Our prosthodontic specialist Dr Nick Fahey offers standard implants and Same-Day Teeth techniques. We specialise in complex cases including bone grafting and zygomatic implants for patients with significant bone loss.

Report
I have been going to Woodborough House for many years and had the privilege of having world class dental treatment from Nick, Sarah and Helen - every visit has been a pleasure and something I actually look forward to! The top level of service and the wonderful atmosphere has never waivered. I can highly recommend WH to anyone who wants the best dental treatment available.

Report
I have been a patient for over 15 years and whilst the treatment is good, in more recent years I have found that the charges have escalated and there is an undercurrent of up selling. I feel that the current covid safety package of 9.95 or 29.95 for other treatment is excessive. The push for implants at ~5,000 each which is a lot higher than the average UK cost is another example.

My first visit to Woodborough House. Really impressed . I was made really welcome. The practice was spotlessly clean and the parking was excellent. Really special to be reunited with Hamish my previous dentist of 17 years. I look forward to many years of excellent care.

Report
Just completed my second course of treatment for implants and on both occasions I have been thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and attitude of the whole team at Woodborough House. The entire experience is a pleasant one with friendly helpful staff and efficient and effective treatment. Nick has carried out four implants now, and the procedures have gone flawlessly with minimal discomfort and perfect integration with my natural teeth. Model dental practice.

Report
I cannot fault Woodborough House. The whole team is friendly and professional from the reception to the dental nurses, hygienists and dentists. Hamish has worked wonders on my teeth and I cannot thank him and the team enough. Every stage of the treatment was explained beforehand so that I knew what to expect and had confidence that the results would be what I was hoping for. It was a pain free and relatively relaxing experience. Definitely recommend.
