I'm on Denplan, and the treatment I get from this clinic is exemplary. I trust my dentist more than I trust my bank manager!
I was very pleased with the results and the price was as quoted. I can't remember the exact amount I paid for the treatment, examination and hygienist.
Very happy.
As a patient of long standing, I have always been very happy with the treatment I receive.
Friendly staff, professional service. Exactly what I want from a dentist!
Always extremely pleased with this dental practice, where I have been going to for many, many years. As a very nervous patient, they are very good indeed.
It went okay.

Cavendish House has a special interest in Dental Implant treatment. We are a national postgraduate training centre in dental implantology and have trained over 300 dentists, both in the UK and internationally, in the field of dental implantology. We have our own on-site 3D CT scanner.
Implants can often be placed at the same time as a tooth is extracted.
With our on-site digital CT scanner we can provide implants using a computer guided 'keyhole' approach, which greatly increases accuracy and reduces patient discomfort.
