Here at Lister House Dental Centre, we regularly create dream smiles, but every so often, a transformation comes along that really captures what we’re all about! This is one of those stories.
What first brought you to Lister House Dental, and how did your smile makeover journey begin?
“I originally attended Lister House Dental for a consultation for an implant. I was hesitant, as, at 64, I doubted its success. Also, my other teeth were in such a mess that I didn’t think it was worth doing. Thanks to Leanne, she called Raj to take a look and Invisalign treatment was suggested. I had my reservations, but went ahead with both an implant and Invisalign. The way my treatment has been handled has been first-class. Before treatments began, I had full consultations. Neil, who did the implant, and Raj, who did the Invisalign, consulted together to work out a plan. And this continued throughout my treatment. I also had composite bonding, whitening and a replacement bridge also carried out by Raj.”
How did you feel throughout your smile makeover treatment at Lister House Dental?
“They [Raj and Neil] have both been wonderful, and I have now achieved a great smile. This has boosted my confidence no end, and I never thought this would be possible. Raj urged me to trust him even when I had doubts about a successful outcome. My advice is to definitely trust him! He knows his stuff! As did Neil, and the implant was painless and looks amazing as well.”
What are your thoughts regarding our treatment planning process?
“Don’t think that procedures will be carried out for the sake of it. Full discussions and explanations are offered along the way. For instance, a second implant was not recommended due to the bone structure in that area. I opted for a replacement bridge instead, which Raj did, and it is fantastic. With bonding finishing it all off, it truly is great craftsmanship.”
What would you say to someone looking for similar smile makeover treatment in Essex?
“I never thought at my age this would all be possible, so don’t let age put you off. I literally can’t stop smiling and have started wearing lipstick again!”
Any final thoughts or advice for other patients?
“Don’t go to Turkey as there is no such thing as a quick fix and it is not worth the risk! It may take time, but it is so worth it. So thank you, Raj, Neil, Leanne, dental nurses, reception, technicians, hygienist and all the team that have been involved with this transformation. Thoroughly recommended.”
