Gentle and Caring Dentist

As always Charlotte is very gentle and caring excellent dentist. Highly recommended

Veronica Watson

Gentle Hygiene Treatment

Lauren the hygienist is excellent. Having hated hygienists for years due to them being so rough I have avoided them. I have to say Lauren completely changed my opinion. I highly recommend Lauren if you need a dental hygienist.

No judgment dentistry – This is a safe space

I was so nervous when I contacted winning smiles as I had not seen a dentist for some time and knew my gums were a mess and my bottom 2 teeth were very loose. Denise contacted me the following day, she was so kind and sympathetic as I was so nervous about seeing the dentist.
I did not want to be judged for having not had any treatment for so long. Denise reassured me that my consultation with Andrew Fennell would be judgemental free and very professional. I booked to see Andrew a few weeks later and from that day all I can say is that I have never looked back.
Before my implant treatment, I have had several intense treatments for my gum disease with Anita Sarkadi.
Anita has been amazing, treating my gum disease over several months and there has now been a vast improvement in my gum health.
Andrew and Sam – what can I say -over several months I have had treatment for dental implants for my bottom two teeth.
The treatment was almost painless as advertised and knowing how scared I was this was a blessing.
I can not thank you both for your patience, and the professionalism and kindness that you showed to me.
I now have the confidence to smile again!
Thank You.

I’m incredibly grateful to them.

I had advanced gum disease and missing/ failing teeth. The worse they got the harder it was to fix. I was so terrified of both the dentist and of being judged for allowing things to get so bad that I couldn’t even phone. In a brave moment, I filled in the contact section of the Winning Smiles website. Denise phoned me the following day. She listened, was sympathetic and booked me in for a consultation with Andrew. At our first meeting, I had scans and Andrew explained what treatments I was suitable for. I was given detailed costs of my options and I left to consider them without pressure. I opted for both upper and lower implants. Andrew explained my best chance of a good outcome was to have immediate fixed teeth on the bottom and a temporary denture at the top while my bone grafts/implants healed and integrated. The surgery was a long day but at no point was I in any pain or discomfort. Andrew and his dental nurse Sam checked on me constantly and reassured me throughout. I left with fixed lower teeth and a temporary upper denture. The next day I was slightly swollen but much better than I had expected which I told Andrew when he phoned to check on me. The remainder of my treatment was done over the following few months without pain or stress. Fast forward to today when I had my first check-up since my upper teeth were fitted. I can’t describe how thrilled I am with the final results. I smile without thinking about it, eat what I want and my general health has greatly improved. My new teeth look amazing but very natural which was exactly the look I wanted. I’m no longer terrified of the dentist and happily attend my checkups/hygiene appointments. My treatment was fantastic from start to finish and I can’t recommend Andrew, Sam and the team more highly. I really wish I’d found them sooner. This has really been a life-changing experience and I’m incredibly grateful to them.

This review is a long time coming but something I keep meaning to do.

Andrew is a star. I had my top implants done must be nearly 2 years ago.

Like most I had a phobia for dentistry but I was left with little choice as my gums were receding and my top teeth were falling out. It was going to be false teeth or implants .

Implants it was. Of course, I was terrified having all my teeth taken out. I also had to undergo a bone graft so I was in it for the long haul.

It was the best decision I ever made. Honestly, it’s not as bad as you might think. The team make you comfortable and they go above and beyond to make this scary process worth the wait. My teeth look amazing.

2 years on Andrew has become my trusted friend and when you are having such major work done that is the relationship you want.

The whole team at Winning Smiles are first class. Thank you all for everything your kindness and hard work and of course putting up with me.

Would I recommend it… it goes without question. If you choose to have implants Andrew is defo the best.

My first consultation at the surgery, was with Andrew Fennell.
We discussed my concerns and worries; he explained all options and suggested, what he considered was best for me.
My treatment was completed in June. I had six porcelain crowns fitted, which truly gave me a “Winning Smile”. Andrew and his team were brilliant.
I cannot thank him enough.. I would highly recommend Andrew, his team, and all at Winning Smiles Dental Surgery!

Jennifer Collins

embarrassed to laugh and smile

I have recently had teeth implants on my upper jaw and I am so pleased with the results!!! Andrew is amazing and made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole procedure.. Which I can say was painless 🙂

My dental nurse Sam was so lovely too as were all the staff!! I have always been so embarrassed to laugh and smile and now thanks to Winning Smiles and Andrew I have the confidence to be myself and not hide my mouth… Thank you so much xx

I forget that I have implants

After an accident which resulted in losing some of my upper teeth I had dentures made by a previous dentist which I hated.

I wanted my teeth to look and feel natural without having to glue them in every morning and remove them at night. I decided to visit Winning Smiles for a consultation regarding implants. Andrew advised and explained everything and provided a detailed breakdown of the costs.

I was happy to go ahead and am so pleased that I plucked up the courage to have the implants fitted. Andrew is very skilled, he and his team are totally professional and put you at ease. Nothing is too much trouble and I can’t thank them enough. I have had no pain whatsoever, I can eat and talk normally now, in fact I forget that I have implants as they just feel and look like natural teeth, and the best thing ever is that I no longer have to remove my dentures every night!

Andrew was absolutely amazing

I went to Andrew Fennell with many problems
Crowns needing replacing
And needing many implants
Straight away I was put on a step by step plan of action
Visiting hygienist
Teeth whitening for readiness of implants and new crowns
Andrew was absolutely amazing all way through procedures
And I’m glad to say that my work was completed after a long journey and I’m delighted
I can smile and laugh again instead of hiding my teeth

He is Fantastic
And so are all staff
So friendly and kind

Tuesday I went back to Andrew for a check and I ended up having a wisdom tooth out there and then so I wouldn’t encounter a further problem
Thank you Andrew
Thoroughly recommend this dentist

Jamie is an artist

I would recommend this practice for their professionalism and Jamie is an artist.

The work involved to close two gaps in my teeth has exceeded all expectations. Thank you Jamie and the staff at Winning Smiles

I now have a winning smile

After breaking my front lateral incisor, from eating some crusty bread, I visited my own dentist, who suggested a consultation with a private dentist who specialised in the provision of implants.

Winning Smiles were recommended to me and I arranged for a consultation with Dr. Andrew Fennell. Andrew was very professional and advised me of the procedure for an implant, including the costs. I found Andrew and all his staff to be very friendly, helpful and Covid secure on every visit throughout the procedure. I am very pleased with the result and true to say I now have a Winning Smile.

Fixed a bad composite job

Jamie fixed a bad composite bonding job on my front tooth and he did a FANTASTIC job. Really pleased I came here. Both him and the nurse were friendly and helpful and took an interest in the work being done. FAB 🙂

John Smith

Totally pain free new veneers

After my son Jamie had his top composite veneers done I booked to have my top ones done . As a very nervous patient who would normally be sedated I sat for numerous hours while Jamie and Racheal fitted my new composite veneers .

They made me feel totally at ease and totally pain free my new veneers look amazing so much so I’m having the bottoms ones done . Thankyou so much to you both your the best and I now have a winning smile

Without reservation, recommending Winning Smiles

I had several upper crowns and a bridge fitted 15-20 years. ago. I thought my teeth could look better.

From my first visit, this was the practice for me and I didn’t even consider looking elsewhere. Everyone was so friendly and efficient.

I first saw Alex and subsequently Andrew. Due to medication, implants are not a recommended option for me.

Andrew has replaced my crowns, added a couple more and replaced the bridge. He suggested the new be a tiny fraction longer than the old ones, saying to see more teeth when I spoke and smiled would be a nicer look – of course, he is right!

