I was absolutely delighted with the two new crowns that Barry carried out for me. My old crowns from many years ago looked large and ugly and a poor match to my other teeth. Barry took enormous care to ensure a perfect match, re-shaped the crowns by a series of impressions and fine-tuned the temporary crowns. The end result was amazing and I am thrilled to bits.

My first implant has been completed today – a lower left 5 premolar. The procedure is expensive but has taken 5-6 months. Barry and his staff have taken care to make it a pleasant experience and kept me well-informed and comfortable throughout. My thanks to them all.

I could not have wished for a better service from Barry, whom I have just completed my Six Month Smiles treatment with. Any problems with brackets or anything at all wrong with my braces and I was able to be seen promptly (not that there were many issues). My braces were on for 7 months and I can’t believe the difference. Thank you so much – I would definitely recommend the service.

L.D.Six Month Smiles

I had lost a few back teeth over the past few years and I’ve been aware and very conscious of the gaps. I had a plate put in place but it proved to be uncomfortable and cumbersome. Over the past year, I’ve undergone treatment for two implants, which are now complete. I have had an amazing experience. I’ve been looked after well by Dr Holmes and all the staff involved in the process. Just having my new teeth is fantastic. This will give me new confidence and fabulous new smile. Thank you.

S.D. Dental Implants

As an extremely nervous patient, I was made to feel at ease and had full confidence in what was being done. The treatment took approximately 12 months but the end results are brilliant. I can smile without gaps and I would not hesitate to recommend this treatment to anyone. Dr Holmes is a truly fabulous dentist.

Thank you Dr Holmes for your expertise, your skills and your professionalism. And thank you to all the team for your wisdom, your humour and your care!

I would like to tell Dr Holmes and the team how pleased I am with my new crowns and veneer. I am sorry that I waited so long to pluck up the courage to have them replaced. From the first appointment to the last, I felt very comfortable. I am really pleased with the final result and would like to thank you very much – it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.

I have recently come to the end of treatment with Barry Holmes for the removal of a bridge and an implant. Throughout this time, he patiently explained every step of the way, and my extractions were pain free – I barely felt any injections!
He’s a caring, communicative dentist and I feel lucky to have been his patient. I’m thrilled with my new teeth and I will be recommending Parkway and Barry to everyone.
Thanks to Barry, the dental nurses and reception staff for making me enjoy coming to the dentist.

Eight months ago I finally took the plunge and booked in with Dr Barry Holmes to get braces with the Six Month Smiles treatment and, eight months later, I am leaving the clinic with the biggest smile on my face!
From beginning to end I cannot thank Barry and all his team enough for the effort they have put in. You are all such a friendly team and I always felt at ease.
From the bottom of my heart – A MASSIVE THANK YOU!
Thanks for helping me smile with confidence!

Nearly one year ago, I decided to go for the clear alignment treatment with Dr Barry Holmes and it was such a great decision.
I am so happy with the treatment and my smile! He is very professional and patient. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much.

I'm not sure if you realise how much of a difference your expertise and care and attention to detail have made to me. I can now smile naturally again - such a simple but essential gesture for good relationships and a happy life. After nine months of feeling detached from those around me, I now feel connected again to my loved ones, friends, colleagues, students, and even passing strangers. It's life enhancing to be able to share a smile with others. Thank you so much, all of you, for giving me back that simple but wonderful gift.
Tomorrow I have an important job interview, and I shall walk into the interview room with a big smile on my face, feeling confident.
Thank you! 🙂

“I broke my tooth, part of a bridge, in April 2013 and the treatment I have received since has been excellent. Initially I had a plate put in to replace the teeth but I found this difficult to cope with and decided to have some implants put in. The whole procedure was explained to me in great detail to make sure I was happy with what was planned and what I needed to do.

I had two major surgeries with this: the first was a bone graft and the second was to place the implants in. Both surgeries were handled in an excellent manner again with all the procedures being explained beforehand. I found that I did not have any problems with the surgeries at all. It was also nice that the dental surgery phoned the day after surgery both times to make sure everything was fine and that I did not have any issues. The aftercare since has been great and I have found the whole service from start to finish excellent and it is nice to be able to smile again with front teeth in place.”

“I have been attending the dental surgery for dental implants, the operation performed by Dr Barry Holmes and I am very impressed by the service.

