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.

I can’t thank Dr Chiggs Patel and Sharnie enough for their treatment the last few months. I have had Invisalign braces which have been regularly reviewed, and this was followed by an appointment yesterday morning to complete my composite bonding. My teeth look incredible - after years of damage from grinding them I never though they would look like this! Thank you again for your treatment, as well as your positive attitudes and warm manner every time I come in. I would highly recommend this practice.

My Mum (Carol Smith) recently had implant surgery and had her final appointment 2 weeks ago. As always, excellent care at Azure Dental and a fabulous end result.

Mum is so proud of herself as she has had a strong fear of the dentist all her life. Dan is AMAZING and Mum often says how he really is the “pain free dentist”.

Many thanks to his excellent team, who do wonders in keeping Mum calm with a special thank you to Becca for always keeping her informed.

Big smiles all round 😁

I first met Dan around 12 months ago, extremely self conscious about my smile and after meeting with several other dentists in the past feeling like i was out of options. I've had issued with my teeth since being a teenager, from multiple fillings to having my canines surgically removed from my gums when i was about 14 due to them not dropping into their normal positions. This left me with gaps where my canines should have been.After my initial smile clinic with Dan, we put a plan in place that would see me having my top teeth replaced with Veneers. Its been a long process due to covid and ive mithered the life out of Dan for months, eager to get myself back in the chair to gets things sorted. Dan was always quick to reply to my emails and has looked after me amazingly.I've left the clinic today after my final check up with a smile im extremely happy with. I've never felt this confident smiling or laughing in my whole life and its all down the Dans genius. Also a special thank you to the team he has around his, the receptionist and dental nurses have looked after me just as well as DanThanks again Dan, you've changed my life xP.s- Enjoy my first ever Selfie!

Azure has the very latest equipment. As a new patient a thorough examination on the status of your teeth accompanied by very good advice on their condition and any health issues you may have, including cosmetic treatments all viewed on screen. i was made to feel very comfortable throughout. Many thanks😊

Great to have my smile back. A veneer snapped. Becca and team were responsive to my enquiries and helpful in getting me into convenient and prompt appointments. Then the work itself was done to perfection by Dan. I'm really pleased with the replacement and the attention to detail that's gone into getting it just right. Great outfit. Shall be using again. Thanks again.

Highly recommended! Today was my second visit and I am a very nervous patient. I had a filling and a full clean and polish ready for 10 vaneers to be fitted! I’m normally on the ceiling due to sensitive teeth and didn’t flinch ! The needle for my filling I didn’t even feel Dan went though everything step by step ! Can’t wait for my new smile ! Would recommend everyone to use azure dentist and for nervous patients it was a breeze!
Thank you Dan and the team

I visited Azure as a new patient due to major problems with large front teeth. The welcome was warm and friendly and I had a consultation booked within a couple of days. The consultation was with Dan and lasted just over an hour. During that time I had a thorough checkup including xrays and photos which enabled Dan to explain various options available to me. Within 2 weeks I had a temporary plate which enabled me to be seen in public again. This proved invaluable as we were the hit by lockdown. Azure kept in touch throughout and contacted me as soon as they reopened to book me in. Two weeks later the bridge work was complete and Dan had done an amazing job. The complex work was done totally pain free and on completion of my treatment I feel that I not only have a new dentist Dan has become a friend. It sounds bizarre but it was a pleasure to go to see the dentist.

I can’t thank Dan and Rebecca enough . I suffer with gum problems and felt that prior to changing to Azure I was a lost cause . At my initial consultation and examination Dan spent time explaining what the causes could be . I had not understood that a long period of stress and anxiety could be contributing to my problems .
This helped me to look forward and realise that I needed to improve my mental well being along with following their recommendations with cleaning
I have revisited twice now for check ups . Yes I will always have gum problems there is no magic cure but thanks to Dan and Rebecca I feel that with their help and support I can keep the condition stable .
As with a lot of industries at present they have additional pressures due to Covid .
But my appointment felt normal . So please if you are worried about your dental health go visit them they are there to help .

I cannot recommend Dan and the team at Azure enough. From start to finish they are professional and put you at ease. Ive always been nervous about the dentist but not here. I've had two fillings and they look great. A new bridge that I am over the moon with. Feel like I have my smile back. Thanks for everything team Azure. Xx

An absolutely fantastic experience. I had to book an emergency appointment during Covid-19 for an extraction of a back tooth. The communication was excellent and an immediate appointment was offered the next day. The care I received was first class, very friendly, professional and informative from start to finish. Advised of guidance for pandemic, talked through every step of actions to be taken. I would highly recommend Azure to everyone. Thank you

Went to Azure Dental for a few treatments including cosmetic bonding. It took a couple of days to get used to the change of appearance but I am absolutely made up with the results. Could not recommend Azure Dental enough.

Thomas Dunne

12:02 11 Mar 20

Azure dental team are very friendly and professional, I have been going there for 8 years with a very unusual dental problem (MMP) and highly recommend them. Now a pensioner, seen 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.

Peter Noad

07:52 05 Mar 20

Highly highly recommend Azure! I had my teeth straightened as a child but they moved back. My teeth looked ok when I was a child but they look a million times better now! Dan did so much more with my teeth including shaping them and using different techniques that made a massive difference! I actually can’t believe how different my smile now looks!! I can’t believe they’re my teeth! I can’t thank Dan and the team enough for everything they have done!
Another thing I really liked about Azure was how friendly all of the staff where and how they remember each individual patient and build a really great rapport.
Thank you all for everything you have done ☺️

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

14:49 16 Oct 19

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

18:45 03 Oct 19

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. X

Dan, 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 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.