Throughout the whole process, Andrew was patient, informative and explained everything.

He happily answered all my questions even the ones I knew were quite trivial. I was expecting some pain but there was absolutely none even at my 5 hour+ appointment! Anyway, I already trusted Andrew to know he would not have let me suffer any pain.

I am so happy with what Andrew has achieved. I feel he does everything possible to give the best smile possible by telling his patients what he can do but equally important what he can’t do.
Alex did some cosmetic fillings and arranged some bleaching which has made a big difference to my (own) bottom teeth. This and everything Andrew has done leaves me, without reservation, recommending Winning Smiles. Thank you!

Painless Procedure

I was recommended Winning Smiles by a friend of mine after a previous bad experience with another dentist. I met Andrew for a consultation at the end of may and knew instantly he was a very decent human being but more importantly a very good dentist. During my initial appointment he explained both thoroughly and simply every stage of my treatment. Now just four months later I have a full set of upper jaw implants and two single implants on my lower jaw. I just cannot emphasis the improvement in my appearance and ability to eat everything. Finally I just want to stress how painless the whole procedure was and have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and all the other helpful members of staff.  Thanks for everything

Fantastic Job

Having put up with my dodgy teeth for a long time I decided to have a chat winning smiles .

I met Jamie who advised me on the best treatment for me . Very professional , had all the answers and did a fantastic job. 2 new crowns and filled a gap where I had a tooth removed years ago. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend these guys. Very professional and friendly . The only pain was the price but that’s the going rate for this kind of work. Thanks

Duane Gibbens

Second Implant Fitted

When my dentist suggested a tooth needed to be removed and I should consider an implant ….. I was slightly horrified. Thankfully his recommendation was Andrew and his amazing team at ‘Winning Smiles’. From the lovely Denise on reception through to Andrew the team were professional and reassuring. Today I had my second implant / tooth fitted. I feel amazing and became overwhelmed as I thanked Andrew tonight.

This investment in your smile is worth every penny and I’m just beyond thankful I didn’t go anywhere else. Thanks, everyone. Have a well earned holiday Andrew. See you all in 6 months 😀

Astounded By Level of Care

I left the RAF about 14 years ago and never got round to signing-up with a civilian dentist. About a year ago an upper front crown came loose so I had to get it sorted out. For many years “getting my teeth done” had been on my bucket list and I decided it was finally time to (carefully) bite the bullet. I drive a taxi for a living and Winning Smiles was recommended to me by a random customer – who had a perfect smile. I only met the guy that one time and wish I could track him down to thank him.

Anyway, I booked myself in for a check up and that’s where my journey began. Since then I’ve had loads of work done – including fillings, crowns, root canal work, a bone graft, removal of a cyst, extraction of a wisdom tooth, bleaching and an implant.

Having spent 30 years being treated by military dentists I’m astounded by the level of care and professionalism of the Winning Smiles team. The receptionists are brilliant – super efficient, friendly and always smiling – and they do all have fabulous smiles! As for Charlotte, Jamie, Lauren and head honcho Andrew – wow, all outstanding and extremely good at what they do. Doctor Fennel is a master of the dark art of cosmetic dentistry, a true perfectionist who oh so obviously loves his job.

My teeth are now back to how they should be (far better, in fact) and I can’t thank the Winning Smiles team enough. The upper front crown (put in by a RAF dentist) that came loose and started me on my journey had been in there for about 40 years and had always been a few shades whiter than my other teeth so I’d got used to “smiling with my mouth closed”. Nowadays I’m just getting the hang of smiling properly – and I love it!

My only regret is that I didn’t do this many years ago and, if you’re reading this and thinking of “getting your teeth done”, I urge you to take the plunge and give Winning Smiles a call – you won’t regret it!

One Hundred Percent Recommended

Absolutely Fantastic Team. I would 100% recommend Winning Smiles, from the minute I walked in I knew that is where I wanted my Dental Work to be done after trying various other Clinics. Andrew is amazing and I felt very comfortable throughout my treatment. Thanks to all the team there.

This Has Changed My Life

Please if you are thinking of having implants visit Winning Smiles in Romford before you go anywhere else.

For years I was terrified of the dentist and my teeth were in a dreadful state. I cannot tell you how hard it was to walk into Winning Smiles just to get more information. From the first visit I knew I had come to the right place, all of the staff were so patient and kind, just what I needed. It has been four months since I had all on four implants top and bottom. I can honestly say that this has changed my life.

For years prior to this I could only eat food which was soft, now I am eating apples and crunchy salads the things that I missed eating the most. I am quite a happy person but before this I was covering my mouth when I smiled or spoke to people. Now I no longer have to do that and I cannot stop smiling.

My Confidence has grown and my health has significantly improved as I can now make better food choices. At no time during this procedure was I in pain, and I had no pain following the procedure. Now I look in the mirror and still find it hard to believe these are my teeth. I an indebted to Andrew and his team I feel like I did thirty years ago.

Helen Mallourides

Upper Jaw Implants – Painless!

Had a full upper jaw implant procedure 3 weeks ago and I’m absolutely delighted with the results. My smile has returned and confidence restored, from the initial consultation with Andrew Fennell his whole staff were totally professional and extremely caring. Special mention to Lauren the hygienist, Denise on reception, Toni who assisted during the procedure, Jim the technician and or course Andrew an absolute superstar.

I had some swelling immediately afterwards but almost no pain and it now is staring to feel natural. Thanks to all at winning smiles.

Michael Wall

Highly Recommended Team

Brilliant service from day one. Denise the receptionist was very informative on my first phone call, explaining the consultation process. I was seen by Andrew who is very professional, making me feel very comfortable with the treatment I received, talking through and explaining all possible treatment options. Would highly recommend Andrew and all the Winning Smiles Team.

Lisa Portelli

Great Service, Friendly Team

What a great service and friendly helpful and caring team
Andrew and all the team made me feel relaxed before and during my dental treatment as I was unsure beforehand what to expect. I feel like a different person to the 1 before and I cannot recommend Winning smiles enough.

Thank you to all at Winning smiles

Richard Gray

Painless and Considerate Dentistry

Found all the staff really nice and helpful.

Arrived being a real nervous patient that could not smile due to horrible looking teeth and I now have the confidence to smile all the time.

Thank you to Andrew and his team for the painless and considerate treatment they gave me. Would recommend them to everyone

Belinda Ryley

Changed My Confidence

I went to Winning Smiles for instant veneers as I have always been self-conscious about my smile and have spent my adult life hiding from the camera.

Friends and family told me there was nothing wrong with my teeth but I just didn’t like them at all. Found out about this treatment whilst researching porcelain veneers – instants were much cheaper, don’t damage the teeth and done in an afternoon.

Was very nervous going in but absolutely love them – and friends and family who thought I didn’t need it are amazed at the results and can’t believe what a positive difference it’s made, not only cosmetically but to my confidence as well.

Thank you.!

Winning Smiles Gave me My Life Back

Thank god for Winning Smiles you have literally given me my life back! I hadn’t seen the inside of a dentist for 15+ years! Finding Winning Smiles has changed my life I had a few loose teeth but I can’t thank Charlotte enough she straight away put me at ease and after taking out my teeth pain-free yes pain-free I was shocked I have a partial denture which is great.

I got to the stage where I wasn’t smiling, talking with my mouth covered! From the first phone call to now and I still have a way to go but I no longer have the fear I quite look forward to going!

I couldn’t recommend Winning Smiles enough I’m no longer afraid of the dentist and they have literally turned my life around and I’m only at the beginning of my treatment and after 3 weeks I can write a review like this!

