This has to be the King of all dentists!! Where do I start??? Well, the practice first of all. Top of the range equipment, technology at its best. Any new invention will be here before any other dentists. Then the care, they genuinely have your best interest at heart. Reassuring manner when doing treatment and thankfully they’re human so they have a bit of crack with you! And the staff, first class. It’s not going to the dentist, it’s like going to see your friends! Dr David Lamb has invested heavily in his practice because he believes him and his whole team can do the best for everyone. I had my teeth straightened by him and literally Changed my life for the better. I’m not being paid for this view, it’s from the heart, you cannot go wrong with this practice!
I attended Kingsgate earlier today and my dentist was Joe. I was greeted by a lovely smiling Ellie who assisted Joe throughout my procedure. The surgery is well organised, immaculate and calm and Joe and Ellie continuously liaised together working as a team. I was well informed of what would be happening and Joe continually checked if I was ok throughout. Both Joe and Ellie are totally professional but still put you at ease and I am totally confident in their hands. Joe has advised me regarding future works and given me confidence in myself to proceed with these. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kingsgate Dentist for their professionalism, friendliness, care and efficiency.
Good service from dentist hygienist and Michelle receptionist
Very happy with the result of my Invisalign treatment with Dr Rob Hetherington! Him & the team made the process as smooth as possible. Thank you!
Very professional most importantly very friendly and patient
I am so,so pleased to have followed Stacey from Seaham Dentist to Kingsgate in Durham,yes it's quite a trek but well worth it to stay with my lovely Dentist who I have been with for quite a few years now. She is so compassionate about her career, fully committed has time to explain everything to you and you come out feeling at ease, with peace of mind. Thank you to all the team.
I joined the Practice as a patient after a prolonged period of time on emergency appointments. All staff I've encountered have been nothing short of amazing. They truly deliver, just as they claim, in a friendly, relaxed and caring way. I have always felt well informed, they answered any questions and worked with me to manage my anxiety. Special thanks to Joe and Emily (and the lovely nurses) for bearing with me as well as Michelle, Neve and Sarah at Reception for their warmth and friendliness.
We’ve been coming to Kingsgate Dental as a family for years, and I honestly couldn’t praise them highly enough. From the moment we book our appointments, the team are friendly, organised, and always do their best to accommodate the four of us being seen one after another. When we arrive, we’re greeted by name with genuine warmth, and the reception area is calm, clean, and comfortable. The dental care itself is first‑class. The dentists take the time to explain everything clearly and show exceptional patience with our children, making sure they feel relaxed and confident throughout their visits. A truly outstanding family‑run practice that delivers exceptional care every time. 'Thank You' Kingsgate Dental Team!!!!! :)
What a fantastic experience I had. Rob was brilliant along with his nurse. Michelle was excellent very caring best receptionist ever!! Even offered a drink. Definitely recommend this practice. Anyone nervous about visiting a dentist. Definitely come here.5☆
Excellent dental practice who put you at ease from the minute you walk into the practice. Emily and her nurse Hannah worked as a great team and everything was explained as my treatment was carried out. I am absolutely thrilled with results and would 100% recommend this practice.
