Patient testimonials
”I am delighted with my new implant. Following a root fracture, I was devastated at the thought of losing a tooth. I can, however, now testify to having undergone this treatment pain and anxiety free. So much so, I hadn't realised the initial implant placement had taken place.”
“Quite simply, my decision to have implants done by Jillian Clare at Philip Friel dental surgery is one of the best I have ever taken. The final result is completely convincing and aesthetically exactly what I envisaged. The treatment throughout the process was clearly state-of-the-art and absolutely meticulous.”

Implant case referral policies, procedures and administration
All referral types are welcomed. Referring dentists are kept fully informed of planning, options and progress of treatment.
We work closely with and mentor GDPs who wish to incrementally introduce dental implantology into their treatment offering. This is by prior arrangement and such mentoring includes treatment planning, extraction techniques, grafting to maintain bone following extraction and the restoration of dental implants.
The clinic works closely with referring dentists who wish to learn more about dental implant treatments with a view to being able to offer these treatments themselves, following completion of appropriate training. We offer mentoring services and regularly run introductory courses in the clinic.
Dentist testimonials
“Phil's dentistry is of the highest possible standards and I trust him impeccably with my teeth. Phil has carried out complex implant treatment on myself and all procedures were completely painless with minimum post-operative discomfort. I thoroughly recommend Philip Friel for dentistry.”
Dr Cathy Sinclair, Barnhill Dental Practice in Broughy Ferry, (referring dentist and patient)
“The results of my treatment speak for themselves, my initial hopes were to have a smile that was natural, I didn't want to appear as if I'd had my teeth done...
As a dentist myself I was always going to be hard to please, but the care and attention to detail that both Dr Friel and his technician put in to ensure the final results humbled me...”
Dr David Bell, Ireland, (referring dentist and patient)
