Real patient stories from teenagers and adults who restored their confidence through our Align, Brighten & Bond approach.

01 / 12
Emergency Veneer Care

Excellent and quick service especially in these current times! I needed my veneer that had come off to be re-cemented, I sent a photo to Aarti and she responded that evening. She made an appointment for me and I was seen within 2 weeks. Very happy with the service and dental work. Highly recommended Dental center with a great cohesive and professional team!

All staff are caring and delightful. The dentist that dealt with my care was exceptionally good. She took time to discuss treatment with me and put me completely at ease. I have just had a crown fitted and am so pleased with it. Excellent treatment from very caring staff. A big thank you!

Exemplary Dental Implants

All staff are welcoming and friendly. Good attention to detail. Was well looked after during a difficult but largely pain-free extraction. A recent implant process was all done in-house in an exemplary manner. Highly recommend their routine treatment plan!

Never Had Better Teeth

Since I have been going to Andover Smiles I can honestly say that I have never had better teeth . The dentist sat down and explained everything to me from what treatment I needed and what I needed to maintain healthy teeth. Thank you to all the staff!

Best Thing For My Smile

I found them through reading great reviews on Google. The office is lovely, and the entire staff is extremely friendly. My treatment went very well, I finished the process much earlier than expected, and getting braces is the best thing I have ever done for my smile. Thank you Dr Aarti!
