When I first came to Manor House, I hadn't been to the dentist in 9 years because I was terrified of dentists. But I'd always been self-conscious about my smile and I wanted to change it. It's been a long journey, but today I finally have the smile that I want and I feel so confident and beautiful. Every single member of staff is so lovely and welcoming and I wouldn't have wanted to go on this journey with anyone else. If you guys read this review, thank you so much! You're all beautiful people and you've made a massive change to my confidence.
