I got my teeth fixed here. I struggled with shame and embarrassment due to my horrible squint teeth for a long, LONG time until I decided that enough was enough and that I should get braces to end the shame once and for all.
First impressions count for a lot and most of the time I am let down in that regard. The Vitality Clinic bucks the trend by having a young crew and a bright attitude. There's no hatchet-faced old hag sitting at reception or ancient dentists lecturing you for not brushing 100% perfect, something that has frequently put me off going for check-ups.
The clinic accepts dental and optical patients but my experience was strictly with the dental.
I was treated by Dr. Andrew Welsh, who sort of looks like Seth McFarlane's younger Glaswegian brother. Getting through all the phases and steps of fitting and tightening braces was a long, heavy grind but Andrew always kept it personal by never treating me like a faceless number. The staff here all call you by your first name instead of the robotic "Sir" or "Mr. Watson", which I hate.
The process of wearing braces was absolutely not without pain and torture though the grind was mercifully broken by friendly staff. It really makes a difference. If you are looking to sign up with a new dentist (or optician, I guess) then I'd most certainly recommend the Vitality Clinic. read more
