Dental X-rays

A dental X-ray is an X-ray imaging used to capture images of the teeth, gums, and jaws. Dental X-rays use low levels of ionising radiation to produce detailed images that allow dentists and dental specialists to evaluate oral health conditions that are not visible to the naked eye.

Dental X-rays are used to detect dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, dental abscesses, impacted teeth, and jawbone damage, among others. There are several types of dental X-rays, including bitewing X-rays, periapical X-rays, panoramic X-rays, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, each of which is used to capture different views of the teeth and surrounding structures. Dental X-rays are safe, and the amount of radiation exposure is minimal, especially with digital X-ray technology.

CBCT

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specific form of imaging that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to produce detailed 3D images of teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. CBCT has several dental applications, including:

Implant planning: CBCT can be used to plan implant placement by providing detailed 3D images of the bone structure and surrounding tissues, allowing the dentist to assess the quality and quantity of bone and plan the optimal placement of implants.
Orthodontics: CBCT can be used to assess the position of teeth and bone structure in orthodontic patients, allowing the orthodontist to plan the most effective treatment.
Endodontics: CBCT can be used to assess the extent of damage in a tooth and the surrounding bone, which can help with diagnosis and treatment planning for root canal therapy.
Oral surgery: CBCT can be used to assess the position of impacted teeth, the extent of jawbone loss, and the location of vital structures such as nerves and sinuses, allowing for safer and more accurate surgical planning.
TMJ Disorders: CBCT can be used to diagnose and evaluate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by providing detailed images of the joint and surrounding tissues.

Overall, CBCT is a valuable tool in dentistry, providing detailed 3D images that can help with diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of dental conditions.

OPG

OPG is a type of dental X-ray that provides a panoramic view of the upper and lower jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures. OPG is a non-invasive and painless diagnostic tool that helps dentists and dental specialists to evaluate dental conditions, such as impacted teeth, fractures, infections, and bone loss, among others. The OPG machine rotates around the patient’s head, capturing a single, broad image of the mouth and teeth. OPGs are commonly used in routine dental check-ups, as well as before and after dental procedures, such as orthodontic treatment and dental implant placement.

Testimonials

we love our patients

I recently visited Briars Dental Practice in Newbury and had a truly excellent experience. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome. The hygienist who saw me prior to my appointment with the dentist was very thorough and gave me some great advice on how to keep my teeth healthy.I was then seen by Richard, one of the dentists at the practice, and I have to say that he and his nurse were fantastic. They put me at ease throughout the whole procedure, were extremely professional and caring, and made sure that I was comfortable at all times. I was also impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to take the time to answer all of my questions.In fact, I was so pleased with my experience that I would also like to mention another dentist named Richard who saw me previously. He too was excellent, very thorough and professional, and I felt very well taken care of during my appointments with him.Overall, I can't recommend Briars Dental Practice highly enough. The staff are all so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and they really go above and beyond to make sure that their patients are well looked after. If you're looking for a great dental practice in Newbury, look no further than Briars.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, I am a coward when it comes to the dentist, Mr Nick French, put me at ease, and has the patience of a Saint. I would also say the dental nurse was I lovely lady who let me crush her hand while I was having my injections. I give Briars Dental Centre 10 out of 10, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I had a hygienist appointment with Jo and her nurse, Suzanne. It was the first time I’d tried GBT and found the experience much more comfortable than usual. Jo and Suzanne really put me at ease and made sure I was happy throughout the treatment. It was good being able to clearly see the areas which I needed to improve on brushing and Jo gave me great tips. Would highly recommend

After such a positive experience today with Richard I thought it only fair to delete my previous review. I am a very nervous patient and not ashamed to say I cried before my appointment. Richard and his lovely dental nurse were so understanding and treated me with kindness and empathy. Richard explained everything to me and allowed me to go at my pace. All options for my next appointment were explained to me and I now have trust in Richard that I feel I will not need full sedation. I was in alot of pain prior to my appointment today along with an enormous amount of anxiety. Richard even explained to me how to breathe when having treatment- no other dentist has ever explained that to me before!Thank you again Richard and to your lovely dental nurse.

