I actually can't believe these are my teeth!!! So after about 4 separate consulations at 4 different clinics, I finally found Charl. I knew pretty much straight away that this was going be the man to sort out my super overcrowded teeth. He was the only orthodontist to actually listen to what I wanted. To give you a bit of back story, I had braces as a teen but sadly didn't understand the importance of wearing my retainer not just after having my fixed braces removed but forever. Fast forward to my mid-thirties and my teeth are all over the place, especially my bottom row. The overcrowding was so bad that previous orthodontists had mentioned the likelihood of having to have a tooth removed to create enough space to straighten them up. Obviously that wasn't something I wanted, but I was considering it. Shortly after that covid struck and we were in lockdown, so no orthodontists were open and when they did re-open there was such a huge backlog of patients to attend to that the wait was going to be a few months. That's when a company (I won't mention the name) promising a perfect smile in a min of 4 months popped up with no clinic visits and my impatience and lack of funds drew me in. Needless to say this didn't work out for me because I was terrible at remembering to wear the removable aligners, so out of the 22 hours wear that you are supposed to do, I was maybe managing 14! Back to the drawing board I went, thinking that I was going to be stuck with these teeth that protruded out of mouth every time I spoke, I started to research local clinics that were offering fixed clear braces. I went to a couple of different clinics near by where I live, but they were really trying to push the clear aligners on to me and I knew myself by then and I knew I couldn't be trusted to wear them 24 hours a day and it wasn't what I was asking for. I almost gave up my search until I found the Newbury Smile Studio offering '6 months smiles'. They were about 30 mins away from me but I was determined to see what they had to offer. When I met Charl and his team for the first time, they were so friendly and inviting, I just felt at ease straight away. Charl listened to me as I told him everything I'd been through and what I hoped to achieve and he didn't try to sell anything but what I had asked for. He talked me through the plan, how long it would take, how much it would cost and before I had even left the chair I knew that I wanted to go ahead with the treatment. The first week of having the fixed braces was uncomfortable but tolerable. I had to eat soft foods and learn how to speak again but after that it was a breeze and the time seem to fly by! Now I have the most perfect set of teeth and and I couldn't be happier and if I had to do it all again to get the same result, I'd do it again in a heartbeat! However, I do intend to wear my retainer and take the after care alot more serioulsy this time! Thank you, Charl and Team!

As I got older my teeth changed, became crooked and the old composite was worn. I had a gap developing between front teeth that looked like pepper constantly in my teeth. I got 6 month smile braces and new composite. I also got whitener for my teeth. The change is amazing. I get so many complements on my teeth and smile now. Well worth the investment in my smile. Straighter teeth will be much healthier. Highly recommend Dr Charl.

I have always been super impressed with Charl and his team. They are accommodating, professional and always seem to have the best new methods and technology to do the job. I have now passed several friends to Smile Studio and will continue to do so. Flawless...

The best dentist experience I have ever had! Not only did my dental work not hurt at all, but it was relaxing and a nice experience. Charl is incredibly warming and keeps your nerves at ease! He really is amazing! I’m so glad I found him!!!

The team at Newbury Smile Studio are excellent. They are all very professional, welcoming and friendly. I have been going there for 30 yrs and I know I will always get expert treatment and advice from a very caring group of people.
