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.
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.
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 😁

Beverly Anderson10:10 12 Oct 20Excellent treatment at Azure Dental for an implant. Everything explained in detail in advance. I am very happy with the result. Would strongly recommend this practice
Colin Lea15:07 05 Oct 20I 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!
A Flynn14:36 22 Sep 20Azure 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😊Eileen Summers15:31 14 Sep 20Great 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.
Tim Roberts16:49 09 Sep 20Kind considerate staff- apologised that were not able to provide a drink but not permitted during the present security arrangements.Shelagh
Shelagh Warren05:31 03 Sep 20Highly 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 teamYvette Edwards18:03 27 Aug 20Really great service. And friendly helpful staff.
Matty Westhead17:51 23 Aug 20Fantastic service, amazing results, thanks again guys.
Phil Morris08:42 06 Aug 20I 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 Sunderland17:35 02 Aug 20I 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 .Sue Allen05:09 30 Jul 20I 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
Leah Shanahan12:45 19 Jul 20Dan is fantastic at what he does, he so friendly and helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to care for his patients
Pauline Beckett14:12 06 Jul 20An 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
Laura Tempest11:09 01 Jul 20
John Obrien09:15 26 Jun 20Joined this fantastic practice last year always made to feel at ease the minute you walk through the door .Had various treatment here the most recent tooth out yesterday bit nervous but soon settled down with Chiggs and team everything explained throughout painless.Big thank you for looking after me again
Stephen Banks16:47 16 Jun 20Excellent service. Great staff who put me at ease and explained everything really well to me. Thorough assessment and professional advice. Highly recommended.Alison Roberts12:19 10 Jun 20fantastic customer service and excellent results. would highly recommend.Cathleen Bridget17:00 14 Mar 20Went 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 Dunne12:02 11 Mar 20Azure 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 Noad07:52 05 Mar 20Highly 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 ☺️Victoria Kirk13:39 29 Feb 20Excellent in every respect, caring, empathetic approach displayed by the Hygienists --- very professional team.
david cheetham10:36 27 Feb 20Cannot praise the staff here enough. From the minute you walk through the door to the end of your treatment you feel relaxed and in safe hands. Highly reccomend to anyone who needs treatment.Lisa Marie Birchall18:56 14 Feb 20
Jackie Hughes08:27 13 Feb 20Dan 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!!Kelly Andersen17:00 07 Feb 20Azure 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!
Aunkit V18:04 01 Feb 20Dentist Mr Dan was superb with me and fixed what I thought to be a major problem within 24 hrs. A top man and a first class service which I cannot recommend too highlyDavid RigbyFormby
david rigby15:51 24 Jan 20The hygenist Rebecca is excellent. She is professional, thorough and very gentle and puts the patient at ease. She is the best hygenist I have been to and I highly recommend her.
Lorraine Gradwell01:01 16 Jan 20I was so fortunate to have found Azure Dental. I have undergone a lot of treatment over the past months which I had put off for a long long time, the care given by Dan and his lovely team was excellent and I am smiling again with confidence.
LINDA MITCHELL20:16 15 Jan 20Now I can smile with confidence!!!Thank you so much Dan and your wonderful, friendly professional staff!!From the moment I stepped into Azure Dental for my first consultation with Dan I was made to feel comfortableand relaxed and left feeling confident and happy that I could achieve the result I wanted.Dan's professionalism, expertise, friendly and professional manner instills such confidence and his thorough attentionto detail has given me the smile I always wanted.I only wish I'd had the confidence to come to Dan at Azure Dental years ago!!
Sheila Fowler12:47 04 Jan 20Best decision ive made.

Everything was explained in detail what id need and an ball park price so relaxing have booked again to continue getting the smile ive always wanted top class dental care with wonderful caring staff 👍👍👍
Joeann Hughes15:15 05 Dec 19I 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 Barker14:49 16 Oct 19I 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 DentalLynn Prescott18:45 03 Oct 19Huge 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 😁🌟Aleksandra Kusz21:30 25 Sep 19Absolutely 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.
Anne H Booth16:20 19 Aug 19Little 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.
peter geoghegan06:31 31 Jul 19I 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.

Alicia Shanahan17:17 13 Jun 19Always greeted warmly. Excellent professional, friendly service and treatment. Absolute confidence in all advice given and any identified issues.
Garry watkins19:00 21 May 19I would highly recommend azure dental, great service, professional, affordable and friendly. Dan and his team put me at ease while going through the process of having braces and my teeth bonded. Could not be happier with the final result Love my new smile 😁Kayley OBrien10:15 21 May 19Dan and his staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. Listened to my daughters concerns and provided her with treatments options. I would certainly recommend Azure Dental.
gill burke13:11 19 May 19I 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
Claire Simons00:39 17 Apr 19After 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 environmentMelanie How14:30 24 Mar 19Really helpful and straight to the point advice. Friendly helpful staff. Thank you guys...Matty Smith06:26 14 Mar 19I 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!Steph Jayne Ramsurrun21:18 07 Mar 19I 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.Karen Thorburn21:03 06 Mar 19
Stephen Wilkinson08:51 10 Feb 19Couldn't fault this place at all! I had my fast invisible brace fitted by Dan a few years ago and he is amazing! All the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are okay and are super friendly. Then seen the hygienist today and again FAB! Friendly and amazing! Would highly recommeded again and again and again! Thank you xxxx
Georgia x17:06 06 Feb 19Always a professional service, all of the staff are welcoming and put you at ease from the moment you arrive.

