I have been a patient with Matthew for almost 20 years and even
though I have moved out of the area, I continue to visit Matthew
for my dental work.
Like most people, I have a slight fear of dentistry - but it is
to Matthew's credit that he manages that aspect tremendously
well.
More important than that is that Matthew is exceptionally
professional and he keeps up to date on all developments in
dentistry. He is also really good at explaining the work he
is doing on my mouth - and why he is doing it.
He did an implant for me in 2008 and was excellent at managing
that challenging process.
I would not hesitate to recommend him as a dentist and providing
implants for anyone.

After many years of suffering a dental phobia I visited Holyoak
dental practice over ten years ago and received extensive cosmetic
treatment which gave me a new confidence in life and a new
confidence in dentistry.
Matthew has remained my dentist ever since and i still
visit the practice knowing I am being cared for professionally, not
just by Matthew but by the whole team.

The thought of major implant treatment was very daunting
for me, however the whole procedure was made bearable by the
amazing support from Matthew and all his team.
Every step was explained clearly and the six months of
treatment passed very quickly. The reception area at the
practice is very bright and comfortable with a brilliant
selection of magazines.
I am delighted with the end result now that all the
treatment has been completed, thank you everyone.
One more thing - Matthew is supported by a professional and
friendly team who always look after clients (patients?) very
well.

I had various dental and gum problems over a number of years
starting in my teens. I was 21 when I had my two front teeth
crowned but as the years went by and I had a
few other crowns there were problems with my gums as some of
the crowns were ill-fitting. My one main fear was of having to wear
dentures. A friend mentioned Matthew's name to me and so I made an
appointment and it was with some trepidation that I arrived at his
surgery. In contrast, I left feeling confident that dentures were
quite out of the question.
After somewhere between 12-18 months of treatment I had a smile
to be proud of. The crowns looked amazing and the gum surgery had
evened up the appearance of my teeth. For the first time in my life
I was being complimented on my smile and teeth. That was roughly 10
years ago and I have no recurrence of the previous problems. I have
recommended Matthew to friends of mine and I would say to anyone
who has fears of losing their teeth, or wanting to improve their
smile, don't hesitate, it will be well worth your while.

At the age of 78 , as you can imagine, I have visited many
dentists over the years, some good and many not so good - with
regard to Matthew Holyoak, I would like to say he is one of the
very best.
I find him a very pleasant person and a most knowledgeable,
highly skilled dental surgeon. Most importantly, he does not
automatically recommend the most expensive treatment but the
explains the best solution to your dental problem.

I was 8yrs old when following an accident at school I lost one
of my front teeth. I subsequently suffered with abscesses and after
2 episectomy's I discovered Matthew Holyoak.
Matthew decided to crown my front tooth, but suggested that when
I was old enough I should have an implant.The crown and subsequent
gum surgery improved my appearance immediately.
At the age of 22yrs Matthew prepared my gums for an implant
which was carried out successfully.
Thanks to Matthew and his team I have a lovely smile and
regained my confidence

I have been going to Matthew for my dental care for around ten
years. From the moment you enter the door of Woodlands Dental
the staff of this modern and up to date premises are always on hand
to put you at ease.
I have had one or two emergencies over the years
and Matthew has always managed to squeeze me in at short
notice. Even root canal treatment was almost a breeze. Once you
enter the 'state of the art' surgery you know you are in good hands
and have no need to worry.
Matthews skill is second to none and with soft music in the
background I always feel relaxed during treatment. Matthew always
goes the 'extra mile'and is always available on the phone for help
and advice.
Thanks to all at Woodlands Dental for all the care and
assistance over the years.
