I recently had a dental implant to replace my lower right first molar and a crown fitted on the upper molar to restore proper bite and chewing function. The care and precision from Dr Macedo and the Monkfield Dental team were excellent from start to finish, and the result feels completely natural. Highly recommended.

Everyone (dentists, nurses and receptionists) is always very polite and welcoming. My daughter (11yo) is very quiet and nervous and has always had good experiences. We have had appointments with both Ricardo and João, and they have both made her feel at ease and relaxed, taking the time to explain clearly each stage of the process. Would definitely recommend!

Dr Ricardo was always very professional during the whole process for my implant. Enough time for explanations and clarifications. Never in a rush to get things done, expectations were more than fulfilled. Recommend!! No more nhs dentist for me

BEST DENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER‼️I joined monkfield dental as a new patient in late July and I had my first appointment very quickly in early August. I was anxious and I even ended up crying during my appointment because I’m very frightened of needles but I was made to feel very supported in that moment. Dr Ricardo and the dental assistant made light of the situation and made me feel comfortable. During the procedure they were consistently checking in with how I was doing and answered any questions or concerns I had. I know it’s all part of the job but it made me feel like they were making extra sure I was okay because I was a bit fragile at the beginning of the appointment. And for this I am endlessly grateful! Dr Ricardo and his team take duty of care very very seriously!I am very happy with the results and I want to say thank you to Dr Ricardo for giving me the confidence to smile again. 🤩 🦷 He is a very personable and friendly guy. He makes it very easy to ask questions and he answers them thoroughly and informatively. In fact, I think the entire team at monkfield dental is wonderful! ⭐️💐🌹

I recently moved to Monkfield Dental from another practice. I had an initial check up, then some fillings and some cleaning and polishing. In all cases I was delighted by the level of care and attention given by the whole team, who at all times provided a fully professional service. Very happy with the results and no longer feel concerned about visiting the dentist!

I also want to acknowledge the receptionist’s, Natalia genuine & welcoming smile as I walked in, it really set a positive tone. Thank you for making your patients feel comfortable & cared for 😊

I had my first visit to this newly opened dental clinic today after being disappointed with my previous dentist—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The clinic is state-of-the-art, clean, and modern. The staff were all incredibly polite and professional. I was seen by the head dentist ( Dr. Ricardo Macedo), who was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire procedure. I had a wisdom tooth extracted, and it was handled with such care and precision that I barely felt a thing. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality dental care!

Excellent service, everyone is welcoming and helpful. A lot of care and attention is spent on listening to each patient and making them feel relaxed and comfortable. My dentist and his nurse are kind, extremely knowledgeable and provide pain free treatments.

Monkfield Dental is an absolute gem. From the warm, friendly staff to the spotless, modern facilities, everything was amazing. The treatment was completely painless and handled with real professionalism by Dr. Ricardo. It’s rare to feel this comfortable at the dentist. Highly recommend!

The practice and all the staff are brilliant. Ricardo especially has been nothing short of fantastic with my 9 year old daughter. She had a bad experience elsewhere and was very nervous of even a routine check up. Ricardo made her very relaxed and calm. When she had to have an emergency tooth extraction, Ricardo was so good she actually came out smiling!

Fabulous! I am 61 and for most of my adult life I have always chosen dentists that offer sedation via intravenous. This is because of my fear /phobia originating from my childhood bad experiences. Today I had my 3rd appointment with Ricardo and Alexandria. I have had 3 very old fillings replaced (front teeth) and scale & clean, all whilst being completely awake. I didn't experience any pain. Right from the start Ricardo put me at ease, and kept me informed about the procedure. Each visit I have hardly felt the anesthetic injection, I couldn't hear the drill so it bore little resemblance to my earlier experiences (without sedation years ago). His assistant Alexandria was equally caring and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Monkfield Dental have not only fixed my teeth, but also helped me overcome my fear and anxiety.I imagine there are many others like me (of a certain age) that have been putting off the inevitable. Tooth decay will result in far more pain and discomfort than any visit to this excellent dentist. We are so lucky to have Ricardo / this dental practice in Cambourne!

Excellent dental surgery, Led by Ricardo. First class facilities. I had a lot of work done recently and the care Ricardo and his team give is first class. Everything is explained in as much detail as you want, and all questions answered in depth. Very pleased to have received a call from Natalia the following day to check on how I was feeling. Such a friendly environment. Thanks to the team.

Have visited 3 times. Dental consultation, scale & polish and crown replacement. Initially I thought the clinic was expensive. But upon reflection. The facilities, including the technology used, is extremely modern. The staff are extremely patient, professional and explain all treatments in advance, giving you options and risks. Appreciate this is a private clinic, if you are comparing to a facility taking NHS patients then this wouldn’t be fair. I agree there should be better access to NHS dental care, but this review is not reflecting this. Thank you team, great service.

