I have been terrified of the dentist since I was 18 and avoided going for years. Over time my teeth got worse and I even developed a real complex about my breath. Eventually, I was in agony with a wisdom tooth and knew I had no choice but to find help.
I came across Andrew Lee Dentist after reading so many positive reviews from people who, like me, hated the dentist but felt comfortable here. I took the plunge and called — they managed to fit me in the very same day with Harveer. From the moment I sat down, I felt comfortable and reassured. I trusted him so much that I agreed to have my wisdom tooth removed there and then! The staff were polite, supportive, and calming throughout.
Since then, I’ve started a full treatment plan. In just over four weeks, I’m already nearly halfway through my work. They are replacing my old silver fillings with white ones (which I’m so happy about!) and everything has been handled with so much care. Even though my treatment isn’t finished yet, I already feel so much more confident, and for the first time in years I’m starting to overcome my dental phobia.
Honestly, Harveer — I know I’m very quiet in the chair, but I want to say how much I appreciate your patience and support. You’ve made such a difference to my confidence, and that means the world to me.
Today I also had my first ever scale and polish with Timothy Rhodes and his assistant, and they were just as fantastic. They checked in constantly, gave me breaks when I needed them, and offered really helpful advice on looking after my teeth, gums, and hygiene. I left feeling looked after and positive, which is something I never thought I’d say about the dentist.
If you’re nervous or scared like I was — honestly, just bite the bullet and go. I can’t thank Andrew Lee enough for being so kind, patient, and understanding. I finally feel like I’m on the right track with my dental health.
When my teeth are done, I’ll share some photos :)
