Testimonials

"After years of being told that I couldn’t do anything about my crooked teeth, I decided to have a consultation with Adam as my friend recommended me,she had just completed her treatment and was over the moon.

From the moment I met Adam I felt at ease and trusted him completely. 9 months later I am writing this review to urge anyone thinking about having Invisalign to trust Adam and go for it.

My family and friends cannot believe the difference. I now have the confidence to smile with my teeth showing in photographs.

I only wish I had done it years ago."

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for giving me the teeth I have always wanted.

In recent years I started to notice that they were much more discoloured than most of my friends and that particularly the top teeth were moving and becoming more out of line.

I started to become quite self conscious and when smiling or laughing, I became aware that I was covering my mouth or putting my head down, it was time to do something about it.

After speaking with you and your full explanation of the process and what to expect from the treatment , I knew Invisalign and whitening was the way forward and to also build up the shorter teeth.

I knew it was not going to be a quick process and was going to take several month's but I am so glad that I had the treatment. Now that I have finished my treatment I can't stop showing my family and friends my teeth and i am no longer self conscious.

Thank you again for my beautiful white and straight teeth."

"Before having Invisalign, I was rather conscious of my smile and bite which had opened back up after having fixed braces as a teenager. I had been considering Invisalign treatment for a number of years after feeling unhappy with my smile and experiencing issues with my bite. I'm so glad I decided to go for it. Adam was great from start to finish, really friendly and knowledgeable and explained the process really well. I am so much happier and more confident with my teeth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adam to any one considering improving their smile. Thank you so much."

"Having just completed some very extensive bridge work- and Invisalign treatment with Adam- (and Michelle) I have nothing but praise for them both!

I was always listened too, and put at ease at every appointment.

The care was so thorough, and as a result I got the smile Ive always wanted.

Thank you."

"Well, what can I say Adam is just amazing at what he does. I could not be happier with my Invisalign result. The whole journey from start to finish has been worry free, Adam is great at making you feel comfortable and explaining exactly what he’s going to do, how he’s going to do it and what he wants to achieve by doing it. He tells you truthfully what to expect and he is very honest. Adam takes all the time and never makes you feel rushed. He is a perfectionist and in my opinion, an expert at what he does. I have already recommended Adam to many friends (who so far are also extremely happy with his work) I truly cannot recommend him enough. If anyone is considering Invisalign with Adam, you will not regret it! Adam, I cannot thank you & your staff enough I only wish I had found you & made the decision to start my journey with Invisalign sooner!"

"I come from a long line of family that have ugly teeth and in the past have been referred to as Goofy! I changed my dentist in 2021 and discussed how I felt ashamed of my yellowing uneven ugly teeth and was told Adam Carstairs would be able to give me back my smile.

I booked a consultation only appointment and I've never looked back, Adam and the dental assistants gave me a clear picture of what was to be done and gave a caring professional approach to each and every step of my journey.

The process was not painful and appointment were made to suit me! I can't believe In just a few months after many years of no confidence and hiding my smile that my teeth are beautifully straightened and sparkling white.

My family and friends say how often I smile and it's given me a renewed confidence I can't explain. I would recommend Adam Carstairs to anyone who thinks it's too late because it's not.

I would like to thank Adam yet again."

"Don't walk to Adam, run! I had hesitated on Invisalign for some time due to uncertainties and cost, however now I wish I had completed it years ago. Adam makes you comfortable through the whole process, answered all my many, many questions with ease and the fact he has had Invisalign himself makes it feel like you're getting personal recommendations on treatment. The fact you get to see the virtual changes online as to what your smile will look like, really sold it for me. There aren't endless appointments, and pain is minimal at best. It really is a game changer, as is Adam!"

"After many months of wrestling with the idea of having my teeth straightened and finding the best person to do the job, I found Adam (by seeing some outstanding results from someone who had just been through the process with him)! I really could not be happier with my Invisalign results. Adam and the team are 1st class…highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed."

"I would just like to say A Big heartfelt Thank you, To you and All your staff at "Royal Dental Mews, who have taken care of me over the last few months of my treatment. Mostly for your advice and expertise, attention to detail throughout on helping me with my new smile which has boosted my confidence no end, you really went above and beyond what I expected the outcome to look like. I am now able to smile and speak normally without feeling embarrassed or having to try and hide my teeth, Something which I was very very conscious of before, “I will be forever grateful."

"Having undergone Invisalign treatment by Adam, I have once again been able to smile. The process was painless and efficient.Adam went through the procedure and made everything relaxing and simple. I was initially very nervous but everything went to plan and I am very happy with the results. I would recommend anyone wanting this treatment to not hesitate,you will be happy with the outcome."

