I’ve been going to this practice for about five years, and since it became Chatam Dental, it’s been a huge step up. The place looks great, completely renovated and way more inviting.Dr. Aleena has been looking after me, super professional, easy to talk to, and makes everything feel straightforward. Booking is simple, and the whole process is smooth from start to finish.The new technology they’ve brought in is impressive too. The 3D scanner for retainers especially, it's way more comfortable than the purple molds!Really happy with the care I’ve had here. Would definitely recommend!

Had a great experience with Dr. Ahmed at Chatham Dental. Went in for a filling and he made the whole process super easy and painless. He’s really calm, professional, and explains everything clearly. The clinic is clean, modern and the staff are so friendly.If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and compassionate dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Ahmed. I’ll definitely be coming back for the future care!

It’s rare that I ever have such a positive dental experience, and the best ones are always in Chatham Dental. Dr Aleena and her team go above and beyond for their patients and you really feel that when you go in. I could not recommend Chatham dental enough, my only regret is that it took me this long to find them!

This is my third visit here and I cannot fault them anywhere. From walking in the door to the receptionist, getting my teeth done the whole experience start to finish was lovely. They make you feel so comfortable and everyone is so nice which is great when you are already feeling nervous about the visit. What they've done I'm my teeth already was great and I am looking forward to my next appointment.

I just finished my Invisalign journey with Dr. Kate Frawley, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Dr. Frawley was incredibly professional, attentive, and kind. She always took the time to explain every step of the process in detail and made sure I was comfortable during each procedure.The first time I walked into Chatham Dental, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease. I had all my questions answered clearly and received such valuable advice on how to take better care of my teeth.A huge thank you to Dr. Kate Frawley, nurse Caitlin, and the entire team at Chatham Dental. You’ve made this experience not only easy but enjoyable. I truly can’t recommend this clinic enough!

I’ve been going to this clinic for over three years now, and I couldn’t be happier, always straight to the point. The care is always exceptional—warm, professional, and always on time. I had the Invisalign treatment with Aleena and the results were even better than I expected—absolutely amazing! Every treatment I’ve had here has gone smoothly with no issues at all. It’s such a relief to know you’re in good hands. Highly recommended!

Cannot rate Chatham Dental anything other than 5 stars. My experience with Dr Aleena and her team has been excellent each time and I have had a few, from general checkups, to cleaning, to whitening, to composite bonding. The team is knowledgeable, professional, thorough, quick and efficient. The clinic is very nicely decorated and is really warm and welcoming - you almost forget you're at the dentist! Thank you to the team for a pleasant experience each time.

Dr. Aleena and her team are fantastic. I decided to get my composite bonding redone here last summer after previously having them done elsewhere a few years ago.
