Report
Excellent service from Illume recently. I had a sudden toothache and was seen the same day. The practice phoned me a few days later just to check how I was. When the problem returned the following week I was again seen within a matter of hours. The assessment of my problem was thorough, and the resulting treatment effective.

Weve seen the same dentist at Illume for 20 years! A testimonial in itself. Friendly, caring and a total professional service. We would never go anywhere else!

Illume is a fantastic dentist conveniently located in Cheltenham. They provided excellent pain free treatment of a bad tooth. I don't live close, and it is a bit of a trek for a visit to the dentist. But after my first appointment, experiencing the professional, really friendly atmosphere, I won't want anybody else looking after my teeth. You can take for granted the quality of treatment and sympathetic care. I really believe that you get what you pay for. Being with a 'cheap' dentist before taught me that it was just false economy; pay a bit more to get the job done right the first time is my

My first visit to Illume and I have never been treated so well. Everyone made me feel comfortable in the practice. Such an amazing difference to the NHS dentist I used to visit. I was completely relaxed. Slightly out of my way, but definitely worth the visit to such a caring dentist.

Illume has provided a brilliant level of dental care. After university it was time to take proper care of my teeth. Illume put me at ease so I dont worry about visiting the dentist any more. Now Im getting older Ive realised that its important to visit the hygienist as well as the dentist to keep me from needing more serious treatments later on. Thank you Illume for taking away my fear!