"I have recently finished my Invisalign treatment and I couldn’t be happier with my results! From the beginning with my consultation all the way through to the end of my treatment it has been stress free & without fault all thanks to Adam and his team! I felt completely reassured at every appointment as he couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful with any questions I had throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Adam at all and once again want to say a BIG thank you to him for giving me so much more confidence in my smile!"

"After a lifetime of having badly overcrowded teeth with poor alignment, I made the step to contact Adam after a colleague of mine had amazing results in her treatment. I had one dealbreaker - I did not want to have any teeth extracted. I thought this would mean treatment would be impossible, but much to my delight, it was still possible through the use of IPR (no way near as scary as it sounds).

The latest technology is used so you don't have nasty impressions and moulds - a painless scanner is used to get 3D images of your teeth. Again, a sign that Adam invests in his practice. For Covid, they made things absolutely as secure as possible, and there was never a moment that I felt unsafe.

Adam and his team always went above and beyond to listen to me and explain things to me in full. He is always honest and realistic about what can be achieved with other types of treatment. He ensured I was fully involved in my treatment plan and most importantly to make me feel comfortable. I am a typically very nervous patient but his manner made me feel completely at ease. Nothing was ever so scary that I needed any kind of pain relief or sedation, and I used to be someone who would shake in the dental chair. In going through this process, it has also helped me become more confident with dentistry in general which is a very welcome bonus.

My treatment lasted just over a year but this would have been less were it not for the 2020 lockdown. I never dreamed that it would be possible to achieve a straight smile in that period of time, given that as a child I had been told 2-3 years of traditional braces plus head braces, extractions, etc.

Finding a quality Invisalign provider is essential - the aftercare, having Adam on hand if you have any queries during your treatment, his guidance and support are imperative to a successful treatment and any issues can be quickly addressed. There may be other online providers that appear cheaper at first glance, but all I can say to that is 'you get what you pay for'. Adam offers payment plans as well and all prices are discussed before treatment begins so you don't ever have nasty surprises.

Making the decision to have your teeth straightened is a big one, but for anyone who is unsure - I say go for it! It is an investment in your smile, your dental health and your self-esteem that will last the rest of your life. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Adam is absolutely the best person to get you on that journey.

I now have a smile that I am proud of and I am forever indebted to Adam and the team for giving me such an incredible gift."

"After several months of research, I finally booked a consultation with Adam to discuss a treatment plan. As my case was complex and Adam is a platinum provider for Invisalign, I felt confident I was in experienced hands. Adam explained in detail how my treatment would progress and gave me an appropriate time frame.

Throughout my treatment Adam and his team provided an exceptional level of care, and I left every appointment feeling positive knowing I was closer to achieving my end goal. My case took around 18 months and now I couldn't be happier with the brilliant results.

I would highly recommend Adam to anyone thinking of getting Invisalign."

"I am over the moon with my new straight teeth, Adam was extremely helpful and accommodating with my hectic schedule.

I completely trusted his opinion and advice and I would highly recommend anyone who isn't fully satisfied with their teeth to begin Invisalign treatment with Adam!

I am so pleased thank you so much again!"

"I had an unusually big gap that looked liked I had 2 teeth missing in the front and which had gradually widened and protruded forward over the years. It was tremendously affecting my confidence and my smile.

I had previously tried braces in the past in the US and got little to no results. Adam saw how extreme my case was and still took on the challenge and today thanks to him I have regained my confidence. It took 1 year to get there but it is so worth it!

He fitted me with clear braces which were almost inconspicuous and didn't draw much attention. The practice itself is very clean and the staff are very helpful and professional and they offer tailored payment plans.

Overall, l am extremely satisfied with the service and will recommend it to anyone I know.

Thank you Adam Carstairs."

"Having used Invisalign to straighten my teeth for the last 9 months, I can't recommend it enough to anyone who wishes to have straight teeth. The process is so painless and simple. Adam explains everything and reassures you along the way. My teeth look fantastic and now having whitened them I only wish I had had this done years ago. A big thank you to Adam and his assistants for their patience and attention to detail."

