I had major pain in my lower molar and needed an emergency dental surgery appointment. I called the line and was met by the kindest and most patient receptionist, I was in a lot of pain and wasn't able to speak properly but the receptionist got me booked in for that afternoon.I went in and had my tooth taken out and I thought it was going to be very painful but I was very wrong. The total procedure took about 40 mins and I was feeling really well after I was done. There is a minor bit of pain like with any extraction but Dr Ahmed and his assistant were some of the best people I have had dental work with. I have had work done in different countries and out of all places I felt really safe and welcomed at Shine Dental.I would recommend this place to anyone who needs their teeth out and is unsure or nervous of how things are going to go. When I woke up this morning for the first 5 mins I looked into the mirror and laughed as the pain I had been dealing with for such a long time was finally gone.Thanks,Benjamin

The dentist at shine dental is amazing. Always friendly and professional and goes above and beyond. I had a severe abscess and the dentist came from another practice on his lunch hour to sort it out. 5 stars.

I saw Dee as a first time patient - I cannot speak highly enough of my experience.Dee is very calming and caring, in a very relaxing atmosphere.All the staff are very efficient and friendly.I also had to book an appointment for the hygienist for a clean - not always a pleasant experience when you have sensitive teeth. Jessica the hygienist was very kind and informative, and Liz the nurse very pleasant.Both visits very relaxed and top class care received. Cannot speak highly enough of my care received.Thank you Shine.

Just wonderful. Having a deep rooted fear of the dentist, Shine Dental have for the first time in my life made me feel okay about going to the dentist. So much so I have had a root canal and in the process of another. Previously even check ups would warrant my whole family needing to be aware and offering support. It’s not an exaggeration to say moving to Shine has been life changing. If you know , you know.

Two very pleasant young ladies the hygienists...... Had a nasty experience with a doctor inspecting my throat that morning (plenty gag noises). The girl's were made aware and cleaned my teeth with the most soothing experience. Thank you 😊

Just a routine visit for me this time. Dee and her team are always friendly and welcoming. I have complete confidence in the service and the advice I get at Shine.

I have had many dental and aesthetic procedures from Shine. They have always been polite, helpful and sympathetic, and the results are just what I wished.They do not push their services in order to make more sales, but give you the details so that you can make an informed decision regarding your own care.

Always professional and Always welcoming. The team make sure you are cared for. You can always get through to a receptionist for an appointment.They definitely Shine for me!

The surgery has a very welcoming atmosphere. Staff are always polite, helpful and professional. 'No fillings this time Mummy' so what's not to like?

Dee and the team have been fantastic in managing my dental care.I wasn't born with the best teeth - so managing them has always required a very good dentist (which is hard to find at the best of times).Dee and the team have consistently done a great job on a number of procedures including bone grafting, root canals, a complex maryland bridge and some clever composite bonding work to improve my bite (I won't do Invisalign, but my partner has invisible through Shine dental).I especially appreciate Dee referring to a number of specialists on some issues, and then actually coming back to me with recommendations (I trust her because she keeps her word).

I feel lucky that we have Shine Dental in our area. It's a lovely practice, as soon as you enter you can see it's clean and efficient. The team go out of their way to be helpful and caring. Definitely the best dental practice I have attended. I can't recommend them enough.

I have a deep-rooted fear of dentists, stemming from a truly brutal experience in childhood. After that, I avoided the dentist for many years, only to finally build up the courage in adulthood — and was then met with another terrible, terrifying experience. You cannot underestimate the damage a bad dentist can do, both physically and psychologically.It took me a full year from my initial enquiry at Shine Dental Surgery to actually pluck up the courage to book an appointment. From the very first moment, I was met with genuine sympathy and understanding.Dee is extraordinary — her gentleness and expertise are second to none. I have gone from having full-on palpitations and sweat literally dripping from my body, to feeling almost relaxed about the whole process.I still wouldn’t say I enjoy dental appointments, but I am no longer paralysed by fear. That, for me, is a remarkable transformation, and I cannot thank Dee and the team enough.Highly recommended for anyone who feels anxious or fearful — you will be in the safest of hands.

Mr Siddiqui Is just the best dentist you could ask for. Both me and my teenage daughter use him. I was nervous for 20 years about visiting the dentist but I no longer have that fear.

Shine is a beautiful dental practice, in the heart of Ripponden village, the Staff are literally the best. Friendly, welcoming and full of fun, My personal Dentist Dee, is wonderful she totally understands her patients, and my needs. It's the best Practice I've been too by miles.. If you are looking to switch or find a reliable, friendly & caring Dental Clinic, then Shine Dental is the Place.. Highly recommended! *****

This is by far the best dentist I have ever known. The service is quick and ( usually ) painless. It is also immaculate and the staff are very pleasant and professional.