I’ll leave an even better one when I finished!

Julie Forsyth

Nervous Implant Patient

Just finished having a full set of implants, cannot recommend highly enough, from start to finish it has been a 5* journey as I’m a very nervous patient and was put at ease all the way through, with amazing results,

I now have a smile to be proud of

Sarah Coates

Anxious Patient – Delighted

I have just finished my treatment with Winning Smiles, I had three single porcelain implants. I cannot praise Andrew and his team highly enough. I was a very anxious patient, but they have reassured and made me comfortable during every visit.

I am absolutely delighted with the treatment I have received, and would highly recommend Andrew and the Winning Smiles team

Amanda Walker

Brilliant Team

I found winning smiles online about one year ago, Andrew and his team, including the girls that run the reception, have been brilliant to me, going out of their way to refer me and chasing up hospital appointments.

All the work I had done including cosmetic, as well as implants, is to the highest standard possible, I am amazed by the technology used at the clinic and their very high standards on every aspect. I would definitely recommend winning smiles to friends and family!

Will Never Go Anywhere Else

I went to Andrew feeling so depressed after having a denture made for one tooth (elsewhere). I had a denture that did not fit and I had ulcerated mouth. Andrew SOON PUT THIS RIGHT AND I HAD AN IMPLANT PLUS A VENEER WHICH COVERED A DISCOLOURED TOOTH, THIS MADE ALL MY TEETH LOOK WHITER. SO PLEASED WITH RESULTS. LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING ANDREW and his wonderful staff.

Will never go anywhere else

Pauline Hart

Wonderful Staff

Upper Implant Bridge, Changed My Life

I have had my new teeth nearly 2 weeks now and could not be happier
I had a full upper implant bridge and some filling and cleaning to my existing lower teeth

Now for me, this was a big step as I had probably been to the dentist once in 10 years due to fear mainly, my teeth were in a bad way
as far as me not really going out at all anymore, not smiling at all and just hating the way they looked.

I decided to get the work done and went to a few dentists near London Bridge where I live and found that money and not my interests were at the top of their list so I decided to search further online and luckily found Winning Smiles.

From the moment I arrived I knew I was in the right place, I was comfortable straight away and after a chat, with Toni, I knew they were putting me and my needs first and that was the most important thing for me.

Once the cleaning and filing was done I had the upper implant bridge fitted , by the time the day came I was so relaxed at Winning Smiles I didn’t worry too much about the surgery , I have to say Andrew Fennell was amazing all the way through and is brilliant at his job so if you need any dental work he is the man to see , the surgery was pretty much pain free and I’ve had just a small amount of soreness on the upper roof of the mouth that was expected and I know this is down to Andrews care when he works .

Winning smiles has changed my life and I can’t thank them enough, everyone who works there from the hygienists to reception to the girls who held the tubes and wiped my face I can’t tell you how nice everyone is you’ll have to go and see for yourself they are amazing.

Thank you to the whole team but especially Toni who went beyond to help me and was always there if i needed her from day 1 until now so Thank You so much Toni.

Thank You to everyone at Winning Smiles you really have changed my life

Never too old for invisible braces

Never too old.

I am highly delighted, at last, in my 60s, I now have the straight teeth I have always dreamed of.

I went to Winning Smiles for advice. I found skilled practitioners and “Invisible Braces“. Together, these gave me the confidence to go forward with the treatment.

Andrew has a great team, who are always friendly and supportive. Especially, Charlene, who has “worked her magic”, this last year.
Thank you, everyone.

Grateful thanks to all the team who were a very professional, friendly and supportive particular thanks to Denise who is absolutely fabulous!

Lauren who is truly delightful and Andrew who is a star!

2 days post op after upper fixed denture and halfway through treatment feeling a little sore and swollen but already more confident and looking forward to the finished result.

The Perfect Dentist

I have finally found the perfect dentist!

I had implants done with Andrew and they are perfect, actually feel better than my real teeth and I had 2 root canal treatments with Jamie pain-free.

I used to dread dentist after years of bad experiences but I trust winning smiles 100%. I can not thank them enough for all the work done, I can finally smile!

Eleni kabiti

Exemplary Customer Service

From start to finish the Winning Smiles team have had an exemplary approach to customer service. The initial call to make an appointment for a consultation was handled extremely professionally by Dental Receptionists. They were able to make an appointment around my busy schedule and I got an appointment within 10 days.

The consultation went ahead as planned where I had photos taken of my teeth and then advised of the best plan of action to improve my misaligned teeth. Also during the consultation, I was advised of the payment options and potential payment plans if I couldn’t settle the bill as a whole.

Then came the pre-dental treatment to ready me for my braces. The Hygienist was absolutely brilliant. She cleaned my teeth and also went in to great detail on how I should clean and maintain my teeth.

Due to a large Frenulum, I had to undergo a Frenectomy. I was extremely nervous about having the Frenectomy but was reassured by the Orthodontist and the procedure was carried out quickly and pain-free.

Following the Frenectomy I had my braces installed and revisited the practice every 4-6 weeks for 11 months. During these visits again all the team were very courteous and polite and put me at ease.

The day the braces were finally removed the Orthodontist removed I was provided with a fixed brace and measured-up for a night brace to also use. I was reminded how to clean my teeth and also that if I had any problems to come back and see them.

So to close this practice lives up to its name because I truly have a ‘Winning Smile’ now.
Thank you.

Simon Cole

Veneers, Perfect Job

Couldn’t be happier with my veneers, asked for them to be more natural looking and they have done a perfect job.

Feel so much more confident smiling as I used to have quite a few gaps in my front set of teeth and have received many compliments already.

Couldn’t thank the team enough! x

Lucy

Fantastic team made me feel at ease

I would like to thank Andrew and Toni and all his lovely staff for making me feel so at ease from the moment I walked in.

I was petrified but they were so caring and explained everything about lower jaw implants which I had done. I cannot fault the excellent implant surgery Andrew did and the Sedationist was brilliant I didn’t feel a thing.

I am so happy with my new teeth and I will be staying with them for good I only wish I had known about them sooner. If you’re nervous about dentist go to Andrew not only does he do a brilliant pain-free implant he truly cares and takes time with you nothing is too much trouble

Thank you so much, Andrew and your fantastic team.

Mrs Barbara abnett

Immediate Veneers

I am so pleased with the immediate veneers I recently had done by Jamie.

My four front bottom teeth that were worn down and tired looking were completely transformed into dazzling new teeth thanks to Jamie’s expertise. I have been a patient of Winning Smiles for 5 years now and I can honestly say I have always found the staff to be friendly and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

Sandra

Nervous of Bone Grafts

Thank you to Andrew and Toni and all the staff, who made me very welcome and comfortable being there. I have had bone graft and implants and teeth filed down also had a veneer done which I am so happy about thanks to Andrew and Toni they have brought a smile back to my life and now I’m looking forward to getting married next year as I was worried about what my teeth looked like. I recommend if you want bone graft or implants and you are nervous this is the place to come👍

Gerald mazzone

Scared of Dentists, Not Any More

After being scared of the dentist for many years ( and that’s an understatement ) I finally plucked up the courage to have a full implant denture.

Andrew and Toni his dental assistant put me at ease and explained in detail what would happen.

