I’ve only written one other review before, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Dr Richard Longbottom at Noble Dental following my appointment today. After a past traumatic dental experience, I came in feeling extremely anxious and struggling to trust dentists again. Because of this, I decided to see a periodontist and implant specialist so I could get the best and most accurate advice, even though it meant spending more money. I had read positive reviews about Dr Longbottom and felt he would be the right person to assess my situation. During the appointment, I became quite emotional, but Dr Longbottom and his dental assistant, Gemma, were incredibly kind, patient, and empathetic. Gemma also shared a personal dental experience which helped me feel less alone, and I really appreciated her warmth and understanding. I genuinely felt listened to and supported, which meant a lot given my past experiences. What really stood out to me was Dr Longbottom’s honesty and integrity. After reviewing my case, he actually recommended that I don’t get an implant and instead suggested a crown. He could easily have recommended the more expensive option, but he didn’t. That level of honesty really helped rebuild my trust. He also referred me to a general dentist he personally trusts and even reduced the cost of my appointment, including not charging for part of the X-ray. When I was settling up at the end, Carly at reception was also very kind and reassuring, which added to the overall positive experience. I’ve lived in Auckland for 6½ years and honestly haven’t ever felt like I was in good hands with a dentist here until now. I walked away feeling heard, supported, and confident that I’m finally on the right path. I’m very grateful for the kindness, honesty, and professionalism I experienced. Highly recommend Dr Richard Longbottom at Noble Dental, especially if you’re feeling anxious or unsure about dental treatment.

I first met the A Team at Noble in November 2019 when my dentist suggested that I should go and see a gum specialist. So, I went and met the lovely Jack and he started to treat my gums. I have not looked back since. In fact it was one of the best things I ever did, as he discussed the problem with me and I started treatment right away. I returned for a follow up last Thursday, 4th June, and the treatment is working and my gums have never looked or felt as good as it does now. If you have a gum issue, and are scared of getting it checked out, don't be. Go to Noble and see what needs to be done and start the treatment. It works, and it has helped me to learn more about gum health and also how to brush my teeth and gums properly. Don't let fear stop you from starting to feel better and know more about looking after your gums. The Team at Noble are just wonderful. When you first arrive, you meet the lovelies at the front desk. Carly and Kelsey are there to greet and welcome you and put you at total ease. I cannot praise them enough for how they made me feel on my first visit and would like to pass on my sincere thanks to the lovely ladies. As for Jack, well, he is my Gum Superstar, and I would like to pass on my thanks for all that he has done for me, and all that he continues to do for me. Thank you very much Jack, it is so appreciated by me, and I am so happy that I came and did this. To Mr Richard Longbottom; you have a great team, they are what make Noble what it is. Thank you for picking the right people and all the care that is shown with every visit. They are indeed the 'A Team'. Trisha Fox
