Philip’s Story – All on 4 Dental Implants


I had been researching All-on-4 or same-day teeth providers for about 2 years on and off before I came across Dental Solutions in Lymm. I had even investigated the lower-cost option of going abroad for treatment and looked at places in Budapest and Turkey. I eventually ruled this out as an option as the thought of anything going wrong and aftercare in the UK scared me. I thought if I had developed an infection, I’d be in a real mess. In my opinion, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is! So I then refined my search to clinics in the North West. I looked at places in Northwich and Daresbury before coming to Dental Solutions. I’d also read a lot online about Richard Brookshaw the implant surgeon and knew that he had a superb reputation.

To be honest, I have never liked going to the dentist, but when you walk through the door at Dental Solutions it doesn’t even have a dentist’s smell. Gavin’s room overlooks the Bridgewater Canal so there’s a lovely view out of the windows. There’s also a real personal touch here, you are called by your name and the whole team greets you warmly when they see you. Once I had decided to proceed with treatment the whole process was great. I had some hygiene treatment first, scans and castings, so by the time I came in for the treatment I genuinely didn’t feel any nerves, just a shared sense of calm with the team looking after me.

The sedation I had was great, to the extent that I asked Richard when he was going to start, to be told that the treatment was finished. When I finished I hugged Richard – probably with relief, but that’s the kind of guy he is.

I followed the instructions post-treatment with ice packs and a course of steroids and antibiotics which helped to keep bruising to a minimum.
When I got married last July I felt brilliant that I could smile properly for the wedding photos. Also, I can now eat anything I want, even a crisp crunchy apple which was a no-go area before!  This treatment has honestly given me the confidence to smile again and I should have done it years ago. So without meaning to sound too cheesy, here’s my advice if you are reading this…. Ignore all the rest, and come to the best!

So, if you are considering All on 4 implants, take Paul’s advice! Call the team today on 01925 756565 or book a consultation.

I came to dental solutions with severe anxiety of dentists and Lauren was so helpful, kind and patient with me. For the first time in years I've found a dentist who I feel comfortable with. Thank you

I had a wisdom tooth extracted by Gavin after having toothache due to my tooth breaking. I was nervous as I had not had a tooth removed by injection before. Gavin was reassuring, explained the procedure fully and it was over quickly with no pain. All staff at the practice are caring, friendly and professional and I have been going for many years. I highly recommend Dental Solutions.

Can’t speak highly enough of this practice and in particular Lauren. 2 years ago I walked in and was so nervous I cried just as the sight of the chair. Her and the staff have been so patient and understanding and have worked with me to overcome my phobia. This week I had a filling and was absolutely fine, my family couldn’t believe it. Reception staff are lovely and really accommodating too. So glad I found them, I don’t dread the dentist anymore.

A really Five Star Dental Practice! Upon arrival I was greeted by their most friendly welcoming receptionists. it seems nothing is 'too much trouble' to them. Gavin is similarly very friendly and the surgery is kitted out with the most high-tech modern equipment. On my first visit Gavin examined my teeth and explained my options to me giving me his recommendation for treatment and reasons why. Their Co-ordinator prepared a detailed quote for my treatment and went through it in detail with me, ensuring I understood everything; she had plenty of time for me as a patient. From the outset I had complete confidence in entrusting them with my dental care and the final results are truly amazing. Gavin and Richard could not have been more professional and my treatment was made as painless as possible. Dental Solutions provide a truly outstanding service and I thank them for my new 'long lost' smile and renewed confidence, especially when dining out and talking with people. I can't recommend them too highly.

A first class experience from start to finish. Despite being fearful of visiting the dentist, Gavin put me at ease with his gentle unhurried manner. I was surprised at how relaxed I actually felt undergoing treatment for a crown and the removal/replacement of front teeth veneers. Having felt self conscious about my front teeth for a long time, I decided to have my old veneers replaced. The results were amazing and far exceeded my expectations. What Gavin achieved was nothing short of a work of art, boosting my confidence tenfold. The practice itself is very welcoming, the customer service excellent and the staff are all very friendly and kind. I cannot recommend this dental practise highly enough.

I recently needed some urgent treatment and after trying a couple of dentists in the area, dental solutions were the only dentist that agreed to see me, genuinely nobody else showed any interest in helping me. The receptionist I spoke to initially was super compassionate and understanding and did all she could to get me in asap. I saw Lauren for all of my appointments, and I’ve now had: a composite filling, root canal and emax crown and just yesterday had a wisdom tooth extracted. I don't know what Lauren does but I have had zero pain or discomfort with any treatments during and after. I'm extremely happy with the results of her work. She definitely knows her stuff and filled me with the utmost confidence whilst in the chair! I literally cant find any fault with any of the experiences I have had so far. They go the extra mile and do it with a smile. What more can you ask for?! Definitely my dentist for the foreseeable future! Thank you Lauren and everyone!

Had my initial consultation with Lauren, truly professional and extremely friendly. She explained all my options in detail and following discussions opted for veneers and can't wait to see the end result.