I would just like to say thank you so much for helping me through my fears and of course for my lovely new teeth I’m having to learn to smile again as I haven’t for years, but I can now, thanks to Andrew and his team. They are real professionals from the moment you walk through the door you have a friendly welcome from the girls on reception, and they have great hygienists too (Lauren and Louise ). Thank you Winning Smiles I’ll never go anywhere else

Debbie

Amazing Teeth – Thanks to the Team

Woke up this morning with a wonderful smile. Amazing teeth, thanks to Andrew & the team at Winning Smiles. The modern systems used along with friendly helpful supportive and extremely knowledgeable staff helped me to relax and feel confident. (Did I mention that am petrified of dentists).

Questions asked about all treatments from dental hygiene to implants were easily answered by the team. I felt at ease from the beginning of my treatments right down to the end.

The best present that I have ever brought. Brilliant service, Thank you

Shirley Smith-Newsam

I found the courage – so happy

I have just completed my treatment with Andrew at Winning Smiles and am so happy with the results. It has taken me over 2 years to find the courage to have the dental work done as I was so nervous. My first consultation and meeting with Andrew and Toni, his dental assistant, gave me not just the confidence but the full support to go ahead.

Every step was explained in full and any concerns I had were answered. It has taken 6 months in total but it was the best decision I have ever made. The staff are amazing, you are made to feel so welcome and the best thing is you end up with amazing teeth, I love my new smile!!! Thank you all so much.

Theresa Glenister

Excellent implant team – worth smiling about

All i wanted for Christmas was my two front teeth (and a pre-molar) — success!!
I just wanted to write to thank the excellent implant team led by Andrew Fennell.
From the moment I met him I knew I was in safe hands. He has a calm focused aura that puts you at ease with the process.
I needed two front teeth and the resulting implants are a testimony to great workmanship as they are indistinguishable from the teeth either side.(the pre molar is also a success but it is hidden!). This is a tribute to Andrew’s care and attention to detail with photographic colour matching. The whole process was pain free and the resulting teeth are worth smiling about. Thank you Andrew.
i would also like to complement his great team from the reception staff to his dental nurses.A winning team and thank you.

John Brace

Specialist Implants – Very Reasonable

I cannot recommend winning smiles highly enough. I have just had a six tooth bridge fitted on 3 implants, completely pain free and considering the cost of bridges and implants elsewhere the price was very reasonable.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, and Andrew, the specialist is superb.

I would recommend them to anybody

Went and saw Andrew and his practice for advice about the mess my teeth were in, only 3 left in the top, was given the utmost attention and consideration I walk out of there about 4 months later with the biggest smile in my face and a full set of teeth that has transformed my life ,always smiling which I never used to, and everyone I know comments how good they look .

I can’t thank winning smiles enough and would recommend them to anybody. The wife thinks that they make me look younger and she likes the look of them.

Implant Denture Fantastic Service

I had a bridge fitted years ago due to an accident which didn’t look good, wrong colour to the rest of my teeth. Didn’t smile for years in photos as it showed up. The bridge started to get loose last year to the stage that I could only eat soft food of fear it would fall out. Four months ago the bridge did fall out. I made an appointment to see Dr Andrew Fennell at Winning Smile.
After my consultation with Andrew I knew he was the man for the job as he is extremely professional and explained all the options to me.
Andrew removed all my upper teeth and I have had an implant denture fitted. I cannot tell you how my quality of life has changed already. Just the simple things like eating an apple or having a steak makes a difference. Just to be able to smile again make a big difference. It’s a real confidence boaster.
I cannot thank Andrew and his great team at Winning smiles for the fantastic services and professionalism that I was given.

Sam Mitchell

Painless Professional and Perfect

Painless, Professional & Perfect
I’m so pleased that I chose Winning Smiles when I found that I needed dental implants; the friendly, professional and perfectionist team provide dental treatment of the highest quality.
After a thorough initial case assessment Andrew went through the issues and options with me explaining both the procedures and the costs of a comprehensive course of treatment designed both to address my existing dental problems and forestall any potential issues.
The treatment I chose was provided painlessly and to a truly excellent standard.
I would certainly highly recommend Winning Smiles to anyone who is nervous of dentists and/or is looking for first rate dental service.

Happy to Smile Again

Happy to Smile Again

I would like to thank Andrew and his team for my new smile. My teeth had deteriorated over the years and I came to a point in my life where that was having an impact on my life. I was recommended Winning Smiles by my own dentist. After an initial consultation and then a more in depth inspection and scan, I was told by Andrew that he could help by doing three implants and three additional teeth as an implant bridge. The first appointment was in January this year and I got my new smile in May, at each stage Andrew explained to me exactly what would happen and how long each stage would take, I was made to feel relaxed and comfortable on every visit. I would highly recommend Winning Smiles to anyone thinking about embarking on any treatment.

Myra Pritchard

Full Set Top Teeth

The best thing I ever did was to find Winning Smiles when doing an on line search for implant surgery. What can I say about Winning Smiles, going to meet Andrew and his team they put me at ease and made me feel special. On the first consultation Andrew and his team went through the stages of what would happen. I had a full set of top teeth fitted at the first stage and the attention to detail by Andrew was wonderful. When the top set was fitted it boosted my confidence making eating comfortable. I wasn’t afraid to speak and smile any more. So if you want to smile go to Winning Smiles.

Frederick Bowden

Fantastic Services

Winning smiles provide fantastic services, and support from the staff is always there, whenever you need it. They are friendly and always willing to answer any questions patiently. Plus – they are very good at their jobs and professional.

I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of undertaking dental work.

Super Friendly Winning Smiles

Could not be happier with Winning Smiles everyone is super friendly and very patient and understanding.

I won’t be going anywhere else from now on.

Kaylee

Petrified of Dentists

A Winning Smile – after being absolutely petrified of the dentist and not visiting one for about 17 years i decided it was time to do something about my brown stained teeth, broken crowns & gum disease. After visiting several other implant specialists i eventually found Andrew and his team. As a sedation patient this can be very expensive, Andrew started a plan of works which allowed me to have a mild sedative which alleviated my stress and fear allowing works to proceed.

A year later, and after several operations, implants and hygiene works i truly have a “winning smile”. I cant thank Andrew, Toni, Lauren and the rest of the team for their time & patience.

From a very happy smiley person.

Amazing Results

Dr Andrew Fennell at Winning Smiles was highly recommended by a friend, who also suffers from anxiety when going to the dentist. I really did need to get in to see the dentist (having not seen one in years due to a previous bad experience).

I have had some pretty extensive work both essential and cosmetic…. and the result is simply amazing!

The best bit? Although every stage and procedure was explained to me – Dr Fennell (and everyone at the surgery) did such an amazing job of easing my nerves (after my last dreadful dental experience), that I didn’t even require any anesthesia just the magic wand (numbing injections which I was almost unaware of completely).

“I bet this over anxious woman had a filling” I can almost hear you thinking – 2 teeth removed, deep route canal, a crown, 2 x implants, minor bone transplant, deep gum clean with a top and bottom brace….!! I therefore give this recommendation wholeheartedly from a reformed patient that would normally have to be knocked out just to get in the chair. Well done to Dr Andrew Fennell and all the staff that make this dentist surgery second to none!

I love my smile

Thanks to Andrew and his team, I have amazing new teeth.

I had surgery for dental implants earlier this year and now I can honestly say I love my smile. It wasn’t an easy process but Andrew and the staff at winning smiles helped me overcome my fear with their caring and calming attitudes.

Now the end result is something I am extremely happy with, and I would definitely recommend Winning Smiles to anybody seeking out any kind of dental work!

No Regrets, Dental Implants

My only regret is not visiting Andrew 10 years ago.

My quality of life was becoming compromised by constantly having front bridges dislodging and falling out (mainly at important meetings, functions or holidays), to excuse the pun I was fed up to the back teeth.

