“I’ve been wearing false teeth for years and have never had any problems with them. Although I like the appearance and the fits only just starting to get loose, they just look worn, discoloured and generally old. Can you make a replacement set so I dont look too different and my grandchildren wont realise they’re false?!”
Your wish is our command! There are people like yourself who are quite happy with how their dentures have been but feel they are just getting a little old and worn. In this situation we can complete what we call a “copy-tech”. This means taking some impressions of the dentures themselves so as the dental lab can make new ones based on the same features as the old. The teeth can be new, but the same size, shape and colour. It can be our secret and the grandchildren will never know!

Liam, Ian and their band of Angels.
Just to thank you Liam for your great achievement in making me look good after all these years, at long last I can sincerely smile and feel confident.
I have been coming to the Surgery now for what seems like a long time but each visit has been special and I will miss not coming over, actually I might make some excuses to come over any way.
The Surgery has not only been a place of great dentistry but for its friendliness and such a happy atmosphere. I will sincerely miss you all and once again thank you all so much for everything.
If there is anyone out there who isn’t sure about having their teeth done, then rest assured you won’t ever be in better hands than with Liam and if personal assurance is needed then please feel free to contact me personally.
I have nothing but admiration for this great team. Thanks you so much again.

“I’m in the middle of my invisalign treamtment but cant find the aligner I should be wearing. I took it out to eat and think it may have ended up in the bin! What should I do?”
No worries! These things happen, its definately not the end of the world. There are a couple of options.
Firstly you should not go without wearing an aligner for too long, so the best thing to do is make sure you are wearing the previous alginer to the one you have lost. At least this will maintain the teeth where they are. A replacement aligner can then be ordered, although Invisalign do charge for these.
However! If youre lucky and were nearing the time to change into the next aligner it may be worth seeing if that fits. Although it will be a little tighter, if you can get the next aligner into place move straight into that one. It might hurt your teeth a little, but at least it wont hurt your pocket!!

“I’ve just finished all my treatment and am so pleased with the results, I want to make sure I look after my new smile more than I did my old, but how do I clean round the implant teeth?”
Throughout treatment we arrange hygienest visits and once you have finished we still insist you attend regularly to maintain your hygiene and the health of your mouth. The hygienest will go through intructions with you on how best to clean, particularly round implants/bridgework where methods might be slightly new to you.
There are many things additonal to your usual brushing. We may suggest a particualar toothpaste and/or mouthrinse. Cleaning interporximally (inbetween the teeth) may need floss, superfloss and/or tepe brushes. Your hygienist will be able to advise what you need and show you exactly how.

Liam McGrath is a little gem
He’s made me youthful and young again
With pearly whites gleaming new
I feel rejuvenated and happy too
Natasha’s a smasher
Along with the staff
They made me feel comfy
And gave me a laugh
Now I look posh
I have no dosh
But I’ll be back in a while
When I’ve saved up a pile!
Thank you soooo much
Love Susanne X
P.S. Now I’m smiling

“I’ve been told I need a Root Canal on one of my teeth, and the appointment has been booked for 2 hours, will it take this long?”
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) can take a range of time, and sometimes may be spread over two visits. The time can vary depending on many things. For example firstly, the tooth that is being treated – (the further back the tooth becomes in your mouth it generally has more roots – which means more root canals!) Secondly whether the tooth has been root filled before, this can mean time is needed to remove the previous root filling which again can be time consuming. There are many more factors that can dictate how long it might take.
The thing to bear in mind is that we also need to allocate time in the appointment for things besides the actual root treatment. Things like waiting for you to get numb and talking to you about post operative care.
Finally, the time that you are actually having the treatment will be made as comfortable as possible - with the use of rubber dam and anaesthetic you wont be feeling or tasting anything in your mouth. So you can lay back, listen to the music, relax and even have a little snooze!

“I am really delighted in my new implants. When I first came into your practice I did not believe there was alot you could do for me, but at the time you explained in detail what the journey entailed. I am so glad now I took the opportunity and went ahead with it. I am also amazed at your skills as a cosmetic surgeon, also from waht my family say you cannot tell the implants from the real thing.
Thank you so much Liam from a truly delighted patient.”
