“I wouldn’t smile. My confidence was just nil, absolutely nil. I had a denture in place. I teach fitness, and one day it came out when I was teaching and that was the end of the road. So I decided that something had to be done. And I did a lot of research and came across Darwood and Tanner, and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ve got confidence, I smile, I go out, I haven’t got to worry about anything and it’s just the best thing ever, worth every single penny.”

“But I can honestly say that although it was quite daunting, with the information and also the way I was taken care of when I was here, and it was quite major surgery, it was actually a lot easier than I expected it to be.”

“It’s a fundamental change, I smile and feel natural and not inhibited in any way. It seemed to be pretty painless and I couldn’t believe it was all over in one day, you know, to have the treatment and the fittings in one and the same day was remarkable I thought.”

“I know it might sound trite, but it has been life changing. It really has. I do not regret having it done at all. Not one moment’s regret. That was twelve years ago, and I’m still here.”

“One minute you’ve got a denture and the next minute you’ve got what feels like real teeth. Because the implants are into your jaw and the way the treatment is done, it just feels like my real teeth. I’m just so happy with it.”

“The Darwood and Tanner team to my mind, are the most professional group of dentists I have ever, ever met, and I have met some in my life in various different walks of life, from hospitals through to practices. The whole approach is really quite remarkable, and it makes you feel extremely relaxed and comfortable in their, in their presence. I would recommend Darwood and Tanner to everyone.”

“I had a huge phobia growing up…So for me, dentists was just not a place I really wanted to go…..The practice as a whole was amazing…..I had the same team with me, and that’s really important. That made it so much better. There’s no other way to describe it. It just was life-changing.”

“When we came the first time, we met Andrew and Susan, and they were excellent. They put us at our ease. They were so professional and nice people. So I felt quite relaxed about Andrew doing the surgery…..A plan was given to us, the costing was given to us. We had options….So I really would say that it’s been a good experience. You almost feel as if you’re going to see friends. You don’t feel ever that you’re coming to the dentist.”

“Andrew was fantastic in the consultation. It just made me feel so good about everything….he said, “Susan will be designing the smile if you decide to go ahead.” …She does it to absolute perfection, and it’s that attention to detail, that precision, you know. I think that and the teamwork and the friendliness of everybody, and putting all that together, it’s worth every penny.”

“I had implants top and bottom, and I’ve come back to the hygienist every three or four months over the years. So really it’s become like a second family here. I know everybody here. Everybody’s so friendly and if I’ve ever had a problem, which I have done, … I’ve rung up and they see me straight away…So I’ve got nothing but praise for this practice.”
