Braces Hampshire, UK

Went to the Portswood surgery for teeth clean, this was my first visit. The hygienist and assistant were very professional and welcoming. Very thorough clean, not rushed, and given advice about mouth wash. Wasn't cheap, think about 100 pounds, but I felt I got good value, and they made this 'chore' as pleasant as they could.

I recently had some upper front crowns replaced that had been done by the NHS and were looking a bit yellow. VIDA carefully explained the safest way of me having this treatment and actually getting to approve my new crowns before they were fixed in place. VIDA gave me control over how I looked and this really has my confidence to make the change. I wore trial crowns for a while to check I was happy with the look and feel, before giving my approval for the final crowns. I’m so pleased I did this! It took away all the worry of the financial investment because I knew that the dentist had checked everything underneath was healthy and by living with my trial crowns for a while I knew I would still feel and look like me even with the improvements to my new crowns. It also gave me time to whiten my teeth and for my shade to settle before the lab-made my final crowns. I’m in my 60s so I was worried about whitening but actually, I look really fresh and healthy - and the whitened shade is very natural. I’d recommend VIDA to anyone thinking of making an investment in their teeth. They don’t rush you, they give you brilliant advice, and produce stunning and natural work. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now I’ve had this experience of first-class dentistry.

I saw hygienist Erica Costa Pinto. She understood my needs and was very gentle - probably one of the best hygiene treatments I've had. Thank you so much, Erica. Regards, Karen

I cannot praise the practice staff for the way they have to treat me and my wife. My wife has always been nervous about going to the dentist, but everyone in the practice made her feel welcome and calmed her nerves. As for myself, due to COVID and the fact that my previous dentists were a victim of the "lock-down" and ceased practising, left me in a lot of pain due to a bad wisdom tooth, but Dr V.J. Worked his magic and now I'm pain-free. Once again thank you all and stay safe.

I contacted this dental practice based on a recommendation from a neighbour. I had had an awful experience at another local practice and was somewhat hesitant about registering at a new practice. I have no regrets. From the first point of contact (by phone) to my first face-to-face contact with the receptionists, the whole way through to the dentist himself (Nick Ross), the experience was positive. What a wonderful chair-side manner Nick has. So professional. So kind. So able to help patients to feel calm. So clear in his explanations. If you are someone who is nervous about going to the dentist or embarrassed because you do not have perfect teeth, do not hesitate to register with this practice. It is a private clinic but it is worth every penny.

My teeth feel brilliant after seeing Viktor the Hygienist. I also had a dental check-up with Bob and Paul. They were both really professional and friendly. I have always used this dental practice and will continue to do so.

We moved to this practice has been at the previous one for 30 years. It was a recommendation and I have to say we have not been disappointed. The service is second to none. Friendly staff who make you feel like you are their only client. We signed up for a payment plan which is of excellent value. I have had three check-ups and three hygienist visits all have been excellently talked through and treatment explained. I felt like it was about me rather than about a business. Wonderful Practice.
