“I am delighted with the result of his work”

“I arrived at Kendrick View during the early part of 2017, frightened at what might be ahead. My previous dentist had carried out six-monthly checks on my teeth but never saw any necessity to work on them, which concerned me as I could see potential issues and, on occasion, I was in pain. A change of dentist was required; a friend recommended Kendrick and I was referred to Andrew McDonnell. He set out a plan which involved a lot of work during the late spring/summer of last year, and during the appointments he was always patient and mindful of my nervousness. I am delighted with the result of his work as my teeth look great and I no longer suffer the instances of tooth pain I had in the past.”

“I feel totally confident now”

“I would like to thank Andrew and his team for the wonderful service I have received. As a very nervous patient I was delighted with the care and professionalism I received. Not only was the dentistry of very high quality but both Andrew and the dental nurses took the time to reassure me and to make sure I understood the procedures and the options available to me. I always felt the focus was on retaining my natural teeth and not on unnecessary treatment.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Kendrick View Dental Practice to my family and friends Many thanks”

“As always fabulous in every way.”

“A Truly Outstanding Dental Practice.
Our family has been coming to this dental practice for years, and we simply cannot recommend them highly enough. From routine check-ups to more complex procedures, they consistently provide exceptional care in a warm and welcoming environment.
Andrew, our dentist, is absolutely brilliant. He recently fitted my dental implants, and I’m thrilled with the results. His meticulous approach and commitment to patient well-being are truly impressive. Before even starting the treatment, Andrew utilized the latest scanning and X-ray equipment to thoroughly assess everything and ensure there would be no potential problems. This incredible attention to detail wasn’t just at the beginning; it was evident throughout the entire process, right up to the final fitting. He takes immense pride in his work, and it really shows.
Andrew is supported by his fantastic nurses, Jane and Claire, and hygienists, Julie and Katie, who are all incredibly kind, reassuring and professional. They make every visit a comfortable and positive experience. The entire team works seamlessly together, creating an atmosphere of trust and expertise.
If you’re looking for a dental practice that combines cutting-edge technology with genuinely caring and skilled professionals, look no further. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

“After my son pointed out my protruding front tooth during a video call, I decided to schedule an appointment with Andrew. The welcoming staff helped ease my nerves, and Andrew’s thorough consultation revealed that all ten of my teeth were compromised. Following X-rays and 3D scans, I chose to proceed with dental implants for both my upper and lower teeth.

During my next appointment, impressions were taken for my dentures. At the following visit, my upper teeth were extracted, and a week later, my lower teeth were removed. Clare provided goody bags for pain management and checked on my recovery, which made me feel well cared for. My dentures were fitted immediately after the extractions, allowing me to smile confidently with healthy-looking teeth.

A month later, after my gum tissue had healed, Andrew checked to ensure everything was in order for the implant procedure. At the next appointment, scans were conducted to determine the exact positions for the implants. Once that was decided, I returned for the implant placements, which took place over two weeks for both the upper and lower implants. Both procedures were painless, and the care provided by Andrew and his nurse Claire was exceptional. I also received a care bag and follow-up calls at home.

Two weeks later, the stitches were removed, abutments were fitted to the implants, and locators were attached to the dentures. During some of the appointments, Andrew was assisted by an amazing nurse named Jane, who was just as dynamic as Claire.

After a six-month healing period, during which the implants fused to the bone, I returned for the final fabrication of the dentures. More scans and impressions were taken to ensure everything was in order, and a few minor adjustments were made.

After just over a year, my journey to achieving the smile I had always wanted came to an end. The care from the Kendrick View team, including the reception staff, nursing team Claire and Jane, and Andrew, was absolutely amazing. With all the appointments I had and the outstanding aftercare I received, I feel I got more than I paid for.

It has truly changed my life. Since my new smile, I am much more confident in laughing, smiling, and eating.

I would highly recommend Andrew and his team if you are considering implants. The team at Kendrick View Dental goes above and beyond to take care of you.”

“This is the only dentist I would highly recommend. Definitely first class. The staff are knowledgeable and always professional. I’ve always been a very nervous patient but Dr Andrew McDonnell is thorough, detailed and careful and completely puts you at ease.”

“I’ve never looked forward going to the dentist ! , however, Kendrick View Dental Practice provides such a calming, relaxed and professional environment and service, every visit is a true pleasure, which ends with excellent results. Many thanks to Andrew McDonnell and his nurse Jane who are very friendly people, true professionals who take pride in their work and in their patient relationships.
I look forward to my next visit ( not something I would normally say when going to the dentist !! ) Highly recommend.”

