After a 24 hour flight from Australia with an ongoing 9 month root canal treatment, I was in absolute agony. The treatment at home never really settled and once again flared up. Arriving in UK on the Saturday afternoon compounded the problem. We searched for a 24 hour clinic but after receiving a local tip off we decided to wait until the Church End Dental Clinic opened on the Monday. It was either that or a flight back home! Luckily there was a vacancy mid Monday morning so the team at Church End could do their work. Well, what a revelation! After filling out the personal details in the well presented reception area we were seen to, on time and very professional. After explaining the situation of the ongoing problem, the dentist performed a review and thoroughly went through all the options that was available. He even explained the outcome of treatments that would be started by them but be finally completed back in Australia. The dentist confirmed after two x-rays that there was a hairline crack in the tooth and this is the reason why the root canal treatment was not successful. I was inclined to leave the tooth as is and seek temporary relief but after discussing the eventual outcomes, a tooth extraction was really my only option. So far, the process was brilliant, professional and very thorough. My ultimate need was for a relatively painless extraction and the dentist delivered! At one stage he complained that 'my body does not want to give up this tooth' and yet the extraction was pain free. I don't know what he did, but the procedure was painless, very little trauma and the relief instant. After the extraction the dentist gave a prescription for some pain relief, a contact number for a follow up call if required so we could continue with our holiday. Well after three days the pain was minute and this was even without taking pain medication. Overall, Church End Dental Clinic was fantastic in every way. Very professional, thorough, explained all possible outcomes, supplied superb treatment in their very well presented clinic and to cap off a brilliant outcome was cheaper than a equivalent procedure in Australia. In fact, the extraction was cheaper that any of the root canal procedures back home. My only wish would be that the Church End Dental Clinic relocate and would be my preferred dental clinic in Australia!

My hygienist is a friendly helpful informative professional who is patient focused and attentive. She has explained and more important ensured that I enact the simple process of cleaning my teeth properly providing the essential yet modestly priced means to do this. It has had a great benefit and on occasions relieved me from pain after implant surgery. I recommend her and the whole practice unreservedly. Ali Khaleeli
