We are all feeling the pinch at the moment, and fixing our teeth may not be the top of our agenda’s, but here at Woodborough House we want to suggest a way to help make things a little easier. We are running a scheme at the practice called Denplan Essentials. It is the Uk’s leading provider of preventive dental care programmes, and it enables you to pay a monthly fee to cover the cost of your dental examinations, X-rays, Hygiene care and then you receive a 10% discount on any treatment you may need (ie. fillings). It has some great benefits including emergency care if you are abroad, away from home, away on business or on holiday. As part of the Insurance services you will also have access to the 24 hour Denplan emergency helpline, in order to find a practicing Denplan dentist. Another great advantage of this cover is, by paying an additional £1.95 a month, you can upgrade to Implant Cover. This will cover £2,100 per dental implant fixture following a dental injury and a maximum cover of up to £20,000 per incident! Thats an amazing bargin if you ask me. We have leaflets at reception if you want to read up on it.
Woodborough House are offering our patients a free check up if they sign up on the day of your appointment for Denplan Essentials. If you have any other questions regarding Denplan then ring the practice and ask to speak to our practice manager Hayley or our receptionist Sarah. They know all about it.

If you visit Woodborough House today, you may see a familiar face wondering around the practice. No, it isn’t a ghost of WH past, it is our recently retired practice manager Linda! After leaving the practice, she decided it was time to fix up her teeth. She is investing in some Dental Implants to replace some missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium fixtures that fuse with the jawbone. They replicate the natural root structure of a tooth and provide a fit that is very secure and natural looking. They definitely are the best thing since sliced bread!
She has been to see Nick several times for consultations, radiographs, impression appointments, photos, you name it, and today is the big day! All the girls are ready for her arrival, and all hands are on deck. Linda is also indulging in some of our oral sedation. No dancing on the work tops Linda!! We are all excited about seeing the final resultsof the treatment. I’m sure she will be smiling from ear to ear.
If you are interested in Dental Implants or would like to know what treatment options are available for you, feel free ring our reception team and they will be able to book you an appointment with our patient co-coordinators or a dentist. Alternatively check out our website for information.

We started the day today fixing one of our patients bridge problems. He originally came to see us, as a bridge he had made to replace some missing front teeth, and fallen out. Sometimes, when bridges de-bond the dentists are able to simple “glue it back in”. Unfortunately this time, this was not possible. We discussed with our patient his options, and ideally Dental Implants would have been the most superior way of replacing these missing teeth. He decided, for now, to have a denture made to replace the missing teeth. We took impressions, and after a lot of blood, sweat and tears at the lab, the final denture is made. He was happy to have his teeth back again. We will be seeing him regualrly for his dental check ups to ensure he is looking after and cleaning his denture correctly.
If you need advice about looking after your dentures or would like to speak to one of our dentists regarding dentures and denture care, then feel free to ask.

7.30am start for me and Steph today! It is a busy day at Woodborough House. Nick was seeing one of his patients for some extensive implant treatment. This lady is having 10 dental implants placed today. She has been having trouble with her dentures for years, so she has decided to do something about it. In order to make her dentures more stable, easier to eat, her speech improved, and a better quality of life she is having implants placed to help secure her dentures. Think of it as lego (but without the multicolour blocks and lego men)! Dental implants are placed into the bone, using guided surgery equipment to ensure the procedure is completely accurate and the position of the implants are in the correct place. New dentures are then made, which will inter-lock with the implants when in the patients mouth. Those baby’s won’t budge!!! The implants ensure great ancorage of the dentures, making them more stable for the patient. It will make eating easier, speech improved and the patient will hardly know they are wearing dentures. Many patients who have this treatment ask themselves “why didn’t I do this sooner?” The patient also had the advantage of having IV sedation with Donny. This is a great bonus, as time goes by very quickly and Donny can provide antibiotics to help the healing process and time.
If you are fed up of loose dentures, and feel you need something more stable, then feel free to ask one of our Team about dental implants. We can provide you with some information and discuss the treatment for you. You can also check out the links on the website, for some night time reading. We all know our patient will be smiling with her new dental implants.

Its the start of a new week at WH, and already Nick and Steph are seeing a new patient. She was recommended to us from a friend, and we were happy to see her for a consultation regarding replacing a tooth. Aged 45, this lovely lady still has hold of her baby tooth( they can be stubborn little things). Worried that the tooth may eventually have to be removed, and also for cosmetic reasons, she was particularly interested in finding out and discussing the option of having a Dental Implant to fill the gap. Nick and Steph took the time to discuss the advantages of having a dental implant, presented photos from other cases Nick has worked on, explained how long this type of treatment will take to complete, and talked about the procedure itself. She has decided that this treatment will be the best for her, and has already booked herself in to get started!! We will enjoy treating her and caring for her on her Implant journey!!
There is always a lot to take on board, when discussing Implants, and we have many fully trained and experienced staff around to help answer your questions or queries if you feel you have misunderstood or need something explained in more detail. We want to do all we can to keep you smiling

Raquel has been in today, working her Root Canal magic on our patients. We saw a lovely man from Woodley today, who was referred from his dentist in Tilehurst to see Raquel for a consultation. He had a molar tooth, that was causing him pain on biting. Using our fab microscope, Raquel was able to detect a fracture down the middle of the tooth. Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do to save this tooth, but the patient now has the option of having an Implant to replace the space. We gave him some information about the treatment, and he booked in to see Nick to discuss his options.
If you have any queries regarding missing teeth, Implants, or Root Canal then please either speak with our patient co-ordinators or your dentist. They will be happy to help.

The kids are back to school (hooray!!) and we are all back to our daily routines. Today Nae has been seeing children and teenagers for their dental exams before they go back to school. She has also been talking to them, and their parents, about sports mouthguards. When taking part in school sports, especially rugby and hockey, the children should be protecting their teeth with a bespoke mouth guard. The dentist will take impressions and send them off to the lab for them to be made. A mouth guard is a great investment for your children, as we have seen many kids that have knocked front teeth out and chipped them due to playings games and sports. This can then result in having extensive treatment, such as Root Canal Therapy, Crowns or Implants.
If you have any questions about sports mouthguards or what to discuss it further with your dentist then please ask us. We want to keep you and the kids smiling

It has been manic at the practice today! All the team have been working really hard to get all our patients sorted and happy before the Christmas Holidays.
Sen had a lovely lady in interested in improving her smile. She has had a crown on her front tooth, but wants to have it redone for cosmetic reasons. The only thing that is holding her back is finance. Here at Woodborough House we can offer our patients a 0% finace scheme, when treatment costs reach a certain threshold. This enables you to start treatment, but spread the cost over the year. You can use the finace to help pay for crowns, dentures, bridges, veneers, implants, and cosmetic treatment. This is just one the many things Woodborough House can do for you to help make you visit here more pleasurable, and to keep you all smiling.

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!