For me the scheduling of appointments, explained cost at every stage and the sheer progress during my dental implant surgery was astounding. I’m not joking I looked forward to every visit.

Having the x-rays scans on site was great too; Andrew leads a great dedicated team who deliver a very slick 360 service during every stage of your treatment, including the best & gentlest hygienist I’ve ever been too.

In a nutshell (a dark and confined space) Andrew is without doubt a master of his trade, very kind and has a great sense of humour too.

Please DO NOT HESITATE to make the leap of faith, the best thing I ever did in 2015.

Confidence Restored

After having spent years feeling embarrassed and unconfident with my teeth, I visited winning smiles feeling quite unsure as to how much of a difference they would be able to make. I am extremely pleased to say, after several months of excellent treatment I finally have the smile I had always wished for. The team at winning smiles have given me a new found confidence, and I can’t thank or recommend them highly enough.

Their professionalism, friendliness, honesty and generosity have been of constant comfort through the process.

Thankyou so much Ian,Andrew and the rest of the Winning Smiles team.

Joel

Painless Wisdom Tooth

I can’t thank Andrew and Toni enough for looking after me today

If it wasn’t for your caring team and PAINLESS dentistry I would never have gone through the removal of a wisdom tooth (I’m still shocked I did)

I can promise you I’m the biggest wimp, needle phobic too, I’m not even sure there was a needle involved, if there was then Andrew performed magic because I would have screamed the place down.

Honestly, I fully recommend Winning Smiles to anybody who needs a dentist who takes time to listen and understands any fears you have, and makes you feel at ease. Fantastic Team Winning Smiles

PS sorry Toni, I hope your hands are ok after I squeezed the life out of them 😉

A smile to be proud of

I would just like to thank Andrew, Ian and all of the staff at Winning Smiles.

I have just completed my treatment, implants, crowns, orthodontics and whitening and am over the moon with the results. I found all of the staff at Winning Smiles very friendly and extremely professional. They listened to the problems I was having with my teeth, suggested solutions and explained every stage of the procedures.

I would highly recommend them as I now have a ‘Winning Smile’ to be proud of.

Implant Denture Review

Andrew has removed all my upper teeth and I have had an implant denture fitted. Surgery day was completely pain free and following it, not a single pain killer required. The hardest thing was to put up with a temporary denture for 3 months. On final fitting of my implant denture I could finally chew food and I murdered a kebab on the first night!!

Also my upper teeth now look fantastic and natural.

Don’t hesitate and go to Winning Smiles.

Michael

Haven’t stopped smiling

After 5 hours pain free in the dentists chair I went home with my temporaries which were quite sensitive and I thought what have I done, maybe the old 1950s school dentists efforts could have been lived with.

Two weeks later I was fitted with my wonderful new teeth not dodgy dentures as I feared have not stopped smiling since.

Many thanks to all at winning smiles

Embarrassment Gone

Four months ago my teeth were an acute embarrassment to me. I also had trouble eating.

Now I have a WINNING SMILE! Thanks to amazing Andy and his fabulous team.

Thank you so much

To cap it off

I now love dentists!

One of my friends who used to be a dentist was honest enough to tell me how awful the old cap on my front tooth looked so I went to see the Winning Smiles team and came out with a brand new smile.

I am so pleased. What took me so long.

Sue Grayston

Amazing New Teeth

Just want to say a big thank you to Andrew and all the guys at Winning Smiles. You have done an amazing job with my new teeth.

I’ve got everything I wanted and more !! I couldn’t recommend you Highly enough !!! 🙂

Quality Dentistry, Dental Implants

I cannot thank Andrew and his team enough for their highly supportive and professional treatment during my dental implant surgery.

Andrew is clearly a highly skilled dental practitioner and he put me at ease straight away. My case was not straightforward and other dentists were not able to help – Winning Smiles COULD!

I am so impressed by the quality of Andrew’s dentistry and his eye for detail. I HIGHLY recommend this dentist and love my new implants!

Cheri C

Complicated Implant Case

My name is Sue and I am nearly 65 years old and had a terrific fear of Dentists I could cry just knowing I had to go. The teeth in my lower jaw were becoming loose and having no option went to another Dentist who said “at my age what did I expect and my jaw bone would not hold my teeth and they would all fall out and I would have to have a denture” I was devastated.

I phoned around and went to see a number of Dentists about implants and the attitude of the people left a a to be desired I was about to give up and one more phone call I was lucky enough to phone Alan at the Billericay branch and what a difference. I told him the problem and he was so positive light hearted and friendly I for the first time felt more confident.

They scan all patients at their Harold Wood branch where I met Andrew

What a good job. I had a cyst in my jaw bone which had eaten a hole through the bone and made matters more complicated as it had exposed the nerves in my face and I could not have a bone implant but all the time Alan and Andrew were still confident they could help me.

I told them I was scared out of my brains and they promised me that I would not feel any pain through the procedure which took 5 hours and 40minutes

  • My lower teeth were extracted
  • Titanium frame made and fitted in the mouth
  • Titanium acrylic bridge fitted
  • Implants placed immediately

All this work was carried out on the same day and I walked out with a full lower set of teeth. Alan and Andrew were true to their word I had no pain not only during but after the procedure.

The aftercare had been absolutely fantastic I consider I am one of the most critical people around and I cannot fault the care and attention I have received.

I cannot thank Alan and Andrew enough not once did they mention my age nor my vanity as an oap they have taken away my fear of dentists if you want a laugh at what was me a very stressful time, do not hesitate to go to them they make you feel so at ease

I would like to say thank you to Alan and Andrew for all the consideration they have shown me

Thank you

Embarrassed by my teeth

I could write a page on how bad my teeth were before I first visited Winning Smiles. I’d got to the stage where my fear of dentists was outweighed by the embarrassment I felt by their condition. A consultation with Andrew put me at ease and gave me hope that something could be done. He doesn’t see the neglect, he sees the end result. Doesn’t berate you like a naughty child (had that a few times in the past!) but treats you as an adult needing his help and expertise.

Now a year on and 2 implants, a crown to fix a twisted canine, new fillings and whitening, I have a set of ‘gnashers’ I can flash with confidence, something I’ve not had since….well ever, really.

Andrew and all at Winning Smiles, I cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done and for curing me of my dental phobia. A customer for life….make that a ‘regular’ customer for life!

Losing teeth through gum disease

Having suffered from gum disease and lost several teeth my wife nagged me into seeking remedial treatment.
I researched treatment both in the UK and Overseas, but being self-employed I really could not afford to take time off and have extensive visits overseas so finding a local specialist I could trust was paramount.

Andrew and his team are indeed one of the most professional you will find and their expertise and understanding of your needs becomes apparent very quickly.
All of my treatment was carried out on premises including CT Scans and Implant surgery saving me valuable days of time and travelling.

I can honestly say the only discomfort in the 4 months of treatment I recieved was getting used to my temporary dentures and Andrew made this very clear from the start that this wouldnt be easy. He was right!

Even the two hour Hygenist session I needed before Implants was painless.

However, treatment now over I now have my IRD’s fitted they look brilliant, fit and work perfectly with no glue, pastes or powders to keep them in place. I am now eating normally again (which I havent done for years) and most of all enjoying smiling at everyone!

If you have any concerns about your teeth, gums or appearance go and see the team at Winning-Smiles – it could change your life, not just your appearance.

Dental Veneer Replacements

To say I was terrified of dentists was an understatement! I had 6 very old chipped, stained veneers which I was totally ashamed of.

