I had suffered from toothache for a few weeks and previous dentist could not find anything wrong after several appointments. I am a terrified of dental procedures due to past traumatic experiences hence why I phoned Links Dental Practice as they specialise in pain-free dentistry and helping scared anxious/scared patients. I secured a ‘tooth crisis audit’ appointment within 24hrs. The receptionist who answered the phone could not have been more supportive and empathetic. Within a few minutes of my assessment the problem was found and then repaired. Dr Jennie Farss was an exemplar of compassion, understanding, gentleness and clinical expertise. And yes the procedure was pain free and I no longer have toothache. What a relief… and I have now joined the practice as a new patient. Thank you.

I had a great experience with Dr Niall Bradley. He was very kind and accommodating and the whole experience was pain-free ! Will definitely be coming back.

Highly recommend!I called the practice because I had a really bad toothache, and they kindly gave me an appointment on the same day, which I really appreciated.I thought they would just check the tooth, tell me what the problem was, and give me some pain relief. But Dr Sam and April made sure I did not leave in pain. They spent much more time with me than planned and completed the full treatment on the same day. I have honestly never experienced this before, and it meant so much to me.Dr Sam is a very kind, attentive, and caring doctor. He kept checking how I was feeling during the treatment and clearly explained what was happening at every stage, which made me feel calm and comfortable.I am so happy that I was treated by Dr Sam and April. Thank you both so much for your care and kindness!

I cannot recommend this practice enough! From the friendly reception team to the excellent dentists, everyone at Links makes the comfort of your visit a priority. I was a patient of Jasmine’s at her previous practice and when she moved I did to - which is a huge testament to the way she makes every visit as calm and as pain free as possible. As a nervous patient Jasmine’s friendly and calm nature makes each visit a positive. During childhood I had many fillings and some negative experiences at the dentist but with each visit to Links I feel less and less anxious. I fully trust Jasmine and her team to not only provide me with the best dental care but to be honest and really listen to me! From fillings, to sensitive teeth, to whitening, to mouth guards - Jasmine and her team have looked after me with kindness, patience, transparency and professionalism! Thank you!

Amazing, my daughter needed to have teeth taken out, to let adult teeth come through. Kazi Moon did an amazing job, she made my daughter completely relaxed, put the anestethics in without noticing and everything was sorted in no time at all. Thank you so much!

I have had some minor treatment recently with Dr Sam Lockhart, and I can't praise him enough for being such a wonderful, skilled dentist. He always takes time to explain what he is doing and my treatment was genuinely pain free. It's great to have a dentist you feel safe with.Sammy his dental assistant was also very good. Thanks to you both!Juliet

Have been a client of Links Dental for many years now - first with Dr IanStewart, then Dr Shiona Rees and Moon as hygienist. Have always been completely satisfied with the level of care and support, and excellent explanation of all procedures carried out and the newer options available to improve my smile. Have great confidence that the health of my teeth and gums is being well looked after as I grow older, with the state of the art equipment and high level of care.I was pleased to meet new dentist Niall Bradley on recent visit, working with assistant Rita. I am very confident in the level of care going forward.

I had a great experience undergoing Invisalign treatment with Dr Jasmine Tolat and dental nurse Bethany - every step was clearly explained, all my questions answered, Jasmine was contactable for any issues I had along the way - and I am very happy with the results! Thanks so much.

I required extensive dental work and registered with Links dental practice. I’m three quarters of the way through the process and the treatment to date has been first class. Everyone from my dental surgeons Jasmine and Bethany, to the reception staff have treated me with professionalism and kindness. I was extremely nervous prior to my treatment beginning but my concerns were alleviated at my initial appointment.I’d have no hesitation in recommending Links dental practice to anyone looking to have dental treatment.
Chris R.
The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Shona, the dentist, put me at ease and explained everything she was doing clearly. The examination and treatment were pain free. I was very happy with the treatment. Shona explained the next steps for me both in respect of treatment and signing up to a plan which I did..
Richard S.
I could not be any happier with my new smile as I am now - all thanks to the amazing Sam and April! They both made me feel at ease throughout my appointments and it’s clear they are very passionate about what they do. It was also great having the choice to choose from the comfort menu whilst having treatment, this definitely helped a lot. Thanks again all!

Hello,My experience with Links Dental Practice was very positive.I was reluctant to go to the dentist after years of putting it off, but finally felt it simply had to be done.The receptionists were extremely kind friendly and welcoming 💜My dentist was called Apil, he was very skilled and competent, he took the time to explain to me on every appointment, what treatment needed to be done, and why, which was reassuring to hear.He also showed me the dental work/photos and x-raysthat had been successfully completed during my treatment.I also had an appointment with a very caring and supportive hygienist called Moon. She was lovely.Everybody that I spoke to was professional and caring.5 stars from me! ⭐️

I recently completed a course of teeth whitening treatment followed by a composite veneer at Links Dental practice. My dentist is Apil and the dental nurse Addy. I’m absolutely delighted with the teeth whitening results and can’t thank Apil enough for the wonderful job he did in matching the veneer to my new teeth colour, ably supported by Addy. I’ve been a patient at Links Dental practice for around 30 years and it’s a wonderful practice - all the staff are great and always very friendly and approachable!

Once again, I received caring and compassionate treatment from the lovely Jasmine. I actually fell asleep several times during the 2 hour root canal therapy session I received; evidence of her gentle ways and dental prowess. Thanks so much Jasmine Tolat!
Julie B.
Everyone is efficient and pleasant (dental staff and reception staff), good advice given and cost always carefully considered. As close to a pleasure as it can get!

