This is a fantastic dental practice. I had Invisalign, bonding and whitening done by Reshma with amazing results, and she was always very supportive, attentive and friendly - particularly impressive during my long bonding appointment! Excellent care from Jackie during these appointments as well, always ensuring you’re as comfortable as possible, and Izzy on reception is lovely and positive! Very happy I decided to go here for my treatment!

I'm so happy I choose to go to this practice.
Was ashamed and scared about my teeth.
Felt at ease and very confident after my free consultation with Ali. No pressure was given and Ali gave me a few options to decide financially and practically of how to proceed.
I am over the moon with my implants and now can smile again . Thank you all at Regency .
Andrea Williams
Just came back from St Albans had a wonderful session with Natasha who did a wonderful job on my teeth considering I was scared of the dentist and went once every four years I made an appointment for three months time to see them again now thats real dentist progress
Linda Wachsmann
I had a root canal at Regency House 6 months ago and am very pleased with the result. The procedure was over quickly and I have not needed re-treatment. Hatem is very professional and clearly knows his stuff. The pricing was competitive too. I would trust these guys to crown my tooth too based on this experience.
Pro tip: put some decent headphones on and play some loud music and it'll all be over before you know it!
