Fantastic experience: Trusted & Exceptional – For Nearly 25 Years and Counting When Rik Patel first checked my teeth nearly 25 years ago, I knew I’d found someone exceptional in their craft. Even back then, his calm, precise, and reassuring approach stood out, and when he took the helm at Clarence Dental Practice in Staines, my family and I had no hesitation in continuing our care with him, even though it meant travelling further. We've never once regretted it. Rik doesn’t just practice dentistry, he provides peace of mind. His check-ups are thorough, his treatments are smooth, and his chair-side manner is second to none. You feel like a person, not a procedure. His treatments have been the most comfortable I’ve ever received, and his advice is always clear, honest, and fair. The hygienists at Clarence are also gentle, professional, and incredibly thorough. Regular visits with them have helped prevent bigger issues further down the line. As a health professional myself, I deeply value the effort it takes to provide this level of care and consistency. The team Rik has built around him reflects those same values: warm, skilled, and truly patient-first. The practice itself is modern, welcoming, and run with integrity from front desk to dental chair. After nearly 25 years, I still trust him and the team completely—and that trust has only grown stronger. Thank you to the team at Clarence Dental Practice.

We really appreciate your feedback.

Fantastic experience: In the years since Rik took over at Clarence Dental, he has become a friend and not merely our dentist. As well as excellent treatment, we always get an update on the state of the mouth and which teeth look as if they will need treatment in the near to medium future. That we still come back to Rik, having moved away to Oxfordshire, says it all.
Dear Philip
Thank you for your very kind comments. We look forward to seeing you soon! Best wishes from the Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: Been going here for years, and first class all the way. Rik keeps you at ease and all staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Dear Mr Holton
Thank you for your kind feedback and five-star rating! We really appreciate it and look forward to welcoming you at your next appointment. Best wishes from The Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: Having not been to the dentist is way too long, and being very nervous of the process, Rik was patient and explained everything clearly. He made an initial assesment of set out a clear and affordable treatment plan. In the chair; I always felt that I was in safe hands and each process was explained rather than having someone root around in my mouth. I'm super happy with Rik and his team and whilst it's a 45min drive for me, it's one i'll continue to make!
Dear Grant-

Fantastic experience: If you’re like me, and have always been nervous and put off with going to the dentist. Then I couldn’t recommend Clarence dental practise enough… I actually travel from the other side of London just to come here. That’s how much they make me feel at ease. It’s a very stress free and calming experience, for a dentist appointment!!! The waiting room is homely, and the staff are so nice and welcoming. I would 100% recommend!! :-)

Fantastic experience: Hygiene appointment and Dental checkup: As always, received a warm greeting at reception. Hygienist: Ismael was thorough in my dental review and cleaning my teeth. He advised me on how to improve and maintain dental care. Dental check up with Dr. Rik: Dr. Rik is very friendly. He reviews previous treatments to see how the dental care is progressing. He would take the time to explain any concerns and treatment options available. I had a filling done which went smoothly. He has always been very professional and honest. Would highly recommend his practice.
Dear Mr Seehra,

