Ben's experience at our practice

Ben had not been to the dentist for some time and had put off the event given everything seemed fine with his teeth. After 3 years of neglect, Ben decided he must visit the dentist and decided to book his first Dental health assessment with us at Durban Dental Centre.

What we did

Ben had a Full Dental health assessment for 30 minutes where the dentist charted each tooth on our state of the art software system and used X-Rays to understand the condition of Ben's oral health. A full smile check was also conducted to ensure we understand what Ben wanted to achieve in the short and long term as well as how we can help keep his teeth healthy for life.

Outcome

Ben had a full review and needed no treatment! He no longer felt nervous about future appointments because of his positive experience and immediately booked another Dental health assessment for 6 months, as advised by his dentist.

Ben's story

"I hadn't gone for a check-up in more than 3 years. I kept saying I needed to, but why go if there's nothing wrong? I had no sensitivity or spotting but I thought I should 'go!', so I did! I came in to have a Dental Health check along with a scale and polish with the Hygienist. I enjoyed the experience! Not many people would say that about the dentist, especially me! My dentist at Durban Dental Centre was excellent, he was very pleasant and after my check I was informed no treatment was needed. Everyone at Durban Dental Centre made me feel at ease. Once home I immediately recommended Durban Dental Centre to my friend who also hasn't been to the dentist for ages!"

I had a broken molar which required repair/filling. Was not a patient of the dental Surgery but received excellent care - most important aspect of this whole experience was that i was seen within 3 working days.

Both practitioners were personable, reassuring and put me at ease. They both very thorough.

Dr Ahmet was considerate and professional at all times (as he has been over the many years I have known him). The filling was not really a surprise. It was done swiftly and without anasthesia. a little pain but we both ploughed through that. Surgery Nurse and Reception Staff were supportive and helpful (change in Medication from Warfarin and Apixaban was carried out smoothly). I'll be back in6 months from Hygienist.

As a nervous patient, Jacob and the dental nurse made me feel totally at ease. Asking me if I’d like the procedure to be explained to me as they went along. General chatting and distraction from the radio. He was very patient and took everything slowly.

I needed a quick appointment and treatment as I had cracked a tooth and filling. I phoned and managed to get an appointment the same day with my regular dentist. Ahmed saw me and did the filling immediately. Could not have asked for better service.