I’ve been seeing Dr Jasmine Tolat for a few years now, and I can confidently say she is one of the kindest and most professional healthcare providers I’ve encountered. From the moment you walk into the office, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. The staff is friendly and efficient, and Dr. Jasmine takes the time to explain everything clearly, making sure you’re comfortable and informed throughout your visit.Her gentle approach, combined with genuine care and attention to detail, makes even the most anxious patients feel at ease. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, I’ve always felt I was in excellent hands.Highly recommend Dr. Jasmine for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dentist
Ellie D.
Excellent service, needed an emergency appointment due to infection. Got excellent attention and had tooth swiftly removed. Good advice and attention to detail.
Lorna T.
As always, impeccable service, not just in terms of the actual treatment but with a friendly and efficient reception staff. I've lived long enough to have had some pretty dire early encounters with Scottish dentistry, so this quality of experience, delivered with patience and with highly professional standards is much appreciated. (This was a previous post... After a recent visit I see no reason to revise it. If anything I'll add an extra star for Dr Shiona Rees)
Colin S.
I was initially sceptical about signing up for regular visitsto the dental hygeinist but am now an enthusiastic convert. Moon goes the extra mile, explaining clearly whats going on, taking the necessary action and then focussing on making my teeth look less grotty. Worth every penny.
Mary P.
My experience of Links Dental Practice is very positive. All staff are calm, efficient, and friendly; and all procedures are well-explained and as pain-free and discomfort-free as it is reasonable to expect!
John K.
A very pleasurable visit. (esp. to a dentist). Treatment was courteous and highly professional. Reception was friendly and appointment timing was spot on.
ian D.
Thank you for halting the chronic pains I was suffering around my wisdom tooth. This has brought a big improvement in quality of my life 😊😊😊
Kevin T.
Recently had a molar extracted. The process was completely pain free and I felt comfortable and safe throughout. I was given clear aftercare instructions and all seems to be well so far. It was good to have my music choices in the background - although I'll never listen to Common People in the same way again!
Karen E.
I underwent treatment, spread over multiple visits over the last year. Jasmine Tolat is my dentist. She is professional and explains everything clearly in regard to the work being done and advises how to then look after the teeth. My treatment was planned and carried out by Jasmine and the team and I felt confident I would be in good hands. Always friendly and courteous and with pain free treatment throughout, I am happy with the results. Thanks.

Been using these guys for best part of 40 years. Brilliant place, same dentist for the whole time. Recently changed from NHS to private but still great with Edward Ross. Moved on to April Timilsina and looking good.

I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment with Sam Lockhart at Links Dental Practice and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Over the past year and a half, Sam has been nothing short of fantastic—professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive throughout the whole process.From the beginning, he helped me put together a financial plan that worked for me, and was always open, honest, and clear about what to expect at every stage. I saw him regularly (every few weeks to a month), and he was consistently great to communicate with—always making sure I felt comfortable and informed.I also had whitening done as part of the treatment and I’m so pleased with the results. The whole team at Links Dental Practice were brilliant—friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. I can’t recommend Sam and the team enough if you're considering Invisalign or any other dental treatment. A genuinely five-star experience!

I've been coming to Links Dental Practice for over three years now, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services.I'm often in to see the dentist Sam (who is excellent!), but I'd also like to give a shout-out to Moon, one of their dental hygienists (and her assistant Ellie). I've seen Moon for several appointments, and she is exceptional. As someone with sensitive teeth and gums, Moon is always incredibly attentive and I feel genuinely comfortable throughout our appointments.Overall, Links DP is a reliable and caring practise in the area, and if you need a hygienist, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Moon – you won't be disappointed! ☺️
Anna H.
Sam and April were great, I had a quick and pain free appointment and I was always kept informed about what was happening during the procedure. I highly recommend.
Aaron C.

Assured me that it would be a painless journey, so thank you very much for all the care and attention first class and professional
Sean M.
I had an excellent treatment from Moon & Addy today, I felt very relaxed throughout the whole appointment from start to finish. Moon was very attentive and made sure I was comfortable. I’m very pleased with the results and will definitely return to the surgery for future treatments.
Alisha M.
Moon and Ellie are very friendly, confident and welcoming, they treated me very well and so my appointment went well and learned what I should do to look after my teeth well. Recommended!
Edward C.
Moon was very kind and professional when I was having my teeth cleaned. The team are all lovely and it was a very quick and good service, will be back soon!

I’ve had an excellent experience with Dr Jasmine and Links Dental Practice.Having recently moved to Edinburgh I hadn’t yet organised a dentist when I suffered a broken tooth. A friend recommended Links dental practice and they were able to see me very quickly.Dr Jasmine and Bethany were able to patch things up immediately, allowing me to enjoy Christmas. Dr Jasmine explained the treatment options and talked me through a treatment plan. This was reassuring for me as someone who suffers from dental anxiety. I found the team very patient, empathetic and caring. They had very high standards in delivering the treatment, taking time to achieve a perfect bite and regularly checking I was satisfied with the results. The tooth is now fully repaired (I didn’t think this would be possible) and has allowed me to enjoy meals again.The reception staff are always very organised and welcoming and the late opening times are very convenient.

As always, I was received with kindness and efficiency. A temporary fix for my problem has been implemented and a longer-term solution is in the pipeline.

Had a tooth infection emergency while on holidays. The receptionist got me an urgent appointment on New Years Eve. Dr. Sam quickly diagnosed the issue and extracted the tooth. I am grateful to him and Bethany for the expert service. I appreciate Dr. Sam walking through the options and the aftercare for next few days.Really great service from start to finishRegardsOliver McGeeTipperaryIreland
