A good dentist is worth their weight in gold, so what price an exceptional dentist? Apostolos Zacharatos and his team have been looking after my teeth and gums for more than twenty years, and I can honestly say Apostolos has been the most professional, caring practitioner I have ever known. My teeth were not in the best of shape when I first start using Apostolos, but over time he has managed to maintain and restore my smile and most importantly my ability to eat anything I want.

I would highly recommend them. 5stars x

The first surgeon after a brutal attempt left the roots in and the second attempted for half an hour to take the roots out and gave up!

He has a wonderful assuring manner, and lovely staff and I can’t desc…
