If you can register here, don't even think about it. DO IT!
Ashamedly, I had not visited a dentist in almost two decades (as an ex smoker, I was too embarrassed) and the longer time passed, the worse my fears and perceptions became.
I decided to take action finally, and from the moment I stepped into Practice van der Wal, I knew I had made the right decision!
I was met by a super friendly cheerful receptionist, and I was immediately impressed by the lovely light and airy (and spotlessly clean!) interior :)
Léonie my fab new Dentist welcomed me with open arms and was so so brilliant at making me feel both very welcome and reassured me completely that everything was going to be just fine!
I had some Xrays, and got to see my results instantly and Léonie explained everything to me in simple terms, and thankfully my teeth were in relatively good shape.
My very first hygienist experience was rather traumatic (I have never had my teeth scraped before!), but Henriëtte was also just lovely at setting my mind at ease, and going at my own pace. My second visit to her today was much better and actually quite enjoyable!
I can't compare to other practices (these guys are the only one's I've ever had in the Netherlands) but I feel like I got very lucky hit the jackpot :))))))
All in all, I absolutely love this practice and my new rock star team of teeth wizards! They make you feel like family instantly and I cannot recommend them enough.
