What do patients say about Evolve Dentistry?

“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.”

What do clinicians say about Evolve Dentistry?

“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

50km… and counting! 🚲💪

Our Clinical Director, Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, has just completed her longest training ride yet — an incredible 50 kilometres — as she prepares for a life-changing charity cycle from the base of Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater in February 2026.

Carol is taking on this huge challenge to raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in Tanzania. The money raised will help run an outreach and training programme where eight Dental Therapists will be trained and around 2,000 people will receive essential dental treatment.

For someone who hasn’t been on a bike in years, months of training in all weathers is no small feat — and we couldn’t be more proud of her determination.

If you’d like to support Carol and help make a genuine difference to communities with little or no access to dental care, you can donate here:

👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/carol-somerville-roberts-1

Every donation, big or small, will have an immense impact.
Thank you for cheering her on! 💜
You were expecting a big before-and-after reveal, weren’t you? 😁
Here’s the truth: the best way to save money at the dentist is simple — floss! 🦷
A few seconds a day can help prevent costly treatments later.