I look forward to many more visits. 👍🏻
J M21:12 29 Jun 18I 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.

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 Nelson09:04 14 Sep 17Best dentist ever!! Dan and his team are lovely. I was so ashamed of my teeth when I came for the consultation.

Definitely recommend anyone to go here!! Will miss coming for an appt. ☺️Hannah Morton09:32 02 Aug 17Been going to Azure Dental since they opened and they have always been superb.

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 Macnab05:47 05 Jul 17I 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.David Alexander04:47 07 Jun 17Such a good dentist with lovely service, I had my brace removed today and can't thank Dan enough, finally happy with my new smile!

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

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 😁Katie Smith13:41 22 Oct 20Beverly Anderson10:10 12 Oct 20Excellent treatment at Azure Dental for an implant. Everything explained in detail in advance. I am very happy with the result. Would strongly recommend this practiceColin Lea15:07 05 Oct 20I 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!A Flynn14:36 22 Sep 20Azure 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😊Eileen Summers15:31 14 Sep 20Great 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.Tim Roberts16:49 09 Sep 20Kind considerate staff- apologised that were not able to provide a drink but not permitted during the present security arrangements.ShelaghShelagh Warren05:31 03 Sep 20Highly 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 teamYvette Edwards18:03 27 Aug 20Really great service. And friendly helpful staff.Matty Westhead17:51 23 Aug 20Fantastic service, amazing results, thanks again guys.Phil Morris08:42 06 Aug 20I 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 Sunderland17:35 02 Aug 20I 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 .Sue Allen05:09 30 Jul 20I 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. XxLeah Shanahan12:45 19 Jul 20Dan is fantastic at what he does, he so friendly and helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to care for his patientsPauline Beckett14:12 06 Jul 20An 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.

Could not recommend Azure Dental enough.Thomas Dunne12:02 11 Mar 20Azure 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 Noad07:52 05 Mar 20Highly 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 ☺️Victoria Kirk13:39 29 Feb 20Excellent in every respect, caring, empathetic approach displayed by the Hygienists --- very professional team.david cheetham10:36 27 Feb 20Cannot praise the staff here enough.

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!!Kelly Andersen17:00 07 Feb 20Azure 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!Aunkit V18:04 01 Feb 20Dentist Mr Dan was superb with me and fixed what I thought to be a major problem within 24 hrs. A top man and a first class service which I cannot recommend too highlyDavid RigbyFormbydavid rigby15:51 24 Jan 20The hygenist Rebecca is excellent.

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 Barker14:49 16 Oct 19I 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.

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.Anne H Booth16:20 19 Aug 19Little 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.peter geoghegan06:31 31 Jul 19I 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.

Listened to my daughters concerns and provided her with treatments options. I would certainly recommend Azure Dental.gill burke13:11 19 May 19I 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 xClaire Simons00:39 17 Apr 19After 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 environmentMelanie How14:30 24 Mar 19Really helpful and straight to the point advice. Friendly helpful staff. Thank you guys...Matty Smith06:26 14 Mar 19I 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!Steph Jayne Ramsurrun21:18 07 Mar 19I 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.Karen Thorburn21:03 06 Mar 19Stephen Wilkinson08:51 10 Feb 19Couldn't fault this place at all! I had my fast invisible brace fitted by Dan a few years ago and he is amazing! All the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are okay and are super friendly. Then seen the hygienist today and again FAB! Friendly and amazing! Would highly recommeded again and again and again! Thank you xxxxGeorgia x17:06 06 Feb 19Always a professional service, all of the staff are welcoming and put you at ease from the moment you arrive.

Thanks Dan and all the team at Azure.Stuart Spencer22:14 24 Dec 18Dani Parkes13:42 05 Dec 18I can't thank Ellie enough for transforming my smile.

I look forward to many more visits. 👍🏻J M21:12 29 Jun 18I 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.

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 Nelson09:04 14 Sep 17Best dentist ever!! Dan and his team are lovely.

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 Macnab05:47 05 Jul 17I 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.David Alexander04:47 07 Jun 17Such a good dentist with lovely service, I had my brace removed today and can't thank Dan enough, finally happy with my new smile!

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.Tina Bassnett17:41 02 Jul 16Currently undergoing comestic dentistry work.

I would recommend anyone after the treatments they offer to go.Ellen Carter19:33 30 Jun 16Iam currently undergoing treatment with Dan and his team and can't thank them enough.
