Parents Lie!!!
You may recall my review of 28 August which followed an accident resulting in the loss of my r/h incisor. Well.. get this. Can you remember when you were young and had to have your fist tooth out??? You will probably recall the words "don't worry my love, it will soon be over and you only have to go through this ONCE"! Well thats not true... As the only person I know that has had the same tooth extracted twice I hope you find the this review both funny and educational.

Shortly after my accident and the extraction of what was remaining of my smashed tooth, a rather unsightly and uncomfortable lump appeared on my upper lip. Everyone I spoke to told me that is was scar tissue! Some eight weeks in, the lump started to cause me significant discomfort and anxiety. I was feeling 'strange' and experiencing extreme facial sweats. hmmmm says Diane off to bother my local GP (Dr Kwan) and bore the pants off him with my never ending tooth story and moaning about the lump. I always knew that something wasn't quite right but when my doctor recommended an x ray and put me on antibiotics I was then convinced that me instincts were correct.

Andrew Fennell to the rescue - he x rayed the soft tissue for me (which for your information Queens Hospital on the night of the accident omitted to do!) and guess what... half of the smashed tooth was embedded in my cheek (upper lip). To Andrew's credit he arranged to extract the tooth (again) the very same day. He personally performed the surgical procedure with the utmost care and sympathy. I am delighted to report that within hours the swelling had subsided and I was back on solid foods (all be it an indian curry) the very next day.

So that's the proof - PARENTS LIE.

I consider myself very lucky to have two important men in my life - my GP and dentist. THANK YOU BOTH

For those of you who find this dribble interesting (get a life) but my next update will follow the implant procedure (late Dec/early Jan).

Sadly I had reason to visit the emergency service provided by winning smiles last Saturday following a serious fall which necessitated removing one of my front teeth. The service and personal care I received was second to none. Very professional and understanding. Today I returned for an assessment and i have to say I was taken back by the expertise and sensitivity to my situation that I received. i will let you know the outcome but at the moment I feel like Winning Smiles have or will shortly restore my character and confidence - something that cannot be bought! thank you.

Just finished eight months of treatment which included 4 implants. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Four out of five members of my family have been treated by either Andrew or Michael all with amazing results. I would recommend Winning Smiles to anyone.

DON'T BE SCARED OF SEDATION........IT'S BRILLIANT....TRUST ME!!!

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.
Andrew is also doing a brilliant job, sorting out my general and cosmetic dentistry.....BEFORE AND AFTER his clever Dad Michael straightened them for me with Invisalign.
The girls are all great too, and I am SO lucky to have found the perfect team at Winning Smiles!

Having this treatment has made an enormous difference to my life. I not only look 100% better I also feel better and I recommend Andrew and his girls without reservation. From my first appointment I felt total confidence in Andrew. I am not normally brave at the dentist but I was not nervous at all even though I had a lot of work done over two months. To have a beautiful smile is better than plastic surgery or Botox whatever your age and I highly recommend Winning Smiles in Harold Wood. Thanks Andrew you are a star. Debby.

As a patient who started Invisalign aged 50, I have been wearing my Invisible braces for 9 months so far. My total treatment time is 1 year for the top set, and 2 years for the bottom set. The improvement to date of my dreadfully crooked teeth is just incredible. I won’t pretend it is an easy ride, BUT it is well worth doing if you are as embarrassed as I was about your teeth. I feel positively excited about my future perfect smile. Thanks Michael, (and the girls) for looking after me SO well! Kindest regards from Ruth

This is an excellent dental practice. Any treatment is clearly explained and discussed before it is started and a long-term plan is put into place and reviewed regularly. All the staff are professional, yet very friendly. It all makes going to the dentist a much less stressful experience.

The treatment went extremely well, and I have no hesitation in recommending Winning-Smiles.

It didn't even hurt!
