Very impressed. David and the team were all so helpful and friendly. David explained everything he was doing during my visit, fascinating some of the equipment he uses and great taste in music also! I’ve had some awful experiences over the years with previous dentists but David has convinced me they’re not all bad

I attended Dr David Treagus for a UL1 Root Treatment. His approach was very thorough and he detailed and explained what he found on the initial xrays and his recommended course of treatment explaining the risks and benefits of each. His preparation of the root canal inspired confidence and the treatment was completed in three visits, the third to double check that all was well. Dr Treagus is a highly competent professional surgeon in my opinion and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I recently had quite a lot of treatment with Dr Tragus. Firstly I’d like to say how painless and easy the whole process was. Booking the appointment was easy, friendly staff and also every step of the way I got told exactly what was happening and why. I really didn’t dread coming in, I knew i was in great hands. Dr Tragus and the nurse were fantastic. Both put me at ease, especially considering the extent of the treatment. They answered all my questions, and I left feeling satisfied in an outcome I didn’t think was possible. To everyone at vermillion thank you.

He had a very frank discussion with me about sensitive topics, i.e. bruxism and recommending a gum shield!

Dr Treagus was welcoming, friendly, and highly professional. He took his time in explaining the procedure and also during the treatment. The experience was very good from start to finish, and it was clear he and Nurse Megan had an excellent working dynamic. It didn't feel like a dentist visit full of dread - Dr Treagus's approach and sense of humour made it somewhat enjoyable!
