Great friendly professional service T F2025-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter had some overcrowding especially on her upper jaw so we decided to get braces for her to make room for her teeth to line up properly. Dr. Chris was absolutely excellent. We didn't know what to expect at first, but he was professional, communicative, informative and courteous throughout. He explained the whole end-to-end process and guess what? Everything went exactly how he said it would. In fact, our daughter was able to complete her course a little earlier than we'd expected, which was perfect as it was just before the summer holidays. She was overjoyed, as were we. Cannot recommend Aesthetika highly enough. Superb.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 226 reviews