I had my consultancy appointment with Chelsea today who looked after me very well. She was very friendly and easy to talk to and explained everything to me very nicely. And also answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease today and for future appointments. It was nice to meet you, and thank you.Glenn.

I am very pleased with the treatment I received. After another dentist had told me the tooth had to be extracted, Mr Fady Khoury managed to save the tooth. The procedure was carried out in a very efficient and professional manner and I am very happy with the outcome.

Terence Marshall

Had an appointment with Chelsea today and it went very very well. Had my scans and photos done for Invisalign, which can be a bit awkward but she made it a comfortable experience. She was very friendly, welcoming, put me at ease and asked if I had any overall questions at that stage of the process. She was knowledgeable and explained everything I asked about. It's my first time at this clinic so I'm looking forward for my second appointment to discuss treatment. Great first impression from the moment I stepped through the door! Thanks!

A very happy customer! I had quite a lot of crooked and misaligned teeth so Victoria introduced me to Invisalign. She carefully created a program to give me the smile I wanted. In the end it took longer than we had expected but Victoria very diligently took me through every step of the process and she didn’t compromise on any part of the process to ensure I got the smile and teeth alignment we both wanted. A huge thank you to her and her assistant Jen who made every effort to make me feel comfortable throughout. Highly recommended.San

My visit to Richard last week went well. He identified that x rays hadn’t been taken for 3 years, and showed me the images, interpreting the results carefully and explaining the steps that may be required as treatment. I am disappointed that I will need to have another consultation to confirm if a root canal is needed. Warning: if you do need a consultation with the endodontist, you will need to pay in advance. I couldn’t do that on the day, but I will be booking in to have this followed up as soon as I can. I will need my own teeth for many more years!

Emma Mulholland

Over the years I`ve found that the Briars delivers consistently high quality dental care and yesterday was no exception. I recieved first class root canal treatment by Dr. Richard Condon and team. Everything was explained carefully and despite my misconceptions was delivered pain free. I have no hesitation in recommending the Briars.

Mark Batten

10:42 24 Oct 23

Having just completed a course of treatment with The Briars I can strongly recommend Fady and his team. Thank you for your straightforward and thorough approach, and for providing treatment in a stress-free environment.

It was a very welcoming place at the practice with friendly staff whose knowledge was informative and comprehensive. Chelsea was very accommodating and took the time to listen my concerns and provide me with the best advice on what action to take next.

Had my Hygiene appointment yesterday with lovely Meryl and her nurse Kiera. Meryl was gentle and very thorough. She removed all the staining from my teeth and now they feel super clean. Kiera made sure that I was comfortable throughout the treatment.

I highly recommend Briars Dental Care, I can't thank them enough for my teeth, they really put me at ease especially Kody. My teeth have never been straight but over the years they got worse, and made me feel so ashamed and embarrassed by them, now I have nice straight teeth and my confidence back .

Wendy Pearson

Absolutely Excellent service, from the initial phone call with Libby at reception who was so kind, understanding and so helpful and Zoe who helped us on the phone with trying to find us appointments needed and for the amazing care and service received on arrival for treatment that this dental practice is without a doubt outstanding. Five stars is not enough!Highly recommend the briars, lovely staff and top class treatment!

Angel Greaves

13:05 07 Feb 24

I can 100% recommend this dental practice as I have been with Briars Dental Centre for a few years now. From the reception staff to the Hygenist and Dentist I have had my confidence boosted in the biggest way. The reception girls are always very professional, helpful, friendly and always make time for a little chat. If it hadn’t been for one of the girls on the reception team I would not have known about the payment plan, which is proving to be well worth it, and gives me free Hygenist and Check-ups and a reduction of 10% on other treatments. Thank you girls for that. You are all fantastic and lovely. Keep doing what you’re doing.My previous Hygenist. Aimee, was absolutely the best and I had no fear going to her. Now I have a new girl, Meryl, and she is also blooming brilliant. Thank you.My dentist, Nicola Murdoch, deserves the most praise having built up my confidence in dentists again. She even adjusts treatments according to my own personal dilemmas, like claustrophobia. She’s just the best. Thank you so much Nicola.

