My daughter started her journey at Reading Orthodontic Centre when she was about 10. Aged 12 she started treatment with Dr Virdi and from that moment on, we have never had a negative experience. The care has been incredible; we have been talked through every stage, with each step explained in detail and with sensitivity. There have been scans, x rays, extractions, retainers, fixed appliances and today, the braces were removed to reveal a beautiful set of straightened teeth, upper and lower. We could not be more impressed with the dedication and skill of Dr Virdi, he is a kind, humble and talented professional who gets incredible results. Highly recommended!

I have two children under the care of Dr Vardi and he's been amazing always checking on how each of the children are if they hadn't managed to get appointments on the same day. My Daughter was very scared and nervous of the dentist at the start of her treatment and after a few visits she relaxed and even looked forward to what was happening next, it was amazing to see the changes in her and the amazing work that was done on her teeth, she's changed so much with hiding away her mouth to now showing people how lovely her teeth are.
This has been an amazing experience and we are very greatful for the patience and care my daughter received and over joyed with her beautiful smile, we can't wait for the end results with my son to follow Many thanks

I am very impressed with the service done by this dental practice. My daughter has had her braces off for over a year and today she had her last check up. Dr Virdi has been a fantastic dentist; very friendly and helpful. I'm grateful to the entire team for making the whole treatment an enjoyable experience for my daughter. Thanks.

My son has just completed the main part of his treatment with Dr Virdi and I just want to pass on to others how amazing he and team have been at both the Reading and Theale branch. My son started his treatment before covid and the service and communication has been excellent throughout. Dr Virdi and his dental assistants have all been very supportive and patient throughout and have achieved amazing results.
The thought of braces can be quite daunting for both parents and children but it has been a very positive experience throughout the process. My son is thrilled to be onto his final stage of retainers after 2 and a half years, but not without hard work and diligent daily cleaning on his part but it has been worth all the effort! Thank you

I can't say enough about our great experience here. Dr Virdi and his assistants are lovely: patient, caring, gentle, throughly explaining everything at each step and stage. A beautiful job with our daughter's braces over the years from start to finish. Very professional settings, from the converted Victorian in Reading to the immaculate new centre in Theale. Highly recommend.

Both my son and daughter were treated by Dr Virdi. They both now have perfect teeth! Dr Virdi is brilliant - he's thorough, knows his stuff and really cares about his patients. He's excellent at explaining procedures in plain simple English, putting my nervous children at ease. What more can a parent ask for?