The preliminary consultations were very thorough, all my questions were answered, all relevant facts and recommendations were given to me in writing. At no time was I pressurized to accept any treatment nor to make any decisions in a hurry.

The actual operation was carried out with great care: I felt that I was in good hands and that everything feasible was being done to minimise the discomfort associated with such a procedure.

The ancillary and officer staff have been very friendly and courteous.”

“Dear Dr Holmes,

Please allow me to say thanks for your perfection, professionalism and your specialization.

Many thanks for the dental implant treatments you did for me. You are wonderful. I have not come across anyone like you. You are the best in what you do. Well done! You are a hero and a star to me.

Please say thanks to Dr Darren, Eli, Helena and Carly and the rest of your staff for their patience and kindness.

Once again, many thanks and kind regards.

Yours sincerely

Ivy Forson

Ps. I will recommend you forever”

“Dear Barry,

I just want to thank you for the fantastic treatment I’ve received from you over the past year.  Not only did you do give me the smile I’ve always wanted, you made the whole experience comfortable and it was a pleasure to come to the dentist (believe me this is amazing coming from a former ‘dentaphobe!’). You were always polite, patient, professional and explained all steps clearly. I would also like to thank the dental nurses who were so encouraging and supportive; expertly using equipment that was ‘patient centred’ providing comfort required – may seem small, but from a patient perspective this is very significant and really does go a long way!

This may sound extreme, but I will miss having to visit the dentist frequently; thank goodness for six monthly check up’s! You really are an asset to the dental world and I feel very lucky to have you as my dentist. So again, thank you for you skill and hard work; I can now smile with confidence! :)”

“Hi All at Kee Dental Care
Just a quick email to say a HUGE THANK YOU for the fantastic orthodontic treatment I have recently had carried out on my teeth.
After many years of being unhappy with my uneven teeth and subsequent smile and after numerous visits to many dentists over the years I was informed that my teeth were as good as they were going to get. I thought that it would be to late in life for me to have the orthodontic work carried out and because of this I was resigned to living the rest of my life with my uneven teeth.

If only I had found Kee Dental Care many years ago!! Thanks to Mr Barry Holmes and his staff I am now more than happy to show my teeth and give a full smile whenever needed.

However it took until my 53rd Birthday for me to feel proud and confident of my teeth and subsequent perfect smile.
The added bonus for me personally was that all the orthodontic work was carried out in 6 months with little pain or discomfort.
Once again a HUGE THANK YOU to Mr Barry Holmes and all staff at Kee Dental Care Swansea for making this happen. I would not hesitate in recommending Kee Dental Care to anyone as it just goes to prove that it is never to late,
Many Thanks”

“After reading several positive reviews of the Six Month Smile treatment, I made further enquiries as to whether it would be suitable for me. I have always been conscious of my teeth but did not want to have to wear the traditional braces for 2 years to rectify the problem.

After a really useful consultation with Barry Holmes, I decided to go ahead with the treatment. Initially I was apprehensive (particularly at the thought of having to wear fixed braces for several months), but after some careful consideration I realised that it would help me regain my confidence to smile so was worth proceeding.

After the braces were fitted, I went for regular check-ups and could start to see the difference the braces were making almost straight away.

The attention I received throughout the course of my treatment was exceptional: all my questions were answered promptly (even those I asked via email) and Barry was always flexible to assist with any minor problems that arose.

Now that I have had the braces removed, I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I would recommend the Six Month Smile treatment to anyone. It really has made such a difference to my confidence and now I take every opportunity I can to smile!”

S.A. – Six Month Smiles

“After considering extensive dental work for a few years and researching other dental practices, I chose Kee Dental for a consultation.

From the very beginning and throughout the treatment, I found all of the staff at Kee Dental friendly and highly professional. There was a personal touch and genuine care which I greatly appreciated.

I always felt that I was in capable hands. My dentist Barry Holmes, is clearly a dental perfectionist and evidently proud of the work he does, which he has every right to be.

He addressed all of my concerns and removed my fears about undergoing orthodontic dentistry. Barry explained each stage of the procedure before carrying out the work in a pleasant and competent manner. 

He provided an excellent level of aesthetic and medical treatment and understood exactly what I wanted to achieve.

My expectation were far exceeded by the results of the treatment. I now have a beautiful, white, natural looking smile, that I couldn’t be happier with. I have received many compliments from family and friends.”

