Thank you very much Kajal for your professional and efficient treatment. I am very pleased with the result after a long root canal procedure. Kajal was very thorough and informative through the whole treatment with a very friendly manner.

I recently needed to have a crown removed, Root Canal Treatment, and new crown fitted. One appointment of 2.5 hours followed by another of 2 hours. Kajal explained everything very clearly for me. I could tell that Kajal and her assistant, Asfa, worked very hard during the first appointment. Other than a very little discomfort one might expect from such a procedure, this was as close to painless dentistry as was possible in my opinion! Thank you very much both of you. I am a longstanding patient of Woods Dental Practice and can highly recommend the team, including Emma the hygienist, and Sweety on reception always there to answer the phone and remind me of my appointment bookings. Thanks to you all.

My family and I have been very fortunate to have been under the excellent care of John Woods and after his retirement, Sweta and now Kajal. For several years my husband has been suffering from Parkinsons Disease.. Kajal and her assistant and receptionist and Emma his hygenist are alert in their care of him, and his changing needs. His abilities and needs are changing rapidly over time, and even from day to day. His hand movements are less co-ordinated as he attends to his oral hygiene routine at home, his ability to sit quietly for half an hour to an hour in a dentist chair is variable due to his restless legs, and he is experiencing swallowing difficulties during normal professional cleaning procedures. I am so grateful to everyone in the John Woods practice as they are open to discussing these difficulties and finding work arounds to ensure Carl's oral health is maintained despite these challenges. Thank you to all the team.

Kajal is simply the best of people, and a dedicated professional. I had struggled with bleeding gums for many years, with no practical help from ambivalent dentists over the years until Kajal really turned things around for me. A smart, committed, caring professional.

I have been a patient of Kajals for a number of years and can't recommend her enough. She always gives fantastic advice and care. I have just had some cosmetic work completed after a couple of years orthodontic work. Kajal"s attention to detail and pride in her work was obvious.

I’d highly recommend Dr Kajal Desai at Woods Dental. I’ve been visiting this practice for around 5 years. From reception, hygentist and dental care I’ve always found everyone professional and caring. I’d particularly recommend Kajal Desai who is a delight to visit. Advice is explained and always happy to answer any questions.

100% recommended I'm so glad I choose woods dental for my treatment. My dentist Kargel was very highly attentive and explained ever stage of my treatment and strangely I can't wait till I see her again.

I am impressed by the treatment that I have received (over more than twenty years). During this time I have been treated by John Woods himself, then it was Sweta and now it is Kajal.Kajal has just replaced a crown on an upper molar. It was very tricky but she handled the operation with great skill. Her assistant was also very supportive and I felt safe in their hands.Also I must mention the hygienist Emma. Nobody likes having their teeth 'pressure washed' but Emma makes it as comfortable as is possible. She is very knowledgeable about dental hygiene and also about nutrition.

I am so delighted with the treatment and care provided by Swetha Kantareddy! I have recently undergone a teeth re-alignment and whitening programme which has made such a difference. Swetha is always ready to explain exactly how the process will work and spends the right amount of time ensuring that as a patient, I totally understand and am comfortable with everything. A really first class service from a first class dentist, thank you Swetha!

Swetha Kantareddy is an excellent dental surgeon. I have been pleased with the way in which she explains every aspect of her work with the patient. She has a positive, supportive communication style which ensures patient confidence. She consults the patient and offers options for the best ways forward. Swetha is, in my opinion, an excellent dentist. In addition all support and administrative staff I have met at the practice are positive in their work and helpful.

The best dentist I’ve been too!Dr Nikesh is very professional, approachable and welcoming to his patients.Throughout the treatment he takes the time to explain what he is doing and also advises on the best option for future dental care. His dedication and passion for dentistry really shows in his work, on a recent visit I had a filling and can’t even tell it’s been done!!Highly recommended, great work!

I went to see Nikesh Rai last Monday for a check up and to fix my crown. I tend to be quite nervous when going to the dentist, however Nikesh made me feel completely relaxed! He explained each step off the way and made me felt reassured throughout.After the clean, my teeth felt amazing. My crown feels great, can’t tell that there is a crown there, aligns with my bite really well!Overall, great experience with a fantastic dentist! Thank you Nikesh! Will definitely be going back to him.

