Amazing service

Andrew Kennedy Adebo Ogun

Excellent place. Properly organised. Computerised dental clinic. Professional dentists and nurses. I went to fill a chipped tooth that had plagued me since I was a youth and was impressed with the professionalism of this clinic. Large car parking space. A swimming pool and a children's play area. Impressive. Recommended, but not cheap!

My dental experience was really good. My assigned dentist, Dr. Abisola, was awesome. She handled me with care and made sure I got answers to my dental questions. I had a routine cleaning and X-ray done on this visit. All their staff were pleasant. The price was very reasonable.

Sarah Aderemi

I took my 3-year-old son to Schubbs for his first teeth cleaning, and we had a wonderful experience! Dr. Ken knew exactly how to put him at ease in the new environment. He is clearly gifted in working with kids. On our way home, my son told me that he wanted to go back to the dentist! We have watched the videos of his experience countless times already! Wow! Thank you, Dr. Ken, for making his experience such a positive one! I am forgetting his assistant's name, but she was absolutely a delight too! She was so caring and kind.

I was recommended to Schubbs after I woke up with a swollen gum. I booked an appointment to get it checked and sent to see Dr. Femi. I will say Dr. Femi knows his onions. He made me feel at ease and took his time to explain procedures to me. Ms. Eloho, on the other hand, was helpful, and in all, I will say my visit was splendid.
