Dental Implants Westminister Abbey

I have been going to see Chris at Hermes Dental with issues with the same tooth for the last 12 months. I am terrified of dentists, so only go if I have to. Chris is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. His calm, professional manner and explanation of everything he is doing/going to do helped my anxiety at every appointment. Last February time I opted for a filling to fix the issue to begin with, but was told that it may not work. I knew the risk of choosing this option. Lo and behold, 2 days before Christmas I had to book an emergency appt for the same tooth. I had 2 options, Extraction or Root Canal. Both were just as terrifying as the other but opted for the root canal. I knew this option would be the most expensive but it was better than removing the tooth. During this visit, I had a meltdown, tears, uncontrollable shaking, the works! Chris was so patient with me and did not rush back into the chair. The shaking and tears continued throughout the procedure but this is by far no reflection on Chris as a dentist, just my fear of them. To make things easier, we did the root canal over 7 weeks and today was my final visit to have the crown fitted. Spreading the treatments over 7 weeks also made it easier on the purse strings. A root canal is not cheap, but I would have rather paid the money to someone who knows what they are doing and has the most incredible bedside manner than go somewhere on the cheap. Everything about Hermes is inviting (as much as a dentist can be). Their receptionist (forget her name) is such a lovely girl. It’s nice to be greeted with a friendly smile when you are scared! She would happily talk to you which in turn calmed me down before going in. Their dental nurses aren’t rough with you and it doesn’t smell like dentists normally do! I couldn’t be happier with my choice of dentists, and luckily this one was just across the road. I cannot express this enough, Hermes is such a great dental practice and Chris is a credit to their team. We weren't just a number to Chris. He remembered conversations from previous visits, and genuinely cared, which is a rare quality in some health professionals. All I can say is Thank You to Chris and the team around him and although I hope I never see him again (nothing personal), I would book back with him in an instant if I had any further issues.

Dr Haidar is outstanding dental professional, he will go above and beyond duty to help his patients. Transparency and openness in care for the patient is clearly visible throughout the whole of the practice. Thank you for making me comfortable and at ease before my treatments. I would highly recommend Dr. Haidar Dental Practice without any hesitation .

Necessities in life are to have a good GP, dentist and hygienist but in today’s life it’s very rare , so when you find one you don’t want to let go . It’s now 14 years since Danka became my hygienist and I was saddened when she left my local surgery in Finchley , but I did not hesitate to follow her to SW1 . She is an exceptional hygienist, so thorough a perfectionist. She doesn’t leave a tooth unturned. Always gentle, caring, proud of her work and looks after your well-being. She encapsulates everything you would want.

I went to see Dr Nikolaos Kasiteridis at Forest and Ray as I was having complex problems with some upper teeth, including a front tooth, a difficult situation for anyone! I am extremely grateful to Dr Nikolaos who was a marvel; he went the extra mile for me as a dentist who wants the best possible outcome for his patient’s health, at the same time incorporating high technical ability with cosmetic expertise. I can safely say that Dr Nikolaos excels in all these areas, his wealth of experience and long service to the practice speak for themselves, and he is a real professional. He digs deep to do the best he can with any of your dental problems. He has helped me in so many ways to overcome my fears and complexes in relation to my teeth. I’m aware that I can be a difficult and fussy patient to deal with and Dr Nikolaos has managed to help with my issues in a calm and professional manner. So, if you are thinking of a dentist who incorporates technical excellence with integrity, and also extremely importantly, a sympathetic response to difficulties that can seem overwhelming, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Nikolaos and his excellent team. You will find that all their suggestions for your treatment are based on a genuine desire to help you in every possible way, as I did!
