REVIEWS
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
EXCELLENT Based on 71 reviews Posted on Google Hilary SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to the Dental Practice UK several years' ago - ashamed of my teeth and never wanting to smile. I came away with a lovely smile. Fantastic practice with wonderful staff. They offer a dentist, hygienist, teeth alignment and all the normal things but done efficiently and kindly and not excessively expensive. I believe initial consultations are free. Moreover, they have two technicians on site who can make, mend or adjust dentures until you are completely happy. I come all the way to their practice in Brighton from my home in Southampton for all my dental needs - that's how good they are.Posted on Google William HarropTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Andrew & his team for a very professional service. I was extremely well looked after, every detail of my procedure was fully explained and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result.Posted on Google abby hopeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The receptionist is always so friendly and welcoming the second you walk in, which makes the visit feel easier. Andrew is amazing, gentle and patient and really takes time to explain everything so you feel comfortable. The whole team makes going to the dentist such a positive experience. My teeth are wonderful. I left every appointment feeling well cared for. Maureen.Posted on Google jo williamsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend the practice enough, absolutely fantastic. My dentist recommended them, and I am glad she did. The receptionist was very helpful and lovely, very knowledgeable.I had a full set of dentures made by Graeme. From start to finish he was attentive and very much a perfectionist. He explained the process from start to finish and answered all my questions. I came out of there with absolutely gorgeous natural looking teeth. Worth every penny, and they are very reasonable prices. I can call and visit Graeme at any point I have any problems with the dentures, which he can do while you wait. I would highly recommend. 😁 5 *****.Posted on Google Buzz TattooTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly and extremely helpful.

However I needn’t have worried-throughout the whole process I received wonderful, caring, professional, treatment from him and his team. Andrew was incredibly patient and understanding and made me a SUPERB set of dentures. Also the aftercare he offers is exemplary. I am very grateful for his expertise and have no hesitation in recommending Andrew.