At my consultation, Andrew and Julie assured me it really would be painless (I didn’t entirely believe this at the time)…I returned to have all my old veneers replaced with immediate veneers. I was given a sedative to help me relax (wonderful stuff!) and didn’t even realise when I had the anaesthetic by way of the dental wand.

I can truthfully say the entire process from removing the old veneers to replacing with new ones was absolutely pain free. It wasn’t even remotely uncomfortable. I was quite happy chilling under a blanket listening to my iPod and before I knew it, I had lovely teeth again.

I feel 40+ years of having a phobia has been cured instantly so I cannot thank Andrew and his lovely ladies enough.

Dianne

Care and Attention

I can honestly say that I have never been treated with such care and attention at a dentist before. Ian fitted instant veneers for me and the amount of confidence it has given me and the way they look is amazing.

I sing for a choir and also a rock n roll band and will never feel self conscious about my teeth again.

Ian was very kind, patient and took great pride in his work. I would not hesitate to recommend the winning smiles team to anyone, so if you’re thinking about it please do make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed.

Instant Veneers Rock and Roll

so if your thinking about it please do make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed.

A caring attitude and attention to detail

A big big thank you to Andrew and his team at winning smiles. The whole staff are so friendly and helpful. My treatment took about six months during which I was so impressed with Andrew’s attention to detail and how meticulous he is. And above all his caring attitude.

He had a vision from the start about my treatment that we had to alter to suit my budget. I also had fillings done by Ian, a superb dentist who is very friendly, patient and accurate.

I take my hat off to all of you at winning smiles for the highest degree of professionalism that you showed during my treatment. I am so happy with my smile now

Thanks!

Linda S – Helping with Nerves

Over the course of a few years, the issues I had with my teeth led to more and more problems, not only with eating, but with facing people too. Phobia since childhood didn’t help either. After doing extensive research, I decided to contact Winning Smiles for their free consultation, and what a difference that made!

As a nervous patient, I didn’t need to sit in “The chair” at that consultation, I just chatted to Andrew, told him of my fears and problems, and he resolved to help me.

Andrew and his team are second to none. The professionalism, care, staff attitudes, even the environment leave you in no doubt that you are in good hands. Now, after extensive treatment, I feel I can smile again, my confidence is returning, and I have Andrew, and the rest of the team to thank. I cannot recommend their services highly enough.

Dental Review Notes:

Thank you for the review, its kind of you to take the trouble, we hope it will help other people. Many suffer from what ‘they’ feel is an irrational feeling of fear, but we know it is quite natural and more common that you might think, nothing to be embarrassed about. Often this fear is the result of traumatic childhood visits to the dentist. We know that taking the right amount of time and communicating ‘what’s going on’ is helping with nerves in many cases.

Life Changing Smile Makeover

For years I had wanted to have lovely teeth, I have a huge smile and it was looking worse and worse, I had a mish mash of teeth on a plate, awful fillings and discolouration. I was fast losing confidence and my smile. No one wanted to take on the challenge – then I found Andrew and his team.

Straight away Andrew decided what was to be done and when I was really worried and couldn’t believe anyone could give me back my smile Andrew took the time to call me and go through all the treatment with me giving me the confidence to go ahead with the treatment.

Thank goodness I took the plunge, it is life changing not only can I really smile again but I can eat properly oh the joy of biting on an apple!!

I really can’t thank Andrew and his team enough – it was an adventure at the end of which I got the treasure, not only my amazing new winning smile but all my dear new friends at Winning Smiles. If you are considering treatment – don’t hesitate – it is truly life changing and I cannot thank Andrew and his team enough.

Victoria H – A big thank you to the team!

I would firstly like to say this is the first review I have ever left on a website.

After 18 months of disastrous visits to a highly recommended dental practise I was left with what I considered to be unsightly teeth and so disappointed and upset by the outcome. I then went to visit Andrew Fennell. I cannot say enough in this short review about the quality of his work, total professionalism, care, attention to detail but most importantly the outcome of what was achieved. He took on what other dentists had declined to do, and I am utterly thrilled at the result.

I have given permission for Andrew to use my before and after photographs on the website, and I think people can decide for themselves. The quality of his work is so very visible, and I cannot thank him enough for the way it’s made me feel. I would describe the practise as one of excellence, the standards, care, consideration and overall professionalism I think is outstanding.

Finally I think it is important to add that from the moment I picked up the phone and spoke to Debbie, who instilled huge faith immediately, right through to having the treatment with Victoria assisting and Julie finalising things for me I have to say the girls who work with Andrew are wonderful. I hope people don’t think this review is too long and anyone considering having any dental work I hope will read this and decide to put their faith in Andrew’s practise. Once again a big thank you to you all, I really am very grateful. All my friends and family will now be attending the practice.

Dental Review Notes:

Victoria – thanks so much for leaving that review, we’re lucky to have the team!

Implants on the Lower Jaw

Having had a very loose bottom plate I visited Andrew at winning smiles, it was decided that a couple of implants would do, we went ahead and it was the BEST thing I have ever done, Andrew explain it all in a very simple and easy way to understand the treatment, costs etc.

Now I would not hesitate to recommend anybody with a similar problem as mine to visit Winning Smiles and speak to Andrew. Thank very much Andrew and Winning Smiles. Rodolfo

Judy – Denture Phobia

Thank goodness for Google! I searched “dental / denture phobia” and came up with the Winning Smiles website. I am 62 years old and work in a position where I am constantly dealing with people face to face. Having had dental problems for many years and having been unable to cope with regular dentures or even sitting in the dentist’s chair I was at the point of considering giving up work as my dental appearance was so poor I felt constantly embarrassed and yet could not overcome my phobia to visit a dentist.

From my first contact with Winning Smiles I have nothing but praise for Andrew Fennell and indeed his whole team. I now have denture implants and can smile again for the first time in years and although I still have some work to be done I have no fear! Thank you so so much.

Treatments: Implant Retained Dentures

Dental Review Response

By Andrew

Judy thanks so much for your honesty here. So many patients are in a similar situation and they want to know that something can be done to help them overcome their nerves and sort out their dental problems.

Many patients suffer so much with their dentures that they either give up and go ‘toothless’ or only wear them for show – being careful never to eat in front of anyone. Dentures can be very difficult to wear – even the good ones move around quite a bit (especially in the lower jaw) – eating hard food? Forget it.

Soft foods only – and nipping to the bathroom after every meal to remove trapped food. Hardly glamorous.

About 10% of denture patients can’t wear them because they cause gagging.

And why have these patients lost so many teeth in the first place? It’s as Judy says – a fear of visiting the dentist (often started as a child) which keeps them away unless they are in total agony by which time it is often too late to save the tooth and the extractions start. Our first task with a patient like Judy (and there are many) is to reassure them that

  • 1) We care
  • 2) We understand
  • 3)We are not going to make you feel like its all your fault (its usually a childhood dentist at fault in truth)
  • 4) We will take all the time we need (no rushing)
  • 5) It’s never too late – we can provide a fully functioning solution.

Mike – Restoring My Faith in Dentistry

Having first visited Andrew and his team in August 2010 I was extremely nervous having lost my father 30 years ago due to a dentists negligence aged 51. Close to a year later and now being 51 myself I can only thank Andrew and his whole team for helping me to come to terms with dentistry as a whole.

I would without hesitation recommend Andrew and his team for the humour coupled with professionalism they have shown over the last year. In this day and age it is refreshing to find service like this at every level of a business. In summary if you have any issues with dentists as a profession I can honestly say that these people are the best.

