Client Testimonials

As I am a phobic about dentists I was obviously very nervous about going to City Dental. As soon as you walk through the door, the receptionist Linda makes you feel at home and puts you at your ease immediately. Dr Ibrahim has done wonders for my confidence with my new smile, and Nicola – his dental nurse - has been brilliant at putting me at my ease when I go to my appointments. My treatment has taken approximately 8 months, and each time I go,, I'm less nervous.

I would definitely recommend City Dental to my family and friends – and I already have, and a member of my family started their treatment not long after mine.

Dr Gakhal and his staff have been amazing and I would like to thank them wholeheartedly. What may seem simple and straightforward for the practice has a huge positive impact on patients.

I wasn't one for spending time in the Dentist's chair but after contacting City Dental and my initial assessment I couldn't wait to get started.

The professionalism and experience of the team is very evident and the results are far better than expected.

I would honestly recommend these lovely people to anybody who has ever thought about getting their teeth checked.

Thank you for your wonderful work!

I was very nervous about attending a dentist after a few bad experiences and had neglected my teeth for several years and was considering dentures. Dr Ihab and team put me at ease and explained different options to repair my teeth. After completion of my treatment, what a transformation! I can now smile with confidence. Many thanks to Dr Ihab and team and to Linda the caring receptionist. Highly recommended

Initially I was a little apprehensive after contacting City Dental as I had not had dental treatment for several years. Any doubts I had, however, were soon dispelled as everyone was friendly and reassuring. I am absolutely delighted with the end result and have no hesitation in recommending City Dental to anyone, in fact, it is almost a pleasure to go there!

I’ve never liked the dentists (and I’m sure some of you don’t either) but City Dental made me feel at ease, re-assured me and supported me through it all. I had expectations, and they were high, but what I ended up getting was far more than this, not only in the aesthetics (which were my main priority) but the service. I wanted to say thank you every day after my treatment was completed, learning to smile and show off my new found happiness has been the tough part!

I am so happy that I took the time to book that initial consultation with Dr Ibrahim. Since this, my confidence in my smile has been restored and I would fully recommend City Dental for anyone thinking about having any kind of dental treatment done as the team are welcoming, polite and I was put at ease from the start. Each procedure is explained in simple terms and I was shown a model of what the end result would look like which I found helpful. Again many thanks

I write to express my thanks to City Dental for the treatment that I have received, also for the way that I was treated professionally but at the same time with empathy and understanding at each stage of the work that I had to have done.

I wear an upper denture only and have always suffered from embarrassment due to the movement of my denture whilst talking or eating.

I investigated and visited several dental practices prior to making my final decision to undertake a free consultation with Dr Gakhal to see if implants would be possible and if they would eliminate my loose denture problem.

During my initial consultation I was immediately made to feel at ease by the friendly and professional manner of Dr Gakhal, Dr Mistry, the receptionist Linda and the dental nurse Kirsty, each of whom so successfully undertake their separate roles.

My denture is now held securely in place with implants and it is the next best thing to having my own teeth, I am so happy and confident now that I can smile, talk and best of all eat any fruit without having firstly to peel or cut into small pieces.

I highly recommend City Dental and the change to my life that implants have made, my only regret being that I did not do it years ago!

Finally I would like to say a BIG thank you to one and all, I could not have wished for a more dedicated team of people.

Lesley Greenwood

I write to express my gratitude regarding the professional and caring way I have been treated by every member of the team at City Dental.

I have for several years suffered from the embarrassment of loose fitting dentures, unable to endure denture fixatives of any description I was desperate for help in being able once more to talk confidently without fear of my dentures moving about!

I investigated several dental practices prior to making my final decision to undertake a free consultation with Dr Gakhal to see if Implants would be possible and if they would help me eliminate my loose denture problem, I am so pleased my decision turned out to be so right.

During my initial consultation I was immediately made to feel at ease by the friendly manner of Linda, Dr Gakhal and the rest of the team that so successfully undertake their separate roles.

It has been a long road, it is however so worth it, I can now talk confidently and eat meals of choice with my friends without fear of embarrassment. I had 5 Dental Implants placed that now hold my dentures securely in place, it is the next best thing to having my own teeth, I highly recommend City Dental and the change to my life that Implants have made, my only regret being that I did not do it years ago!

Thank You to you all

Sharon Porteus

I was very happy with the treatment I received. Teeth look great and really natural. Will possibly be returning for further work in future. Thank you :)

Chloe Walker

My decision to have an implant to replace two missing teeth was made after I had a long discussion with Dr Gakhal who talked through the procedure and cost. Each stage of the dental process was explained fully and I appreciated the care and attention to detail from everyone in the practice. I was particularly impressed by the calming care that Dr Gakhal gave to ensure that treatment was given as pain free as possible and appreciated his personal attention to aftercare. The practice is modern and well equipped and everyone is approachable and friendly. It did take some time to produce the excellent end result but it was worth it.

