In this blog, we’re really pleased to be able to share the dental journey of one of our recent patients at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, Bristol. James came to us because he had always been unhappy with his smile and his upcoming wedding day had given him the impetus to do something about it.
James said: ‘I had lots of gaps in my teeth, I never had them sorted when I was a kid and I called it my “council house smile!” So although I’d always wanted to do something about it, it was our impending wedding that triggered me into finding out what could be done within the timescale that I had.’
‘I shopped around by speaking to three or four orthodontists and although Evolve Dentistry was actually the furthest one away from me, they were definitely my first choice. Not only were they a good couple of hundred pounds cheaper, they were the most helpful right from the word go. Initially I spoke to the receptionist who was very helpful over the phone, and then at my first consultation Lisa, the orthodontist, was just brilliant.’
‘I found everything about the treatment really good. Everyone I spoke took the time to explain each aspect to me – I dealt with Lisa the orthodontist, Joanne the hygienist and also Julie who is the treatment coordinator; she provided me with really useful advice. At each stage they would take plenty of time to explain everything to me, every member of the Evolve team is extremely patient!’
‘I felt really cared for right from the outset. Everyone had the primary concern of getting my treatment done in time for our wedding, so they were all very supportive and were a part of the same pressure that I was under! Because of this there was a real sense that we were all in it together with the same goal and deadline in sight.’
‘There was one point, about three or four weeks before my wedding, when a tweak was made and I wasn’t quite happy when I got home. I told them about my concerns and they booked me straight in to see them the next day; it was even Lisa’s day off but she came in. Everyone at Evolve really made me feel like they cared about me and my treatment.’
‘I am absolutely over the moon with the results; Evolve Dentistry gets a big 10/10 from me! I would recommend them to anyone, not only were they good value for money, they are great at what they do. Everyone was lovely too, especially Lisa, she really cares about her work and her patients; I even looked forward to all of my visits!’
James had orthodontic treatment to close the gaps in his smile using fixed ceramic brackets, which gave him the result he was looking for. We also provided tooth whitening to really make his smile wedding ready and, as you can see, the results speak for themselves! If there’s something about your smile that you’ve always been unhappy with, or you’d like some treatment in time for a big event, give us a call on 01275 842550 to book a consultation.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
