What a lovely dentist I saw (Bali) it was an emergency appointment, explained everything and they were all so thoughtful. Thank you 😊

Recent appointment
I wasn't expecting the new machine and technique that was used this time and wasn’t sure it was the hygenist that I was expecting. This left me feeling a bit anxious and uncertain. The machine broke down early on and something had to be replaced. This was done fairly swiftly but we were already running late. I found the air and water under pressure hurt a bit like breathing very cold air on a cold day. Something tasted bitter and unpleasant – the dye? The inside of my cheek in one place was uncomfortable for 24 hours afterwards as if it had been scratched or caught although I couldn’t see anything. The appointment seemed longer than usual over half an hour and I find it quite uncomfortable lying for a long time on my back. I am also concerned that the fee has gone up from £66 in September to £77 in March. I thought that the extra charges for covid precautions were already in place back in September and I am not aware of having been clearly notified of what is more than a 10% increase in charge. Apologies if I have missed a communication somewhere. I think greater clarity on increases in charges would be helpful. The staff were very pleasant and helpful but I wouldn't rate it as the best experience I have had at Confidental, where I have had excellent service in the past.

Thank you for your honest feedback from your last visit, it helps us improve. The new machines we are using help to pressure wash your teeth and gums – this helps get the antibacterial (bicarbonate based powder) into all areas of your teeth and gums, its most likely that the powder we used was lemon flavoured which explains the taste.
After using the pressure washer its anticipated that some areas will feel a little sore due to the pressure washing nature of the treatment.
We have had to increase our fees due to increased operating costs following Covid, we have added this information to our reminder e mails and also sent out information about this when the fees were changed, sorry you have missed this.
In the future we would like to take care of you the best way possible – if you have a preference on hygienist please let us know and we will always try and book you in with those clinicians. If you would like a quick break during treatment we can accommodate this as well. Regarding the new machine please let us know if you prefer the traditional approach we will always accommodate.
Hope this helps address your concerns and feedback, please don’t hesitate to get in touch again if desired.

I can not complain at all. Very happy with the service i have received. Right from the beginning when i was just enquiring about having braces to the very end. I have always been treated well and felt like a valued customer.
I am so pleased with the final result and highly recommend this dental surgery.

Hygienist appointment
As I’ve come to expect from the Confidental team, they were welcoming and organised. The surgery has always been clean and tidy, but it also feels safe, with all of the COVID protocols they have introduced.

Hygiene appointment
This was an excellent experience : from initial explanation of what would be done, to the end result of beautiful clean feeling teeth. No pain, no discomfort. It was only later at home that I looked in the mirror and was delighted to see how lovely and shiny my teeth.

Review from Google
Lucy is an excellent Hygienist, who clarifies exactly what she is doing, what the issues are and what corrective action is required.
My only concern is the escalating cost, which has increased by over 20% across the last two years. I know PPE is a major factor here but the charge of £77 for 30 minutes does seem somewhat high.

Thanks for the lovely review David, glad you trust us to take care of you.
The increase in price is to match higher operating costs, and increases in prices of materials with Covid and Brexit. To ensure the same level of high quality, we have had to raise the price.
New Crown fitted
I was so impressed with my appointment of New crown fitted while you wait and all the time it took to do the crown was one hour and forty minutes from start to finish. Excellent quality product and craftmanship using High tech equipment.
