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!"

Jay is always very patient with both of my boys who attended. He explains everything clearly and offers good advice on how they can look after their teeth better. He puts both of them at ease so that they have a good experience at the dentist. The reception team are also friendly and helpful. It is quick and easy to get booked in, and to book future appointments. It’s good to have the magazines in the waiting room (ones suitable for children too) although we didn’t need to wait long and were seen straight away at our appointment time.

Efficient and professional service. Reception always endeavour to schedule appointment day and time for your convenience, also when emergency treatment required. Hygienist Sara does a brilliant job, very engaging and professional, like having a spring clean, excellent addition to the practice.

Lynn Road Dental Practice work well as a team as shown by my last treatment. I asked for antibiotics..the receptionist heard me and understood my needs... talking to the dentist..Khem Joshi prior to simply handing me a prescription. I was then given an appointment within 2 days of the call to help. The extraction was performed expertly with a great deal of politeness and consideration.

Dear manager,I only joined your surgery last week when i experienced tooth ache. The receptionist went through my options for plans to join which was simple and all documents sent quicky.I am a very nervous patient and would describe the dentist as not my happy place, I was booked in to see Tracey and both Tracey’s put me at ease straight away, was a very comfortable environment and was told that I would need a couple of teeth removed. This was my Friday appointment. Once again on arrival very nervous but once with Tracey was put at ease with the explanation of the procedure and how my briefing would keep me calm. Unfortunately the procedure didn’t go to plan and the tooth could t be removed and I have been referred to the hospital. I would like to say the professionalism and calmness of Tracey really helped with the experience and I can only apologise I have rubbish teeth..I have another appoint with the surgery this week and after the two previous experience I feel more at ease to come.It’s a shame that tooth removal couldn’t be completed but calmness and care for a patient’s heath is more important.
