We are delighted to inform you that Mike Gregory is offering a denture referral option at Evolve Dentistry, Portishead. Mike has over 40 years of experience working in dentistry, having originally trained as a technician, before he qualified as a dentist at Bristol University. He has spent the last 25 years as a part-time Teaching Fellow at the Dental School in Bristol sharing his passion for the subject by teaching the undergraduates. Mike can now provide beautiful, natural-looking dentures here at Evolve Dentistry. He uses his vast experience to craft the dentures doing most of the technical work himself to ensure that he achieves the exact requirements of the patient, providing a personal service with an exceptional level of care.
Our aim is to ensure that both the patient and the referring dentist are delighted with the treatment and care we provide.
“I couldn’t recommend Evolve enough!! Lisa is my orthodontist there and she is simply the best, she has worked wonders on my teeth which has given me the confidence to smile!! Not forgetting to mention the staff are all lovely and super friendly!”
“I had been seeing another Bristol dentist, as due to cancer treatment, I had lost the bone in my mouth which caused my bridge and teeth to become unstable. My dentist informed me that it wouldn’t be possible to have implants. It was a very big decision to have dentures but my dentist recommended Mike Gregor as he said he would be the best person to deal with my situation. I immediately felt safe with Mike as he informed me of all the stages I would have to go through. It was a stressful time but Mike and his assistant reassured me. I have had to return for adjustments and they have been available even throughout the coronavirus situation. Finally, I am delighted with the look of my dentures and enjoy smiling again.”
“Thank you so much for all the care and attention you have given x’s treatment. Her teeth look amazing and the process has been very professional and seamless.”
“I was referred to Mike for some denture work, so hadn’t made a conscious choice to come to Evolve. However, from my very first appointment I felt in very safe hands. Mike listened to my thoughts, hopes and expectations, he explained the whole process and answered all my questions. Having completed my treatment I have come away with dentures that have far exceeded my expectations. I have had to return on a couple of occasions for some minor tweaks and have found that nothing is too much trouble. If I need any denture work in the future I will definitely be returning to see Mike. I have found the whole process at Evolve to be very relaxed and professional.”
“I have had the good fortune to know Mike Gregory over the last twenty five years, both as a colleague and a friend. I referred all my difficult cases to him, always assured of a successful result! My sister, needing a metal upper partial denture for the first time, having had it fitted, has never had to return for any clinical readjustment! My husband (also a Dental Surgeon) and I are both patients of Mike Gregory’s, as are most of my friends and acquaintances.” – Dr Emily Tingle
“I first started using Mike Gregory after a stressful case, that I couldn’t manage, after endless retry appointments I gave up and sent her to Mike. The result was so amazing, and the patient was so delighted. I now try and send all my denture patients to him. He really is the master of the dark art of dentures. – Dr Katherine Leeming BDS MFDS RCS (Ed)
“Dr Mike Gregory has a unique knowledge and skill base, which marries his clinical and technical expertise to produce excellent quality denture work. Understanding and meeting his patients’ needs are of utmost importance to Dr Mike Gregory. With his caring manner and down to earth approach, he can put even the most nervous patients at ease.” – Dr Rebecca Wignall BSc BDS PG Cert

We’re excited to invite you to a special event we’re hosting at Evolve Dentistry on Monday 15th December, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
From 10am to 3pm, we’ll be running a Cyclathon at the practice to help raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in communities that need it most.
This year, our very own Carol Somerville Roberts is taking on the incredible Peaks to Plains Safari Cycle Challenge in Tanzania, and this event is part of her fundraising efforts.
How you can get involved:
🚴♂️ Hop on a bike – join us for a few minutes (or more!) and help us cover as many miles as possible.
💙 Come along to cheer us on – your support means so much.
📱 Make a donation on the day – we’ll have SumUp, cash collection, and QR code donation options available.
If the weather is kind, we’ll be cycling outside Evolve; if not, we’ll set up indoors, so the event will go ahead either way.
Whether you’re keen to pedal or just pop by to show your support, we’d absolutely love to see you there. Every mile and every pound makes a real difference to the communities Bridge2Aid supports.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and encouragement — it means the world to us and to Carol.

✨ What is amalgam removal — and when do we use the SMART protocol?
In this video, Carol Somerville Roberts explains what amalgam removal involves and the different options available to patients.
Some patients choose to have their amalgam fillings replaced for cosmetic reasons, while others request that the removal is carried out using the SMART protocol.
For those who request the SMART protocol, it provides an enhanced approach designed to minimise exposure during the procedure, with additional safety measures for both patients and our team.
If you’re considering having your amalgam fillings replaced — with or without the SMART protocol — our team is here to guide you through your options. 💙
