a new tooth!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

It has been flat out here at the practice over the last few days!  We have had Lama, our periodontist busy treating periodontal disease , Nick has been placing implants left, right and centre not to mention the everyday goings on in the general practice.  One of our implant patients came to see us all the way from Buckinghamshire, she needed a new front tooth.  After much discussion and careful planning she received her new tooth yesterday.  She has to wait a few weeks before she gets her real tooth but is already overjoyed with just the temporary.  She found the procedure painless, not to mention she took a liking to our oral sedation!  She is very excited about getting married next year and now she will look the part and no longer feel self conscious about her smile.  For more information on dental implants  call us…….. and remember we keep you smiling!

Nervous Nelly

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Today we treated a lovely young lady from Newbury who hadn’t visited a dentist in several years.  This patient, along with many others, had a traumatic childhood experience and this has affected her dental treatment throughout her life. Today was her final treatment through a long series of appointments.  When treatment began we advised our patient to try some oral sedation.  This lady was determined to over come her fear and with courage and a lot of support from our dentists and staff this patient has done it!  She has managed to complete her treatment and over come her fear.  She left us today feeling happy and proud.  We will be seeing her regularly for check ups and hygienists visits. Well done Nelly from all the team at Woodborough House!
