Tim's missing tooth

Tim had an old crown and over time, the original tooth underneath the crown had got weaker. During his routine dental health reviews at Lynn Road Dental Practice the tooth was being monitored. Eventually with little support left to hold the crown Tim was given the option of a consultation with our Implant Dentist or the option of a bridge, which would mean impacting the healthy tooth in front.

What we did

Tim decided on the full Implant Assessment to see if he would qualify for a Dental Implant. During the assessment, our Implant Dentist went through Tim’s medical history and oral health checks to ensure every chance of success. They also explained the short, medium and long term process of having and caring for an implant, along with explaining the process from placement, to crowning.

Outcome

After assessment, Tim was given a full treatment plan with various options and time scales. He decided to go ahead immediately and so the first step was to place the implant before letting it heal and topping with a crown. The whole process took 6 months to ensure a successful long term outcome, with just a couple of visits over this time. Tim was left with a securely fixed tooth that blended with his natural teeth to achieve and beautifully healthy smile.

What did Tim say?

"I attended an assessment with the Implant Dentist. This isn’t my usual dentist at Lynn Road Dental Practice but I was advised that dental implants required advanced skills and experience which were quite niche. My dentist introduced me to the Implant Dentist at Lynn Road Dental Practice, where the procedure and pros and cons of implants were explained. It was very reassuring prior to committing to a long term process.

I needed to replace a tooth already lost as I previously had a crown on this tooth which didn’t have sufficient support and eventually fell off!

The Implant caused no problems or pain and I had no discomfort or inconvenience during the period of treatment. I now have a new tooth that allows me to eat normally again! It also blends in with my teeth so you don’t notice it. I would be quite happy to go through this process again if necessary as the Dentist and his team were highly professional throughout. Pay as you go eases the financial impact but it was well worth the cost. A good job, well done!"

The dentist is always very kind. I have acid reflux and cannot have the chair very reclined. I have to swallow frequently. He always stops whenever I need to do this. He explains in detail what treatment he recommends and is always kind and considerate.

A warm welcome from reception staff , cheerful waiting room . Positive approach from the Dentist with constructive advice and encouragement and not least conscientious assistance from Dental Nurse . I have been a patient here for some fifteen years and the practice scores highly in relation to previous experience elsewhere.

I had a visit to the hygienist who was friendly and I explained that I had to reschedule my appointment because I had a severe attack of neuralgia which meant that I could not attend the original appointment. She was very understanding and advised me of various aids and procedures I could use to help with the hygiene of my teeth and gums

Khem Joshis is my Dentist, after a bad experience previously with another dentist, Khem has made me less fearful of going. There's no judgement and he makes my visit calm and reassuring.

The efficient of the reception team, booking the appointment, I think her name was Gemma. The dentist and his nurse was both lovely and kind.

Very friendly practice. It was the first time I’d seen Mo - he was great.

After a long period of unsettlement regarding the treatment I had previously received, Mo has given me confidence from the offset to hopefully resolve my tooth pain.