"Adam - thank you for my beautiful smile on my wedding day"

"Following on from my recent Invisalign treatment, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Adam and the team. I am so pleased with the results and it has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. The treatment all in all (from my first consultation to my final appointment) took approximately 1 year to complete. In the past, I have always felt nervous and anxious when attending the dentist however Adam and the team made me feel relaxed, comfortable and answered any questions I had about the treatment. Overall, the Invisalign treatment was relatively pain free. At the beginning of the treatment, the retainers would sometimes cut the side of my tongue/gums however this was resolved by using wax or a nail file. The retainers themselves were very comfortable to wear and sometimes I even forgot I had them in! I got into a daily routine of when I would take them out to eat and clean them, and they also helped me in changing my eating habits (for example, less snacking and drinking more water). During the process, it was amazing to see how much my teeth were moving on a weekly basis, and each week I was feeling more comfortable with my smile. At the end of the treatment, Adam also filed/shaped my front teeth which finished my new smile off perfectly. As a whole, I am extremely happy with the outcome of Invisalign and I highly recommend visiting Adam for those who wish to feel confident in their smile.

I have had so many compliments, and i am so pleased with my new smile, so thanks again Adam!

All the best,"

"Dear Adam,

Now my treatment with Invisalign is completed, I just wanted to say a BIG thank you.

I came to see you in September 2017 with teeth, both top and bottom, badly out of alignment.

You recommended Invisalign, and whilst I had reservations and nerves, you took the time and had the patience to explain how the system worked and all that was required of me to ensure I would end up with 'perfect' teeth. I was impressed that you were actually able to show me by 3D on a screen, not only the various stages of the treatment, but also the finished look of my teeth before you had actually started. Amazing!

My particular treatment lasted 47 weeks and I can honestly say I didn't have a minute of pain throughout. Of course, it felt strange at first, and whilst I thought it might be a pain taking the braces out before meals, in reality, you just get used to it. It becomes part of the routine.

My friends were unaware of the treatment I was having, the braces were clear and so went unnoticed. They only started noticing once they could see I was smiling with my teeth showing, something I hadn't done for 50+ years. They were impressed.

I would have no problem with you showing my before/after pictures to prospective clients. I am proud of them! THE CONFIDENCE IT HAS GIVEN ME IS BEYOND MEASURE. I now feel I really do have perfect teeth!

Finally, Adam, as you are aware, I am so impressed with you personally and professionally I have changed dentists to be with you and am grateful to you knowing my teeth are in good hands.

Once again, a BIG thank you. Best Wishes."

"Dear Mr.Carstairs I just wanted to say how pleased I have been with your impressive overview and treatment of my teeth.

Your attention to detail and comfort for me as a new patient has been incredible and very much appreciated.

The two bridges and one denture that you recommended for my mouth are an excellent fit,and the end result has made me a very happy man.

I have recommended you to my friends without hesitation for all dental treatment.

May I also in passing comment on the clarity and simplicity of your website, it mirrors your professional service.

Thank you once again Yours very sincerely,"

"I’m absolutely delighted with the fantastic results Dr Carstairs has achieved for me using Invisalign. After years of complaining about my teeth, they have been corrected in just a few months! The whole process was completely painless and not a single person realised that I was wearing a retainer. Dr Carstairs is incredibly knowledgeable and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you!"

"After being unhappy with my teeth despite 4 teeth removed and fixed braces as a teenager which left them sticky out front ways quite badly, I decided to visit Adam at the Royal mews Practise, originally for convenience as it was very close to my house. From the consultation, Adam and his team were friendly, knowledgeable and and I knew from the beginning I could entrust my smile with them.

Throughout the last eight months the treatment has been very well explained at every stage and therefore very easy to undertake. Adam is a very caring dentist who is particularly good for nervous patients and I couldn't be happier with the final results. Could not recommend highly enough."

"Had Invisalign treatment carried out by Adam.

Adam put me at ease from the first consultation. He always took the time to explain everything and answer any questions I had.

Have never been a big fan of going to the dentist!....But I never felt any trepidation about attending my appointments at Royal Mews.

Adam could not have looked after me better. Am so happy with the results my teeth are straight and white - wish I'd had it done years ago.

I would definitely recommend Invisalign treatment by Adam."

"For years I have wanted to have my teeth straightened and have always felt uncomfortable with my smile.

Then I was recommended by a friend and patient to Adam Carstairs at Royal Mews Dental Practice in Southend on Sea and I am so pleased with the results of my invisalign treatment.

From day one Adam, his dental nurse Michelle and staff have been simply wonderful. The technology is amazing and the care received made me realise how important it is also to Adam to ensure the end result is just perfect.

I was so excited at the start to realise at last I was soon going to have a confident smile which now I can't stop using.

Thank you so much and best wishes,"

"Before having treatment I was neither upset or happy with my teeth.

