So after many weeks of being let down with the wrong or bad treatment from my local dentist. I spent weeks contacting different dentists. I went to Re-Ignite Dental after seeing so much positive stuff on line. After 5 minutes with Dr Imran on my initial consultation I knew I was in the right place. I had my first visit, which was a root canal and I'd nearly say I enjoyed it lol. He shows so much passion in his work as do the nurses and reception staff that I am lucky to have found them. Yesterday my second visit and I had some composite bonding on my bottom teeth, and it didn't really hit me until I got home how good they actually looked. Now I'm looking forward to my next appointment to have my upper teeth done. Thanks so much.

I’ve had a gum graft procedure done today, and honestly, Imran has been amazing. He was very reassuring throughout all my appointments leading up to the surgery. Imran and his team have been fantastic every step of the way—whenever I felt worried during phone calls, they reassured me and gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure. I didn’t feel any pain at all, and everything was done quickly and professionally. Thank you, Imran and your team.

Couldn't be more impressed. Mia and Kayli were truly extensional help - they went above and beyond in every possible way. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire visit smooth and stress-free. And I have to say, Imran is absolutely the best dentist in the business. His skill, precision, and calm approach instantly put you at ease. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering top-quality work. Thanks to Mia, Kayli, and Imran, this was a 5-star experience from start to finish. 100% recommended!

I went to Reignite Dental with a broken tooth and was so nervous about the whole process. Dr. Imran was incredibly kind and reassuring, taking the time to explain everything clearly and put me at ease. I’m currently in the healing process for my dental implant, and everything has gone so smoothly so far. Even though I was extremely anxious at the start, I now feel very confident that I’m in the right hands. The whole team has been professional, caring, and supportive throughout. I couldn’t recommend Reignite Dental enough! Thank you!
