Dentists Cumbria

Had a fractured tooth right at back left upper side. I thought this might cause some problem. Happy to report this was not the case and the treatment given was first class! Thank you Jasmin!! Previously a patient with the practice that Teckham have taken over.very pleased to carry on as a patient with teckham.

Opened up half an hour early, so I wasn't late for my work. Excellent service.

This is my husband's experience: After unpleasant experiences with the school dentist, I was not looking forward to the process. Noel Perkins and his team have been superb. Noel came highly recommended by my sister, who’d had equally unpleasant experiences as a child, her high praise was well-founded and justified the long journey for each appointment. The care and attention to detail have been second to none. Noel is both calm and calming, completely putting me at ease. He explained every single stage of proceedings. His initial examination was lengthy and comprehensive, I was given various options and was pleased to see, I paid for treatment along the way, not in initial one-off payment. Noel advised me that wearing dentures since I was a child had caused rare jaw problems, top and bottom, but he has efficiently overcome all complications, with meticulous attention to detail. I needed bottom dentures to be able to chew, NHS partial lower dentures had never worked, despite having 2 different sets. I had the implants put in; the same day I had remaining bottom teeth removed along with bone augmentation. It was a long appointment, the anaesthetic was amazing, I was awake but totally pain-free. I thought I’d been in the chair 20 minutes, but it had been much longer. Temporary dentures were fitted to click on implants. Truthfully the whole process afterwards was no more painful than a normal extraction. A soft diet afterwards was crucial. I had a couple of appointments to adjust the bottom plate while the gum was healing. I had restorative work on top teeth, root canal, crown all were pain-free, not surprising as Noel is highly skilled and experienced. I travelled to Carlisle to Noel's technician Robert Taggart, who is a master at his craft. He too spoke very highly of Noel. Initially, Robert made adjustments to the existing top plate, whilst bottom implants and gum healed, later he crafted the final top and bottom dentures, after the healing period. Having had NHS dentures for over 50 years, where impressions are taken and teeth picked up on next appointment, these Gerber dentures are a revelation, so natural looking. I had no idea how much care and attention to detail would be taken to make these. There were numerous fittings with different bite points but the end result is totally worth it. They have been admired and look totally natural, as well as being more comfortable. This has been a two-year journey, made longer by COVID 19 lockdown, but it has been totally worth it. From the beginning, Crossbank is not like any other dental surgery I’ve ever been to. The whole friendly and relaxing experience put me at ease and I have already recommended Noel Perkins to others as an empathetic, highly skilled professional dentist who truly cares.

My wife failed to get treatment from NHS dentist when needed to refill temporary root canal filling which fell out. Decided to go private to get the required treatment, as told by NHS dentist's receptionist to purchase a temporary filing kit and do it herself. Excellent Was given a good checkup and told what was good and what was not about her teeth. The root canal tooth was refilled, but, was told that the tooth was cracked, and would not be able to be saved.

Both of my children, age 5 and 7 go to Mrs Morgan and we have also seen Mr Morgan once too. Mrs Morgan is superb with my children , she has a special approach to the children, friendly with authority which makes them relax and feel safe. This helps reassure me as a parent too. My eldest boys' emerging adult teeth have been a bit awkward and I trust Mrs Morgan 100% in her care and advice. On the one occasion we have seen Mr Morgan , I think he is also similar in his approach of being a down to earth , friendly , helpful dentist. Overall, the staff on reception are also extremely helpful and friendly , the clinic has a welcoming and professional feel.

I had been having problems with a crown that kept coming out. On a routine check-up, Mr. John Harkess found that the root was cracked and that was also the reason why I had been suffering from an abscess. He referred me to his colleague Dr. Satya Patel. Dr. Patel explained that he would normally replace the crown with an implant. But, because the bone would need to be built up and as I have a history of heart problems, he felt such a procedure could be too invasive. As my other front teeth were either cracked or discolored he suggested three bridges. However, because I have a deep bite, he said this could cause problems with the new bridges. He, therefore, recommended removing the silver fillings from my top front teeth and replacing them with white composite fillings which would allow him to adjust my bite by building them up to reduce the gap. The whole procedure took three visits. He took great care and attention and explained everything as he went along. He and his assistant Rachel were very patient and put me at ease throughout. I am very pleased with the end result and will have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Patel and his team to my friends. I am a regular attender at Stringlandgate Dental Practice and have always found the staff polite and helpful.
