Thelma has been helping me get a great smile and is fantastic. She is supportive & comforting as I am a nervous patient. I would highly recommend this practice as the setting is beautiful and all the staff go out of their way to help you.
Absolutely amazing from the service on the front line to the professionalism, friendliness and expertise of both Thelma and Brendan- thank you soooo much for my new smile love it xx.
The staff on Reception were unfailingly courteous and helpful and the care I received from my dentist, Thelma Cavallini and her dental nurse Georgia was outstanding. They both immediately put me at ease, everything was explained in detail and nothing was too much trouble.
I was referred to Thelma at The Old Church Bupa Dentist in Lightcliffe, due to a complicated procedure. Thelma spent time explaining the procedure to me and regularly checked if I was comfortable during my appointments. Thank you to Thelma and her team for a great service and I would highly recommend this dentist.
Visited the old church dental practice today for an exam with a lady called Thelma. I have never been before. From arriving the atmosphere was calm and welcoming and the building is stunning. The receptionists were so lovely and friendly very helpful. They were so busy but still had time to give you the attention you needed. My appointment with the dentist was amazing.
I've just had my front teeth veneered by Thelma and I love them. I can smile with confidence for the first time in years. Thelma is the best dentist I have ever had, she puts you at ease and she makes sure that her work is to the highest standards. She didn't like how one of my veneers looked so after 2 weeks she made another appointment and redid the veneer so it was perfect. The old church dental is beautiful on the inside and the reception staff are super helpful and friendly.
I am absolutely thrilled with the results of Thelma’s work, she is so talented, my veneers look amazing and I haven’t stopped smiling since they were fitted.
After finding out that I needed root canal treatment I was referred to Thelma.
I was dreading going through this treatment, but I needn't have been nervous at all. Thelma was amazing she and her dental nurse were really friendly and I felt relaxed as soon as I walked into her surgery.
I would highly recommend this dental practice. A big thumbs up from me.
I would highly recommend old church dental to anyone seeking treatment. Thelma has helped me with various dental issues and I am very pleased with the outcome. I have found everyone from the reception staff, to the dental assistants, hygienists and dentists themselves to be very helpful and professional. I was very nervous about some of the treatments I needed and the team were brilliant at putting me at ease, especially Thelma. 5 star service in my opinion.
I recently had top and bottom veneers fitted at this dental practice and I can’t recommend them highly enough. A lovely surgery with a feeling of calm and tranquillity, just what I needed as I was extremely nervous about the whole procedure. I had got to the point where my teeth were causing me confidence issues and I needed the treatment.
Many thanks to Thelma on behalf of my elderly mother-in-law for fitting a new front filling after the last one broke away from the tooth. Despite being pressed for time, as the appointment was squeezed in as an urgent case, Thelma did a great job. She also ensured that there was nothing to pay as the previous filling was done only 9 months ago (by a different dentist).
What a fabulous dentist! She made me feel so comfortable as I’m a nervous patient and felt like she went into a lot of detail about my teeth and seem very Genuine and passionate about her job. I would recommend this practice to anyone. Top class service in a beautiful setting.
