Gum Disease Treatment |Gingivitis|Formby|Liverpool

Gum Disease- what is it and do you have it?

Gum disease is the most common disease present in the adult population of the UK with approximately three quarters of adults having some element of it at any one time.

WHAT IS GUM DISEASE?

Gum disease is equivalently the same as a bacterial infection affecting the gums and most importantly the bone which support the teeth.

Your mouth is naturally full of bacteria (around 700 different types- some more damaging than others), which stick to the tooth surfaces creating a coating known as plaque. It is this soft bacteria in plaque that is the most damaging. If left undisturbed by daily brushing the bacteria produce toxins which attack the gums and bone around the teeth. The body then responds just like anywhere else in your body to try and kill the bacteria, but this reponse which is the inflammation (hence bleeding gums) can then cause damage itself. As the bacteria is on the surface of the tooth the body cannot get to it and kill it, so if you do not prevent or treat gum disease the damage simply builds up and worsens over time causing the bone to gradually shrink away. This is why it only becomes apparent in middle to old age; unless you are part of the population who is more susceptible to bone loss, or have a more severe response when younger. This progression is why it is vital to see a dentist and hygienist at regular intervals so your gums and bone levels can be checked and any disease stabilised to prevent tooth loss over time.

Dan at Azure and all the wonderful dental nurses and receptionists are extremely professional and friendly. I am over the moon with my new smile after having braces for the last 7 months. I couldnt recommend them enough! Thank you, thank you!!

Azure Dental has restored my smile again! What a pleasant place to have dental treatment. From the moment I entered, I was welcomed with a warm smile by Nurse Sharnie. It felt nice to be treated like a person rather than a patient. Dr Chiggs was very calm and understanding with all my concerns. Considering I have not had much dental treatment before, I was anxious about the pain aspect. However, rest assured Dr Chiggs had the most gentle, midas touch and I can't recall any pain or discomfort during the whole procedure! In fact with some R&B classics playing in the background, it was all quite a calming and pleasant experience. I can't thank Dr Chiggs and Sharnie enough for what they have done for my confidence!

I had ice braces here at Azure Dental and have had the best experience. when I first came I was embarrassed about showing my teeth. I would smile with my mouth closed to make sure they didn't show. Today I had my braces off and I am so happy its unreal, I can't stop looking at them :). Dan and the team have been great all the way through my treatment and explained everything each time I came. They made me feel welcome and at ease. Thank you again so much for my new smile, you really have given me confidence.

I was very very nervous about going to the dentist until I met Dan and his team at Azure Dental. We all went for an adventure of sorting out my teeth,which I am now thankful for as they now look amazing. The whole team from the receptionist to the dental nurses is first class,each individual helped,supported and put me at ease during visits and treatments. Dan is fabulous and always explains everything he is going to do on each session. The biggest bonus is I didn’t feel a thing,no pain what so ever.Highly recommend Azure Dental

Lynn Prescott

Huge THANK YOU to Dan and the team for the hard work, had my braces taken off today, words can't describe how happy I am, and so glad that I went to Azure Dental that was reccomended to me by a friend, the treatment only took 7 months and the results are amazing! I'm loving my new smile 😁🌟

Absolutely amazing service from Dan and the team. Anyone who is terrified of the dentist-Dan is the man. Never felt so at ease and everything is explained in great detail. No embarrassment about any dental problems-all staff want to help. Check them out should you need a fab 5* dentist and dental team.

Little disappointed at the small range of gins at reception but this was largely made up by the switch-off button on the music system playing Dan singing the 1994 hit by Green Day, Pulling Teeth.

I can highly recommend Azure Dental Formby . I have had general dentistry work and just had composite bonding on my front teeth which I am over the moon with. I am a very nervous patient but Dan and his Team are very caring and patient and put me at ease and explain everything. I have recommended Azure to my friends and family who are also more than happy with Azure. Best Dentist I have been to and will continue . Brilliant !!! And Thankyou for giving me my confidence back.