All 4 of us in our family (two adults, two teenage children) are very well looked after by Swetha and her team. The service is excellent, always very friendly and as accommodating as possible with timings/wishes, be it for a routine check up, emergency treatment, teeth alignment work or replacing broken retainers. In particular, Swetha did an excellent job sorting out the alignment of my teeth. The whole process from beginning to end was very well explained, took the approximate timeframe Swetha indicated at the outset and my "new teeth" have given me such a lift.

I have recently undergone dental implant treatment and a teeth whitening programme with Swetha Kantareddy and am delighted with the results. I am a nervous patient and Swetha went out of her way to make me feel at ease. Every step was explained in detail which gave me complete confidence throughout the procedures. Swetha and her team are warm, friendly and very professional and it is reassuring to know I am in the best capable hands.

Swetha Kantareddy is a dental genius! I was so happy with the amazing result she gave me of whitening and composite bonding! She explains everything and is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Totally recommend this dental practice.

I was a terribly apprehensive patient following traumatic dental experiences as a child. I never thought I would be in a position to so sincerely recommend a dentist and am delighted to now be able to. Swetha Kantareddy is a true marvel. Supremely professional, understanding, knowledgeable and approachable. Swetha has the best dentist to patient manner I have ever experienced, so encouraging and supportive and is wonderfully complimented by the welcoming team at this practice. My on-going experience with Swetha and her team has been wholly positive ... without doubt this is the practice to go to!Lesley. GStevenage

My experience here has been much better than any other dental practices that I've been to in the past. I have received outstanding levels of work done by dentist Swetha Kantareddy and Hygienist Emma Whitford.Unlike my past experiences, those who work here are patient with their work and meticulously ensure patients receive the best possible outcome. They are also a team that prioritise patient's benefits over profit when prescribing treatments.I am glad to have discovered this practice when I moved to Stevenage.

Lovely staff who are very helpful and friendly. The surgery is clean and comfortable and the dentist Swetha actively listens and takes time to provide great feedback and personally follows up after major dental procedures. Highly recommended.

From Susan Carty:A change of dentist always causes a little apprehension for me but my first appointment allayed any concerns i may have felt. The very friendly, warm and professional treatment I subsequently recieved from Swetha Kantareddy and her team were execeplary.Many years ago I worked as a dental nurse in a number of practises so feel in a good position to highly recommend Swetha and her team to take good care of any dental treatment required.

Jackie Warner

I felt compelled to leave Swetha a review as I wish to thank her openly for the pioneering work she has implemented on my teeth. Completely life changing!! Swetha is so very talented, compassionate, enthusiastic and dedicated (even calling me whilst she was at home to discuss my options) I cannot thank her and her friendly dedicated team enough. After suffering from mental scars from being tormented from jibes as a child I can now smile proudly and enjoy the rest of my life. Priceless!! You will also find a warm welcome at her practice and so no surprise when I state Highly Recommended 😁

Replacing lost or missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and appearance If you’re looking into dentures in Stevenage, Woods Dental can help you find the right solution for your smile.

Full or complete dentures replace natural teeth and provide facial structure support for cheeks and lips.

Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak.

Denture are appliances that allow individuals to eat healthily and smile with confidence. Complete or full dentures replace every tooth in either the upper or lower jaw. Partial denture fills the space from missing or lost teeth, and connect with the natural teeth by precision attachments or metal clasps.

The base of denture are called plates and can be made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures. Dentures cost can vary depending on the materials used and whether you need full or partial denture, so it’s worth discussing your options with the team at Woods Dental.

Bridges

Besides having dental implants, there are two main ways to replace missing teeth.

The first is with a removable false tooth or teeth – a partial denture.

The second is with a fixed bridge.

A bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth. Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base.

If the bridge will show, porcelain is then bonded to the base. Sometimes, there are other non-precious metals used in the base to reduce the cost.

You should replace missing teeth for a number of reasons. Your appearance is one reason.

Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can mean greater strain is put on the teeth on either side.

A gap can also mean your ‘bite’ is affected because the teeth next to the space can lean into the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth bite together.

This can then lead to food getting packed into the gap, which causes both decay and gum disease.
