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.

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

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!
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.

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.
