We had a great first visit at Metral Dental yesterday. Both my husband and I had appointments with Dr. John and we were really pleased with our experience. Justine was my hygienist and she was so gentle and really took her time. The team at the front desk was also very welcoming and kind. We are already booked in for our next visit, 10/10 recommend!

As a new patient, Metral Dental has made me feel the most welcome that I have ever felt at a dentist office, by everyone in the staff, (reception, hygienist, dentist). Very happy to have discovered this office.
