Cathedral Dental Clinic 166 Cathedral Road, Pontcanna, Cardiff CF11 9JD

"I've had some bad experiences with dentists in the past so, when I needed a crown a few years ago, I did a fair amount of research online to choose a new dental practice. There were many to choose from in the Cardiff area with good reviews. Most, as you would expect, had a smattering of star ratings across the spectrum; mostly four or five, a couple of three stars, the odd one star. When I came to the reviews for Cathedral Dental the reviews seemed endless and they were all positive. If there was a negative review, I didn't stumble across it. Without hesitation I decided this was the practice to whom I would entrust my future dental health. The crown they crafted for me over two weeks is beyond perfect. I actually forget sometimes which is the crown and which the natural tooth next to it. I'm hoping they can repeat the trick again on my crumbling premolar. Quality dentistry is not cheap, and they aren't, but not more expensive than any other dental practice outside of Harley St. as far as I can tell, given that I only have so many teeth and I haven't had the chance to sample them all. Whatever the cost, they are worth every penny. They are very professional but don't treat you like a cash cow, more like an old friend (even if you've been naughty and skipped a few check ups). Simply the best dentists I've ever had in my life. My only gripe is that I wish they were a bit closer to the city centre. Their current location - in a picturesque Victorian era town house between Llandaff Fields and Sophia Gardens - is rather out of the way, although well served by public transport."

Dr Kolahi is a brilliant dentist who is meticulous in her work and shows great skill and care to her patients. I am grateful for their care over the years and highly recommend this dental practice to anyone. ( Alyson Macnamara)"

"Cathedral Dental Clinic (CDC) Review I’ve been having orthodontic treatment for over 10 years. Until I went to this clinic I had seen around 5 dentists and paid a fortune out on correcting the work done by previous orthodontists. Before going to see Vida and the team I had had over 7 years of braces and the final result was terrible. I had bridges that were pushed forwards and my front teeth were beginning to cross. Vida and the team went through all the options in a way that I could understand to help guide me through deciding the perfect treatment to achieve the perfect result. Instead of being overwhelmed by the options, Vida helped break down the entire journey and was patient with my decision making. In previous experiences I felt rushed and confused by orthodontists. At CDC the process helped me feel confident that the team work hard to create teeth tailored for you. The big fear is always cost. At CDC the team are there to help you find the best plan for you. This can often be the deal breaker and the fear of what that cost will be can mean as patients we neglect our oral hygiene and corrective surgery. Since having corrective treatment my confidence has increased significantly. After having 10 years of concealing my smile I am able to connect with the world confidently. I am forever grateful for the team for helping me achieve the perfect result and for your empathy for my long journey. If you’re worried about even visiting an orthodontist but also insecure about your teeth, go have a conversation and see what options you have. A beautiful smile really is one of the most amazing things to possess. I have never felt so confident. Thank you Vida and everyone at CDC."
