My treatment plan involved weekly retainers over an 18-week period, with a revision at 16 weeks that led to an extension to 24 weeks due to a particularly stubborn twisted tooth. Once my teeth were properly aligned, I underwent two weeks of whitening to enhance their brightness. To perfect my smile, I had composite bonding applied to my top six teeth, adding length and ensuring a natural look. To maintain the results, I was provided with three-year retainers along with a permanent retainer for added stability. This thorough process ensured my teeth were both healthy and aesthetically pleasing. My experience with Dr. Alex was nothing short of exceptional. She made the entire journey incredibly easy, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. She was always attentive, genuinely listening to my updates and offering thoughtful advice and options tailored to my needs. After every visit, I received a follow-up email summarizing our discussion and next steps, which made the process feel seamless and well-organized. From the very beginning, she was clear about all instructions and the steps involved, keeping me fully informed throughout my treatment. Her professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference in my experience. Dr. Alex went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be happier with my smile! I always thought my teeth were nice, aside from one stubborn twisted tooth, but seeing the results after Invisalign was incredible. Not only do my teeth look amazing, but I also feel so much more confident in their health. As part of my treatment, Dr. Alex suggested teeth whitening before getting edge bonding on my top six teeth, which truly elevated my smile. The bonding transformed my teeth from looking flat across the top row to a more shapely, natural appearance—even restoring the definition of my canines, which had worn down over the years. For aftercare, I had the option of three years' worth of night retainers or a permanent retainer. After discussing it with Dr. Alex, I decided on both—choosing the permanent retainer for convenience while also continuing with night retainers to protect against grinding during sleep, especially with the new bonding. I’m beyond pleased with the results and so grateful for Dr. Alex’s expert care! Check out the results attached!

Amazing dentist and affordable prices too. Had crowded teeth for years, lost my confidence and stopped smiling full stop. Dr Alexandra is a perfectionist. She made me feel at ease straight away I sat in the dentist chair. Everything went so smoothly. We did have to extend the time of treatment but that didn't bother me. I just wanted to have beautiful and straight teeth again. And I definitely do now!!! So happy with the finished result, and I have been recommending Alexandra for all my lovely clients. Thank you so much for being the best.

Going to the dentist is nobody's idea of fun so it is a delight when the dentist makes the visit as painless (in every sense) as possible. Like many people I get nervous when having treatment. I have just had to have a root canal treatment and I can't say that I enjoyed it but Alex was a joy. She inspires confidence. She takes the time to explain everything and carried out the treatment efficiently and painlessly. If you are in need of a great dentist then I couldn't recommend a better one. Thank you Alex. Keep up the good work.