“Always have friendly and professional treatments from clinicians.
Always a lovely welcome from the admin staff.
As a previously quite nervous patient am now more relaxed thanks to Julie and Andrew”

“I’ve been coming to Kendrick View for a number of years and I can honestly say I now look forward to a dentist appointment. My dentist, Andrew, has converted a very nervous patient into a relaxed one and has got my my teeth into a very good condition. He tells me they should see me through! This is helped by regular appointments with Lucy, the wonderful hygienist. Credit also to the nurses and reception staff – it really is a first-class practice.”

“a calm, friendly and pain-free environment”

“I can’t thank Andrew and his team enough for a smile that looks exactly like the original.
After an accident 18 months ago, which involved a broken jaw and a lot of broken teeth, my normal dentist informed me we’d be losing a few. So, I visited Kendrick View for a second opinion.
Except for one tooth, Andrew and his team managed to save the lot. I went from a mouth with not even one filling, to a mouth decorated with root canals, crowns and an implant – and you wouldn’t be able to spot the fakes.
Not only did Andrew offer me the best of the best dentistry solutions, but he offered me a calm, friendly and pain-free environment. He talked me through everything step by step and after 18 months of visits I couldn’t be happier – Andrew has given me back my toothy smile.”

“wonderful service”

“I would like to thank Andrew and his team for the wonderful service I have received. As a very nervous patient I was delighted with the care and professionalism I received. Not only was the dentistry of very high quality but both Andrew and the dental nurses took the time to reassure me and to make sure I understood the procedures and the options available to me. I always felt the focus was on retaining my natural teeth and not on unnecessary treatment. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kendrick View Dental Practice to my family and friends”

I have been coming to this dental practice since the 1970’s and have always had brilliant service. They are a private practice and obviously you pay more for your treatment, however, everything I have ever had done has been first class. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and if you need an emergency appointment they always manage to fit you in. I recently had a bite guard from Dr McDonnell and I have to say that it is the best thing I have ever had – yes, it was pricey – but so worth it. I no longer wake up every day with jaw pain and/or a headache. I can highly recommend this practice.

I have been a patient of Kendrick View Dental Practice since January 2016 and I’m still one today! This practice is professional yet warm and staff still remember you over the years. You are also kept up to date on staff changes and recent happenings at the practice with their newsletters, which were particularly useful in the pandemic. I am and will always be eternally grateful to my dentist, Dr McDonnell, for his excellent restorative dentistry work to a tooth I broke in a freak accident a few years ago. I visited most recently to see a dental hygienist to clean my teeth and I usually do this every 6 months. Afterwards, I saw Dr McDonnell to have an updated X-ray of my teeth. Having healthy teeth is always in fashion and for this reason, I would highly recommend the practice to anyone looking for a dentist in Reading for general or more complex dental procedures.

The service provided Kendrick View is always professional and of the highest quality. The dental work I had carried out was painless and quickly completed. I would recommend this practice to anybody.

I discovered this dental practice after my previous implant company ‘finest dental’ went bust , leaving much of the ongoing implant treatment incomplete. So far the service at kendrick view under Andrew McDonald and his assistant Jane, has been consistent with the highest of professional standards and although a small fraction more expensive than other private dentists has actually been much better value. It is fair to say that Andrew has saved my implants, saved me a considerable amount of money and spared me much anxiety. I have also had very professional service at the hands of the hygeinist Sammie and dentist Johann but all delivered in a relaxed and informal atmostphere that has made me feel at home from the start.

I am very pleased with my new clip on prosthesis which has been made with a seemless almost ‘tooth whisperer’ approach. I can thoroughly recommend this practice to anyone. Richard Worrall

Great customer care. Always greeted with a smile. Dr Andrew McDonnell has made my teeth pain free for the first time in years.

Simply the best dentist I have ever had. Since I have been with Andrew my dentist and Julie my hygienist, my teeth have drastically improved. They are professional, always explain everything and give me choices. These people are passionate about dental care and each patient matters to them. I couldn’t ask for more.

I was recommended this dentist by my Daughter. I had not visited a dentist since the school dentist that I had attended and was promptly put off and put through agony by them, hence stopped going.
I saw Andrew as my daughter had seen him, I was very nervous, he was not judgemental at all and was very calming. He let me decide when I was ready. Looking at things now after my major treatment done and know that I was treated with respect and not forced into anything I didn’t want, I would highly recommend this practice. I am very pleased with all the treatment given and the care, friendliness and feeling as if I have known them all for years.

As a very long standing (and no doubt far from ideal)patient I have nothing but admiration for the consistently excellent quality of professional skill exercised by Dr McDonnell and his team.

I have been going there for years. Exceptionally good at what they do. Highly recommended.
