“I have had the very good fortune to have been a patient of Mr Neil Black for some considerable time.
I have suffered from an extremely painful facial problem called trigeminal neuralgia, which gives painful teeth and jaw ache. I have had to see Mr Black as an emergency patient on many occasions and I have always been treated with such professionalism, kindness and empathy but was never made to feel a nuisance, which I sometimes felt within myself.
Mr Black is a superb dentist and I feel privileged to be a patient of his, he’s one in a million”. S.M.
“Excellent. If Carlsberg did dentistry they would probably be the St. Paul’s Dental Practice!” A.C.
"After my recent visit I would like to say a big thank you to Lyn the Hygienist for making me feel so good after a thorough clean, which she also seems to enjoy. To Nick for making me feel so relaxed, a pleasant waiting room and friendly staff. Gone are the fears I used to have. Thank you once again" S.M.
"Whilst on holiday I lost a front tooth. I made an appointment to see Nicholas Tomes. At St. Paul’s Dental Practice he suggested dentures which he knew I was not keen on. However after four appointments I am now wearing dentures.
What an excellent job he has made, they fit in so well with my remaining natural teeth.Thank you so much for your help and advice." S.D.
"I have always struggled with dentists and they have always put the fear of God into me. An extremely painful tooth meant purely by chance that I ended up going to St. Paul’s Dental Practice and they have changed the way I see dentists!
A calm, professional and honest approach meant that I always knew what to expect and my comfort and concerns were always prioritised. I was greatly impressed by the modern and patient focused way they go about dentistry.
My teeth look and feel fantastic and Nick’s chairside manner made the experience virtually painless and on occasions entertaining!
I am now able to view a visit to the dentist without fear and have a much healthier approach to my oral health." B.W.
"Anyone considering dental implants? I would say go for it; don’t hold back as it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Having my two front teeth badly damaged at the age of thirteen, it was the start of a long journey of dental treatments/destruction spanning 26 years.At first the treatment consisted of crowns which eventually failed due to damage the original injury caused to the roots, this lead to the complete loss of the tooth and resulted in two perfectly good teeth being filed down to construct a bridge to support the missing tooth.
Yet again the treatment didn’t stop there; the new bridge put too much stress on the adjoining teeth. The bridge failed and the only option available was to increase the expanse of the bridge causing further perfectly good teeth being ruined, or my worse nightmare a denture. To stop the domino effect I opted for the denture, which immediately affected my confidence.
After many years I never adjusted to wearing the denture and looked for an alternative.Implants were the only option left. After research and consultations with Nick I decided to go ahead with the treatment. Due to the time spent wearing the denture the jaw bone had receded to such an extent a bone graft was necessary, which in my opinion was the most traumatic part of the procedure, which could have been avoided had an implant been offered when the original tooth was removed, avoiding the costs and unsuccessful previous treatments.
Should you take the implant option you can be assured you are in very capable hands, Nick took the time to clearly explain every procedure and made me feel as relaxed as possible. Nick was available at any time should I need reassurance. He showed lots of patience and understanding and even opened the surgery out of hours on two occasions just to put my mind at rest. My confidence has been restored; I love my new teeth and would highly recommend it, money well spent." L.O.
