Our Patient Stories
Dr Smith and her team are excellent job at putting one at ease. The initial consultation was great, with Dr Smith taking me through the work to be done and setting out treatment options clearly. They are meticulous and the quality of work done is absolutely amazing, with no pain and minimal discomfort while working on my teeth. My dealings with each person at the practice, from front office to the dental experts, have been a pleasure.

I am absolutely thrilled with my outcome. Everyone was so professional, explained everything to me and the result is brilliant... There is a strict protocol for COVID-19 and I felt protected throughout the process

Dr Jean van Lierop did a cosmetic makeover of my front teeth using bonding. He was brilliant and my results were absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend him for any general/cosmetic dentistry.