Dear Irene– Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review! We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment. Best Wishes, Clarence Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Clarence Dental Practice is THE best dental practice I have had the pleasure to visit!!! My previous dental practice was all I knew so did not have anything to compare to. I was recommended Clarence Dental Practice by a friend. I booked my appointment and from the moment I walked in I was treated like I was a member of their family. The enthusiastic and friendly greeting at reception to then be shown into the clean, modern and comfortable waiting area. Prior to the appointment I was sent the registration forms as an option to complete before arrival to save time. This is a small touch but made the experience better so I did not have to spend time on a clip board. However, the real advantage was that Dr Patel had already reviewed by information and was able to spend the time on my appointment examining my mouth. The actual appointment was the most thorough examination I have ever had. Dr Patel spent time looking at every aspect of my teeth and general mouth health, utilizing modern technology and then spent time explaining and showing me he assessment conclusions. Dr Patel's knowledge and experience was really evident to the extent that it made me seriously question my previous Dental Practice, from the view that they were never that thorough and not that detailed in explaining the assessment to me. I had a follow-on appointment with the hygienist and again, the appointment was so thorough I came out with the feeling of having new teeth. The hygienist took the time to use a model of teeth and explain exactly how I should brush and then took the time to find me the correct type of flossing brushes. I have never really taken the health of my mouth seriously save from investing in an electric toothbrush and using mouth wash. After visiting Clarence Dental Practice I have found an enthusiasm and desire to do more to improve my mouth health. They are not just dental practitioners they are teachers who inspire you to do much better with the hygiene and health of your mouth. My advice to anyone reading this is to give Dr Patel and his team a try, I am absolutely confident that once you have this 5+++ service you will not go to any other Dental Practice. Thank you to Dr Patel and you team!!!!!
Dear Mr Jagpal – Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this amazing review! We really appreciate it and are so pleased to hear that you are happy with the level of care you receive at the practice. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment. Best wishes from The Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: From start to finish, the Clarence Dental Practice provides excellent patient care. Rik and his team are professional, and it shows in their work. The receptionists and nurses are friendly and welcoming, and the patients are well taken care of. Every appointment is sufficiently long so that patients do not feel rushed. Rik ensures that patients understand the treatment plan before they leave the room. Patients are given various treatment options as well as information on required treatment so that they can make an informed decision. The practice was clean, and the aesthetic has a very calm feeling, which adds to the patients' experience.Patients also do not have to wait months for an appointment. They approached the booking system in such a way that if a patient needs a hygienist appointment, it can be done on the same day, saving time and preventing the patient from having to return to the dentist on another day.
Dear Simone – Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review! We are so pleased that you are happy with the level of care you receive as one of our patients. I will pass on your kind words to Dr Patel. Best Wishes, Clarence Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: To book an appointment with Clarence Dental Practice was the best decision. All my concerns and issues have been sorted. Some sensitiveness of my teeth, old darkened fillings and front chipped teeth do not bother me anymore. Thanks to Rikesh and his wonderful team. All the attention, care and respect made this treatment very comfortable and easy. This is my best experience I’ve had with dentists. I would highly recommend this friendly and professional team. All the best to the Clarence Dental Practice!
Dear Sonata – Thank you for leaving this wonderful review! We are so pleased to hear that you are happy with the level of care provided at the practice and we will pass on your kind words to Dr Patel. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.

Dear Helen - Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! We really appreciate it and look forward to seeing you at your next appointment. Best wishes from the Clarence Dental Practice Team!
Fantastic experience: I used to be absolutely petrified of going the dentist until I started going to see Rik. He is the only dentist to put me at ease right from day one and has continued throughout the last 17 years as being his patient! Rik has looked after my teeth with his continuous care and attention. He's always looking for solutions before they become a problem, so his work is primarily preventative, foreseeing potential issues, working on the best way forward to ensure good dental health and maintenance. He explains everything with clarity and precision and always ensures I completely understand his processes which are always pain and anxious free. If I could give more stars I would as I cannot recommend Rik (Clarence Dental) highly enough!
Dear Alison- thank you so much for your lovely words. We are delighted to hear of your positive experiences over the years and very much look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes from the Clarence Dental Practice Team!

Fantastic experience: Whilst not being a big fan of the dentist generally, I can say that Rik and his team make the experience as easy (painless!) as possible; from automated booking reminders, a friendly "hello" at reception, an excellent "chair-side" manner - and even post-visit follow-up calls to check that all has gone well. In an age of poor customer service, this is one of the best I've had in recent years.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review Peter. It means a great deal to us to hear you feel this way about your experience at the practice. We will pass on your kind words to Rik. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes from the team at Clarence Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: It's actually hard to find a dental practice where you are treated with compassion and respect but this practice definitely offers the best of service.

