Testimonials

My teeth have always been one of my insecurities, I never liked to smile with my teeth on pictures. In lockdown I decided it was time to change that and thought Invisalign was the best option for me. After discussing  this with the team and after expressing what I wanted to change we went ahead and started the process . I couldn’t have received better support than I have from the team and the treatment has been fantastic. Everyone has been amazing, making me feel comfortable in the practice and ensuring I receive the best service. I am delighted with the results and would recommend Invisalign and Shotley Bridge Dental Care to anyone considering it.

If you could sum up your experience in a short sentence?

I couldn’t be happier with the treatment results or the service I received throughout my Invisalign process

What did having this treatment done mean to you?

Having had long term problems with not only my smile but also my bite, it was a brilliant thought out long term solution after decades of delaying.

What impact has this treatment had?

This treatment has had a huge impact on my life. I have more of a bite than I ever had, I feel more confident within myself appearance wise and I just like smiling now.

How has the treatment benefitted you?

I can now actually show teeth when I smile. It makes me feel less conscious. I feel happy!

Having my teeth straightened is something I’ve wanted for a long time. Having fixed metal braces 20 years ago terrified me and didn’t produce the result I wanted. Being able to have clear braces and a say in the results I wanted to achieve was very important to me.

The treatment has given me a confidence that I didn’t have before. At work and when having photos taken, I am much happier to show my smile.

The treatment has benefited me by increasing my confidence in my appearance. The short time it took was a great bonus compared to alternative treatments.

I am very happy with the results the treatment has achieved.

I got a shock when the braces were first fitted as they totally changed the shape of my mouth and they weren’t as discreet as I’d imagined, but it did not take me long to get used to them and I didn’t have to make any significant changes to my lifestyle or what I ate.

How do you feel now?

Amazing, I love that I’m no longer conscious of how I look when I smile and I feel much more confident.

Has it changed how others perceive you?

” My daughter has her teeth straightened and they were fabulous. Then I noticed mine were not so straight. I had Invisalign. The treatment and the team were great, explaining everything very well. I am very pleased I had the treatment done and have had compliments on my teeth since. The whole treatment was very professional and the results were great! “

Always professional. very friendly, everything with regards to treatment explained. Comfortable and efficient.  the practice understood my needs and were able to advise and discuss how this could be achieved with understanding and effectiveness. Terrific!

For whiter teeth go for Bio Clear composite white fillings, excellent!

I was not happy with my smile and did not feel confident smiling with my mouth open. I wish I got braces earlier.

Durning treatment I had to adapt and could not drink of eat foods that would stain the braces, my overall hygiene has improved and teeth are healthy and clean.

I am very happy, more confident, my teeth are easier to clean and I am very happy with how they look. People are impressed with the appearance of my teeth and how quickly treatment has been.

I would definitely recommend Shotley Bridge Dental Care, the staff are warm, welcoming, professional and inform you every step of the way of treatment ensuring the best results! Thank you so much

I have always hated my teeth and been reluctant to smile. When I was younger my dentist said my teeth were like a bag of bones. After this I became fearful of the dentist and didn’t get them straightened because of this. I have had Invisalign treatment and whitening, with 17 retainers in total. It has been a really simple and enjoyable experience. All the staff have answered my questions and been very patient and reassuring. I am happy with my teeth now and can’t believe the difference. I can smile now with confidence.

I went for Invisalign after wanting more confidence in my smile. The treatment has been nothing but professional and helpful all the way through. Queries or concerns have been answered throughout. The team have been brilliant and I would absolutely recommend having Invisalign at the practice.

For years I had a crooked line on the bottom row which was caused by movement of wisdom teeth. Not wanting to do the traditional brace I took no action. I recently saw the advert for the 6 month smile brace and after seeking advice opted for the Invisalign removable retainers. The treatment took a bit longer than I expected mainly due to the alignment of my bite. I must praise the dental team throughout. Very professional and attentive.

I compared the initial photographs with the eventual results and the changes are astounding. I will now have a mouth full of straight, full, white teeth!

I’ve had Invisalign treatment, I’ve found it quite challenging as I started this process in April, the same month I found out I was pregnant. However I’m so glad I stuck with it as I am over the moon with the results. I’ve felt very supportive from staff throughout.

I had a big gap in my two front teeth and it was something I hadn’t liked for a while. I started the Invisalign treatment hoping it would help a little but did not expect the results to be as good as they were! The team explained everything really well and were very flexible with my appointments. I couldn’t recommend it higher, I am very happy with the results.
