"I must admit I was a bit nervous this morning on my way for a filling, but I shouldn't have worried. I was made to feel at ease, everything was explained to me and the procedure was professionally done and completely pain free. I shouldn't have worried!! Highly Recommended."

"I was very nervous about going to the dentist and had avoided it for sometime even though I knew I needed work done! Dr Patel and his whole team have been brilliant. The experience has been so positive, all procedures needed are explained clearly. Everything is done to make you feel relaxed, comfortable and confident with what is happening. Patient comfort is an absolute priority. I totally recommend Dr Patel and the practice"

“I’m an extremely anxious person when it comes to the dentist and find it to be quite terrifying. Dr Patel soon put my fears to rest and explained everything to me, putting me at ease almost immediately. He explained my treatment clearly, offered me options and worked with me to work out a plan. I’m so grateful to find a dentist who doesn’t push treatments on you, listens to your concerns and works with you to get the work done - thank you so so much - I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist absolutely come here 10/10!”

“I went to the BDL for the first time at the end of March. I confessed I had not been to a dentist for about ten years. Dr Patel did not judge me in any way but assured me he could sort out my issues. I am a very anxious patient and he worked hard to help me to relax. All the work he has done has been of excellent quality and my mouth is feeling significantly cleaner. Many thanks. Kathryn Tansley”

“This clinic is simply wonderful. As an anxious patient I truly appreciated the friendly helpful receptionists who reassured me before my appointment. Dr Akhil Patel was so kind, knowledgeable and talked me through all the different options I could go with. When I eventually got round to my treatment it was completely painless and when I was shown the after result I was blown away. I am finally happy with my teeth and my dentist, would recommend this surgery to all my friends and family.”
