I was introduced to Appledore Dental Clinic in Binfield by my husband in 1993 when I was acutely dental phobic having lived through sixties dentistry (the 'drill it and fill it' brigade) and was terrified of undergoing even the simplest of treatments.

However, the relaxing atmosphere and the wonderful reception by Dr. Teresa Day and the staff put me at my ease, and I was very gradually persuaded that my fears were unfounded.

I have had numerous dental problems, the worst being an accident at work where several of my teeth were shattered and had to be removed.

Dr Day replaced the teeth with titanium implants, but for someone who was terrified of the dentist this was an ordeal of enormous proportions.

My wellbeing was paramount throughout and what was an extremely traumatic time was made much easier to cope with.

I am now able to visit the dentist without fear and am going to have my teeth whitened to complete my transformation.

I can't recommend Dr Day, her staff and Appledore Dental Clinic highly enough - this is state of the art dentistry as it should be - a pleasure to visit.