I am beyond terrified of the dentist and haven't been to one for 20 years as a result. However I cannot rate Dr Dee Patel and her team highly enough, when I had to have an extraction recently. I cannot thank them enough for their patience whilst I was a hysterical mess and for being so empathetic and caring throughout the 2 appointments. The treatment was completely pain free and I am now joining Shine Dental as a patient. I haven't completely lost my fear but I know I can put my whole trust, with the care for my teeth, in Dr Dee Patel. THANK YOU.

Cannot thank the wonderful team at Shine Dental enough for a consistent, welcoming and happy environment when undergoing recent treatment. It was never daunting and, dare I say, I enjoy my visits! Dee you are a superhero and thank you very much for all your hard work and efforts! See you all very soon. Warmest wishes, Bhavna x x x

I was referred originally to Shine for a gum graft with their periodontist Tobias . I was so impressed with the practice and the resulting treatment that I moved practice and had a consultation with Dee for bridgework / smile makeover. The whole team are incredibly friendly and professional : Dee explained everything before and during treatment , putting me at ease throughout. I am over the moon with the results , giving me back the confidence to smile naturally again. The practice has a calm and relaxing ambience , and patient care is second to none ! I would highly recommend Shine.

After years of having an irrational fear of the dentist I finally made an appointment at Shine Dental.On arrival everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I was introduced to Dee who put my mind at rest and made me feel relaxed.I have been having treatment with Tobias who is very kind and gentle and keeps me informed throughout my treatment.Thank you Shine Dental for curing me of my ‘dentist phobia’.

Astrid Wilson

14:06 02 Feb 25

I was very nervous about this appointment as I had my 3 month old son with me but I had no childcare. I shouldn't have worried as Dee put my mind at rest and made me feel completely welcome with him and said there were enough people to settle him if needed (it was only a check up appointment). I was completely put at ease and whilst having my check up someone did come in to keep my son occupied which made the whole experience less stressful!

Helen Whitehead

08:09 01 Feb 25

I have had bad experiences in the past with dental treatment and get very anxious. However Dee is extremely understanding, patient and kind. The practice has a relaxing atmosphere and all the staff are lovely. I couldn't recommend this dental practice enough. Thank you for being so kind.

My interaction with the dental team has been very positive. They very much work as a team offering a pleasant environment for patients.They have always provided me with a caring and professional service.

Timothy Bagshaw

17:10 07 Jan 25

Freindly, calm, no queues or waiting, receptionists helpful. Only issue I have had was poor advice and detail regarding the best way to progress my poor gum disease. Visiting different specialists at different times just taking money off me when process vould have been in a more cost efficient process.

Natalie Ingham

10:50 07 Jan 25

So glad I moved to Shine Dental from my old NHS practice. The service is excellent with regular scheduled appointments throughout the year that suit my busy diary, efficient reminders and nothing is too much trouble. I pay a small monthly fee that covers my dental needs and am so glad I made the switch!

John Wadsworth

I have been going to Shine Dental for many years (as has my wife). The surgery is bright and clean and the staff are welcoming. We are both over 70 and thanks to the care and advice our teeth are in good condition. We both recommend Shine Dental.

I received excellent customer service at Shine ! Their delightful reception staff are most welcoming to new patients. The dental nurses , and both dentists Dee and Tobias who I have seen are incredibly professional in their approach. I had complicated gum graft surgery yet their care was both reassuring and outstanding. I am very impressed with the results . Thank you !

Dee and the rest of team at Shine Dental Surgery, Ripponden are amazing.Going to the dentist is something i avoided until i really needed to go as i was so apprehensive. I was this way since my early years but since starting at Shine this has been totally reversed.Dee puts you totally at ease and explains each stage of your treatment so there are no surprises. The surgery is open and bright lending itself to making you more relaxed pre treatment. The same could be said of the treatment rooms.Costs are always a concern with dentists today, i have found Shine to be comparable with other dentists and the costs are outlined right from the start, so no surprises.I have recommended Shine to friends and family so wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone else.

Barbara Fulstow

Fearful of my forthcoming tooth extraction I arrived at Shine anxious! Absolutely no fear needed. Greeted by lovely receptionist and the dentist and nurse were wonderful. All went well and I would like to assure anyone - do not worry you will be treated with great care and consideration.

A very caring practice.The staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They listen and advise, putting you at ease as soon as you enter their door. I personally am not a 'fan' of going to the dentist but even I feel that I am in safe hands when I visit the practice. Thank you to all the staff at Shine.Sue H.