I had my free consultation today with Ella and her team and I can honestly say that I have never had such a welcoming team at a dentist before. From entering the clinic the reception team were lovely and even helped to complete the registration for me as I have a medical condition that affects both arms so she completed it on the i-pad instead. Then I had a full check up including x-rays and reference photographs which included pricing for braces. Everyone was lovely, friendly and professional and I will definitely be back! C x

After having dental traumas in the past this dentist practice has made me feel so reassured, calm and looked after. After having treatment I even received a follow up call 24 hrs later, on a Sunday, now that is a service 👌. I myself a ward sister of 17years in the NHS would recommend this practice. The staff are professional, efficient and so understanding ( my fear of the dentist), it is a clean, and very friendly environment

I can not recommend Dan Hines enough, I’ve just finished my orthodontic treatment and I am absolutely thrilled with my results. He’s a brilliant dentist and his nurse Becky is fantastic too both so friendly, patient and genuinely lovely people. I did my research before choosing which dentist I would like to take on my case and I chose Dan as he is one of the most precise, thorough dentists I know. Both him and Becky have been so professional and welcoming throughout my whole treatment, explaining every stage and answering any of my concerns. If your looking for a brilliant dentist that is so down to earth and puts you at ease Dan is your man! Thank you so much for all your help!

I live on a narrow boat and continually cruise the UK’s inland waterways....I am also terrified of dentists. When I say terrified, I say it without exaggeration. So terrified am I, that I had spent the twelve months prior to seeing Dan and his team, eating paracetamol like they were Smarties. My husband and I where moored in Maghull, when he declared enough was enough and dragged me (kicking and screaming) by train, to Azure Dental. My initial consultation confirmed what I had suspected, I needed four teeth removed. I can not begin to explain my abject fear at that prospect. Dan was lovely, kind and truly sensitive. He reassured me that I would feel no pain and he was 100% right, doing everything to ensure that result. Consequently, I returned to this practice and followed through with my treatment, each time my fear abating. My boat is now moored in Market Harborough (East Midlands). I travelled for two hours by train to Manchester and then drove an hour to have Dan and his hygienist complete my treatment.Big shout out to the lovely young blonde woman who held my hand initially and her dark haired colleague (sorry I don’t know either of your names) who helped me remain calm and relaxed for the rest of my treatment. I truly appreciated both of you. XDan, I will see you again. Thank you most sincerely.

Azure dental team are very friendly and professional, I have been going there for 7 years with a very unusual dental problem (MMP) and highly recommend them. Now a pensioner I have been to a number of dentists over the years, none of them compare to the attention to detail and the patients requirements that Dan and his team give.

Dan and all the team are exceptional! I had invisaligns set up with Dan, and his care and attention to detail is fantastic. Every step of the way Dan was available to advise and answer questions. I live in Barcelona but because of the great service at Azure Dental I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else, the service does what it says on the tin and really is " Painfree" Delighted with all the results. Thanks Azure Dental team!!

I live in Liverpool but regularly drive to Formby to attend Azure. I've been a patient at Azure for almost 4 years. I initially went for a free Invisalign assessment. Dan was very thorough in his assessment, and his passion for Dentistry was clearly evident. This convinced me to go ahead with full Invisalign treatment. I am extremely happy with the final result and have managed to convince two family members to sign up for full Invisalign treatment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Azure dental.

I have always been more than nervous of going the dentist. Ella extracted a tooth and done hygiene treatment on my teeth. I would certainty recommend her as it was a pain free appointment one I had not experienced at other dentist's. I will be much more at ease at my next appointment. A BIG thank you to Ella and Azure 😆😆😆xx

I am half way through implant treatment with Dan who was highly recommended to me by a friend. I have been extremely impressed with the care I have received. I was nervous as I needed implant surgery following an accident. Dan totaly put me at my ease and I never experianced any pain or discomfort during the implant and bone grafting procedure. Dan takes all the time you need to explain procedures to you and answer all your questions. If you are not sure or worried about possible treatment - go along for a consultation as I can highly recommend Dan!