R.D. – Six Month Smiles, TW and bonding

“I started my ‘Six Month Smiles’ journey about 18 months ago and I have to say, the results have surpassed my expectations!

I knew my case was not an easy one. I wanted to straighten my teeth but I also had an open bite. At 30+ years old also, I was concerned and self-conscious about wearing braces!

Barry was very thorough and clear in explaining to me the procedure and the results I could expect. He was available to answer any of my questions and address my worries. I took the leap and now I’m so glad I did!

The braces are less noticeable than I thought, the whole treatment involves very little pain and disruption to my lifestyle. The time flew by and the progressions were amazing!

Even if my treatment took longer than 6 months (I knew this was going to be the case, Barry told me), at the end of it I didn’t want to take the braces off – I kind of miss them!

Now, my retainers are perfect and I have a beautiful smile. Everyone is complimenting me and a couple of friends are going to have a consultation with Barry for braces soon!

Thank you Barry and Thank you to the team!”

“I just want to say a big thanks to the Kee Dental team in Sketty.
I visited Barry in August 2013 due to my bottom 2 front teeth moving backwards, one further back than the other. Over 5 years I noticed how much it had made a difference and I just wasn’t happy. After meeting with Barry, he did a consultation and explained that I could have the 6month smile and we have 2 options either having the brace top and bottom and the lower teeth would go back into shape but no guarantee that it would stay due to over crowding or remove one tooth from the bottom due to the over crowding.

My first reaction was ‘Oh no’ to removing a tooth but after thinking about it, it made perfect sense as my bottom teeth didn’t have the space for them. I made an appointment to begin the 6 month smile and took the plunge!  I was so nervous, I had the tooth taken out and the braces fitted top/bottom and I thought ‘What have I done’. Over the first few weeks the gap started closing and I was noticing the difference. I had them on the top due to my over bite, which I hadn’t noticed until Barry kindly pointed it out. I never thought I would have the “perfect” smile but in the end, I felt like that. The top brace was on for 7months and the time flew, especially because your going back every 2/3 weeks for adjusting. The top results were amazing and I didn’t think there needed much tweaking apart from the overbite but it sure did make the difference to the shape also. The bottom brace took just over 9 months, the gap is now closed I have straight teeth I couldn’t be happier. I had 2 little chips in 2 teeth which Barry sorted out also. I trusted him as a dentist and the team there were amazing, always there checking your ok throughout the process. If you’re not happy with your teeth I would highly recommend the 6 month smile braces, they are also very discreet. Best money spent!!

Thanks everyone xx”

H.A. – Six Month Smiles

“Having researched the 6 Month Smile treatment quite thoroughly, and being impressed by previous reviews and testimonials, I booked a consultation with Dr Barry Holmes at Kee Dental Care who was very professional in explaining the whole process to me in full and in answering any questions I had- no matter how silly I thought they were! 

My treatment started soon after, Barry was very flexible as I wanted to wait until after a family wedding I was attending. The application of the braces themselves was not as painful as I’d anticipated, nor were the following weeks, some discomfort was treated using paracetamol only. 

Throughout the treatment, there was a number of times where the brackets came away from my teeth, where my appointments were a bit further apart, Barry was happy to fix the brace at his earliest convenience, which was reassuring for me!
I also required some additional dental treatment as the treatment went on (2x fillings and antibiotic treatment for an infected wisdom tooth), which again Barry was happy to undertake which made things easier for me, rather than having to make appointments with my regular dentist- especially grateful for the antibiotics given the pain my wisdom tooth had caused! 

My treatment lasted just under 10 months- it would have been a little sooner but again Barry was flexible as I wanted to wait until I returned from holiday. After the ‘debonding’, Barry did some filing and shaping of my teeth- not nearly as bad as it sounds, and my treatment was practically complete! 

I am absolutely thrilled with the result and cannot thank Barry enough- he is a perfectionist, and it shows! After years of trying to hide my teeth when talking or smiling, I can finally be proud of my smile which fills me with confidence.
On a side note, but just as important, the receptionists and dental nurses were just as helpful and friendly, and made me feel comfortable at each and every appointment. 

I would recommend anyone who is a suitable candidate for 6 Month Smile to seriously consider the treatment, it offers fantastic results in a relatively short amount of time. At Kee Dental Care in particular, you can expect a great deal of support, a professional service and as I’ve previously mentioned, great attention to detail from Barry, who I would like to thank for all of his hard work!”
