★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I researched a lot of websites to see if I could find someone to suit me, when I first needed a denture. I found Richard Greenlees at "Lovebite" and I thought the images of his work were fantastic. In fact I have never seen dentures so natural looking, before or since. I was a dental nurse many years ago and I am so impressed and appreciative that Richard @Lovebite creates completely natural teeth and the detail and effort put in by him, is that of a true craftsman.
I know he is esteemed in this field, all over the world and is asked to impart his knowledge to conferences in many parts of the world. (Just while I was his patient he presented papers in London & Australian cities) I also enjoyed greatly the interesting things he had to say in general conversation and as a client or patient I felt completely at ease and was extremely pleased with the end product.
Thank you Richard for a really good experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My husband Colin Berry is absolutely delighted with his new teeth after having Richard replace his 60 year old tired and worn dentures. He does not think that anyone else could have made his teeth look as good and feel as good as they do. Many thanks Richard from both Colin and myself.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ UPDATE - 9/10/20 - I have been in touch with Richard from Love Bite and he has now refunded me the cost of the denture, there is still an amount outstanding which he has assured me he will refund upon return of the denture he made, once I have a new denture made elsewhere.
Interestingly, after placing my original review, I was contacted by another person who has also had exactly the same experience that I did.
-----
1 & a half years later after beginning my procedure with Love Bite I am still extremely unhappy with the outcome. Richard denied that I was retching to the point of vomiting all the time because the denture was sitting far too back in my mouth. After over 1 year of this he rectified it, however I have constantly had a top denture that moves all the time, whenever I eat, the gum part of the denture is way too long depthwise which means I look really ''gummy'' when I smile, and i have a massive overbite with my top teeth.
Richard made a beautiful job of the actual teeth but he never was able to get the fit or size right for me, which is surprising considering the years and expertise he sold himself on - to the tune of $16,500.
He then gave up on me because he says he has done everything he can.
If he only listened to me instead of insisting he was right, I'm sure my issues could have been rectified and I would not now be going to someone else to get a new denture made.
This has been a very costly and unfortunate exercise for me - I thought I was going to the best - but he doesn't listen and in fact argues with you when you try to explain how the denture is feeling and how it is really difficult to eat in front of people because your top teeth just fall out of your mouth.
He definitely did not fit the denture properly to my mouth and I'm gutted with my whole experience.
I personally, unfortunately, would not recommend, and I'm sure Richard will reply with a comeback but please don't take that on board.
I gave him 1.5 years to sort the issues I was having, and he didn't.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have had a number of dentures over the last 50 year but nothing like the set that Richard from lovebite made for me 18 months ago, they have been amazing they make me look ten years younger, they have given me not one day of trouble, they fit that well i don't even have to take them when i go swimming. I still can't believe how good they are, if you are looking for new dentures Richard is your man his skills are outstanding .
Some technicians make false teeth, Richard makes Quality dentures.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After 10 years of wearing badly fitting dentures I was suffering with very little confidence in myself. I did not eat out with friends i did not ever smile in public I was so ashamed of my teeth and I avoided mirrors at all costs.
Sitting in a doctors waiting room one day 8years ago I picked up a magazine and saw an advert from lovebite. It took me weeks to pluck up the courage to make an appointment.
After that first appointment I really felt there was hope. Richard was so reassuring confident and professional. He made me feel like his only client ever and was determined to give me my smile and confidence back.
After approx 8 weeks I had the most amazing set of dentures in my mouth that I had ever seen. They fitted perfectly almost like putting on a great fitting glove.
However, I didn't just get new amazing dentures. I got ME back again.
I felt like a totally new person and no longer shy'd away from opening my mouth to smile. In fact I haven't stopped smiling since and my confidence levels soared. I am often complimented on my beautiful smile and that is all down to you Richard.
I had to have a second set of dentures made recently as I smashed my front teeth falling over and yet again another amazing job.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all you have done for me. You are truly amazing and I would recommend you to anyone.❤❤❤

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had had dentures for 50 years, so when I first visited Richard Greenlees at Lovebite 11 years ago my face had sunk to quite an extent. The new dentures Richard sculptured for me made me very happy for the way they lifted my face, so going back 10 years later when my teeth were not fitting as well as they had been was a very simple decision.
We had an in-depth consultation at Lovebite, with Richard explaining the three options he had for me. On deciding to go with the Oral Lift level of treatment, Richard outlined the full procedure which included changing the look of my mouth back to resemble my youth. He has certainly achieved this for me, and this has helped my confidence immensely.
Initially I had to persevere with fitting the new dentures to my gums, it was an unusual feeling to get used to, I did achieve this significant change and now the fit is perfect with no looseness whatsoever.
I have no hesitation in recommending Richard to anybody should they ask me, his professionalism through out has been excellent. As I opted for the ultimate facial rebuild to be still receiving compliments a year later gives me great confidence and I am extremely pleased with the results.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After many years of ill fitting and uncomfortable dentures from various dentists and dental technicians I visited Richard. He discussed the options, his procedures and the costs with me.
Not only do I now have an amazing set of natural, functional teeth but Richard rebuilt my facial structure and my confidence. I cannot thank him enough and have no hesitation in recommending his artistry and care.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have recently had dentures fitted by Richard. For years I have suffered from ill fitting dentures and had previously been put in the too hard basket when it came to having them replaced. Because of this , when I contacted Richard I was less than hopeful. All that changed during my first visit, Richard was extremely professional but even better was his positivity.
Having suffered a traumatic extraction, I had significant bone damage, this did not faze Richard. Everything was explained to me in detail and I was supported throughout the whole process.
I now have an amazing set of dentures which have boosted my confidence. The follow up has been great , and I can eat!
Thank you so much Richard. Could not be happier with my new smile.
Highly recommend Lovebite.