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Kunal at Clarence Dental Practice for Invisalign, whitening and composite bonding. I am so pleased with the outcome, my new teeth are perfect and even better than I could have hoped for! The whole process was straightforward and made easier by the great team of staff, all extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone considering this line of treatment visiting Clarence Dental Practice.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Clarence my whole life as I know they will always provide such high quality work and expert advice. Hygienist cleaning is always very thorough and with a relaxed atmosphere. Rik is an incredibly skilled dentist and has redone several of my older fillings to a remarkable standard and with immaculate restoration of the tooth's surface. The time and care taken over all his work is second to none.
Thank you so much Jack for such welcoming feedback. We will pass on your compliments to the whole team and continue to maintain that quality of care for our valued patients.
Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been patients of Clarence Dental Practice for nearly 30 years and, although we live a distance away, choose to stay as patients of the practice for the excellent dentistry we receive.

Fantastic experience: Dr Rikesh Patel is an exceptionally talented dental surgeon with a kind heart and gentle hands. I was in severe neuralgic pain from infection under a crown fitted by another dentist. He dealt with it swiftly and efficiently. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.
Thank you very much for leaving us this wonderful review Mr Desai. We are pleased to see you are happy with the level of care provided at the practice and we will pass on your kind words to Dr Patel. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: Rik and his team at Clarence Dental Practice are amazing! I have been going to Rik for treatment for close to 20 years and my children also get looked after by Rik now, As a very nervous patient i avoided going to the dentist however this changed once i registered with Rik because he takes great care of me before, during and after treatment. I would highly recommend Clarence Dental Practice!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Rik for dental treatment for over 15 years. Rik and his team at Clarence Dental Practice always take great care of me making my visit a calming experience. They always call a day or two later after treatment to ask how i'm doing which is great aftercare. I would highly recommend Clarence Dental Practice!
Many thanks for the great review Steve. We are so pleased to hear that you have been happy with the care and service over the last 15 years. We always look forward to seeing you, best wishes from Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: I have been supported by this practice for many years. I was terrified of dentists for so long before and the support of the staff at Clarence Dental Practice have not only reversed those fears but have made me confident to preserve the health of my teeth. As well as support they have guided and taught me how to best look after my oral health.
Many thanks for your kind words Adam. Our ethos has always been to help and guide our patients to overcome their fear of dentists and we are delighted to hear such lovely feedback! We look forward to welcoming you back, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: Well where do I begin! I have been seeing Dr Rik for many many years ever since I first met him at his old practice. He is the one dentist who helped me overcome my fear of dentists. He is at the top of his game and has the safest pair of hands you could ask for. Well done to you and the entire team.
Thank you very much for leaving us such a fantastic review, Anita. We're so happy to see Dr Rik could help you overcome your fear of dentists. We will pass on your kind words to Dr Rik and his team. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Clarence Dental Practice for a number of years (over 30 years now!) and have seen many changes in that time. In my opinion, Rik has successfully taken over the baton from Gary (who built up the practice all those years ago) and Rik and his team have definitely projected it into the 21st Century. The interior is clean and modern with a "wow" factor that wouldn't look out of place in Harley street.... but is in Staines! Nobody likes visiting the dentist, but the whole team go out of their way to ensure you are listened to and made to feel comfortable and safe. The whole atmosphere is warm, friendly and welcoming and Rik's sense of humour ensures you are smiling throughout the whole experience. If you are looking for a new dentist, then based on my experience, I would definitely recommend Clarence Dental Practice. I have referred colleagues in the past and will continue to do so. Good luck!
Many thanks for leaving such a wonderful review Yvonne. It means a great deal to us to hear you feel this way about the team and practice and we thank you for your continual support. Best wishes and we look forward to seeing you soon, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: Afraid of dentists? Well, guess what I found the correct one. Dr.Rik the most gentle, experienced and very knowledgeable dentist ever. I have known Dr.Rik for the last 3 years when a friend recommended him very strongly. Starting from the reception at the dental office to all his staff who also where very helpful. Dr. Rik listened with care and patience to all my teething problems. Dr. Rik also gave me a smile that I am proud of to show off everyday. The imacculate work he did on my denture implants and other major work was outstanding. A truly amazing Dr.Rik.
Many thanks for your very kind words Pallavika. Its always so nice to receive and we are glad that we could be of service to you. We will pass your lovely feedback on to the team. Looking forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient with Rik for about nine years .No other dentist has ever taken so much care and attention over my teeth and gums . He has always made me feel not just as one of many but as an individual. He and his team are exceptional!
Thank you for your lovely feedback Mrs Fairhead. Your kind words will be passed onto Rik and the team. It means a great deal to us that our patients feel like this. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes from all at Clarence Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Having been a patient with Clarence Dental Practice for over 30 years I was so greatly concerned when the practice changed hands. However, my worries were unfounded as there couldn’t have been a better person to follow on from Gary. Rik is an amazing dentist who has genuine concern for his patients and the treatment is first class. The hygienist and the dental nurse are lovely and very efficient and the reception staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The newly refurbished surgery is completely pristine from the reception area, the waiting room and two treatment rooms. 3 years ago I moved to Lincolnshire but remained with the practice. I have been asked several times why I travel so far for my dental treatment and my answer is simple: When you are with the best, why change it?
Thank you so much for leaving us such a wonderful review Mrs Scott. We are happy to see you feel this way about the practice. It's always a pleasure looking after you. I will pass on your kind words to Rik and his team. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.

