Con artists. Tried to get me to spend £800 on major gum treatment because I said my gums were sore (and had been for a couple of years since my last wisdom tooth extraction, done at Eledent). The X-ray itself didn't show anything significant other than a slight receding gum line, but after about ten mins of scaremongering, he almost convinced me that my teeth were definitely going to fall out - after about 30 years. I figured if I really had gum disease I would be in a worse state than I actually was. Then after all that, he realised that I also had an oddly angled wisdom tooth that might be the cause of the soreness- he missed that when he first looked at the X-ray. Still, he strongly recommended the intensive gum treatment with an Eledent specialist. Decided to get a second opinion: went to an NHS dentist. By the time of my appointment at the NHS dentist a couple of weeks later, with daily flossing and switching to an electric toothbrush, the soreness in my gums had virtually disappeared. The NHS dentist concluded that all I need is regular cleaning to treat/prevent things like gingivitis. Saved 100s of pounds. I'm sure for basic services like hygiene Eledent are fine, and aside from the scare tactics their bedside manner is good, but if they recommend really expensive treatment, I would get a second opinion. read more