Debbie Huntley

15:45 28 Feb 24

Went to Briar’s for the first time today great reception from Libby who helped me fill out my medical stuff on the I pad also Chelsea who also was very helpful about the treatment I might be having looking forward to going back .

I have just completed my Invisalign treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I wish I had done it sooner! Victoria, Jen and Chelsea were fantastic throughout and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

We have received the most amazing service from Rochelle before meeting Dr Holden who will be overseeing my daughters Invisalign treatment. Very professional and approachable team we are very impressed.

Lisa Miles

10:11 08 Mar 24

I have just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr Victoria Holden, I never imagined my teeth would look this good, they are beautiful and straight and I have a glorious smile. The aligners are stress free, comfortable, easy to wear and the scanning was simple. Victoria and Jen have been amazing from start to finish responded to any questions I had. I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend this treatment to any one of any age, it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.

Charlotte Bradford

Always a good experience at the Briars from the reception team, the hygenist to the dentists themselves . Victoria is the most patient , kind and professional dentist . Highly recommended

I had a lot of discomfort from two adjacent back teeth, the slightest touch of cold drink and it got really painful. The Briars team quickly diagnosed the problem and explained the x-ray images that showed a previous different practice’s root canal had caused decay of the tooth and the adjacent one along with the surrounding bone. I was left with a few choices that were clearly explained to me, but removal of the two teeth was the option I took with an implant replacement for one of them. I was referred to Nick French, who is their implant specialist. I had a process that encouraged the bone to regrow and then the implant. Nick’s demeanour is so calming and his explanations very clear, I had no distress or discomfort at all. I recognised the techniques he uses from the manufacturing industry, they are so advanced that the replacement tooth feels exactly like the one it replaced and now my mouth feels calm for the first time in quite a while. I totally recommend The Briars Dental Centre and Nick French.

Having completed my first appointment with Amy at The Briars today I am very happy with the outcome. Everything was very well explained in detail to me and the staff were very polite and professional. Amy’s knowledge was brilliant and the technology used in the appointment was amazingly impressive. It really helped set my mind at ease and pointed me in the right direction for the rest of my treatment journey. I would highly recommend The Briars.

Jonny Paine

I’ve been using a periodontal specialist at The Briars for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed. Treatment and advice has always been top class and has certainly improved the overall health of my teeth.

My appointment with Joanna Craig was fantastic. I cannot praise the amount of care she gave and she is extremely professional Her attends to detail is evident and she made sure that I was comfortable throughout her process.

Pam Gardiner

10:47 07 May 24

The Briars Dental Surgery provides an exceptionally friendly and professional service that I would recommend to everyone. I grew up with a fear of dentists born out of difficult childhood experiences. However, I now look forward to my visits with my hygienist Jo Craig and her assistant Kasia. My Associate Dentist Nicola Murdoch provides annual check ups to ensure my overall teeth health remains in great shape. Sharmila has also taken great care of my gums with her specialist expertise. You are in wonderfully safe and caring hands at the Briars and they can cater for everything dental related.

Laurence Berry

All the staff at the Briars are lovely! Having just completed my invisalign treatment I could not be happier with the results! The process was quick and painless and the care given during the treatment was spectacular!

Jake Martin

09:29 10 May 24

Great service for a root canal treatment. Dr Richard Condon was very professional, explained everything clearly before doing and after the procedure which lasted for 2 hours. Removed a crown, treated the root canals and replaced with temporary crown. No pain during the procedure at all, just a little that day when the numbness faded. Next day almost back to normal. Great job thank you.

