I recently had composite bonding, whitening and a scale and polish at Re-Ignite. I couldn’t speak more highly of my experience, my teeth look extremely natural yet perfect. Between Imran, Mia, Leah and Freya, my experience was 10/10 and I’d highly recommend.

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!

Absolutely 100% recommend this dental practice, the whole team are lovely. I had root canal treatment at a reasonable cost. Dr Imran is very impressive as I felt no pain and was made to feel comfortable throughout the whole procedure. The before, during and after care from the friendly dental nurses and reception team is brilliant and authentic, they really do care about your experience as a patient. Thank you so much.

I'm a very nervous patient and found the treatment I received from Re-Ignate to be excellent. I was put at ease too by the sympathetic, professional Receptionist and Nicky, who made follow up calls. The after care was brilliant. Would highly recommend this practice.

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!
