Sam's smile restoration

Sam came to Durban Dental Centre for his routine dental health review some time ago and needed treatment. This was put off for a while but eventually, Sam decided to go ahead in order to protect his oral health and prevent further problems. Sam needed a root canal, a crown and a filling.

What we did

We started with the root canal treatment which was completed over 2 appointments. At the second appointment we took an impression of his teeth to send to our highly skilled technicians to make the crown. After this had been made in our dental laboratory, Sam returned for his final appointment where we placed the crown and finally did the filling. Our dentist ensured Sam was at ease at all times and informed of the treatment as we proceeded.

Outcome

Sam left with the problem tooth resolved with the root canal and a crown to give a cosmetic finish and function for eating. We also applied a filling to prevent any further decay and recommended Sam come for regular hygiene visits to stay on top of his oral health. Sam’s smile has been restored without pain or discomfort.

What did Sam say?

"After a Dental health review I was diagnosed to have a root canal treatment, a tooth crown and a filling. This treatment was actually planned a long time ago, so I was happy to finally be able to do it. The whole experience was very good. Appointment times were perfect, and the hygiene standard is excellent. After treatment I feel much better."

How to restore your smile and oral health

Prevention is undoubtedly better and more cost effective than the cure when it comes to ensuring your dental health. Sometimes, teeth deteriorate and break, meaning we must restore the area and restore function. With regular visit to Durban Dental Centre for your Dental health reviews and hygienist appointments we can diagnose any problems early and restore teeth and gums quickly.

I received the high quality experience at Durban that is the norm for this practice.Christine, hygienist, is exceptional in her care for the client, always checking that all is well throughout the treatment with special attention to comfort, very necessary for my particular needs.

I am a nervous patient after experiencing a lot of pain at dentists over the years but I was listened to and was allowed to play my music throughout which kept me calm ☺️

From reception to Hygienist and Dentist my care was 5*. I felt very well cared for and received a high standard of care.

Reception staff polite and friendly. Ashley Sim (dentist) was thorough, thoughtful, considerate. He gave me confidence in that if he thought I didn't need a treatment, or would not benefit from it, he said so. Therefore, I am confident if he says I need treatment, then I do.

I had reported pain in a molar to my dentist at the last visit and he said the old filling had to be removed as no longer viable. This apt he removed the amalgam filling, cleaned the area removing a small amount of decay and refilled. He took an enormous amount of care to get the bite right. Amazingly, the whole procedure didn't hurt one bit. Will not go anywhere else.

Well organised.

Ashley Sim listened to my concerns and understood the circumstances giving rise to the appointment. Ashley checked the area in question and offered to take an x-ray should it put my mind at rest.We discussed the preferred way forward, given other medical considerations, with the option being available to undertake any interim treatment should the need arise.I never doubt that Ashley will listen and explain.