First appointment with Richard and Kasia yesturday. It's not my favourite place in the dentists chair but yesterday they made me feel comfortable and confident. We discussed the most suitable dental plan that was right for my needs and Richard put it in place.By the time I got home I had a email with all the information and costings. So professional and empathetic both of them.With gratitude Jo

After 30 years of constant pain in my head and shoulders I have finally found relief. A consultation with Afif lead to a swift diagnosis and a treatment that has literally changed the quality of my life. Great dentist

Victoria Anderson-Stewart

12:38 05 Sep 24

Having moved to the area 2 years ago, I was really hesitant to change dentist but I wish I did it sooner! Richard and team are truly incredible, they make me feel a part of the process and I always come out smiling.Many past experiences throughout my childhood meant the going to the dentist was often anxiety provoking, often ending up in anxiety attacks. I now (dare say) look forward to going to the dentist and feel more calm than I ever had so thank you Richard!I have recently had an onlay fitted and am beyond happy with the whole process and final outcome - you can’t even tell it’s there!Would highly recommend coming to the Briars 💖

Abbie Trussler

16:03 19 Sep 24

Fantastic dental practice. Very well equipped with the latest treatments available combined with warm, friendly staff and a very professional service. Definitely the best experience that I’ve ever had with a dental practice, would highly recommend.

10:11 02 Oct 24

I was recently booked in for an appointment with Amy to discuss Invisalign treatment. On arrival, reception staff were lovely and directed me to really nice and homely waiting room! Amy was so great, she made the appointment relaxed and friendly and took me through how Invisalign works and made sure I understood everything. At the end of the appointment she wasn’t pushy with me to get started and pay for treatment. She even emailed me a finance calculator so I could go away and think about what I wanted to do and how I would pay for it. Really lovely place and staff, highly recommend 😊

Steph Adams

I had 4 tooth implants in all, with the work being done to a very standard with great care by Nick French and his team, and I'm very happy with the results.

Mark Thompson

I have been visiting the Briars for many years and it is really good inevery way. Whilst visiting a dentist is not usually considered a great place to be, The Briars has a way of making it much easier that you think it will be. The Two treatments I had today were with Richard and Meryl who were both were more than kind, helpful and clear in their explanations. Thank you both so much.

Richard Dalgleish

15:55 20 Nov 24

Always a 5 Star service from The Briars in all areas of expertise from dentistry and hygienists. A testament to this is how long we have stayed loyal to the practice as patients. My mother’s been coming for 70 years and as her daughter I’ve been a patient for 40 years. In that time I’ve only had 4 dentists which shows the longevity of the employees. Thank you The Briars for all you do to keep our teeth healthy 👍🏻

Sally Wilson

22:43 10 Dec 24

I have been attending The Briars Dental Centre for a couple of years and cannot praise their expertise enough. Yesterday Dr. Lilleker prepared a back tooth for a crown. Although the treatment was lengthy, at no time did I feel hurried and had complete confidence in his professionalism, ability and care. Furthermore, the premises are laid out very well. Parking in my experience, has never been a problem, first class cleaners internally cannot be faulted, the reception staff always seem pleased to see patients and listen to them and the external grounds are always tidy. What more could anyone want?

Christine Fairbrother

09:23 09 Jan 25

I popped into the dentist today as my car had broken down outside and was being fixed, I wanted to borrow the loo and the lovely ladies on reception were so accommodating, they made myself and the AA mechanic a coffee each to warm us up! They're a credit to the practice 🙏❤️

Cara Doyle

15:32 09 Jan 25

Changed dentists due to relocating to a new area and chose Briars not only from the online reviews but also the appearance of the clinic. From first view to going inside I was taken back by how professional it all looked and felt and the friendliness of the staff was warm and welcoming. I was in for my first consultation before any treatment was undertaken and a big thanks and special mention to Chelsea (Consultation Technician) for not only having a friendly and upbeat manner but explaining everything in such detail and with a calmness that I was instantly at ease and knew I had chosen the right place. For anyone who may be anxious about going to the dentist I can't recommend Briars highly enough.