Adele Farnaby

Not my usual dentist but was seen as an emergency after suffering with agonising pain. So impressed with the service. The tooth was treated. I left with great aftercare advice, antibiotics and most importantly pain free. Would definitely recommend. Was able to book the appointment on line too.

Luke

16:06 09 May 24

Amazing, this sums up this wonderful dental practice, was able to book for same day appointment. Dee was so patient and understanding, as a nervous patient who hadn’t visited dentist, due to denta-phobia! She made me feel at ease and explained the full process to me, and a plan has been put in place for me to get my oral health on track.

Jessica Lawrence

14:25 09 May 24

The team at Shine Dental are amazing. 5* service. I took my 1 year old, Esme, to see Dee for her first ever trip to the dentist. Dee was fantastic with her, fun, engaging, thorough and most importantly patient. After Esme’s check up it was my turn for a check & clean. Ash came to the rescue when Esme was unsettled and kept her company, I was nervous taking my baby to my appointment but I didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable for having Esme sit through my appointment too. All the team were brilliant. Thank you!

I’ve been attending the practice for many years & have always been happy with the treatment and service. I had an appointment with Dee a few weeks ago as I was interested in composite bonding. She fully explained the process and advised me as to the best way forward. I agreed with her recommendation and the treatment took place after a short while. From my point of view the outcome is amazing - very natural and some of my friends haven’t even noticed the difference until it was pointed out to them ! The before and after pictures show the difference. Dee and her staff have been fabulous throughout - very attentive and caring and I would highly recommend them and the treatment

Rachel Brear

14:42 15 Mar 24

Had a scale and polish and a previous filling re done today. The dentist and support nurse constantly checked I was ok during the treatment as I was very nervous. Treatment was a success. Thanks

Very friendly and approachable staff. Modern and clean facilities . Dee is a very gentle, dextrous and efficient dentist. Everything is explained clearly and patient comfort and care is foremost. I had a crown and veneer replaced and they look perfect . Thank you to all at Shine Dental Ripponden.

Eleni

Much cheaper to see hygienist here than MyDentist in Halifax. Convenient appointment times (early mornings and evenings!) and free on road parking. Reception staff friendly and helpful and the place itself is welcoming and treatment is very good. Highly recommend.

Charlotte Murray

I cannot say enough good things about Shine Dental! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and at ease. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Dee is not only highly skilled but also takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring that I and my children are comfortable with every procedure.The clinic is spotlessly clean and modern, which adds to the overall positive experience. The local scene decals on the walls are a lovely addition!What truly sets Shine Dental apart is their commitment to patient comfort. They go above and beyond to make sure you're relaxed during your visit, which is especially appreciated if you're a bit apprehensive about dental work.I can confidently say that Shine Dental is the best dental practice I've ever been to, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of dental care.Charlotte

I have been with Shine since they opened their practice in Ripponden. Until then I had never experienced how consistently professional and friendly a dental practice could be. It's a pleasure to be cared for by them and I have no hesitation in providing my recommendation.

Alan Rogers

16:28 15 Sep 23

I have been with Shine since it moved into Ripponden many years ago now. It's a lovely fresh, bright and clean facility and every dentist, hygienist and member of staff I've met there has been great. I would certainly highly recommend this surgery to anyone - if they still have patient vacancies.

Lesley Clements

09:31 14 Sep 23

I have attended Shine Dental Surgery since it opened. I have always been impressed by their standards in both professional and interpersonal.Over the years their standard of service has been impeccable. Their explanation of procedures and options has always been clear and they are very patient, explaining aspects of treatments, in my case many times, ensuring I understood what was happening and what to expect. Whilst other dental practices gave adequate information I feel that Shine Dental Surgery make a point of ensuring my full understanding of all aspects of my treatment.I would not hesitate to recommend Shine Dental Surgery for any procedure from check ups to implants.Lesley Clements

Joy Thompson

Having had some negative experiences with other dentists I'm always fearful of any dentist. But shine are really nice, very friendly, make you feel at ease and it's a beautiful surgery to visit. My daughters love going too as they're always made to giggle and get stickers.

Jacqui Grove

14:02 08 Sep 23

First visit to see Dee at Shine. She was lovely, gave my mouth and teeth a thorough check over and took some x-rays. She reassured me that my teeth look fine at the moment but she would keep an eye on a couple of things. I feel reassured that I've had a thorough check up and will be looked after extremely well going forward. I'm so glad I've signed up to the dental plan as that gives me piece of mind that I can keep on top of my oral health in the future. Thank you to everyone at shine, you all do an amazing job. 😁

Having not visited the dentist for 10 years having a phobia I required a deep clean. I was made to feel very comfortable and experienced no pain at all even when receiving the injections. I am far less apprehensive about my next appointment in a weeks time. Very happy with the whole experience and highly recommend!