Fantastic experience: My wife ( Patricia Roberts ) recently had a full top denture made with the Clarence Dental Practice. She was absolutely delighted with the whole procedure from start to finish. Rick, and his team took great care to ensure that everything went well. It fits perfectly, and the teeth are very natural looking. She highly recommends this practice for any dental treatment required.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review Mr and Mrs Roberts, it is greatly appreciated! We are so pleased to see Mrs Roberts is happy with her new denture and the care received at our practice. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: This is a lovely calm, relaxed, modern practice and Rick and his team are always very professional and caring.

Positive experience: Care from all staff was excellent. The one draw back is the steep staircase up to the surgery. Hopefully my knees will cope for the time being!
Thank you for your kind words and continual support over the years Mrs Ash. It is always a pleasure taking care of you. Although we can't change the infrastructure, we understand that our stairs are slightly steep but we do really appreciate you coming to see us still and we certainly hope to be welcoming you again. Our staff will gladly give you a hand next time you come in. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for many years and the treatment and service is excellent.
Many thanks for your kind feedback Mr Millar. It is always great to see you. Stay safe and best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: Great experience at Clarence Dental Practice as always. Rick is a great dentist; Aggie the perfect hygienist. The entire team are very welcoming, especially Marloose from Antwerp. Well worth the two-hour drive every six months!
Thank you for your lovely feedback Peter. We are delighted to see you had a great experience at our practice. It is always a pleasure taking care of you and Debra. I will pass on your kind words to the team. We look forward to seeing you both again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: I was a new patient at Clarence Dental. Everyone in the surgery was so professional and helpful. Dr Rik was knowledgeable and very informative. The entire surgery was very up-to-date with modern equipment and it has such a friendly environment. You can tell Dr Rik really loves what he does. I had a great experience and will be coming back regularly, especially as the treatment cost a lot less than my previous dentist quoted. They only recommended treatment if I genuinely need it which was very reassuring.
Thank you for leaving us this lovely review Rajiv. We are happy to see you have had such a great experience with us. We will pass on your kind words to Dr Rik Patel and his team. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended I’ve been a patient at Clarence Dental Practice for several years. My treatment and associated advice has always been first class. The Practice is run very efficiently, Covid measures are excellent. I cannot fault Clarence Dental Practice in any way.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review Mrs Luck, it is greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: I have been a client of the Clarence Dental Practice my whole life and would recommend Dr Rik highly. I was a patient of the previous owners and even though I have moved away from the area I still travel back for my appointments as I always receive fantastic treatment. All members of the team are friendly and welcoming. The Practice has recently been refurbished giving a fresh and modern feel which suits as Dr Rik seems to use up to date, modern treatment processes. I feel like my teeth are in very good hands!
Thank you for your continual trust and support Sophie. We are so pleased you feel this way about the practice and the treatment we provide. It is always a pleasure looking after you. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at this practice for 30+ years. I would definitely recommend this practice to anybody. The staff are all very friendly and put you at ease on every visit. The facilities are excellent, the treatment rooms along with the reception and waiting room are bright and inviting. The dental care and work carried out is done to a very high standard.
Thank you very much for your continual support over the years and this wonderful review Mr Goldsmith. It is very much appreciated! I will pass on your kind words to Dr Patel and his team.
