Den Dental Group has been using DecaDent since April 2013. The service they offer is exceptional. I can’t speak highly enough of Mike Bojko for servicing our chairs and suction motors, his experience and knowledge outweighs any of the previous companies we have used in the past. Managing the equipment for a fairly large company, the communication I receive from Mike is excellent, I am kept up to date and informed of everything that is going on in every one of our practices. The communication extends to the DecaDent office; the service is fantastic. The team are very professional and give you their undivided attention however big or small the job. They respond very quickly and are always on the end of the phone. They also keep me informed of every stage from ordering and lead times right through to when products have been dispatched.

Debbie Boorer, Den Dental Group - Devon

Miles and the DecaDent Team offered me a great service from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to other dentist’s considering refurbishing their practice. If there was one bit of advice I could offer it would be ‘go for the A-dec 500 chair, it is the best and most comfortable and technically advanced chair I have ever used; wonderful!

Anthea Hardiman, Stoke Lane Dental Practice

In order to achieve “best practice” we decided to install a decontamination room in our Grade 2 listed building. Miles Tucker from DecaDent arrived promptly, following my call, to plan and advise. We quickly came up with a plan, and I had plans drawn within a week. The workmen arrived two weeks later, I have rarely seen more committed or tidier workers, within a total of five working days it was done! Cabinets, flooring, plumbing, decoration and equipment.

Dr Phil Bennett, Lyme Bay Dentistry

We at Savernake Forest Dental Practice were faced with a difficult challenge; to relocate our practice over a weekend. With help from Tony and Miles, our 4 surgeries were dismantled, moved and reinstalled with minimal fuss thanks to thorough planning and great expertise. Along with their good humour and reasonable costs we have had excellent service.

Jonathan Taylor and Judith Denning, Savernake Forest Dental Practice - Marlborough

On behalf of Warrington House Dental practice I would like to say how impressed we all are on the refurbishment of one of our surgeries. Your designs brought us from the 1970’s to 2011. We were especially pleased with the courtesy shown to our patient’s, staff and visitors by your entire team. I was truly grateful to be able to hand over the project managing into your capable hands allowing me to get on with the running of the practice. It was an added bonus having Andy Boulton available on the end of the phone to answer my endless questions. I did not expect that the surgery would be up and running 4 days ahead of my deadline and that we did not incur any extra costs, far surpassed my expectations. I thought that you might like to know that our patients have been impressed with the WOW factor when they see the refurbished surgery.

Chris White, Warrington House Dental Practice

I have used Decadent from the smallest jobs to complete surgery redesign and its always provided with great customer service. It’s often hard in the dental industry to find a company that you can rely upon to deliver on their promises and put the customer first, but decadent always deliver. Even when tested with my design ideas they come through with a complete refit that looks fantastic and took the stress out of the process with a full turn key service. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Ceri Owen Roberts, Elgin Park Dental Practice
We recently relocated our practice from a small two surgery practice in an old Victorian town house, to a brand-new purpose built four surgery practice located by the river. After ringing Deca-dent to see if they could give us a quote, I had the good fortune of contacting Alex Partt, who promptly came down to Cornwall to meet with us in person and listen to our plans. From that moment on we had nothing but the highest quality customer service imaginable, Alex was at our disposal throughout the whole process, either on the end of the phone night and day, or in person at the drop of a hat. He helped us work through every detail of the relocation and was always there to suggest great ideas and solutions to any of our problems along the way.

The team at Deca-dent provided us with two new A-Dec 500 chairs, a new compressor, centralised suction motor, four new x-ray units, all the cabinetry for four surgeries, the decontamination room and the staff kitchen and even helped source and fit our main reception desk complete with our practice logo emblazoned on the front.

All of the work carried out, including equipment supplied and fitted, was done so on time and to a very high standard, integrating seamlessly around all the other trades involved in the build, as the new premises evolved in to the amazing practice we now have.

I cannot recommend Deca-dent enough for all their hard work and skill in helping us realise our dreams and this has been reinforced by the countless compliments and positive feedback from all our patients.

Park Chambers, Wadebridge
We feel fortunate to have forged a great relationship with the team at DecaDent. At our first meeting with MD, Miles, he understood what we wanted to achieve and that we wanted to do something a little bit different. We embarked on a project of fully renovating 4 surgeries working closely with DecaDent… we had free reign to choose our colour schemes, themes for the walls and the technology we wanted to include which was all made possible with their expert knowledge. We now continue our relationship with our annual service package and also engineering support… Mike Bojko is quite an exceptional engineer and puts up with us beautifully!
Kerry Newton-Marsh, The Smile Centre, Liskeard

We were lucky enough to have our practice fitted out by DecaDent. We found them very knowledgeable and professional. The level of service and communications have been second to none. Without them our practice would not be what it is today.

Quayside Orthodontics
I could write a 10,000 word dissertation on how Decadent have transformed a 2000’s decrepit high street bank into the best looking dental clinic in the UK and helped us on the way to becoming officially the Best Dental Clinic in the South West and Wales but I’ll save that for my grandchildren.

But what I will say is this: if you’re looking to build a squat, refurb, add a surgery, relocate, buy equipment or just need solid, dependable maintenance company without getting dental taxed to high heaven (which we all know it happens) then these are your guys.

They built everything for us. From planning the floor layout to hanging the final mirrors, Alex, Dave and their incredible team have been phenomenal. No ask is too big, no details are too small. They will get it right and they know how to do it properly.

Our team love coming to work in our new home and our clients cannot be anything but wowed every single time they walk through the door. Our clinic is special and you guys are too.

Thanks a million..

Gareth Edwards & Zak Kara, Smile Stories, Bournemouth
Decadent managed the project with skill, delivered to date and problem solved when required. Their building team is the best I have seen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company for your build. Very pleased with results!
Dr Elizabeth Eilertsen, Eilertsen Dental Care, Plymouth

DecaDent – excellent. Really good company. No job too small. Always somebody to answer your call to get you going again. Engineers are well experienced and knowledgeable. Spare parts come quickly and are fitted with efficiency, friendly sensible advice. Thoroughly recommend this newcomer to the market having built up a really good rapport with the team over the years.
