Beautiful clinic with a very relaxing atmosphere. Gorgeous design and lovely team! Chris was very thorough and knowledgeable and I enjoyed my visit :)
My appointment was on time and very efficient. All staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Chris has been looking after my teeth for a number of years and has “installed “ all of my implants. Despite the fact that I am scared to death, he instils confidence and tells you what he is doing as he goes along and is not skinny with the pain killer jabs !! I intend to keep coming back.
A Fantastic Dental Experience I recently had a guided Bio Film Therapy treatment, and I honestly couldn’t have been more impressed. From the moment I walked in, it didn’t feel like a traditional dentist at all — the whole place felt more like a luxury health spa. The treatment itself was exceptional. The guided Bio Film Therapy was explained clearly and carried out in such a calm, gentle and professional way. I felt completely relaxed throughout, and it was great to have the focus on prevention and overall oral health rather than simply treating problems when they arise. The surroundings, atmosphere and attention to detail really made the experience stand out. It’s a refreshing approach to dentistry and one that makes you actually look forward to going back! Five stars from me — a genuinely first-class dental experience. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Normally very scared when I have to visit the dentist. I did not need to worry as Ashley checked and treated my teeth without any pain. Very professional and looking forward to the next appointment. Also, the coffee was great, the practice spotless and it was a very relaxing environment.
I had a very good experience at Chapter One Dental Clinic. The staff were friendly and made me feel comfortable from the start. Chris did my implant placement, and everything went smoothly. He explained the procedure in a simple way, which helped me feel relaxed. I’m very happy with the result — the implant looks natural and feels great. I would definitely recommend this clinic to others.
My visit was comfortable from start to finish , the building , decor and ambiance was amazing considering it is a dental practice , staff couldn’t be any more helpful and pleasant , offering water on arrival , I had very extensive treatment ( in my opinion as a nervous patient ) and it was all done in the one day , Chris communicated through out and also took the time to stop at times to see if I was ok , I’m back in a couple of weeks and instead of being anxious I’m looking forward to it ( I didn’t think those words would come out my mouth ) re a dental appointment , Time was taken from the first consultation through treatment to explain in clear detail what my dental plan was and I’m very happy with my experience
Dr Chris fitted my Four on Four set of implants. I am a nervous patient and have had distressing experiences at the dentist in the past. Chris was extremely supportive with all of my appointments and managed to calm my nerves. Dr Ashley had previously treated me for an emergency appointment when I had sudden toothache. She has a very calm manner and was really reassuring. The practice is beautiful - spotlessly clean and very nicely decorated. Although I don’t drink coffee my husband really appreciated the delicious brew! I also love the Community library box. A nice thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend the practice to anyone looking for a reassuring experience and excellent treatment.
Really welcoming and relaxing enviroment, great treatment and didn't feel anxious in the dental surgery. Ashley and dental assistant so skilled and found the chair and feel of the room helped me feel not stressed.
