Everyone was very helpful and kind. I had my only back tooth reshaped for a crown in a couple of weeks. Very relaxed and in good care with Alex and Angel. Thank you to Alastair, Alex, Angel and Poonam. I have now finished my treatment and I have been fitted with a set of dentures which feel comfortable and am enjoying eating my food with my new back teeth My first mouthful was of blackberries picked on my walk home

Having had a fairly traumatic visit to the practice recently, I can’t fault their professionalism and kindness.

Very happy with the excellent treatment I received from Flora and her assistant today to replace a couple of fillings. Plenty of explanation, consideration and the work was carried out efficiently and painlessly. These were visible fillings and I'm delighted with the results. I always find the team are helpful and professional.

Although I attended the Savernake Dental Practice for a routine check up I was very impressed with the professionalism, client care and rapport skills that Megan has. Fortunately, no work needed this time but I appreciated Megan's genuine interest in hearing about my children's educational aspirations and her experience of making choices as a younger student. Highly recommended and many thanks.

My treatment was fully explained to me in advance and carried out with no pain at the time or thereafter. I had an extraction and didn't even realise when had been completed. Very pleased with the outcome.

The Practice is always efficient and professional. We are always treated with respect. This is the second front tooth Implant treatment my wife has had with Alistair Hetherington. She is in her early 80's and, as before, found Alistair to be very caring and patient. He explained his treatment clearly and with understanding. She is extremely pleased with the outcome and relieved not to be embarrassed to give a big smile. Many thanks Alistair,
