  I had Invisalign treatment with Avi in Croydon and couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, straightforward, and easy to follow. Avi was always reassuring, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment. I had a special occasion coming up, and he tailored my treatment plan to help ensure I achieved the best possible results in time for it. He was flexible and accommodating throughout the process, and his patient manner is excellent. I always felt well looked after and confident I was in good hands. If you're looking for a dentist in Croydon, especially for Invisalign treatment, I would highly recommend Avi.

  I’ve had a really positive experience with Dr Avi and his colleagues throughout my Invisalign treatment. The team has been professional, friendly, and supportive at every appointment. I’ve been having my Invisalign treatment at one of the Croydon branches, and I’m so pleased with the results. My teeth look great, and the improvement in my smile has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr Avi and the team to anyone considering Invisalign or looking for excellent dental care.

  I did Invisalign and composite with both Dr.Avi and Dr.Prabjot and I can say they are both extremely patient and they communicate well and are very gentle with taking you through the process and making sure you are very happy with your results. Grateful for both and had a good experience.

  Friendly and confidence-inspiring care Avi was incredibly friendly and approachable, which instantly put me at ease. He took the time to understand my needs and assured me with confidence that he could help realign my teeth, even with the tight timeline I had. His professionalism and reassurance made this a fantastic experience.

  Great service all by the Gentle care team. A special thanks to my dentist Avinash Sachdev. Very professional and friendly. Has always given me good advice on the best course of action and expect outcome. I was well attended to and not only regarding my recent Invisalign treatment BUT generally each time I pop in with any questions.