Cathy Hughes

I'm in the last few months of my treatment and my expectations have been blown away....Dan is a great dentist and a lovely man...his whole team are professional and friendly and I could not be happier.

I am so pleased that I joined Azure Dental's easy payment plan 2 years ago. It is a joy to be able to go to the dentist and not have to worry about paying. Dan is "the smiling dentist" par excellance! He has a genuine concern for me & my teeth, & I know that I am in safe hands. Likewise, with his hygienist staff - always very thorough & professional. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

Judy Riley

11:16 14 Sep 17

As a nervous patient I have always struggled to keep up with my dental care but on my first visit to Azure a woman who was just leaving said to me that I would be fine. Dan is brilliant she said and she was right. My teeth were in quite a state as I had not visited a dentist in years. He reassured me and explained everything and the whole experience was so much better than I was expecting.That was a couple of years ago now and I no longer dread going to the dentist. Dan and all his team do a great job.

Lin Nelson

09:04 14 Sep 17

On arrival at Azure Dental I immediately got a good vibe about the place. The receptionist was very friendly and the surroundings very modern without being clinical. Dan the dentist was also very friendly and welcoming. The consultation process consisted of a brief chat getting know my dental history and my needs and concerns, followed by a thorough examination of my mouth. Dan was very honest with his assessment and I felt assured that he was more concerned about my requirements and was not out to make money by providing unnecessary treatment. Overall I couldn't fault my visit and thoroughly recommend Azure.

John Phythian

07:10 13 Sep 17

I visited Azure after some awful treatment from an NHS dentist. I was nervous and apprehensive due to the treatment of my previous dentist but I need'nt worry, Azure were fab! They helped me put a treatment plan together, and sorted my pain from an infection out right away. Root canal treatment followed and Elaine was so good, she put me at ease all the time. I am booked in for more treatment with them and am going to stick with Azure for the foreseeable future! Thanks to the whole team x

I've been with this dental practice for just over a year. The team who work there are really friendly and helpful and my dentist Dan Hines is great and very professional. Very welcoming atmosphere (not your typical dentists). I have had various procedures there including fillings and a tooth extraction and I didn't feel a thing. I have been very happy with my experience there and would recommend them to anyone.

From previous experience I know how important it is to get the right dentist. Dan is the best dentist I have ever been to. I had extensive treatment over a few months; it was pain free and I am really, really pleased with the end result. From the first appointment, Dan explained all the options available and explained each phase step by step. Most of all I always felt that Dan cared about getting it right and was concerned that I was happy with the results. The atmosphere at this practice is calm and relaxing and the staff are welcoming. I would highly recommend this practice.

Excellent customer service and genuinely nice people. After a lot of research and a number of consultations I chose Dan for my Six Month Smile and he didn't disappoint, quick and efficient. I have since needed a couple of minor repairs to my retainer, on the first occasion I was concerned it was going to be very expensive but it wasn't it was a reasonable amount which reaffirmed my opinion. Highly recommended!

I was recommended to go for an assessment to Azure Dental. I have had some terrible experiences with dentists over a lifetime of difficulties with my teeth and I was a little sceptical. However from the moment I walked in I was treated brilliantly. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The consultation with Dan was the most thorough I have ever experienced. He is fastidious, obviously extremely knowledgable and competent. In addition he was polite, caring and courteous. He was able to make a difficult diagnosis with care and accuracy. I have no hesitation in recommending them. I shall be staying with them now I have found them.

An excellent first visit to Azure dental practice. I was seen by Dan who explained everything in detail. The examination was thorough Dan explained all my options in detail. Emma was warm and friendly too and the whole experience was enjoyable, which isn't usually something I would say about a dentist. I will definitely be going back.

Absolutely perfect... Cannot believe how well the implant looks and feels .Well done team !! Despite the amount of attention required , I don't think I've ever had such a painfree dental experience in my life. "Dan's the Man" Thank you so much and your super duper assistant . Didn't quite appreciate her raving about Costa toast though, when my stomach was screaming for me to try out my new tooth on anything at all, ha ha .

