AI Review Summary

Mr Andrew Sidebottom puts patients at ease. He offers clear explanations, ensuring patients understand care. Many patients find surgical outcomes successful, with good pain management. His most common areas of treatment involve temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues and wisdom teeth removal.
I was very apprehensive about having my implant procedure. However it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and efficiently it all went. No pain even afterwards. I was very impressed with Mr Sidebottoms care. Highly recommended.

Thank you. Im pleased it all went smoothly.
My experience was so much better than I could possibly have imagined. Andrew was everything a dental surgeon should be. I went in full of anxiety, and came out almost dancing!
Thank you. I hope your positive experience continues.
Mr Andrew Sidebottom was nothing but incredible from start to finish. He was friendly, approachable, knowledgable and most importantly had genuine care in the lead-up, pre and post surgery for our 2 years old little girl. We couldn't have asked for better care and quality.
Thank you. I hope she continues to do well.
Mr Sidebottom is a brilliant surgeon who I highly recommend, he has a calm and reassuring manner, in addition to that he actively listens to your questions and explains everything very clearly. I had full confidence in his ability and that was confirmed when I had no complications or pain following my surgery. He was helpful at each step of the way, from my initial consultation to my final follow up. Please know that you are in good hands with Mr Sidebottom.
That you for your kind words
Mr Sidebottom is very professional and he spends the time listening to your concerns and issues, he explained what was causing the issues in a manner which I understood and easy to absorb long term. The treatment was self administered through the use of massage of the affected area and the use of pain relief gels and the use a mouth splint. Having been reviewed periodically, I am very pleased with the outcome and with Mr Sidebottom professionalism. Definitely recommend to others.
Thank you. Avoidance of surgical intervention is ideal in teh management of temporomandibular disorder. Similarly collaboration with treatment is often of therapeutic benefit. Im pleased that everything is settling with simple measures.
I recently had a granuloma removed from my gums and I was made to feel really comfortable the whole time and was checked on throughout the procedure. It was quick, pain-free and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you. Im pleased it has all turned out well.
I feel really settled with him he explains things clearly and fully understood what he was telling me
Thank you. I try to communicate n understandable English not medical speak!
Mr Andrew has been thoroughly professional, yet kind and gentle in my dealings with him. His grip on his subject and the ability to clearly communicate assured me greatly that I'd be in the safe hands.
Thank you for your trust in me
I would highly recommend Mr Sidebottom. He is both clear and direct in his communication and explanations. I felt at ease from my initial consultation, and this continued throughout my procedure and follow up.
Thank you
Would 100% recommend Mr. Sidebottom, made me feel so comfortable throughout my whole experience, my surgery was successful and everything went well. He made me understand everything happening would always use home
Thank you
