I have attended Dovetails for approximately 11 years The experience has been so much better than my previous experience with NHS dentists.They have so much knowledge about implants and have the latest technology.Everyone is kind and reassuring.
I have been with you from day one and will continue to do so. You care for me and my teeth in a professional manner; however, the price for cleaning and upkeep maintenance has increased by a third in the last year, which is disappointing.
Had all on four implants 17 years now always had good service from Dovetail. Rob has done a great job with the maintenance of my teeth.
The team at Dovetail are very professional, proficient and experienced at providing expert dental services, especially implants.I would recommend Dovetail to anyone who is thinking of undergoing this treatment.
Started treatment at Dovetail Dental Solutions after much research. Rob Waine and staff are so welcoming and friendly. The work they carried out (4 on 1 ) upper implants, brilliantly done in one day no pain, looks fantastic.c Aftercare and advice were excellent. I have now decided four lower front teeth need replacing and have opted once again for implants If you are looking for a dental clinic for cosmetic treatment, I can strongly recommend Dovetail Dental Solutions
Excellent treatment as always, made to feel very relaxed, which is hard for me to do when visiting the dentist.Booking an appointment was quick and efficient.
As always,a very good experience at Dovetail.The staff are so pleasant and welcoming, it's like visiting friends.Rob, as usual very professional, but like a friend too.Explains everything in detail so you know exactly what is going on.It is 12 years since I started my treatment, which has been a great success...made my life better.Thank you to you all.
Initial consultation very friendly and informative.
Preparation prior to implants, cosmetically aesthetic fillings and a bridge Treatment still ongoing but very pleased up to now. Treatment plan, timescales and costs have been well explained. Cannot fault the attitude and patience of staff concerned
