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 see Ashley at Durban Dental and he is superb. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. His knowledge and clinical skills seem top notch. He offers practical and sound advice, without pushing unnecessary treatments. He gives confidence and is calm and patient. I find the whole team welcoming and very professional. Highly recommended.

I am a nervous patient but I have every confidence in my dentist. This has changed my whole outlook in coming to the dentist. Also the treatment and results are excellent . The patience and time taken to insure the tooth is smooth after the filling and fits the gap correctly is extraordinary . A very happy patient .

I was experiencing problems with my general health that affected my next step forward with dental treatment. The dentist was extremely understanding and patient coming up with a solution and produced a denture that has been extremely successful.

Since being referred to Ashley Sim for the making of a denture, he has been super efficient and kindness itself. Dentists are not my favourite people due to past experiences and all the staff at Durbans have been very understanding.

I can't thank Dr Ruth, Dental Nurse EJ and Hygienist Anda enough for their kindness, care and compassion, following my recent extensive dental treatment. I can now smile with confidence. I would highly recommend each of them, and I feel I have found the perfect practice for me. Thank you so much.

Saw Dr Ruth and dental nurse EJ, fantastic and calm service. Kids felt relaxed and well looked after. Their patient is their main priority and they are focussed on well being.
