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. Antoinette

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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 😀

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

Winning Team at Winning smiles!

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. X

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.

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.

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.

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.