Nigel Keyte

15:58 06 Feb 25

I brought an Invisalign treatment for my wife. Their level of service is fantastic, from the initial consultation, throughout the treatment and the follow up care. Easy to contact, great communication and very informative. I highly recommend them.

Mr Skinner

18:57 10 Feb 25

Have been going to the Briars for years and can’t recommend them highly enough. I am thrilled with the work that I have recently had done by Richard Lilleker and his nurse Agata who are both extremely professional and work fantastically as a team. Thank you so much.

victoria pugh

11:51 18 Feb 25

I’ve recently started treatment here and have to say, their attention, customer care and respect is spot on. I’ve previously attended the same dentist for nearly 40 years until they retired so not an easy transition to make. Nick and Kasia are highly skilled at what they do but very obviously care about their patients wellbeing at the same time. Thank you for making me feel at ease and confident in your care.

21:43 22 Feb 25

I've used the Briars for years for myself and my three boys and always found everyone to be kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable.My middle son, Arthur, who's now 13, has always really disliked his teeth as they are quite small with gaps. Over time our dentist, Afif, made a plan with him to add some composite bonding to his front four teeth. This meant Arthur had minimal intervention and preserved the integrity of his teeth, which was super important to me as he's still only young and growing, but gave Arthur the changes he needed to give him more confidence in his smile.We're completely overjoyed with the result, it's made the world of difference to how Arthur feels about himself and he's really pleased he had it done.The composite bonding was really reasonably priced and gives us the options of doing more as he grows and becomes an adult if we wish.Afif has been great throughout, talking both me and Arthur through his plan so we're both reassured about the process.I also wanted to mention how great Meryl is, she is the hygienist me and my three boys all use. My youngest son is quite nervous about the dentist and finds it tricky but she is so kind and caring with him and taken the time to build up trust over a number of appointments that now he feels a lot easier with her.I'd not hesitate to recommend the Briars to anyone.

Caroline Sturgess

09:33 19 Mar 25

Honestly the best experience I have EVER had with any dentist and I’m no youngster! Dr Afif Hanif was amazing. I am such a nervous patient but he completely put me at my ease and I ended up having a small filling which I have needed for the past 18 months - thank you. I will definitely be back

Mandy Laurence

15:46 25 Mar 25

I had such a wonderful experience during my recent hygiene appointment with Amiee Mosher and Kasia Pike. From the moment I arrived, I felt so well looked after. Amiee was incredibly gentle, thorough, and professional throughout, she explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. Kasia was equally warm and welcoming, and together they make a fantastic team. My teeth have never felt cleaner, and I genuinely left with a smile on my face. Thank you both for such brilliant care, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you! ⭐️

Kasia Crawford

08:28 08 Apr 25

My children love visiting the centre to see Dr Hanif. His care and passion is exceptional. Not only does he provide an educational and positive experience, but he builds a comfortable and relaxing environment. My children feel at ease throughout and he has a wonderful way of engaging patients at the right level to ensure the appointment is effective and enjoyable. As a parent, I could not ask for more. I'm included throughout the appointment and he has provided a great foundation for oral care through his approach and advice, which has the children very excited and motivated to continue.This level of professionalism and care extends throughout Briars. My family have always felt welcomed by this very knowledgeable and engaging team.

Lee Clarke

00:55 19 Apr 25

It's been a long time since I've been to the dentist but I visited Briars today for an emergency appointment and I couldn't have asked for better care. I've quite literally walked out of other dentists because the welcome was so cold and scary I just couldn't imagine going there for treatment but from my initial enquiry to my treatment everyone was really friendly and made me feel a little more at ease.My dentist was Richard and he explained everything clearly, and didn't make me feel any worse than I already did about my oral health. He was no nonsense but also empathetic and I really appreciated the care given.This was just the beginning of a long road ahead in terms of dental care but I definitely feel like I'll be in safe hands when returning to The Briars.Would highly recommend to anyone look for a new dentist. I know cost can also be a huge factor in choosing a dentist and I also felt like that was explained clearly and with understanding.