Ashleigh – Cosmetic Smile Makeover

Although I’ve read lots of reviews for this and that I’ve never actually left one, this will be my first.

I had all my fillings changed for white, a crown an inman aligner and bleaching. The results were better than I was expecting I’m very pleased with the result, and I would like to just say thank you to all at winning smiles. Not only for this but also for how accommodating they were arranging appointments due to the fact I live 140+ miles away. Thank you

Dental Review Notes

Thanks Ash for your kind words. Ash travelled all the way from Coventry to sort out his dental problems.

Sam – In Safe Hands

I was a patient of Mike Fennell several years ago and all I have to say is that I have never felt so comfortable in the hands of a dental practitioner.

Thank-you.

Sam

Ann-Marie – Getting a Perfect Smile

I just like to say thank you so much for your help and how much it has made me feel comfortable about my teeth. I have always hated my teeth, everything about them and it didn’t help that I am scared of going to the dentist either.

My whole experience of Winning Smiles has been fantastic. I hate everything about the dentist from the second you walk in till the second you leave. However since I have been going to winning-smiles my confidence has grown. There is not any pain at all including the needle at the very beginning to numb your gums. That’s the bit I hate the most.

When I went for my consultation and I explained that I feel my teeth were too far forward, that the front two teeth are too long and that the fillings that I had done somewhere else where yellow. He explained that I could not do anything about the teeth being so far forward with out breaking my jaw, but what he could do would be a significant difference. He explained by filing down the too front teeth, whiting all the front teeth and changing the colour of the fillings to match the colour of my teeth after whiting would make a big difference.

I agreed to have everything he said done and I am very pleased with the results, he took a before and after photo and it is amazing how much better they are and how much better I feel about my teeth. I was worried at first as I fault it would hurt but I can honestly say none of it did.

I love my new teeth and now can show them off. Thank you to everyone

Ann-Marie

Gill – Adult Teeth Straightening

Having just finished my Invisalign treatment I feel I must write and thank the whole team at Winning Smiles.

Thinking at the age of 57 there was no way anything could be done for my crooked teeth. I thought I would enquire as my husband had undergone extensive implant work and the result was amazing and very successful.

I had attended an NHS dentist reqularly and thought my teeth must be in a reasonable condition, but after a consultation with Andrew I realised just how bad a condition they were in.

After a few appointments with Andrew and the Hygienist I was referred to ‘Andrew’s Dad’ Mr Fennell for my Invisalign treatment.

It has taken about 18months but the result is really great. The standard of care throughout was professional and friendly from all of the team.

I would thoroughly recommend Invisalign, you get used to wearing the aligners almost immediately and nobody even knows you are having treatment. I am more confident now when I smile than I have ever been!

Thank you Winning Smiles once again and I look forward to my next checkup!

Gill

Jenny – No need to hide your smile

I must have been the worst patient to walk through the doors of winning smiles, being so afraid of dentists. I have tried at least 5 to get my teeth sorted out but never been able to stay in the chair for more than 5 minutes, so when my friend recommended me to see Andrew I was convinced it would end up the same. I have been 2 years without front teeth, top and bottom, following a riding accident. I was becoming very depressed because my confidence was going as I found it difficult to talk to people and make eye contact, which is important in my work and was always putting my head down and covering my mouth.

I had a consultation with Andrew and he explained what work could be done. He was very professional but at the same time, reassuring with a calm and kind manner. I actually began to believe I could go through with the implant that I needed.

When the day came for the work to be done, I was very, very nervous but felt quietly confident. I couldn’t believe how painless, quick and professionally it was done. I didn’t even need to take pain relief and that evening, tucked into a steak dinner.

Thank you Andrew and your great team for letting me smile again.

Jenny

John – A Perfectionists Smile

Before finding Winning Smiles, I already had what many people considered to be a good dentist in Greenwich, however I wasn’t happy with the level of service they gave me and that put me off going at all. Upon developing a problem with a front crown, I decided to seek out a better option and after reading positive reviews I booked in for a consultation.

I was surprised by Andrew’s level of knowledge and his keenness to understand what I was looking for, he gave me time to ask more in-depth questions until I was satisfied that I was in the right place. I’d also like to mention that the same courteous and knowledgeable traits are shared by the whole team.

I’m a perfectionist at heart and because I am sensitive about my front teeth, I went to the extent of creating digitally altered pictures of what I wanted them to look like, a first for Andrew I think and he was more than happy to work towards my idea. He guided me on what would look natural and we agreed upon what would be done.

The results are fantastic, and because of proper procedures being used and the level of attention that I was afforded, I firmly believe that I wouldn’t have gotten a better result anywhere else.

Many thanks to everyone,

John

Christine – Creating a Natural Smile

I found the Winning Smiles website whilst looking for a dentist to replace an unsatisfactory NHS crown. The honest and straightforward approach of this site encouraged me to call and make an appointment.

Andrew welcomed me with a warm, friendly smile that made me feel at ease as I explained the reason for my visit. He completely understood why I was unhappy and said the crown could certainly be replaced with one more acceptable in looks and practicality.

We then discussed how I felt about my teeth generally and I mentioned that I had always been unhappy with my two front teeth, which were rather prominent and dominated my narrow smile. After looking at them, Andrew suggested that by having crowns on eight of my upper front teeth, I could solve both my problems and increase the width of my smile at the same time.

There was no pressure to make a decision straight away and I left to think over my choices. I decided to have the eight crowns. Although it would be a major step, and involve a lot of work, I was already confident that Andrew would provide me with the best possible result. As my treatment proceeded smoothly and painlessly I can honestly say that I looked forward to each appointment.

My transformation was completed five weeks ago and the result has exceeded all my expectations. The new crowns feel very natural so that I forget about them until I look in a mirror; then I’m really happy because I now have the smile I always wanted.

Many thanks to everyone at Winning Smiles for all their hard work.

Christine

Carol R – Making patients smile again

After having five old teeth removed I had a real confidence issue when out with friends or family. I always felt self conscious about smiling, as this would show the gaps in my teeth. So I went along to see Andrew who was very understanding and explained in great detail what he could do and how long the work would take.

I felt so confident in Andrews advice that I decided to have five new implants and some additional work started as soon as possible. Now after 6 months i have the smile i always wanted and feel more confident in public. I can’t thank Andrew and the staff at winning smiles enough for all the help and support they have given me.

Lois – Curing Dentist Phobia

I began my dentistry treatment with Andrew and his team back in September. Every time I visit the surgery I am more and more amazed! I have had five teeth extracted and have never felt any pain! Amazing! I am now preparing for implant surgery and I never thought I’d say this about dentistry treatment but I actually can’t wait.

Andrew and his team are fantastic, they are all very friendly and I am always impressed that they remember my name.

Andrew has cured my fear of dentists and made it possible for me to smile with confidence at my wedding. Thank you!

Carol A -Emergency Tooth Replacement

Hello Andrew and the winning smile team. I would like to say a huge Thank you for the wonderful front tooth implant you did for me recently..the thought of spending the rest of my life with a front tooth missing was a pretty depressing feeling…but thanks to your knowledge and skill i now have a tooth that fits perfectly with my own…even though i had to travel from Peterborough because i just could not find a dentist that took the broken tooth out and replaced it straight away with the implant..but you did…Great stuff.

Carol

Brett – Getting over the Fear

I would just like to say thank you to Andrew and his team for helping me get over my fear of dentists and injections. Two fillings and an extraction later and I can safely say that my fear has almost gone.

I would recommend Winning Smiles to anyone who has a similar phobia. I can’t fault the care and reassurance that was given to me by the team. The treatment was completely painless for which I am most grateful.