Amazing experience. I am an extremely nervous dental patient after having some bad experiences when I was younger. I hadn’t been to the dentist in so long because of it and Ricardo and Natalia were brilliant - I was so at ease from my consultation to my next appointment where I had crown prep and airflow scale and polish. They checked in constantly during the procedure and it was my best experience to date. Would definitely recommend

This place is super clean, modern, stylish and the staff are great. Put me at ease straight away! Dr Ricardo Macedo Is highly skilled as are all the staff. My teeth have never felt better!

Best dentist in Town, the experience fromthe moment you step into the practice is next to none, welcoming staff, and relaxing atmosphere not like your typical standard dental practice. Ricardo is an amazing dentist, takes his time to explain everything in detail with a pace you can follow and gives his absolute attention. Something other dentists should usually do or care of. Highly recommend Ricardo and Monkfield dental!

Ricardo is hands down the friendliest dentist I’ve ever met—warm, approachable, and incredibly professional. You can tell he’s an expert at what he does, and his dedication to his craft really shows.As a designer, I also appreciate how beautifully designed the Monkfield Dental clinic is. It feels more like a high-end spa than a dental practice, which made the whole experience even more calming. Every detail, from the lighting to the layout, has clearly been thought through to help patients feel relaxed.If you’re someone who’s nervous about going to the dentist or just looking for a truly exceptional experience, I can’t recommend Ricardo and the team at Monkfield Dental enough.

Franceska Russell

17:09 09 Apr 25

Ricardo and his team are absolutely fantastic. My children love going to the dentist (amazing!). I attribute this to how comfortable Ricardo and the team make them feel and that they are willing to have a joke and a giggle with them too! Absolutely fantastic dentist that I would recommend to everyone.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how beautiful and clean the space is—modern, welcoming, and clearly maintained to the highest standards of hygiene.The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, making me feel comfortable and well looked after throughout my visit. It’s clear that patient care is their top priority.The dentist was exceptionally professional, attentive to every detail, and took the time to really listen to my concerns. I felt heard, understood, and completely confident in the care I was receiving.Highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality dental care with a personal touch!

As a very nervous patient I was apprehensive about my first appointment. Ricardo and his staff went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. Reassuring me and explaining each step of the treatment. I would highly recommend this practice. Thank you for caring.

15:16 26 Feb 25

I have recently become a patient of Monkfield Dental having previously had work done by Ricardo a few years ago in another practice.Although I have a 3 hour round trip it is worth it to be treated in a state of the art establishment by such professional, customer focused people.I have no hesitation in recommending Ricardo & his team to others.

Ella Stalker

13:08 15 Feb 25

Ricardo and his team are great, I bought in my daughter for an emergency appointment and felt very welcomed. Ricardo explained everything very well and his nurse was very chatty with my daughter and put her at ease. Would highly recommend!

Excellent practice! Great and modern facilities, easily accessible location, Monkfield Dental really made a difference to me in a moment of need as I have a broken tooth which had its resin damaged during a meal I had on a Friday night, and they promptly managed to fit me in on a Saturday morning to fix it for me. The work was impeccable and Dr Macedo is an amazing professional. I have no words to describe how this made my day and solved my problem with high quality standards. Thank you ever so much Dr Macedo.

Carlos Januário

16:21 01 Feb 25

Absolutely life-saving! We called them yesterday about a broken tooth, and they went above and beyond to fit us into their busy schedule. Ricardo did an amazing job—so perfect that we can’t even tell the tooth was ever broken. We definitely recommend them.

Really pleased with my experience at Monkfield Dental!The practice embraces the simplicity of modern spaces with cleans looks and aesthetic style, it is noticeable the time spent on the design.All the staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout my visit, the team is very friendly and professionally, taking all the time you need to explain the procedures in detail, quite important if you are like myself - not the most relaxed person sitting on a dentist chair.My check-up and cleaning went perfect – very pleased with the results.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dentist in Cambourne.

Always on time with appointments, detailed explanation of the the planned treatment and just great dentistry. When the dentist recommends a significantly lower cost treatment you know they are a keeper!

Really great experience at Monkfield Dental! Had previously been for hygiene consults elsewhere and always ended being underwhelmed by the results, to a point where I stopped going. I was blown away by how much of a difference a consultation with Dr. Ricardo made to my teeth. I really valued the advice I was given, which I felt to be adequate and sincere. The clinic looks amazing, a pleasant and calm space where to receive treatment. I will be looking to have regular appointments with Dr Ricardo from now.

I cannot recommend Monkfield Dental enough, and Ricardo is truly a standout. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him; he made every step of the process so smooth and stress-free. He’s not just an incredible dentist but also such a kind soul, which makes all the difference when you’re in the chair.Abi at reception is just as lovely – so warm and welcoming. From the moment you walk through the door, you can tell they genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond to make you feel at ease. An exceptional team and a wonderful experience every time.

Going to the dentist is never something one looks forward to – you go because you must. I broke a tooth and I happened upon Monkfield Dental. I have an anxious personality and was scared. Dr. Ricardo Macedo is friendly, kind and professional and, above all, very patient. I needed various visits, and always received caring attention from Dr. Ricardo and the other members of his team.

