I was so frightened of dentists that I avoided going for many years. Due to the care and support of the staff here, on a year I have gone from being someone who had to leave the room when anyone mentioned dentists or teeth, to someone who can actually attend appointments. The staff are kind and supportive, right from reception onwards. I’ve never had to wait for my appointment to start, which really helps if you’re nervous. They’re gentle, encouraging and patient. I’m so glad I found this practice.

Apologies for the long story, but it's a worthwhile read. At 9AM on Sunday 13th March I was due to jump in the car and drive down to get married after a 2 year COVID induced delay. At 4AM that morning a loud crack at my mouth woke me up, and to my horror I realised my bridge had fallen out and I now had a tooth sized gap in my smile. At 7AM, after 3 rather stressful hours I called the emergency number on Amsel & Wilkins answering machine which was immediately answered by Nigel. After explaining my emergency, Nigel told me to meet him at 8AM and he'd fix me right up. Nigel opened up the practice just for me, on a Sunday morning, and by 8.45AM I was walking back up Banbury High Street relaxed and stress-free (well as stress-free as you can be before your wedding) with all my teeth in my mouth - rather than in my pocket. By 4.30PM I was tucking into pork belly and crackling like nothing had happened. A huge thank you to Nigel from me and my new wife for saving my smile on our wedding day, as well as from our photographer who you saved from many, many hours of photoshop. Finally, my bestwoman thanks you for the additional story for her speech, one that received plenty of gasps and laughter. From a very appreciative patient for life.

A good experience, the dentist was very nice and explained everything well. The receptionist was very helpful as I am disabled and made me feel welcome.
