Having dental implants was one of the best decisions of my life, a decision which I hesitated and mulled over for years and months but once I had started the process with Dr. Dev Patel as my dental surgeon my anxiety abated rapidly. I am very pleased with the finished work as it has strengthened my jaw bone, improved my overall appearance and enhanced my confidence.

 The whole procedure was explained with great clarity before any work was undertaken and I had all of my numerous questions answered. A complete cost plan was provided and throughout the process numerous x-rays and impressions were taken to ensure that the end result was right for me in terms of maximising appearance and dental health. The X-rays were to ensure that my bone density was sufficient to allow the implants to integrate into the bone structure especially as I was likely to require at least five implants. These processes were carried out in meticulous detail. 

Despite having a phobia about dental surgery, the procedure on the lower jaw to insert the implants although moderately uncomfortable, was painless and I opted to have the work done under normal local anaesthetic .It lasted around three hours after which I went home by cab well  equipped with painkillers, which I used very little of and antibiotics. Well fitting temporary teeth were fitted over the implants shortly after insertion and I ate, talked and worked normally after a day.

No adverse reactions to the implants were experienced by myself and again after several consultations regarding colours, fittings, materials and fine tunings the permanent teeth were fitted over the implants to my complete satisfaction. My confidence in Dr. D. Patel and his implant surgery skills is such that I am willing to respond to potential patients' queries regarding the process and its outcomes.

The year 2005 was a very busy time for me.  My son was getting married the following year and I had been advised by my dentist that I was about to loose my front tooth. Not with standing that most of my upper teeth were in such poor shape with crowns and loss of bone that I would be looking at dentures.

Now with out going into too much detail I had seen some very embarrassing moments with both my Mother and in laws during their final years that nothing would see me going into dentures if I could possibly avoid it.

So with lots of research various visit’s to specialist’s different approaches suggested, estimates, I finally decided to ask Dr Dev Patel to accept me as his patient.

From his whole demeanour constant explanations of his preferred program for me, his kind and courteous manner I knew I was making the right choice.  

Though out all my treatment I was made to feel at ease, all pain levels were strictly monitored so I had none, perhaps a little discomfort when my teeth had to be extracted but that was all, “Dev” never made me feel even the slightest embarrassment when I become upper toothless.

The transition from old teeth to implants was a military operation never did I leave the surgery without looking my old self with temporary sets of teeth. During all this time if I had any problem Dev was always at the end of a phone.

True to his word by July 2006 I was the proud mother of the bridegroom ready with a big smile for the wedding photos.

Since that date we have made minor adjustments to the overall appearance, again it would seem however small my request, however silly it may have seemed to Dev he made sure I always left the surgery happy.

Will I eventually have the bottom set as implants?  When the time comes absolutely and I could not recommend Dr Dev Patel and his staff more highly.

If you are about to make that final decision for implants, you could not be in more skilled and caring hands.

So a big smile from me

Dear Tommy,
I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the final result of my dental treatment. I had wanted to refresh my smile for a very long time but did not have the courage nor the foresight to do so until I was introduced to you.

The work you have done is of wonderful quality and quite simply has transformed my smile! I am extremely grateful.
Kind regards,

C. Brennan, July 2007
