Maria's dental emergency

Maria had been experiencing toothache - enduring 6 weeks of pain, reaching the point where she could no longer eat. At this point Maria booked an emergency appointment with us at Durban Dental Centre. She called the clinic first thing in the morning and we booked her in within a few hours to see the dentist.

What we did

We saw Maria as soon as we could. Although our dentists are booked up well in advance we always leave a few appointments each day for the unforeseen emergency. When Maria came in, we took time to understand the problem and then used a digital X-Ray to help diagnose the issue as well as examine the tooth and surrounding areas carefully.

Outcome

The X-Ray showed Maria had an infection. Our dentist prescribed a course of antibiotics and invited Maria back a week later to ensure the problem had been resolved.

What did Maria say?

"I have been going to Durban Dental Centre for over 25 years and I wouldn't consider changing to another clinic as I am always happy with service. I always get a warm and friendly welcome from all the team. I felt a few twinges with my tooth a while ago, but this had developed to the point where my mouth was swollen and I was in so much pain that I couldn’t eat. I was so relieved when I called the practice and they said they could see me the same day! The experience was actually fine, brilliant! My dentist gave me a course of antibiotics and I made a review appointment to see her a week later. I felt things had improved and she examined the area to check that was the case and the infection had gone. I am now totally out of pain and booked in for my 6 month Dental health review and with the hygienist too!"

Clear explanations of treatment. Calm and understanding that I'm nervous at dental appointments. It was a hygienist appointment (so no dental nurse - there wasn't an option to say this in the question)

I put a review on Google too: I am not a patient there (my family are) but they helped in a time of emergency. Dentist Jacob and his assistance Emma-Jane were kind, capable, and even laughed at my bad jokes. What a blessing to have a team like that in our town.

Ashley and Kirsty both know I am a very anxious patient. They are very calm and always ensure I am comfortable with what is happening by fully explaining what is happening and why. They are a great team!!

The competency and skill of the dental team. The friendliness of the reception staff both in person and over the phone. It's great to have a chat with the dental team before treatment starts too, there is a relaxed atmosphere within the centre.

Ahmed is very knowledgeable and skilful. I have complete confidence in his assessment and treatment recommendations. The treatment itself is painless. He explains the procedure clearly in advance as well as letting me know how much longer it will take while treating me. I am very happy to be his patient.

I can't fault anything from Reception to the dentists, dental nurses and the dental hygenist that I have seen so far. Easy to book appointment and you get a reminder just before the actual appointment. Friendly and professional really happy with how my treatment is going so far, they are really doing a fantastic job.

Dentist was incredible and kept me calm throughout despite being very nervous. Talked me through each step and provided recommendations for next steps.

The clinician is excellent. He listens, examines, explains and reassured me once I had explained a past recent throat/ear infection that my Dr wanted me to check following a root canal treatment a couple of months ago

I was explained very well what was recommended. Painless treatment as explained Feel confident

I really like and respect Anda, the hygienist, and trust her to do an amazing job. The receptionists are always friendly and helpful.The fact that I can always get a space in the car park contributes greatly to my experience of visiting the dental practice.
