strongly advise people to avoid…
I would strongly advise people to avoid this dental practice And save your money. From my very first visit, I was misled. I booked an appointment specifically to have my teeth cleaned and the glue from my retainer removed, and I was told at the time of booking that this was included in what I was paying for £140. When I arrived, I was told the dentist I had been assigned couldn't perform the glue removal and that I would need to see a different dentist entirely. Being lied to in order to take my money was extremely frustrating, though I tried to give the benefit of the doubt and assumed it may have been a misunderstanding.
However, what made the experience truly unacceptable was the receptionist. As I was leaving, she treated me as though I was attempting to leave without paying, despite the fact that she was the same person who had checked me in and processed my payment. On a separate visit regarding another appointment, the same receptionist was again incredibly rude to me. I had to take a moment just to process how I had been spoken to.
I also could not help but notice that her attitude seemed directed specifically at me. Based on my experience, I have reason to believe this may be rooted in bias towards people of colour, as she did not appear to treat others the same way.
If you do not have the temperament to treat people with basic respect and decency, customer-facing work is simply not the right fit. I will not be returning, and I would encourage others to take their business elsewhere.

Professional and Trustworthy
I’ve been going to this practice for about 25 years. My dentist is second to non, very professional. Doesn’t believe in unnecessary work and concentrates on total mouth health. Totally trust worthy.

Exceptional Care from a Fantastic Team!
I had a dental appointment today with Dr. Samira, and I cannot recommend her highly enough—she is an absolute asset to the team! From start to finish, she did a remarkably thorough job, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and an incredible attention to detail during my thorough assessment and deep clean. I had multiple queries, and she patiently and clearly answered every single one, completely putting me at ease.
A special shoutout to Ahmed, who was assisting her today. He ensured the environment was impeccably clean, provided excellent support, and maintained the same high standard of professionalism throughout the visit.
Not to forget the reception staff were also wonderful—welcoming and efficient. They made the check-in process seamless and set a positive tone for the entire visit.
If you are looking for top-tier dental care, I definitely recommend Dr. Samira and the Trafford Dental Team!