Saw Dan for the first time today. I was losing my mind with worry, he put me at ease explaining all and I felt re assured and very comfortable. Even with all my treatments to come which have been discussed, I felt ready to take it all on and finally feel good about my teeth. Thanks Dan! 🙂

I have always suffered from gum infections leading to receding gums and ultimately loss of teeth. I have a very unreasonable fear of dentist. I attended Azure for a consultation which was very thorough . I was assured that my fear would be treated with respect. My next appointment went absolutely superb. I have another appointment in the near future and I am not feeling the fear! Would absolutely recommend Azure to anyone.

Iam currently undergoing treatment with Dan and his team and can't thank them enough. I was so apprehensive and nervous regarding dentists but no more after visiting Azure. They really do put you at ease and endeavour to make your treatment pain free. If you have a dentist phobia Dan and his team are well worth a visit.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?

Simply- any bleeding from the gums (when brushing or not) is the sign of active disease. The more bleeding that occurs when brushing, and bleeding that occurs just by itself means it is even more active. If allowed to progress then it can develop into increased swelling and soreness from the gums with a bright red appearance to them.

The disease development is split into 2 main stages- gingivits and periodontitis.

Gingivitis-

This is the most common form of gum disease- inflammed and bleeding gums. Treatment of the early stages of gum disease is very straight forward and treated gingivitis prevents the disease moving onto the next stage of periodontal disease.

Periodontitis-

Long-standing gingivitis can then turn into periodontal disease. There are a number of types of periodontal disease that affect the bone supporting the teeth. Aggressive disease can occur in younger people causing significant bone loss around specific teeth. Chronic long standing disease affects the majority of people meaning the disease progresses over time depending on how susceptible each person is to the bone loss element of the disease process. As the disease gets worse the bone anchoring the teeth in the jaw is lost, making the teeth loose. If this is not treated, the teeth may eventually fall out.

Can I Prevent Gum Disease?- Can it be treated?

In virtually every case the answer is yes. With good oral hygiene using an electiric toothbrush to brush your teeth, interdental brushes and flossing will prevent the plaque building up. Visit your dentist regularly for screening to ensure any gum disease is found at an early stage. To assess the presence of any disease they will use a periodontal probe to see if you have bleeding present, and in which areas, combined with any amount of bone loss present. Once the level of disease has been assessed a plan of action for your gum disease treatment can be put into action. Initially this will usually involve multiple hygienist visits for professional teeth cleaning and root planing if indicated. More importantly it will include extensive advice on the different oral hygiene methds and techniques that are available today, to help you remove the plaque on your teeth day to day. There is no one size fits all as each person is different- and so what size brush/ inter-dental aid suits one person may be totally wrong for the next. Your plan will be bespoke to you and your mouth.

The success and then more importantly long term stability of any gum disease treatment is dependent on you; and the time, care and attention you give to good oral health each and every day. This combined with regular maintenance visits usually on a 3 monthly basis with the hygienist to monitor the stability and prevent any reoccurance of the gum disease. While also encouraging you to keep up with the day to day regime required.

Common gum disease questions-

Does smoking make gum disease worse?

The effects of smoking increases the speed of the disease and the damage that occurs to the bone with while at the same time making the outwardly visible aspects less noticeable by reducing any bleeding from the gums significantly. Therefore the presence of gum disease is often not recognised until teeth are becoming loose and alot of serious damage has already been done.

Do I get gum disease when pregnant?

No- this is an old wives tale from years gone by.

Simply, it is your bodies response to the already existing gum disease present in your mouth. Your response to the bacterial plaque is increased significantly by the extra hormones going around the body during this time. It is known as “pregnancy gingivits” and so excellent gum health and preventative care and monitoring of your gum tissue is important during this time.

Bad Breath

Bad breath can be a sign of chronic advanced gum disease with the main cause being poor oral hygiene, with plaque and debris allowed to build up between the teeth.

Can antibiotics cure gum disease?

