After many traumatic experiences with previous dentists resulting in retained roots, l was referred to Rose Lane Dental practice. Yesterday l had the roots removed under local anesthetic. I have been avoiding treatment for months as l was so afraid of complications and effects of anaesthetic. I was treated by Paul Swanson who was so confident, efficient and precise that the procedure was over in 20minutes and completely painless. I realised the reason other private and NHS dentists held Paul with such high regard. My only regret was suffering unnecessary anxiety for months prior to the root extraction. I was warned by people who have undergone root extraction that the pain following is awful. So far l have had minimal discomfort and not required pain relief. Knowing how skillful and experienced Paul is l wouldn't be afraid to undergo any further treatment under his care and can only apologise for being an awkward patient .

I was a very nervous patient - having had a couple of really bad experiences. I was referred to Rose Lane for a tooth extraction with sedation. The dentist that referred me does not know the difference this referral has made to me. Following the extraction I voluntarily telephoned the dentist to make an appointment and join this practice something I would not have done before I usually needed to be in pain to see the dentist. The experience was so good - never thought I would write that about a dentist. The calm, relaxing, patient focused care I received was outstanding. I have had my check up and though I have not had to have any dental work done, decided to have some of my ugly amalgam fillings replaced AND I have seen a hygienist. The difference it has made to me just having my picture taken is amazing I now don't mind laughing and smiling. I have more appointments booked and am growing in confidence each visit. Another bonus is their opening hours - early and late appointments are great if you work.
