Testimonials
AB (female, aged 51) “a credit to his profession”
My teeth were in very poor health and for several years I had been attending my previous dentist, three times a year for check-ups to try to hold on to my teeth as long as possible. By the time I met Dr. Friel I had been losing a tooth from my upper arch every six months or so over a period of two years.
EHC (female, aged 60) “complete confidence in Dr Friel and his abilities”
I had a small upper denture since the age of 18 then about eight years ago, I needed a full upper denture. Never really, coming to terms with this full denture and breaking it a couple of times, dental implants were proposed and I agreed to them.
FMR (female, aged 59) “the most professional manner”
I am delighted with all the work Dr Friel has done. All the treatments he has carried out have been painless and conducted in the most professional manner, with great charm.
I H M (male aged 49) “relaxed demeanour”
Dr Friel is currently finalising a dental implant therapy whereby two missing teeth in my lower jaw have been replaced by implants. This process has taken some months and I have been impressed with Dr Friel‘s professionalism and friendly, relaxed demeanour since our initial consultation.
A J McD (male, 39) “outcome exceeded expectation”
Made to feel as though a very individual case – again a magnificent feat for a very busy practitioner. Personally, very surprised to be stopped in a busy street by Dr Friel (out on his lunch break) to ask how I was keeping. Again, ability to make a patient feel valued and part of a practice. Confidence gain was as Dr Friel predicted and outcome exceeded expectation.
MC (female, aged 62) “first class information, treatment and post-operative care”
I lost my teeth when I was in my late 30s and was never comfortable wearing dentures. I rarely smiled, as I was self-conscious of my dentures looking false.
JGR (female, aged 60) “totally pain free and very straightforward”
I contacted Dr Friel some months ago as I was keen to have an implant to deal with a gap in my teeth where I‘d had a tooth removed when in my teens.
KLM (male, aged 56 years) “whole experience on a higher plain”
Over a period of time there had been problems with one of the teeth in my upper jaw. There had been various attempts by different dentists to ’mend‘ this tooth, with the final move of a crown being provided.
JSM (male, aged 51) “I have a natural smile which looks right”
For over 30 years I have avoided smiling too much thanks to a school playground fight and subsequent loss of a front tooth. This and a general neglect over the years left me very doubtful about offering a grin to camera.
RM (male, aged 39) “overall effect has restored my confidence”
I have been a professional footballer for 20 years and suffered a severe blow to the mouth after an accidental tackle, causing me to instantaneously loose my two front teeth.
SM (female, aged 57) “I now have a beautiful smile”
Since the age of 13 I‘ve had to wear a partial denture, which I hated, both for functional and cosmetic reasons. I never felt comfortable smiling and I am a person who loves to smile. I would also like to add that my primary history of dentists was a fairly negative experience, both due to their dental skills and chair side manner.
RF (female, aged 50) “my very positive experience with him”
Following several years of unsatisfactory, expensive, dental treatment, which was well known to several of my friends and work colleagues, it was finally suggested to me that I consult with Dr Friel which I did at the beginning of 2006.
EFK (female, aged 64) “complete confidence in Philip Friel‘s dental knowledge and skills”
Philip Friel is committed to excellence in his profession. He attends to the development of new materials and techniques, as evidenced by his being invited to give papers at prestigious international conferences. It is very reassuring for his patients to know that they are benefiting from treatment that is based on the best research available.
D McG (male, aged 51) “more than a satisfactory outcome”
Having had long term ongoing issues with my teeth for a great many years, I was referred to Dr Friel by my own dentist. After having had previous courses of treatment and eventually a bridge fitted to the top half of my mouth. Through the passage of time this proved not to be “the long term fix” I was promised it would be.
AB (female, aged 62) “his work is the best.”
I can’t say enough about Dr Philip Friel as a person and a dentist.
Having been introduced to him by my dentist of a lifetime, Mr Everingham, I felt extremely apprehensive about having implants.
With ‘state of the art’ dentistry equipment, and warm and friendly surroundings, I soon overcame my initial fears.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank him, for making me feel confident in myself again. His work is the best. My wholehearted recommendation of you Dr Friel.
JB (male, aged 60) “smile…without feeling embarrassed.”
I came to Dr Friel on the recommendation of my local dentist in Airdrie. I was conscious of my poor smile and discoloured teeth and with my son’s wedding coming up, I wanted to look good in the wedding photos. Dr Friel was very professional in every aspect of my treatment and he guided me towards the best treatment for what I wanted. The outcome couldn’t have been better. I can smile for the first time in years without feeling embarassed. The wedding photos were terrific and I can show them to my friends without hesitation. I would recomend Dr Friel to anyone who feels that dental treatment is required.