Unfortunately there is no magic pill for this disease. An antibiotic can only help in situations of acute infections or in very localised sites around a tooth with a periodontal chip or paste.

If you have bleeding gums, receeding gums or loose teeth, call us now for a Consultation- we can help you save your teeth.

The latest modern research has also linked gum disease with an increased risk of heart disease , and more recently with low birth weight babies.

Gingivial Gum Veneers- a cosmetic solution

If you have sufferred with gum disease over time then you may well have receeded gums and be looking “long in the tooth”, with dark spaces between the teeth where the gum and bone used to be. For some people this causes a cosmetic issue for which there used to be no simple solution. A different type of veneer treatment has been developed for the gums; in which a soft silicone mask is made to go into the dark spaces and cover the necks of the teeth transforming the overall appearance when smiling.

Azure Dental has restored my smile again! What a pleasant place to have dental treatment. From the moment I entered, I was welcomed with a warm smile by Nurse Sharnie. It felt nice to be treated like a person rather than a patient. Dr Chiggs was very calm and understanding with all my concerns. Considering I have not had much dental treatment before, I was anxious about the pain aspect. However, rest assured Dr Chiggs had the most gentle, midas touch and I can't recall any pain or discomfort during the whole procedure! In fact with some R&B classics playing in the background, it was all quite a calming and pleasant experience. I can't thank Dr Chiggs and Sharnie enough for what they have done for my confidence!

I had ice braces here at Azure Dental and have had the best experience. when I first came I was embarrassed about showing my teeth. I would smile with my mouth closed to make sure they didn't show. Today I had my braces off and I am so happy its unreal, I can't stop looking at them :). Dan and the team have been great all the way through my treatment and explained everything each time I came. They made me feel welcome and at ease. Thank you again so much for my new smile, you really have given me confidence.

Stacey Barker

I was very very nervous about going to the dentist until I met Dan and his team at Azure Dental. We all went for an adventure of sorting out my teeth,which I am now thankful for as they now look amazing. The whole team from the receptionist to the dental nurses is first class,each individual helped,supported and put me at ease during visits and treatments. Dan is fabulous and always explains everything he is going to do on each session. The biggest bonus is I didn’t feel a thing,no pain what so ever.Highly recommend Azure Dental

Lynn Prescott

Huge THANK YOU to Dan and the team for the hard work, had my braces taken off today, words can't describe how happy I am, and so glad that I went to Azure Dental that was reccomended to me by a friend, the treatment only took 7 months and the results are amazing! I'm loving my new smile 😁🌟

Little disappointed at the small range of gins at reception but this was largely made up by the switch-off button on the music system playing Dan singing the 1994 hit by Green Day, Pulling Teeth.

I can highly recommend Azure Dental Formby . I have had general dentistry work and just had composite bonding on my front teeth which I am over the moon with. I am a very nervous patient but Dan and his Team are very caring and patient and put me at ease and explain everything.

I had my free consultation today with Ella and her team and I can honestly say that I have never had such a welcoming team at a dentist before. From entering the clinic the reception team were lovely and even helped to complete the registration for me as I have a medical condition that affects both arms so she completed it on the i-pad instead. Then I had a full check up including x-rays and reference photographs which included pricing for braces. Everyone was lovely, friendly and professional and I will definitely be back! C x

After having dental traumas in the past this dentist practice has made me feel so reassured, calm and looked after. After having treatment I even received a follow up call 24 hrs later, on a Sunday, now that is a service 👌. I myself a ward sister of 17years in the NHS would recommend this practice. The staff are professional, efficient and so understanding ( my fear of the dentist), it is a clean, and very friendly environment

I can not recommend Dan Hines enough, I’ve just finished my orthodontic treatment and I am absolutely thrilled with my results. He’s a brilliant dentist and his nurse Becky is fantastic too both so friendly, patient and genuinely lovely people. I did my research before choosing which dentist I would like to take on my case and I chose Dan as he is one of the most precise, thorough dentists I know. Both him and Becky have been so professional and welcoming throughout my whole treatment, explaining every stage and answering any of my concerns. If your looking for a brilliant dentist that is so down to earth and puts you at ease Dan is your man! Thank you so much for all your help!

