My smile is now a little wider and worn more confidently after my most recent trip to COLLINS DENTAL IMAGE. . I have been a patient of Dr Lesley Brown for a long time and had several minor as well as major dental work done by her. I have always been very happy and satisfied. Not only is Dr Brown the most amazing dentist but the whole team at the practice are fantastic too. The reception staff, namely Romily, sends reminders of upcoming appointments and additionally contacts me after major dental procedures. It's comforting knowing that you will receive genuine care from all the dental team

My dental hygienist also provides meticulous