Eleanor Skinner

11:47 20 May 25

Thank you to all the staff at Briars for their patience and understanding. The treatment plan was fully explained by the dentist Supriti. Surpriti was professional and gave me confidence to reach my outcome.The Hygienist Monica was professional and made feel comfortable. Provided excellent treatment and advise.

Maria Paterson

14:37 17 Jun 25

Not my dentist but I was sent here for a CT scan which my own dentist could not do. My first impressions were a friendly and efficient reception team who were expecting me. I had hardly sat down in the lovely cosey waiting room when I was called by Amy for my scan. Super friendly and efficient! Back in the waitingroom while I waited for my results I was chatting to another paient who had been with them for years. He could not praise the team enough. I know if I have any need to switch dentist Briars will be my first port of call! Thankyou to all the team and keep up the good work :0)

Ginny Chandler

07:46 20 May 25

I highly recommend Briars practice. I was recently seen by the lovely Meryl and her nurse Agatha. Meryl was gentle and very thorough, and made me feel comfortable. Agatha made sure that I was comfortable throughout the treatment. When I had a follow up question during my second appointment, Meryl promptly got back to me and provided all the necessary advice. The receptionists are always so attentive and helpful. Dr Richard is our family dentist and he is also very patient, extremely knowledgeable and professional. I couldn't recommend them more.

Nathalia De Leeuw Van Weenen

20:47 26 Aug 25

Excellent practice. Super thorough and professional. We migrated to The Briars to deal with a filling in my then-6-year-old's tooth which our previous practice wanted to refer to an NHS hospital. Nicholas French was able to do it with no pain, no fuss and not anaesthetic needle! Remarkable skill. I've been prompted to leave a review after a few years here as my tween/teen girls had such a positive experience with Richard Lilleker yesterday: He was so good with them. Gave them some robust feedback on brushing (!) and was thoroughly jolly and upbeat. They bounced out of the surgery. Thank you all at The Briars.

Tiffany Roy

09:35 03 Sep 25

I phoned as an emergency as I had chipped my front tooth whilst ironically eating a tortilla chip.I had the most wonderful dentist. I had to have an injection which is never pleasant but the rest of the visit was. I really didn’t feel a thing and her new techniques were so modern that I really didn’t have an ounce of discomfort. When she had finished my front tooth looked better than before I chipped it.I usually hate going to the dentist but I immediately asked if I could switch to her as my dentist and have booked a check up for two week’s time. I could not think of a better way to spend a large amount of money. 🤣

Melanie Cottingham

18:07 25 Jul 25

I have been going to The Briars ever since I’ve had teeth! They have always looked after me well. As a youngster I had some orthodontic work done, and they arranged for me to have my wisdom teeth out too.Recently I have been seeing Afif Hanif, and he is excellent! I still have a milk (baby) tooth at almost 58! But it had become significantly discoloured and cracked, so he has just covered it with a simple veneer and it looks amazing! Thank you so much! Not only is Afif friendly, and kind, but he came up with an inexpensive, supportive and aesthetically pleasing solution for my poor old baby tooth! Great work! Thank you very much. xRuth DuffyPS. I now travel just short of an hour, to still come here, because they’re worth it!

Ruth Duffy

I am a new patient at The Briars and have been very impressed with the thorough and comprehensive introduction that I have received, firstly with Amy to look at my dental history and then with Nicola Murdoch, my new dentist. Nicola has spent time reviewing my records and has advised me about treatment going forward with great care and attention to detail. Before my first treatment Nicola explained what she was going to do before proceeding and the process was comfortable and relaxed. I have also been most impressed by the range of scanning and diagnostic technology used at The Briars and feel that my future dental health is in good hands.