We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Dr Patel last year for some dental work, and was pleasantly surprised at the level of professionalism and care I received. I was over the moon with the end results and cannot recommended Clarence Dental, and their team enough. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to leave is this wonderful feedback and recommendation Amish. We are so pleased that you have felt this way and will pass on your compliments to Dr Patel and the team. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: Everything was carried out in a very professional manner and care. Rik was very gentle and let me know what what happening throughout my treatment. The staff were very helpful, friendly and professional and also the hygiene was impeccable - with both my dentist and nurse wearing full PPE which included a bespoke fitted mask that looked like a modern version gas mask from WW2 - so it must have been quite uncomfortable for them to wear but was appreciated and made me feel very safe. I would definitely recommend Clarence Dental practice
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Dawn. We will pass on your compliments to the team! Stay safe and best wishes from Clarence Dental Practice
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to visit Clarence Dental Practice by a work colleague, as I was in severe pain and my normal dentist was not able to help. I was immediately put at ease from the initial call to their reception staff member when booking in. I'm not local to the practice but it was well worth the journey to see them. I saw Dr Patel and came away with no pain nor discomfort at all. I felt so relaxed in the chair and he was so calm throughout the I almost fell asleep in the chair. He ended up doing much more work and didn't charge me anything extra. When I offered to pay them for the extra time, he said not to worry about it. I really wish I had found this practice when I was younger and now my entire family have joined. The whole set up, the way they look after their patients (before and after care) is exemplary. I cannot wait for my Invisalign treatment to start now!
Thank you so much for your lovely review Natacha. We really appreciate such feedback and it means a lot to us that you feel this way about the practice and care we offer. We will pass on your kind words to Dr Patel and the team. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Positive experience: I have had a great experience with Clarence Dental Practice despite having really bad teeth, every-time something is wrong they do there best to fix the problem and am seen straight away. It's clean and hygienic. Everything is numb before any treatments and they always use WHITE fillings. The only thing I would say that could maybe be improved is that is more on the expensive side compared to other private practices. I would highly recommend this dentist for any treatments and as well as your standard check ups!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your kind feedback Christina. We do review our fees regularly in order to keep them as competitive as possible, to match the level of care we like to provide. It is always a pleasure to see you and we are glad to hear you are happy with the quality of care we strive to provide. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review Geoff. We will pass on your kind words to Dr Patel and the team. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: I have been using clarence dental practice for over 30 years, I would not go anywhere else, they make you feel so at ease and are so friendly and also always get a follow up call to make sure everything is ok. I took a very nervous grandson to see Rik, was expecting a massive meltdown, within literally 2 mins Rik had him sitting in the chair with his mouth open you cant get any better than that.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and continual support over the years Wendy. We are pleased to see you are happy with the level of patient care we provide. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: This practice makes going to the dentist completely concern free. Incredibly proffessional, reassuring and welcoming. The treatment is always done with the upmost care. My husband, myself, and very young son all come here with fantastic results. My son was incredibly nervous his first visit, however after a few minutes chatting with the dentist he was in the chair, totally at ease. Couldn't recommend more! Please dont look any further, you've found a fantastic dental team. From the delightful reception team to the dentist and hygiene nurses x

Fantastic experience: I have never felt so comfortable at a dentist. The care taken is beyond belief. Always have time for you and to discuss what will be happening and why. Highest professional service and very hygienic and clean. Rik and his team should be proud of what they have built up and all the staff at reception and Hygenist are friendly and consistent in their level of service.