They were always a little bit slanted but never looked too bad.

At the back of my mind though I always wanted my teeth straightened and corrected.

After talking to my dentist I decided to go for it and get them straightened once and for all.

Now having had the braces taken off I am pleased to show off my new smile and my straightened teeth!

It wasn't an easy journey - the braces can hurt your gums at first but they do adjust and you get used to it.

The braces are clever technology and don't change your appearance too much - in fact a relative of mine didn't even know I had braces fitted at all - during and even after I'd finished the treatment!

It was all about small forces over time to move and straighten the teeth - nothing too painful at any one moment.

The staff were very professional and have given me great service throughout the treatment.

Looking back I am happy that I had braces and I am very pleased with the results."

"I have just completed six months of Invisalign with Adam and could not be happier with the results. I have always had a protruding front tooth and crooked lower teeth which were becoming more pronounced over the years. For the first time in 54 years I am actually now being complimented on my straight teeth!

The process itself was relatively straightforward and pain free with weekly aligners which just become a way of life. Any discomfort could usually be alleviated with dental wax. I did feel a little self conscious with numerous attachments but no one seemed to notice unless I pointed them out.

I have been a patient of Adam's for over 15 years and have complete confidence in him and the rest of the team for any dental procedure. I can highly recommend Royal Mews Dental Practice."

"Following completion of my recent Invisalign treatment plan, I am so pleased with the results. Prior to treatment I wasn't overly confident in my smile and self conscious about the positioning of some of my teeth. From my initial consult with Adam through to completion, he explained everything clearly and concisely and no question was ever too much trouble. Since completing my treatment my teeth are now perfectly straight and I can smile with confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone considering similar cosmetic dentistry, the results are brilliant and the friendly and professional service received from Adam and the staff at Royal Mews Dental surgery has exceeded expectations."

"I have been visiting Adam Carstairs for a number of years, and previous to finding Adam I had had horrific experiences in the dentist chair! Needless to say when I arrived in Adams surgery my teeth were not good and I was not the easiest of patients!. He has worked miracles with my teeth and my fear of dentists he is calm, knowledgeable and explains everything that will be done and I now go voluntarily before I need work done! Thanks Adam! (and his team are lovely also!)"

"I have recently just finished a programme to have a number of veneers introduced and am writing to thank Adam Carstairs of the Royal Mews dental practice to say how pleased I am with the end result.

The final (natural) look achieved has far exceeded my expectations and is undoubtedly the result of a thorough process coupled with the excellent quality veneers that Adam has selected to work with through his own research.

Having elected to have eight teeth replaced it was reassuring to have the detailed preparatory steps explained in a relaxed and unhurried fashion. Given the process was made more complex due to the way my top and bottom sets of teeth meet, the time taken in the preparatory steps (which you don't see in the makeover programmes!) gave me reassurance and confidence at every stage that I had made the right decision.

Reflecting on the two main dental visits required to deliver the final result (first session to prepare my own teeth and fit temporary veneers, the second to fit the veneers), again I would like to commend the professionalism of Adam and his dental nurse Michelle where I feel I was I afforded the highest quality of care. I can't stress enough how important their care was in allowing me to reflect positively on the overall process – not just the final result.

If you're considering veneers, I would have no hesitation in recommending Adam."

"I had realised that over time my lower teeth were becoming more displaced and that this situation would only worsen. Although everyone was used to the way I sounded and how my teeth looked, I felt that if I didn't do something, I may reach a point where treatment was not an option.

I am delighted with the results. Initially, my objective was to improve the look of my lower teeth, which has been fully satisfied. In addition, I have subsequently found that frequent episodes with my bite, which resulted in pain to my inner lips and cheeks, have been completed resolved. This has had a greater effect on my well-being than the improvement in my looks and was completely unexpected.

My experience was not at all pleasant. If anyone is considering this procedure, they should be aware that the duration of the treatment may be longer than initially expected, and that discomfort may be acute throughout the entire process (mine was around 10 months).

I was of course very self-conscious of my looks during the treatment. However, during that time, and subsequently I've noticed that far more people have these devices fitted than anyone realises. It's only if you look specifically, that you notice people with these types of fittings on their teeth.

As usual, my experience has been as pleasant as possible. As a client of this practice for over 50 years, I am never reluctant to come for treatment. Staff are always pleasant and welcoming.

I'm sure that my particular circumstances (extreme lingual tori) made the treatment more difficult, and therefore uncomfortable. However to anyone who may be considering this procedure please consider first, the long-term benefits, before any short-term discomfort or embarrassment."