The Briars is a well established practice that our families have used over several generations. The quality of dental care & support received over many decades has been & continues to be first class. Thank you.

Choosing a dentist is overwhelming but I’m glad I found The Briars. When I walk in for any appointment, the front desk team make me feel welcome. They’re friendly and warm and it’s impressive how the receptionist remembers and asks about small things I mentioned at previous visits - it’s these thoughtful details that help make the whole experience better.The dentists themselves never make me feel rushed and I always leave feeling like I’ve been given clear guidance and honest advice with no pressure. Even when I’ve had to see someone different for an emergency appointment, I feel reassured knowing the whole team is experienced and professional.While it can get a bit pricey, I truly believe it’s worth the investment and I highly recommend the practice.

I don’t normally write reviews,nor do I like going to the dentist, however this has changed after going to the Briars.The receptionists, Naeema and Ila, greeted me from the first appointment with a friendly smile and a cheerful greeting. The correspondence I have had with them has been timely,well written and clear to understand.They are a great front of house team for the Briars.Chelsea, Shamila and Afif have , in their own areas of expertise , addressed my dental needs in an open, honest and professional manner. Not only do I feel in safe and capable hands but I look forward to forthcoming visits.

It can be a bit of a minefield when considering choosing the best option for dental work. Since the first time I spoke to the team at Briars, they have been superb. Amy was very supportive and informative of the options available, and Victoria and the team have delivered exactly what they said they would. I am over halfway through the process of having straighter, whiter teeth and have absolutely made the right choice with choosing Briars. Don’t be tempted by significantly cheaper alternatives! Highly recommend.

Nikki has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish in dealing with my dental situation and with the treatment I have needed to reconcile it. She has replaced the chip on the front of my tooth, which has been causing me huge anxiety for numerous years now, and the work she has done is beyond fantastic. You would never know that new composite was not my real tooth, and her talent, ability and work is truly marvellous. Nikki herself has also been calm, kind, and utterly professional in all that she has done for me and I am hugely grateful for her support. I feel extremely lucky to have her looking after me and I could not recommend her more highly. THANK you.

As a very nervous patient I've put off the dentist for a long time. I choose Briars because of their facilities and the service has been incredible. No judgement for your fear, the team are so kind and supportive, and work with you to resolve issues and help with anxiety, even when you get overwhelmed.I honestly can not recommend them enough, from reception onwards the staff are fantastic, and with such incredible facilities, its great being able to have all work done in one place.

I really appreciate the professional care and attention given by dentist Afif Hanif and hygienist Meryl Colley.As someone who finds attendance at the dentist slightly nerve racking, my hygienist appointment with Meryl is gentle, thorough, the procedures are discussed and you are kept informed about what is happening.Afif has a wealth of knowledge, is very professional, efficient, friendly and always puts you at ease. It is a very reassuring process.Thank you

I’ve just had a hygienist appointment with Aimee and Kasia and would highly recommend them. Aimee was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to share some great, practical tips to improve my brushing technique and overall oral health. Both were professional, friendly, and made the appointment feel relaxed and thorough. A really positive experience. Thank you.

As a very nervous patient, I have found all the staff at the Briars gentle, friendly and willing to take the time to explain what treatments I need and what is involved. I also very much appreciate the advice they have given me on ways to improve my oral health. I'm glad I took that first step of walking in one door to book a consultation.

I have always received the highest level of dental care from the whole Briars team. Every stage of your treatment is clearly and patiently explained, and I believe that this reassuring approach removes the anxiety that some people feel about oral care. Briars also use the very latest 3D scanning technology, in perfect harmony with their traditional dental craftsmanship.

Meryl at Briars is a brilliant hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth the cleaning using the warm water system is such a game changer in terms of comfort. Very professional team. Thorough and proactive. Would highly recommend.
