what our patients say
Have just switched to this dental practice and found my dentist and nurse to be extremely polite and helpful, I did not feel rushed, time was taken to put me at ease and my examination was very thorough. The reception staff were very professional

I’ve always struggled with confidence at the dentist due to years of negative experiences, but Ormskirk Cottage Dentist completely changed that. Huge thank you to Michael Cole — I’ve never felt so comfortable or relaxed in the chair. Professional, calming, and genuinely one of the best experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend to anyone with dental anxiety!
