I qualified as a dentist in 1995 and can honestly say that I have been doing a job that I love for the past 20 plus years. Most people who know me well know that dentistry is a passion for me and that if I won the lottery I would still want to have some dentistry in my life. I get huge satisfaction from treating patients and making a difference to ...
I recently had restorative work done on my upper and lower front teeth, followed by three implants to fill spaces in my upper back jaw by Dr Ashley Davenport at Balsall Common Dental Practice. This extensive dental work was carried out over a period of several months as the restorative work and implants required time to integrate and complete.
All through the treatment I was kept fully informed and briefed on progress and next steps. The treatment itself was pain-free, although long and naturally sometimes uncomfortable. Dr Davenport and his staff were always most solicitous and reassuring.
I have been most impressed with the final results. For the first time in years, I no longer have gaps visible when I smile but, more importantly, I can now chew food with much increased efficiency. I have been most impressed with how much improved my front teeth appear, and with how natural and efficient the implants are in appearance and function.
I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending the dental practice to others who may require similar and routine dental work.- read more

Five Star Service from a great team. I recently had a dental implant, which I was very nervous about. Ashley, Cath, Cathy, Kirsty and all the team were so helpful and supportive throughout the entire process and really looked after me. Nothing was too much trouble. I now have a lovely implant. I would highly recommend this practice - very professional, friendly and service is second to none. Thank you all.- read more

In early 2012 I embarked on a course of treatment to solve a major problem with my "Bite". The treatment has involved braces, 3 extractions, 3 fillings, 5 crowns and an implant. When the treatment began I was so terrified of dental procedures that even a small filling would leave me shaking and crying for at least an hour. Here we are more than 3 years later and (whilst I still truly hate injections) I feel calm and secure during treatment. That mindset is purely down to the professional and caring attitude afforded me by Ashley and his lovely team. Never again will I feel scared or worried about dental treatment and, as an added bonus, at the tender age of 60 I finally have a decent smile. I have no hesitation in recommending Ashley Davenport and the team at the Balsall Common Dental Practice.- read more
