Practice and I have to say I am so impressed with the practice and staff. The staff were great and really made me feel comfortable as i had a fear of the dentist. I got my teeth whitened and a veneer placed and have had a great confidence boost,so thank you Avondale!
