I would award the entire experience 5 out of 5Hazel, UK, 19 10 23This is my husband's experience as he’s not online:
After unpleasant experiences with the school dentist, I was not looking forward to the process.
Noel Perkins and his team have been superb.
Noel came highly recommended by my sister, who’d had equally unpleasant experiences as a child, her high praise was well founded, and justified the long journey for each appointment. The care and attention to detail has been second to none.
Noel is both calm and calming, completely putting me at ease. He explained every single stage of the proceedings. His initial examination was lengthy and comprehensive, I was given various options and was pleased to see, I paid for treatment along the way, not in an initial one-off payment.
Noel advised me that wearing dentures since I was a child had caused rare jaw problems, top and bottom, but he has efficiently overcome all complications, with meticulous attention to detail.
I needed bottom dentures to be able to chew, NHS partial lower dentures had never worked, despite having 2 different sets. I had the implants put in; the same day I had remaining bottom teeth removed along with bone augmentation. It was a long appointment, the anaesthetic was amazing, I was awake but totally pain-free. I thought I’d been in the chair 20 minutes, but it had been much longer. Temporary dentures were fitted to click on implants. Truthfully the whole process afterwards was no more painful than a normal extraction. A soft diet afterwards was crucial. I had a couple of appointments to adjust the bottom plate while the gum was healing.
I had restorative work on top teeth, root canal, crown all were pain free, not surprising as Noel is highly skilled and experienced.
I travelled to Carlisle to Noels technician Robert Taggart, who is a master at his craft. He too spoke very highly of Noel. Initially Robert made adjustments to existing top plate, whilst bottom implants and gum healed, later he crafted the final top and bottom dentures, which both click onto implants, after the healing period.
Having had NHS dentures for over 50 years, where impressions are taken and teeth picked up on next appointment, these Gerber dentures are a revelation, so natural looking. I had no idea how much care and attention to detail would be taken to make these. There were numerous fittings with different bite points but the end result is totally worth it. They have been admired and look totally natural, as well as being more comfortable.
The whole friendly and relaxing experience put me at ease and I have already recommended Noel Perkins to others as an empathetic, highly skilled professional dentist who truly cares.
I would award the entire experience 5 out of 5
I followed Noel to Green Dental, even though it was an even longer journey , but it's absolutely worthwhile. His expertise and calming manner are second to none.
