Dentists near East Belfast (Castlereagh)

Can anyone recommend a good dentist near Castlereagh, in East Belfast?
Am I best to look for an NHS one or private? Surely NHS Dentists are cheaper but are they as good?

    Thats actually quite near me, so will look into them. Noticed they seem to have 1male and 2 female dentists. Nowt against the female dentists, but have heard a few horrow stories when they didn't have the strength to pull peoples teeth... eek. Think I'd prefer male if possible. Thanks all same.

    There is also one in Cherry Valley / Gilnahirk who has recently refurbished with a lot of new equipment and does both NHS and private work ... try 02890 401689.

    Any chance of a name and address? - am already registered with local dentist, but really want to change, however I know existing practice has several branches and it could be embarrassing to find it's the same guy behind this. Tks.

    Ivan - i love you! You have ended my month-long search for an NHS dentist!
    I got to the point where i was just going through the phone book ringing each dentist and being told "No NHS patients".