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

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. ☺️

Hannah Morton

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 �

Nic Coleman

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!

Stephanie Macnab

05:47 05 Jul 17

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.

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.

I can’t thank Dr Chiggs Patel and Sharnie enough for their treatment the last few months. I have had Invisalign braces which have been regularly reviewed, and this was followed by an appointment yesterday morning to complete my composite bonding. My teeth look incredible - after years of damage from grinding them I never though they would look like this! Thank you again for your treatment, as well as your positive attitudes and warm manner every time I come in. I would highly recommend this practice.

My Mum (Carol Smith) recently had implant surgery and had her final appointment 2 weeks ago. As always, excellent care at Azure Dental and a fabulous end result.

Mum is so proud of herself as she has had a strong fear of the dentist all her life. Dan is AMAZING and Mum often says how he really is the “pain free dentist”.

Many thanks to his excellent team, who do wonders in keeping Mum calm with a special thank you to Becca for always keeping her informed.

Big smiles all round 😁

I first met Dan around 12 months ago, extremely self conscious about my smile and after meeting with several other dentists in the past feeling like i was out of options. I've had issued with my teeth since being a teenager, from multiple fillings to having my canines surgically removed from my gums when i was about 14 due to them not dropping into their normal positions. This left me with gaps where my canines should have been.After my initial smile clinic with Dan, we put a plan in place that would see me having my top teeth replaced with Veneers. Its been a long process due to covid and ive mithered the life out of Dan for months, eager to get myself back in the chair to gets things sorted. Dan was always quick to reply to my emails and has looked after me amazingly.I've left the clinic today after my final check up with a smile im extremely happy with. I've never felt this confident smiling or laughing in my whole life and its all down the Dans genius. Also a special thank you to the team he has around his, the receptionist and dental nurses have looked after me just as well as DanThanks again Dan, you've changed my life xP.s- Enjoy my first ever Selfie!

Great to have my smile back. A veneer snapped. Becca and team were responsive to my enquiries and helpful in getting me into convenient and prompt appointments. Then the work itself was done to perfection by Dan. I'm really pleased with the replacement and the attention to detail that's gone into getting it just right. Great outfit. Shall be using again. Thanks again.

Highly recommended! Today was my second visit and I am a very nervous patient. I had a filling and a full clean and polish ready for 10 vaneers to be fitted! I’m normally on the ceiling due to sensitive teeth and didn’t flinch ! The needle for my filling I didn’t even feel Dan went though everything step by step ! Can’t wait for my new smile ! Would recommend everyone to use azure dentist and for nervous patients it was a breeze!
Thank you Dan and the team

I visited Azure as a new patient due to major problems with large front teeth. The welcome was warm and friendly and I had a consultation booked within a couple of days. The consultation was with Dan and lasted just over an hour. During that time I had a thorough checkup including xrays and photos which enabled Dan to explain various options available to me. Within 2 weeks I had a temporary plate which enabled me to be seen in public again. This proved invaluable as we were the hit by lockdown. Azure kept in touch throughout and contacted me as soon as they reopened to book me in. Two weeks later the bridge work was complete and Dan had done an amazing job. The complex work was done totally pain free and on completion of my treatment I feel that I not only have a new dentist Dan has become a friend. It sounds bizarre but it was a pleasure to go to see the dentist.

Alan Sunderland

17:35 02 Aug 20

I can’t thank Dan and Rebecca enough . I suffer with gum problems and felt that prior to changing to Azure I was a lost cause . At my initial consultation and examination Dan spent time explaining what the causes could be . I had not understood that a long period of stress and anxiety could be contributing to my problems .
This helped me to look forward and realise that I needed to improve my mental well being along with following their recommendations with cleaning
I have revisited twice now for check ups . Yes I will always have gum problems there is no magic cure but thanks to Dan and Rebecca I feel that with their help and support I can keep the condition stable .
As with a lot of industries at present they have additional pressures due to Covid .
But my appointment felt normal . So please if you are worried about your dental health go visit them they are there to help .

I cannot recommend Dan and the team at Azure enough. From start to finish they are professional and put you at ease. Ive always been nervous about the dentist but not here.

Advised of guidance for pandemic, talked through every step of actions to be taken. I would highly recommend Azure to everyone. Thank you

12:02 11 Mar 20

Azure dental team are very friendly and professional, I have been going there for 8 years with a very unusual dental problem (MMP) and highly recommend them. Now a pensioner, seen 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.

Peter Noad

07:52 05 Mar 20

Highly highly recommend Azure! I had my teeth straightened as a child but they moved back. My teeth looked ok when I was a child but they look a million times better now! Dan did so much more with my teeth including shaping them and using different techniques that made a massive difference! I actually can’t believe how different my smile now looks!! I can’t believe they’re my teeth! I can’t thank Dan and the team enough for everything they have done!
Another thing I really liked about Azure was how friendly all of the staff where and how they remember each individual patient and build a really great rapport.
Thank you all for everything you have done ☺️

Kelly Andersen

17:00 07 Feb 20

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

14:49 16 Oct 19

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

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 😁🌟

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. X

Dan, 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 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.

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. ☺️

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. ����

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.