Fantastic experience: Dr Rik Patel and his team are truly wonderful and very helpful. The care that they show towards my father who is a 73year old man is like no other. My father has had several dental issue over the years, but over the last year he has started going to Clarence Dental Practice. They explain the procedure they are going to carry out in detail to give him comfort in what they are doing. The team do a great job in following up on his aftercare and help him to manage his appointment. I can not recommend this dental practice enough
We would like to thank you for taking the time in giving such a positive review and your recommendation of the practice Ushma. It is our aim to provide the very best service and dental care and we are so pleased that you felt this way about your dad's experience. Best wishes to you and Mr Patel, Clarence Dental Practice
Fantastic experience: Myself and family have been visiting The Clarence Dental Surgery for over 25 years. I was such a nervous patient when I stepped through the door but was made to feel at ease straight away! Times change and Gary and Judith Painter took a well deserved retirement and handed the surgery to Rik. I can honestly say the staff from the ladies at the reception to to the dental nurse/ hygienist and of course Rik are reassuring and professional in their field. The surgery has been updated and looks great and very hi tech but the main thing for myself and the family we have no fear of going to the dentist and feel in safe hands with Rik. I wish the Clarence Dental Practice all the best for the future, they certainly deserve it
Thank you so much for your continual support and lovely comments Pauline. We are delighted that you have felt this way and we will strive to be at the forefront of all aspects of dental care and service to our patients. It is always a pleasure to look after you. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: Have always found the practice very caring and understanding. They are always up front with anything that they are going to. I had a crown fitted cause I broke a tooth, I was very nervous about having it done but made me feel comfortable and even rung me the next after having it done to make sure that I was fine. I never had this treatment with an NHS one.
Thank you for your kind words Jane. It means a lot to us to know that you have had a positive and comfortable experience with us. It is always a pleasure to see you. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Clarence Dental Practice for many years and have always received treatment of the highest standard. Dr Rik always takes time to fully explain proposed treatment procedures in great detail, immediately putting you at ease and all dental work he has carried out for me has been excellent. I have much confidence in Dr Rik and would not hesitate to recommend Clarence Dental Practice to my friends. 5*

Fantastic experience: Dr Rik Patel is the best dentist I’ve ever had. His dedication and passion for his work is unsurpassed. He fully explains the procedures he’s going to do and answers all my questions patiently. He understands my anxieties and doesn’t play them down. And he’s done the most fabulous job on my teeth and gums. Ever!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Clarence Dental Practice for over forty years and have been receiving treatment from Ric ever since he took over the practice. I would like to recommend this dental surgery as I have found the treatment thorough and modern with great aftercare. The surgery has recently been refreshed and is clean, light and airy. COVID policy is adhered to. Looking forward to my next visit! :-))
Thank you very much for your trust and continuous support over the years Gary. Your wonderful review and recommendation is very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit. Best wishes, Clarence Dental Practice Team.
Fantastic experience: I had a scooter accident at the start of March 2020 where I’d broken my jaw. My jaw had healed. But I was left with some chipped teeth, and glue residue from where the brackets were attached. I tried to make an appointment with my usual dentist, but they were not accepting any appointments due to COVID-19. I decided to give Clarence Dental Practice a call - it was a great decision! They were able to book me for an initial consultation within a few days, and complete treatment within 2 weeks. I am very pleased with the quality of work. My chipped teeth are repaired, the colour of the fillings is perfect. The glue has been removed completely, and my smile is fantastic now! I love it! The team really made me feel at home and at ease. I must stress that the dentist chair is extremely comfortable - so much so, that I was falling asleep while Dr Patel was working on my teeth! I am impressed with how professional the team are. Dr Patel explained in detail, what was being done and made sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. From the appointment booking to reception greeting, to the treatment and aftercare. All was perfect and I would highly recommend it!
