An incredible experience. The team at the surgery have mapped out and delivered beyond any expectation. Over the last two years I have had a very successful bone graft and three new porcelain teeth fitted. Q the dentist was able to create a perfect new tooth profile for me with the latest tech in fact he three D modelled everything in real time to make them absolutely perfect. Not just dental surgeon but a bit of an artist too! I can’t recommend these guys enough. Life changing dentistry. Thank you so much.

I cannot remember the name of the Hygienist who cleaned my teeth on Tuesday 11 July 2023 . She is stupendous ..! 😬 Perhaps you could write her name in the comment box and that will draw attention to her identity because I would love to give her a thumbs up! Great asset to the team 😊 Dr. Quintus Germishuys is one of the best, if not THE BEST, dentist in London to this day!

Great team of people who genuinely care about their patients. I had a ceramic inlay done on Wednesday and it was comfortable, painless and done with great care and attention to detail. Quintus has an instantly calming manner, is clearly very experienced AND the injection was completely painless. Very happy with my new inlay and could eat on it straight away. Many thanks!

I have just completed a dental procedure with Mr. Quintus Germishuys of The Wellesley Dental Practice who once again saved one of my teeth, all of which have been affected by radiotherapy. It is not an exaggeration to say the without Quintus and his experienced team I would have lost all of my teeth. I have been with The Wellesley Dental Practice for over 18 years and would undoubtedly recommend their expertise, excellent care and friendliness to any one looking for a top quality dental practice.

Very professional practice - always make time to answer your questions, put you at ease and the treatment itself is first class.

2017: AVOID DR HENNIE VAN JAARSVELD AT ALL COSTS! I was referred to Dr Hennie Van Jaarsveld by the practice's inhouse hygienist. I had a consultation with him on 28th January, and diagnosed periodentitis. He thought it would be certain that he would need to remove some of my worse affected teeth. At 43yrs old this came as an utter shock to me. He said he would write his assessment and treatment proposal up and send it to me in due course. He believed I would need surgery, it would take 4 hours and I would need complete sedation. I returned home to Oxford in shock. I awaited his assessment results. I couldn't sleep, I suffered from panic attacks. I became hyper aware of my jaw, having been told that my bone had dissolved away and that the condition was extremely serious, and that it was only going to get worse. I found it hard to eat, I didn't want to chew anything too difficult incase my 'loose' teeth fell out. I was in a mess, breaking into tears almost every time I thought about it. I would lie in bed at night and any sensation in my teeth or jaw which were probably always present made me visualise my bone disintegrating, and I suffered from insomnia. I waited and waited for the treatment plan. It wasn't forthcming. After several calls to the practice, I finally received the email from the practice on the 11th March. I had had to wait for an agonising 7 weeks. He proposed the following: "Appointment 1: Scale and polish with the hygienist to remove all tartar, plaque and stains within the week preceding the surgical appointment. Appointment 2: This appointment will be a surgical appointment and we propose periodontal surgery in the upper jaw’s posterior sextants (from your canine teeth backwards) as well as the lower jaw. We will also extract the following teeth: 26 and 27 (upper left first and second molar teeth), 16 (upper right first molar tooth) and 37 (lower left second molar). Post surgery we can discuss the different options in terms of tooth replacement. We will require a 4 hour appointment and we propose to perform this with the benefit of intravenous sedation." 'Fees Periodontal surgery £2400 Extraction of 4 molars £480 Intravenous sedation £250 (per hour) (x4h) The above fees include the initial review appointment/s after surgery. There will be a charge for annual reviews.' Single mum on a low income, I would need to take out a payment plan, or a loan to do this, which added further stress. My mother then recommended I get a second opinion. I asked for a copy of the xray, and sought 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions to be absolutely sure. When I told these other specialists what Hennie had proposed, the first said he thought it was 'scandalous', the second said there was no way I should receive implants because I was a tooth grinder (Hennie had alluded to this being the course of action after all four teeth had been extracted), and the third and said he was 'embarrased for his profession' at the news of Hennie's treatment plan. All agreed there was no way I would need any of my teeth removed, they were healthy teeth, not causing me discomfort, and the disease could be managed and slowed using a different course of action. In the end I had treatment to the tune of £595 with Omar Patel at Summertown Dental & Implants. Amazing man, wonderful service, really caring person who I saw last Monday, over a year and 8 months after the original treament plan proposed by Hennie. My gums are healthy again, my pockets are reduced from 8s to max 5, only two places where they are 5, otherwise the majority ar 3 and 2, even some 1s in there! I am so happy, I have a treatment plan that has saved my teeth, I have a hygiene programme which is working, and I am not in debt following a course of treatment which would just cause more problems in the future. I hope this review will enourage you to seek 2nd, 3rd and even 4th opinions if necessary before embarking on a PERILOUS, EXPENSIVE, UNNECCESARY COURSE OF TREATMENT with DR JAARSVELD. Update: 7 years after leaving this review - Feb 2024 - I still have all my own teeth!!

Great dental practice, Kat at the recption is really friendly and great in booking the appointments, Amanda the Hygenist is amazing at working into the gum pockets, after regular visits my teeth are feeling incredile well and tooth decay to a minimum. She's able to pin point the problems. Laura the dentist takes great care in checking any current issues and being proactive in picking up any problems. It's a great dental practice all the staff talk to each other feels like a small family run business, highly recomend it!

I had an unfortunate experience that led to me losing two teeth. Not only did Dr. Quintus do a fantastic job, but he was also a super supportive and calming figure throughout a very traumatic time. The team at WD practice are also second to none - shoutout to Saguna! They've earned a client for life :)
