Hi Iain.
I’ve visited 5 dentists in total now. One was Stratford Dental, in Stratford (you’d never have guessed). That was on recommendation of my parents who live a bit more locally than me. The practice seems ok, but I was a bit annoyed at making an appointment to ask about implants, and then just get a quick overview for the dentist to say
“Yes, implants would be one solution; you’ll need to see our implantologist. He’s here once a month, and was here yesterday. You’ll have to come back in a month. That’ll be £130 please.”
Personally I want a practice that can offer service better than once a month, and so far I have been most satisfied by Ceepers recommendation on the 1st page.
Sorry that doesn’t really help, apart from ‘maybe not Stratford Dental’.
Good luck.
