“Good morning! Just a quickie to let you know that so far, so good after my wisdom tooth extraction yesterday! 😉 Apologies for my wooziness – I’m feeling much better today & you didn’t hurt at all. It was just my imagination running away with me. Thank you for looking after me so well.” Michaela P, Twyford

“I called the practice as I had bad toothache. I was offered an appointment straight away. Everyone was very helpful and caring. I am Polish so it was very helpful as the nurse at the practice is fluent in Polish and she helped me talk to the dentist. Dr Qadeer was very good and I am very happy.” L Wozniak, Reading
“Great welcome, great treatment, good advice and easy to book appointments.”
“I went to this practice due to a terrible toothache which I had been struggling with for a couple of weeks and had a great experience. The staff and dentist were friendly, gentle and put me at ease. The whole process was quick and the cost was very reasonable.” Luke J, Reading
