I have recently left the practice for an NHS place elsewhere. This is no reflection on the quality of the (substantial)work done by Bhavika and Ketan,which was friendly,professional,on budget,painless and so far as I can judge,high quality. The staff are also friendly,professional and efficient.

I have had Enlighten Teeth Whitening Treatment done with Bhavika in December. The whole experience was fabulous. Very easy and Bhavika was excellent at explaining the process before I had it done all. The process itself was very straightforward and I am really delighted with the results. I had no pain or sensitivity to the whitening gel used. I would highly recommend a tooth whitening regime to anyone thinking about having it done. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!
