Colegrove Dental Surgery

Friendly

My mother has a filling that has come loose, which we believe might need a crown to fix. The head dentist, being a friendly gentleman and a genuine professional, gave my mother a thorough examination, before suggesting a much cheaper option to repair the filling instead. Mr Blankendaal explained the specifics of her condition in detail, showing why crowning might not be the best solution at this stage and why a simple filling will suffice for her case. Although my family was quite prepared to part with £800 or more (1 crown + 1 filling, which should be the lowest I found in the region) for this appointment, we end up only paying £80 for the filling. I want to emphasise my appreciation for the dentist’s honesty, as other clinics would just happily go along with the crowning request and charged us with the considerably more expensive outcome. While the head dentist here will perform exactly what the patient needed, to an exceptional level tagged with an extremely reasonable price. My father joked that he’s beginning to worry we would be hard pressed to find a dentist that is as professional and ethical as the head dentist at Colegrove, if we wish to move house to another part of the country in future. Really a cheerful experience every time we visit the dentist.

Fantastic service from the minute you go through the door to the dentists chair .
