Patient reviews
I have recently joined The Gardens Dental Practice, as a very nervous patient with Mike being my dentist. I have had a few visits so far, two of which for fillings with more treatment to come. Every appointment Mike has been patient, listens to me, explains everything, gentle and reassuring during treatment which is just what I need, I am so thankful. Also thank you to Anne, Jackie, Theresa and Craig for their help and warm friendly welcoming, you all make coming to the dentist that bit easier. Wish I had joined you sooner!
Following an appointment requesting treatment with regard to losing part of a tooth, I was then contacted asking if I could attend earlier due to a cancelled appointment. I was assessed and treated on the same day. All staff were polite and efficient and I would certainly recommend The Garden Dental Practice.
I’ve just had an implant to replace a gaping gap in my front teeth. From beginning to end of the process, I had nothing but the best care, totally pain free too. Every step of the way explained, and the cost laid out in an understandable plan. A very professional and kind approach, with amazing attention to detail. Thank you Mike and all involved for such an excellent result.
I had a full set of implants done and I am very happy with the end result. Having a dental disease is not fun but I can finally stop worrying about my teeth. They look great!
