Having been so down, conscious and miserable about my teeth over the last 10 years I decided to visit Mark Durnall at Pure Dental. From the minute I entered the premises I felt at ease as all the girls on reception were so lovely! After my consultation with Mark it became apparent I needed to have quite extensive work of implants and crowns. I was absolutely terrified!! Having been to the practice several times now and most of the works have been done I can honestly say that I didn’t feel a thing! Mark is a figure of true professionalism and his team are a real credit to him! Always smiling! Meanwhile, I’m always smiling, he’s done such an amazing job I can’t stop staring at them! Can’t believe these teeth are mine! I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark and his team to anyone, he’s simply changed my life!

Family and friends that I see regularly can’t believe that they’re not real teeth, because they look so real and they also like the confidence it’s given me, everybody mentions that, and everybody also mentions I always used to walk with a stoop, I don’t anymore, my shoulders are back because I’m free again. Definitely go to Mark at Pure Dental because you won’t be frightened from the minute you meet his team because I was the most nervous patient you could ever wish to meet.