Moyra Anderson

I was quite nervous about attending a dentist after neglecting my teeth for a number of years, and didn't quite know what to expect when I attended City Dental for the initial consultation. From when I first walked into their offices I was made very welcome by the team, and was talked through all of the options available to me for the treatments. I was concerned at the condition and appearance of my teeth, and although I'm a generally happy person I hated to smile as I was so self conscious of the gaps between my top teeth. I attended a number of appointments to clean my teeth & gums in preparation for the crowns to be fitted, and was made aware of the process and next steps all the way through the procedure. The team at City Dental are very friendly and I certainly felt that my individual treatment was important to them. My dentist even kept talking to me through the procedure of having my teeth prepared and having the crowns fit which helped me stay calm. I would strongly recommend anyone with concerns regarding the appearance of their teeth to attend a consultation as I'm sure once they attend they'll be more than happy with the team and the service provided.

Rob Wilson

To Dr Gakhal and all the staff at City Dental,
Just a little note to say that I can't thank you enough for the difference you have made to my life! After so many years of hating my teeth, I can now smile without putting my hand over my mouth - and just try stopping me! I feel like a new woman and my confidence has increased ten fold. I really appreciate your professionalism, attention to detail and expertise, all in such a friendly and relaxed clinic. Going to the dentist no longer fills me with dread!!

Thanks again,
Emma

Im extremely pleased with the results from my invisalign treatment and whitening treatment, i would recommend anyone.

Ben Pinder

Absolutely delighted with the results and can't think why I didn't do it years ago. All questions were covered and a full explanation of procedure given at the consultation visit. Treatment completed in three comfortable and pain free visits. I can't thank you enough.

Jennie Stones

When I first visited Dr Gakhal,I arrived at his surgery very nervous. My teeth had always made me very embarrassed, he quickly put me at ease I had no idea what he could do with my crooked teeth all I'd been told was that I should have veneers but my teeth were quite healthy and I wanted to keep my own teeth if possible.

Dr Gakhal told me he could help me; I was given the Inman Aligner. The results were very fast after just a couple of weeks I could see a definite movement in my teeth after a few months the result were there for all to see. I went on to wear a retainer when I was reaching the end of my treatment. I then had my teeth whitened the results are amazing . I can't stop smiling and I don't know how to thank you all enough you have given me so much confidence I would send anybody your way for help it has changed my life.

Karen Child

Very happy with the treatment and crowns given. Feel able to smile for the first time in a long time. Very good after care.

Thank you.
Lisa Speight

Many many thanks to the City Dental team. From beginning to end the service you have provided has been fantastic and I now have the results to prove it. After initial consultations with numerous dental practices, it was clear after meeting Dr Gakhal that I would come away happy....I encourage others to do the same as you won't be disappointed.

Amy Burnage

The practice is very friendly and helpful. They take great care and I was extremely pleased with the results of my dental work. I received a metal denture and was extremely pleased.

June Lighton

City Dental Practice are very professional. I was told everything that was going to happen, how long and most importantly the cost front: no hidden extras. The dental treatment was brilliant and i am very pleased withresults after losing my front tooth and having an implant.

John Ramsden

After losing a front tooth the only thing my dentist could suggest was a denture, it was horrendous. I decided to look into a dental implant and spent many hours on the internet looking into it. I visited dozens of dentist's websites as far as Birmingham and read hundreds of reviews. The one that stood out from the rest was City Dental. The initial appointment was made, I met Dr Gakhal who went through the procedure in detail explaining everything and answering all my questions. I was given a written treatment plan with a fixed price. Shortly after the treatment commenced; Dr Gakhal was superb, his manner, level of skill, attention to detail etc cannot be surpassed. In view of this I had 2 implants and my wife also had 2. This has been one of the best decisions of our lives, it is life changing and has given us both more confidence and given us our smiles back. Like most worthwhile things it is a long road but the benefits are there every time you look in the mirror, it's a lovely feeling. If there are people reading this who have doubts about having a dental implant please don't. I would be happy to speak personally to anyone who is considering implants, if you are, contact City Dental with total confidence. Last but not least, Dr Gakhal would not be able to work at his level without the high standards of his staff team many, many thanks to you all.

Edward and Marian Avill

I am writing to express my gratitude for the professional treatment, patience, care and friendliness I have received over the past 8 months from Ihab, Linda, Kirsty and Nicola.

In my first check-up Ihab and I came to an agreement that he would create the lovely whiter smile I desperately wanted by replacing my four front very yellow crowns which had been put in 20 years ago by a previous dentist if I had the essential treatment he advised i needed i.e. replacing old painful fillings and see the hygienist Nicola. This was to evaluate my brushing and flossing technique to tackle a small but growing area of gum disease and unpleasant breath. My previous dentist had not recommended visiting a hygienist even though on several occassions I mentioned that my breath could smell sweeter! I took Nicola's advice which has been invaluable and made a real difference to my oral hygiene i.e. no more bleeding gums or bad breath!.

Within 8 weeks Ihab had transformed my smile as over the years I had got into the habit of smiling with my mouth closed because I was so embarrassed about showing my yellow front teeth and now I not only have a great smile but also my confidence is back. My new teeth look so natural and cleaner that my partner of 17 years believes I only had me teeth whitened and not replaced.

Many thanks to a great team that have made me very happy! :0)
