Unfortunately, I have never had brilliant teeth- my first crown was at the age of 11 and my first denture at the age of 12. My situation got worse when I was expecting, and I had 7 crowns- mostly caused by abscesses. I ended up with a full denture in my top teeth but then I had a cyst in my lower jaw and my teeth were beginning to deteriorate there too. My bad teeth were really affecting me – I always shied away from photos and hated going out to eat. I have three lovely grandchildren who I loved being with, but I didn’t like to smile with them.
With no real alternative other than another denture at my NHS dentist, I decided to look at All-on-4 treatment. I found a couple of names that seemed suitable and came across the gavinismydentist website and read some of their reviews. I plucked up the courage and booked a consultation.
A scan detected that I didn’t have enough bone to have normal implants but instead that I could have Zygomatic implants in my cheekbones instead. There’s only a handful of surgeons who can perform this procedure and Richard Brookshaw is one of them so I’m so glad I came here. I also met with another patient at the practice who told me about her experience which was very reassuring.
Apparently it was a long day of treatment, but Patrick the anaesthetist was marvellous, and I didn’t feel or remember a thing about it. There was a bit of swelling and bruising afterwards but with the prescribed medications there was no pain and I quickly recovered in a few days. I initially ate soft foods like pasta and rice for 4 months but now I am eating properly again. And with no denture at the top of my mouth I can taste and chew completely normally which is fantastic. My new teeth also feel like they are part of me. I can’t single out a specific person to praise as everyone at Solutions has been lovely from the Receptionists to the hygienists and the dentists. I would encourage anyone considering this treatment to go ahead and would be happy to tell them about my own experience in more detail if they ever needed to know more.

I didn’t think implants would be an option due to the small space however I was proven wrong. Gavin went above and beyond during the process to ensure I ended up with an amazing smile. I was so happy with my teeth I even cried. Can’t thank Gavin and the team enough for everything they’ve done.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Vanessa Maria2024-09-25I have been a patient of Dental solutions for around 6 years and every visit has been a positive and pleasurable experience. I was in pain with a bottom front tooth a week ago, so phoned the practice and was given an appointment with Lauren an hour later. I am going through a difficult time at the moment and Lauren was very kind and caring as well as thorough and professional. Thankfully the source of pain was just induced by clenching, in turn causing sensitivity. Lauren prescribed a toothpaste which helped almost immediately. Thanks Lauren for the treatment suggestion but also for being so kind.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Carolyne Rogers2024-09-21I saw Lauren last week as I needed a root canal on a molar tooth.

Gavin and his team are lovely and immediately put you at ease, I really couldn't imagine going anywhere else now.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Andy Mackay2024-08-25Having a great fear of the dentist from my teens and having neglected my teeth since, i was forced to seek attention when my two front upper teeth came out. Gavin at Dental solutions was superb, putting me totally at ease. I then had all my top teeth replaced by implants. This was a totally free of pain experience. Two years later following a facial collision with a dog, I had four loose bottom teeth at the front. Another trip to see Gavin and again superb treatment throughout and painless. Another implant. The service at Dental Solutions is first class from the receptionists through to the dentist. I would recommend them without reservation.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.tom floyd2024-08-25An outstanding experience from beginning to end. I first connected with Dental Solutions through a friend's referral. Initially, I had planned to go to Turkey because I was unhappy with my smile and felt very self-conscious about it. Before making that decision, I visited Dental Solutions to see if there was any way to preserve my original teeth instead of undergoing invasive procedures abroad. The team exceeded my expectations at every step. Lauren suggested Invisalign treatment, and the results were incredible—my smile was completely transformed. She monitored my progress closely, even providing a home camera kit and regularly checking in via text to ensure everything was going smoothly. After the Invisalign treatment was complete, Gavin recommended edge bonding and assured me the results would be fantastic. Given my exceptional experience up to that point, I trusted their expertise and proceeded with the edge bonding. When I came in for the procedure, Dr. Amit delivered outstanding results. Having spoken with others who’ve had similar work done elsewhere, I can confidently say that the quality and care I received were unmatched. Dr. Amit took his time, thoroughly explaining each step and demonstrating his genuine passion for dentistry. Overall, the experience offered excellent value for money and was truly enjoyable. It has renewed my commitment to staying on top of dental appointments and restored my confidence in visiting the dentist. I highly recommend them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Vrancken` Matthew2024-08-24I have been a customer for years now and my experiences have always been 5 star.