I live on a narrow boat and continually cruise the UK’s inland waterways....I am also terrified of dentists. When I say terrified, I say it without exaggeration. So terrified am I, that I had spent the twelve months prior to seeing Dan and his team, eating paracetamol like they were Smarties. My husband and I where moored in Maghull, when he declared enough was enough and dragged me (kicking and screaming) by train, to Azure Dental. My initial consultation confirmed what I had suspected, I needed four teeth removed. I can not begin to explain my abject fear at that prospect. Dan was lovely, kind and truly sensitive. He reassured me that I would feel no pain and he was 100% right, doing everything to ensure that result. Consequently, I returned to this practice and followed through with my treatment, each time my fear abating. My boat is now moored in Market Harborough (East Midlands). I travelled for two hours by train to Manchester and then drove an hour to have Dan and his hygienist complete my treatment.Big shout out to the lovely young blonde woman who held my hand initially and her dark haired colleague (sorry I don’t know either of your names) who helped me remain calm and relaxed for the rest of my treatment. I truly appreciated both of you. XDan, I will see you again. Thank you most sincerely.

I live in Liverpool but regularly drive to Formby to attend Azure. I've been a patient at Azure for almost 4 years. I initially went for a free Invisalign assessment. Dan was very thorough in his assessment, and his passion for Dentistry was clearly evident. This convinced me to go ahead with full Invisalign treatment. I am extremely happy with the final result and have managed to convince two family members to sign up for full Invisalign treatment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Azure dental.

I have always been more than nervous of going the dentist. Ella extracted a tooth and done hygiene treatment on my teeth.

I am half way through implant treatment with Dan who was highly recommended to me by a friend. I have been extremely impressed with the care I have received. I was nervous as I needed implant surgery following an accident. Dan totaly put me at my ease and I never experianced any pain or discomfort during the implant and bone grafting procedure. Dan takes all the time you need to explain procedures to you and answer all your questions. If you are not sure or worried about possible treatment - go along for a consultation as I can highly recommend Dan!

I am so pleased that I joined Azure Dental's easy payment plan 2 years ago. It is a joy to be able to go to the dentist and not have to worry about paying. Dan is "the smiling dentist" par excellance! He has a genuine concern for me & my teeth, & I know that I am in safe hands. Likewise, with his hygienist staff - always very thorough & professional. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

As a nervous patient I have always struggled to keep up with my dental care but on my first visit to Azure a woman who was just leaving said to me that I would be fine. Dan is brilliant she said and she was right. My teeth were in quite a state as I had not visited a dentist in years. He reassured me and explained everything and the whole experience was so much better than I was expecting.That was a couple of years ago now and I no longer dread going to the dentist. Dan and all his team do a great job.

Lin Nelson

09:04 14 Sep 17

On arrival at Azure Dental I immediately got a good vibe about the place. The receptionist was very friendly and the surroundings very modern without being clinical. Dan the dentist was also very friendly and welcoming. The consultation process consisted of a brief chat getting know my dental history and my needs and concerns, followed by a thorough examination of my mouth. Dan was very honest with his assessment and I felt assured that he was more concerned about my requirements and was not out to make money by providing unnecessary treatment. Overall I couldn't fault my visit and thoroughly recommend Azure.

I visited Azure after some awful treatment from an NHS dentist. I was nervous and apprehensive due to the treatment of my previous dentist but I need'nt worry, Azure were fab! They helped me put a treatment plan together, and sorted my pain from an infection out right away. Root canal treatment followed and Elaine was so good, she put me at ease all the time. I am booked in for more treatment with them and am going to stick with Azure for the foreseeable future! Thanks to the whole team x

From previous experience I know how important it is to get the right dentist. Dan is the best dentist I have ever been to. I had extensive treatment over a few months; it was pain free and I am really, really pleased with the end result. From the first appointment, Dan explained all the options available and explained each phase step by step. Most of all I always felt that Dan cared about getting it right and was concerned that I was happy with the results. The atmosphere at this practice is calm and relaxing and the staff are welcoming. I would highly recommend this practice.

