Painless Dentistry

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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,

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.

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!
