“There is no doubt that Chris represents the very best of what can be obtained in the field of Dental Technology. His technical results reflect a deep understanding of what is required clinically and this results in most appliances requiring very little if any adjustment. More than that they provide the clinical success that is sought. Chris can provide a huge spectrum of dental prostheses (dentures to implant superstructures), any and all orthodontic removables and has a unique insight and passion for the splint/orthotic area. He has brought a unique mandibular repositioning device (the Airwayease) to the market in conjunction with his BeWellGroup colleagues and is currently the only lab owner able to provide this most excellent product. Customisation in all areas of Dental Technology would be the hallmark of what Chris does on a daily basis.
I have no hesitation in recommending that man's sercices to you.
Yours Sincerely
Dr A.Ancell (Dentist in Woollahra, Sydney, Australia)” July 20, 2010
