"I hadn't been to a dentist in almost 25 years following a traumatic experience during my last visit all those years ago.

I spoke with Brigitte in total confidence about my fear and she has been totally confidential with my issue and handled my treatment with the most sensitive and utmost care. It was possible I could easily have lost the remainder of my teeth over the next few years, but with the help of Brigitte that will now not happen and I can smile openly again.

The receptionists are always pleasant and very polite and friendly and speak to me as if they have known me for years. I am so so pleased the hard part is over for me and I can now go for regular checkups and hygiene appointments without a second thought.

A big thank you to the whole team x" - Bee Gill
