I have been working with Dr Abella for about 4.5 years using insivalign He has been absolutely amazing throughlut the whole process - I couldn't have asked for a better dentist I am a perfectionist so where as most people would have finished their treatment within a year or so I kept pushing for more and more refinements. Dr Abella was always happy to oblige and did so in a warm and welcoming manner Overall I am beyond happy with my experience and I would recommend him and his specialties to absolutely everyone I see! I would post a picture of my smile but I'm afraid it would cause the females reading to lose their minds - so hopefully my words to justice Thankyou sir it's been a pleasure! Kris

I have just finished my invisalign treatment with Dr Abela and I cannot be happier with the result. Dr Abela was very professional. He listened to my concerns, designed the treatment around it and made me feel comfortable in every visit. Thoroughly recommended.

I had Invisalign treatment with Dr Stefan and was very satisfied with the process and the result. Prior to enquiring with them I had gone to another dentist who had advised I'd need to have 2 healthy teeth extracted in addition to my wisdom teeth, but Dr Stefan told me only extracting the upper wisdom teeth would be sufficient. Now that the treatment has ended I'm happy to say he was right and my teeth are now perfectly straight. Great no-nonsense service. 👍

Thrilled with my treatment outcome. It has been a pleasure to be treated by Dr Stefan, who at each of our meetings for at least a year could have declared my treatment complete if he was not so determined to get my smile as close to perfect as it could be (needless to say that this additional treatment was at no extra charge and was included within the invisalign package). I cannot recommend Ely Smiles enough.
