Anne Watts ( SMILE MAKEOVER )
"If you plan to visit a dentist while in Goa Dr Ambert Pimenta and his team can certainly be recommended, they are professional, caring and friendly. I am very happy indeed with the treatment I received, I only had one week and all the work was done in that time on two visits. Now back in England friends can't get over the difference and I can't stop smiling"

Deborah Gove : ( SMILE MAKEOVER)
"I arrived back in bonny Scotland after my
trip to Goa to snow and minus 3 temperatures but thankfully it has now
cleared and looks like spring is finally on its way.
I would like to let you know that I am just delighted with my new
crowns, my bite feels good and so natural now as I am used to it
completely. No one at work had noticed the change so must admit I've
been doing a lot of dazzling around here"

Victor and Janet Hobbs
"In January 2007, I visited the dental surgery of Dr. Ambert Pimenta. I had not been in a dentist surgery for 24 years ! and my teeth were in a terrible state. Dr. Ambert advised me a major reconstruction. I had occasion to visit the practice 4 times. The treatment and atmosphere completely surpassed all of my expectations to the extent that my fear of dental treatment is just a thing of the past. I no longer have to out my hand over my mouth when I smile as I am proud to show off the dental work that was carried out. Dr Ambert and his staff are very calming, excellent and professional and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart"

Paul Godwin : (VENEERS)
"From the moment I entered into the surgery late one Saturday afternoon, I felt totally relaxed and under no obligation from Ambert who spent a lot of time explaining what options were available so that I could have a complete makeover and to create the perfect new smile for myself. I was shown many photos of the work his team have carried out and was very impressed with what I was shown.

The atmosphere within the surgery is very relaxing and comfortable, the facilities and equipment are top class as with the hygiene standards.

I had a total of 16 E-max II top quality porcelain veneers fitted, the whole process taking just under 8.5 hours spread over 4 appointments including the initial half hour consultation.

I only had 8 days left of my holiday left and believe me the work was carried out within that time limit including a few days to relax on the beach. The appointments were never a problem and could be booked for late evening so as not to disrupt your holiday Dr Ambert you have improved my looks and boosted my confidence and have carried out a fantastic painless transformation

Thank you very much for your professional help"

I could never have believed that my terrible crooked yellow teeth could be transformed into a perfect bright Hollywood smile. From the moment you enter the stylish air conditioned surgery his team of dedicated staff make you feel relaxed and comfortable. I was never exposed to any pushy sales pitch, just good sound advise and a very caring and professional treatment process. I was clearly informed of my treatment options and was always given every consideration regarding my comfort. Now back in the UK I am the envy of my friends and family for my beautiful smile. I also have a bright new confidence that has changed my whole outlook on life, all thanks to Dr.Ambert and his fantastic team"