Best dentist ever!! Dan and his team are lovely. I was so ashamed of my teeth when I came for the consultation. Every visit I was actually excited for my appt. yesterday my brace has come off and I can't stop smiling showing my teeth, can't wait to smile on my wedding day showing my straight teeth! Definitely recommend anyone to go here!! Will miss coming for an appt. ☺️

Very professional, very welcoming, very reassuring teeth. Mouth all healthy .As above, but very inpressed when asked Dan do my teeth need any more attention (cosmetic) her said they were still good for awhile yet. No hard sell at Azure Dental,Formby

Been going to Azure Dental since they opened and they have always been superb. I recommended by Son to go too. He needed extensive treatment and he was delighted with the results. Their newly appointed dental hygienist is a great asset to the group. Long may it continue .........

I have had clear braces fitted in my 40s and although I was a bit concerned I might be too old Dan was so nice and very easy to talk to. I am half way through now and know I will be delighted with the results. I would definitely recommend the practice �

Excellent customer service and genuinely nice people. After a lot of research and a number of consultations I chose Dan for my Six Month Smile and he didn't disappoint, quick and efficient. I have since needed a couple of minor repairs to my retainer, on the first occasion I was concerned it was going to be very expensive but it wasn't it was a reasonable amount which reaffirmed my opinion. Highly recommended!

I was recommended to go for an assessment to Azure Dental. I have had some terrible experiences with dentists over a lifetime of difficulties with my teeth and I was a little sceptical. However from the moment I walked in I was treated brilliantly. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The consultation with Dan was the most thorough I have ever experienced. He is fastidious, obviously extremely knowledgable and competent. In addition he was polite, caring and courteous. He was able to make a difficult diagnosis with care and accuracy. I have no hesitation in recommending them. I shall be staying with them now I have found them.

Marvellous and painless treatment and friendly staff. No complaints. I've recommended Azure to my daughter and now she's joined and is confident to have alignment done by them. You can have a laugh with the team there and there's not many dentists you can say that about!! X

Hi Just wanted to write a review about Azure Dental Formby. I have only currently joined the practice and have visited a couple of times as I am getting continuous treatment at the moment. I can not recommend this practice highly enough. From the staff to the treatment i am having, 1st class service. I am finally after having years of problems with my teeth getting my smile back to how it was. Can not thank them all enough. ����

An excellent first visit to Azure dental practice. I was seen by Dan who explained everything in detail. The examination was thorough Dan explained all my options in detail. Emma was warm and friendly too and the whole experience was enjoyable, which isn't usually something I would say about a dentist. I will definitely be going back.

Absolutely perfect... Cannot believe how well the implant looks and feels .Well done team !! Despite the amount of attention required , I don't think I've ever had such a painfree dental experience in my life. "Dan's the Man" Thank you so much and your super duper assistant . Didn't quite appreciate her raving about Costa toast though, when my stomach was screaming for me to try out my new tooth on anything at all, ha ha .

Saw Dan for the first time today. I was losing my mind with worry, he put me at ease explaining all and I felt re assured and very comfortable. Even with all my treatments to come which have been discussed, I felt ready to take it all on and finally feel good about my teeth. Thanks Dan! 🙂

I have always suffered from gum infections leading to receding gums and ultimately loss of teeth. I have a very unreasonable fear of dentist. I attended Azure for a consultation which was very thorough . I was assured that my fear would be treated with respect. My next appointment went absolutely superb. I have another appointment in the near future and I am not feeling the fear! Would absolutely recommend Azure to anyone.

Iam currently undergoing treatment with Dan and his team and can't thank them enough. I was so apprehensive and nervous regarding dentists but no more after visiting Azure. They really do put you at ease and endeavour to make your treatment pain free. If you have a dentist phobia Dan and his team are well worth a visit.
