Testimonials

The first thing that always strikes me each time I go back to visit the Dene Dental Practice, and I have been doing so for two decades, is the observation of the sincere warmth of the welcome with which everyone is greeted from reception onwards.

It is a happy ‘smile factory’ The quality of the design, decor, layout and equipment that greets one, immediately and reassuringly points to the careful thought, planning and efficiency that has been invested in the Practice.

I am disabled and every possible care is always employed to ensure my comfort at every stage of care. The dental care one can expect is of the highest possible standard and always comfortingly innovative.

The range of equipment and techniques deployed are always visibly state of the art. My family’s age range is now from early 30’s to early 80’s.

We all rely on Dene Dental for our dental care and all would happily endorse these comments.

If a ‘star’ range had to be applied to Dene Dental from ‘one to five’ – five being the highest – then DD merits a ‘five’.

I find the practice welcoming, immaculate and efficient. Dr Vik Shah sets the tone with his helpful friendly advice, always listening to what I have to say. I particularly like the way he explains exactly what he is doing all the way through the treatment. This makes one relax and have confidence in his skills.

What an incredible time line that was: one moment I’m sipping my coffee and enjoying a biscuit the next I break a tooth (11:45); then a quick call to the Practice and by 12:30 the restoration work begins. All finished within just half an hour and I ‘m home again by 1:30. Such an outstanding response cannot be bettered.

Fantastic service, a most excellent job achieved without discomfort. I am greatly appreciative and thank you most sincerely for your most kind and prompt attention.

I had given a lecture to a large group of 6th formers and their teachers followed by a lively Q & A session. Although I had not met any of them beforehand, I felt that it had gone well.

Imagine my horror, however, when I bit into a roll at lunch and a front tooth broke and fell out. Not a pretty sight. Thank goodness that talk had already taken place.

I phoned Vik who found time for me that very afternoon. He fitted a temporary tooth which looked fine. Eight days later the permanent tooth sat beautifully in my mouth.

I can’t thank Vik and team enough for their kind, swift action saving me from toothless embarrassment.

Painless dentistry is a reality. I can relax in Vik’s chair and know that he will do his very best for me.

The dedication of Vik Shah and his staff are beyond reproach. I am in the 80s group and do enjoy, also appreciate an honest positive approach to a problem, coupled with a clear understanding. These I noted as Vik’s qualities. In addition to the six monthly reviews and reminders, I have experienced two major jobs done to my jaws, both with complete satisfaction, all credit to Vik and his staff.

Since the week that Dr. V. Shah started his practice in Dene Road, I have experience his meticulous care. He clearly explains options and is aware of medical conditions which may affect treatment. Example: in my case, osteoporosis and has saved my teeth from possible extractions. At all times consultations are enjoyable.

I have always been stressful at a dentist’s appointment. However, from entering the practice to examination to treatment, the stress goes and is replaced with a feeling that I am in good hands.

In the course of last year, I had occasion to visit Dr. Vik Shah in order to have an extraction of the upper left molar and front right incisor. Both extractions were carried out expertly and subsequent plates (dentures) were perfectly fitted to my extreme satisfaction.

Visiting Vik is never a trying experience – not yet in the six year’s I have been seeing him. Tina is welcoming and the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. Vik is an excellent dentist, takes great care of his patients and always explains well the procedures.

Emergency treatment for an infected root canal was arranged quickly and the treatment was quick, painless and thorough. Temporary filling gave no problems during my holiday and subsequent treatment as always was very professional.

I and my wife have been attending DDP now for a number of years. The team under Vik Shah’s leadership provides a first class professional service in a comfortable environment with all the latest technology. I have no hesitation in recommending Vik Shah to anyone in search of a dentist.

Dr. Shah and his team are expert, excellent and caring! It is almost a pleasure to visit the surgery.

 I had become increasingly unhappy with  the appearance of my old crowns and heavily worn yellow front teeth. I was impressed when Vik showed me a wax ‘Mock-up’ of my new teeth even before any work began in my mouth. Vik is caring and considerate and discusses one’s treatment before, during and after sessions. The entire treatment was pain free. I felt no pain during or after my treatment. The treatment has increased my confidence. I would recommend Dene Dental Practice to anyone because of Vik’s skills and care, the relaxing modern ambience of the treatment room and waiting area. My experience has enhanced by the receptionist, Tina, who is both efficient and welcoming.

Just wanted to say how good our appointments were with Mandy yesterday. She was brilliant and really did a wonderful job with myself and my boyfriend; we are loving our super clean teeth. He gets very nervous seeing the dentist as he had quite traumatic dentistry when he was young. Even a cleaning is scary stuff to him, but I could hear her being very reassuring with him.

I had Bonding on my front 6 teeth over a year ago and I was so beyond pleased with them. Vik spent hours sculpting them so that they looked unbelievably natural. He has a really calming influence and takes the time to get to know a bit about you as a person, I couldn’t recommend you all enough.

Vik is such a fabulous dentist and a delight to see every six months.

A very caring and meticulously clean dentist who clearly loves his work and is so good at it. Someone I can trust to act in my best interest at all times.

No one could be more anxious about visiting the dentist than I, however, due to Vik and his team that is the thing of the past.

Thank you Vik for my new teeth and as my daughter says, your Hollywood smile.

The modern, well lit premises and ultra modern equipment all help to create a feeling of complete confidence in the treatment and the care being received.
