A big thank you to Dr Charro and his team. Initially I was an anxious and claustrophobic patient. A visit to the dentist for a check up and treatment was one to be endured rather than welcomed. Now I look forward to my appointments, my dental health is well looked after and I have every confidence that this will continue.
The Dental Practice has an highly skilled, professional, friendly and compassionate team with a willingness to explain treatments and answer questions in easily understandable lay persons language. This expertise helped to calm my anxiety and I was able to appreciate and comprehend the processes involved in the recommended treatment. I was given a comprehensive written and signed plan which I have found to be invaluable as a reminder of the agreed procedures, the timeframe and the cost. The building is in a good location and has excellent parking facilities. It is modern, well equipped with a welcoming atmosphere.
This practice provides a wide range of dental services with a mixture of NHS and private treatments. My recent plan included a combination of NHS and private care incorporating :-
* Assessment, consultation, advice and instruction.
* X-rays, scans and impressions.
* Simple and surgical extraction.
* Replacement and new fillings .
* Scaling and polishing.
* Michigan hard splint and occlusal equilibration.
* Restorative work.
* Large dental implant.
Professor Paul Tipton, Dr Jimmy Charro, Mr Vivek James, dental nurses and assistants were involved in my treatment.
I was impressed by the treatment I had to address the effects on my teeth and jaw from habitual teeth grinding. Professor Tipton and Dr Charro were very patient and reassuring, particularly as I sometimes struggled to articulate my jaw. Their ability to dispel my fears and to put me at ease instilled my trust in them. The outcome has resulted in a significant reduction in the pain in my jaw, a lessening in jaw clicking, an elimination of related headaches and I have a significant improvement in my bite and jaw movement.
The whole process from start to finish of my large dental implant was amazing. I had no idea how complex and interesting the process would be when I first considered it. Remarkably at one stage the treatment room became a sterile surgical theatre, Surprisingly, given all that was involved there was minimal pain. Such a fascinating experience and I am thrilled with the outcome. Dr Charro’s expertise in this area was very apparent.
I am indebted to all the clinicians involved in my dental care and to Mrs Margaret Bennett for her unfailing efficacy in managing my appointments and patiently responding to my queries either face to face or by phone.
