Painless Dentistry: Dental Wand Demo

You may have heard of the dental wand, but if you haven’t seen it and want to know how it works, this is for you.

Although Matt told me this would be fun, I’m not sure now – it’s always horrible hearing yourself speak isn’t it?

Dentist reviews on our website

So with this (newish) website we wanted to enable people to leave their own reviews on our dental practice – both good and bad on this reviews webpage

We didn’t exactly push this facility, it felt a bit like fishing for compliments – but someone just pointed out that people might actually want to have the opportunity. So, for any of our existing patients please find the facility in the reviews section in the above drop down menu, and click the link. You can enter feedback directly into the form.

Our latest colleague at Winning Smiles, Damien Reilly, had some positive feedback recently, and because it is directly about his dental sedation – which addresses a lot of people’s desire for ‘painless dentistry’ – we thought we’d produce an excerpt here.

I came in for 4 hours sedation with your FANTASTIC sedationist Doctor Damian. It was recommended as I needed 10 upper crowns and surgery to even up my gum lines. This involved a very lengthy treatment, which thankfully I was not aware of. Amazingly I was told to eat and drink before treatment. The drug process to put me to sleep was not in the least bit traumatic. It only involved a tiny needle, with just one drop at a time of the drug. When I came round, I did not feel unwell in the least (just not quite with it). It was a totally stress free experience, and I recommend it to anyone undergoing lengthy/complex work.

Ruth is extremely generous in terms of her comments, but also the time taken to feed back on this site.

We’re just a bit worried now that it looks like we’re paying her instead of the other way round!

Never too old for Dental Implants, or the Internet!

I love this.

Earlier this year, when we considered refreshing the Winning Smiles website, we wondered just how many people in our local areas of Romford and Brentwood (or our wider audience in Essex, London and Herts) would be using the Internet to look for implant and orthodontic dentists?

But when I discovered my aunt had been researching a new camera on the internet (I thought email was new to her) I knew that this electronic communicating thingumy was taking off!

So, a month or so in and we’re still on progress with the new site – click to leave a comment if you would like?, but recently we also had a visit from an 80 year old patient for a Dental Implant.

Here’s how it worked out by the way (click to enlarge)

When I asked him about Yellow Pages, he said that he used it as a doorstop, and he used the Internet for everything! To be fair to yellow pages, we do get quite a number of visitors from their Yellow Pages online site.

But that’s progress for you (the site and the implant).