From my very first visit I have found this dentist like no other I have ever visited. From the very warm welcome by the receptionist to the skill and patience of Ricardo, I have never felt so calm about going to the dentist The treatment is first class with state of the art equipment. If you are squeamish about visiting a dentist fear not, go see Ricardo and his team for a friendly, first class service. Thank you all very much.

I'd left it a lot of years without any dental care, as have not been able to get an NHS appointment, but decided enough was enough and I should get a once over. The team there were lovely, efficient and got me in and out quickly. Would very much recommend.

Holly Shaw

12:18 12 Nov 24

After leaving it a lot longer than I should have, I summoned the courage to visit Ricardo at his newly opened practice. The practice instantly feels a welcoming and calm space which really helps calm the nerves. Ricardo took the time to explain and show me what needed to be done, and never did he make me feel guilty nor ashamed for my lack of dentist attendance over the years (this was also another thing I worried about!)I returned for my procedures which were all completed in one appointment. I had a lot of anxiety surrounding the dentist due to past experiences but feel that I will now be able to attend consistently to keep on top of things a lot better. Thank you.I recommend this practice especially to nervous patients :)

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Pietro Mannino and nurse Georgia Tobitt, and I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and care. The initial examination was thorough, with a set of X-rays and a clear, well-explained treatment plan. I had a complex filling done, and the process went smoothly without any issues. Overall, a great experience—highly recommended!

I recently visited Monkfield Dental Clinic and was extremely impressed with the service I received, from start to finish .The clinic was clean , very nice interior and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and professional and they coped with my humour 😅.The dentist was thorough and explained everything clearly, and even explained the anatomy and physiology of all the issues which arrived with some of my teeth in a very simple understandable manner with no jargon . This made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I would highly, recommend Monkfield Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental care.My teeth really look clean from the new air treatment polish and and stain free, finally I can say I have found my new permanent dentist place, which tailors to a clients need and takes time to explain.Cathrine

The whole of Ricardo’s team at Monkfield Dental are wonderful. I had not been to the dentist in two decades and it required someone special to gain my trust. The team quickly made me feel at ease and helped to alleviate the unwanted stress of visiting the dentist. They have really impressive new facilities that can provide for all of your dentistry needs. The preliminary investigations felt far more meticulous and comprehensive than anything I have ever received from previous NHS dentists. The problems with my teeth were clearly outlined to me and a clear treatment plan was shared with me before moving forwards. I felt well informed every step of the way and Ricardo made every effort to explain what was happening during each procedure and to ensure that I was comfortable throughout the process. I will keep returning to Monkfield for treatment in the future and can happily recommend them to anyone that is searching for a new clinic.

I cannot say enough positive things about Monkfield Dental! When my son experienced a dental emergency and we couldn't get a response from his regular dentist, we turned to Monkfield Dental for help. From the very first call, we were met with exceptional service. Doctors Ricardo and Pietro exhibited remarkable care and professionalism throughout the entire process of treating my son's tooth.My son is quite anxious when it comes to dental visits, but they went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at ease. Despite the complexity of the situation, they skillfully completed a root canal treatment without causing any additional stress or discomfort.What truly impressed me was the thoroughness of each visit. We never felt rushed or overlooked; instead, every aspect of my son's dental care was carefully attended to.

I popped into Monkfield Dental Practice recently and was blown away by the fantastic care I got. From the friendly hello at reception to Dr. Ricardo's professionalism, it was top-notch.

Plus, the team made sure I felt comfy and even shared some handy tips to keep my smile in tip-top shape. If you're after a great dentist, Monkfield Dental Practice is the one to check out!

I visited Monkfield dental for the first time last week and ended up having to book in two further visits. They were very accommodating and I was able to get everything sorted within the same week. It was a great service and Ricardo managed to save my teeth from further work being required. Would 100% recommend

I have had two appointments here recently, after almost 10 years of not visiting a dentist! This is a brand new practice, with modern decor and immaculately clean. The receptionist is very welcoming and eases your mind, if like me, you're a bit nervous. The dentist himself is a young, friendly practitioner who makes the extra effort to introduce himself personally with a big warm smile. He goes through the procedure with you - and explains the results of your X-rays & photographs. There is good communication between dentist and patient throughout the examination - so that too helps to calm and nerves. I had a new filling on my second visit and a complete clean (which was sorely needed!). All in all, for me at least, this was a smooth and pleasant experience - despite my low threshold to pain! Happy to go back there in 6 months time for another check-up.

Victoria Wilson

Monkfield Dental, led by the exceptional Dr. Ricardo Macedo, deserves nothing short of a glowing 5-star review. From the moment I stepped into the clinic, the welcoming atmosphere put me at ease. Dr. Macedo's expertise and genuine care were evident throughout my visit. The state-of-the-art facilities showcased their commitment to excellence. The dental team's professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made my experience truly outstanding. I left feeling confident in my oral health, grateful for the personalized care, and with a smile that reflects the high standards of Monkfield Dental. A top-tier clinic with an exceptional dentist.