Thank you

Brett

Barbara – No longer the Chair of Doom

Hi, i am almost at the end of my implant surgery. I have had a front tooth and one just to the side done so it was obviously very important that the implants looked good, matched the colour of my other teeth and looked like my own teeth. They do look good, they do match and they do look like i grew them myself!

Without wishing to bore you with my dental phobic history; i was a gibbering wreck, i couldn’t go to work on the days i visited the dentist and quite often couldn’t go the day after either!
I would guess that i must have been one of the worst cases that Andrew and his team have encountered; whimpering, yelping, whining and unable to breath – and that was just in the waiting room.
However, since finding Andrew: oh happy day, i am a changed woman!

I no longer have the fear, no longer call the dentist chair ‘the chair of doom’ and can go to work both before and after treatment….on the same day!

Not only has he worked miracles with my teeth he has also stopped me being terrified….no mean feat!

The team who work with him are equally great and deserve much credit as well.

If you are petrified i can only say go see him. He and the team will sort out your teeth and your fear.

Rob – Rebuilding my Smile

After two weeks with my fab new smile, I feel inspired to share my experience.

From my first meeting and consultation with Andrew Fennell, I felt comfortrouble and at ease, a first for me I’m afraid, previous dentists must have studied at Dewhurst I think, nuff said.

I had a series of missing, loose and broken crowns, and my smile had disappeared and distorted over time. Andrew offered different options to rebuild the smile, we worked out the most cost effective way in my case would be a bridge, great, compared with dentures I was offered everywhere else this was fantastic and I was very happy to start treatment.

Winning Smiles attitude to pain management must be commended! That for me was a very big fear and what kept me away from a dentist for too long. The painless injection system used by Andrew was the most reassuring experience possible, from then on I was happy to go through hours of work and even have a laugh during treatment at times, amazing. Other patients reading this will know what I mean when I talk about the synergy between Andrew and his nurses during treatment, it’s almost like going to a gig with the level of intuition and communication on display, and has changed my mind about dentists forever (well some anyway).

So having also seen Andrew blow a mean blues harmonica, I can understand this better!

The skill and communication on display between Andrew, and the entire team are what makes Winning Smiles brilliant. The atmosphere, the statue, the smiles on the faces of other waiting clients, just make the whole experience really enjoyable.

My smile recommends Winning Smiles to everybody I meet. Thank you all and see you soon no doubt for hygienist and other delights. :)

Diane – Tears…of Joy!

Painless Implants!!!!

As promised at the end of last year…… an update for you all.

My implants (two incisors)were done only a week ago. To my amazement I was grazing away on chip shop food within 2 hours of the operation.

Today I returned to have the stitches removed and a small adjustment made to the temporaries.

I left Andrews surgery almost in tears – OF JOY!!!

I see a very very bright light at the end of the tunnel.

What a team – thank you all.

Diane

Keely – Smile Confidence

I came across your website today and thought I must leave you a review. Better late than never, as my cosmetic treatment with Andrew and his team, came to an end back in February 2005. Not only did I pose a challenge cosmetically, but I had a fear of dentists from my schooldays… (we wont go there!) I am very happy with the result….I now smile with confidence for the first time in 30 years, plus I am also over my dentist phobia! If I hadn’t moved over 300 miles to Cornwall you’d have still had to put up with me now! Keep up the good work…..

Diane – Parents Lie!

You may recall my review of 28 August which followed an accident resulting in the loss of my r/h incisor. Well.. get this. Can you remember when you were young and had to have your fist tooth out??? You will probably recall the words “don’t worry my love, it will soon be over and you only have to go through this ONCE”! Well thats not true… As the only person I know that has had the same tooth extracted twice I hope you find the this review both funny and educational.

Shortly after my accident and the extraction of what was remaining of my smashed tooth, a rather unsightly and uncomfortable lump appeared on my upper lip. Everyone I spoke to told me that is was scar tissue! Some eight weeks in, the lump started to cause me significant discomfort and anxiety. I was feeling ‘strange’ and experiencing extreme facial sweats. hmmmm says Diane off to bother my local GP (Dr Kwan) and bore the pants off him with my never ending tooth story and moaning about the lump. I always knew that something wasn’t quite right but when my doctor recommended an x ray and put me on antibiotics I was then convinced that me instincts were correct.

Andrew Fennell to the rescue – he x rayed the soft tissue for me (which for your information Queens Hospital on the night of the accident omitted to do!) and guess what… half of the smashed tooth was embedded in my cheek (upper lip). To Andrew’s credit he arranged to extract the tooth (again) the very same day. He personally performed the surgical procedure with the utmost care and sympathy. I am delighted to report that within hours the swelling had subsided and I was back on solid foods (all be it an indian curry) the very next day.

So that’s the proof – PARENTS LIE.

I consider myself very lucky to have two important men in my life – my GP and dentist. THANK YOU BOTH

For those of you who find this dribble interesting (get a life) but my next update will follow the implant procedure (late Dec/early Jan).

Diana – A real emergency

Sadly I had reason to visit the emergency service provided by winning smiles last Saturday following a serious fall which necessitated removing one of my front teeth. The service and personal care I received was second to none. Very professional and understanding. Today I returned for an assessment and i have to say I was taken back by the expertise and sensitivity to my situation that I received. i will let you know the outcome but at the moment I feel like Winning Smiles have or will shortly restore my character and confidence – something that cannot be bought! thank you.

Angela – A family affair

Just finished eight months of treatment which included 4 implants. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Four out of five members of my family have been treated by either Andrew or Michael all with amazing results.

I would recommend Winning Smiles to anyone.

Ruth – Don’t be scared of sedation!

DON’T BE SCARED OF SEDATION……..IT’S BRILLIANT….TRUST ME!!!

I came in for 4 hours sedation with your FANTASTIC sedationist Doctor Damian. It was recommended as I needed 10 upper crowns and surgery to even up my gum lines. This involved a very lengthy treatment, which thankfully I was not aware of. Amazingly I was told to eat and drink before treatment. The drug process to put me to sleep was not in the least bit traumatic. It only involved a tiny needle, with just one drop at a time of the drug. When I came round, I did not feel unwell in the least (just not quite with it). It was a totally stress free experience, and I recommend it to anyone undergoing lengthy/complex work.
Andrew is also doing a brilliant job, sorting out my general and cosmetic dentistry…..BEFORE AND AFTER his clever Dad Michael straightened them for me with Invisalign.
The girls are all great too, and I am SO lucky to have found the perfect team at Winning Smiles!

What a team

Having this treatment has made an enormous difference to my life. I not only look 100% better I also feel better and I recommend Andrew and his girls without reservation. From my first appointment I felt total confidence in Andrew. I am not normally brave at the dentist but I was not nervous at all even though I had a lot of work done over two months. To have a beautiful smile is better than plastic surgery or Botox whatever your age and I highly recommend Winning Smiles in Harold Wood. Thanks Andrew you are a star.

Trying Invisalign

As a patient who started Invisalign aged 50, I have been wearing my Invisible braces for 9 months so far. My total treatment time is 1 year for the top set, and 2 years for the bottom set. The improvement to date of my dreadfully crooked teeth is just incredible. I won’t pretend it is an easy ride, BUT it is well worth doing if you are as embarrassed as I was about your teeth. I feel positively excited about my future perfect smile. Thanks Michael, (and the girls) for looking after me SO well! Kindest regards from Ruth

It didn’t even hurt!

The treatment went extremely well, and I have no hesitation in recommending Winning-Smiles.
