White continued professional development for dental implants

Lisa and Beccie have recently been on a dental implant course for nurses which was an excellent way to introduce Beccie to implant treatment. Beccie is new to the practice and has nursed for several years but has never had the opportunity to carry out implant treatment until now. For Lisa it was a good way to keep up to date with any required changes in the procedures we follow. At White we are very committed to continuing professional development so our patients can feel confident that we are providing excellent treatment and care.

Lady from Shirley overcomes her fear of visiting the dentist.

A lady from Shirley contacted White via email as she has a very bad phobia of visiting the dentist and felt unable to speak over the phone. She had several bad experiences in the past which has made her lose confidence. She explained how upsetting it was for her to write the email and said she will find it difficult to attend an appointment. At White we are very experienced in dealing with nervous patients so we suggested for her to attend a Free Consultation to allow her the chance to meet us and have a chat. She was very upset at her consultation but overcame a massive hurdle by attending her appointment. Our friendly team made her feel very welcome and relaxed and she has now commenced treatment which she felt she would never be able to do!

A lady from Emsworth needed crowns replacing on her front teeth and has always wanted a whiter smile. We suggested having Zoom tooth whitening treatment first so that we could match her new crowns to her new white smile. After showing her some pictures of other patients who have had similar treatment she agreed this would be an ideal treatment option for her. She now has a whiter smile and new crowns.

Lady from Bassett smiles confidently after having dental implants

A lady from Bassett came to White 2 years ago for a Free Consultation to discuss replacing her dentures and a couple of bridges. She was very self conscious about her smile and was very keen to focus on sorting her top teeth first. As she was very nervous we carried out her treatment under sedation, Dr White placed several implants on the upper and then fitted a bridge, she could finally lose her denture. She was so pleased with the results she very quickly wanted to start similar treatment on the lower to complete her new smile.

A new smile for a Bishop’s Waltham lady after having braces, dental implants, tooth whitening and new crowns.

A lady from Bishop’s Waltham came to White as she was tired of getting problems from her old fillings and also wanted to discuss the option of replacing her missing teeth. We made a suggestion of having orthodontic treatment first to correct her bite, followed by tooth whitening, crowns and implants. Initially she was concerned that 57 was too old to have braces, however once we started treatment her toothache resolved, which she had suffered with for sometime. Feeling completely confident with Dr White she allowed him to fit her braces. After 2 years she now has natural looking teeth and is able to bite, chew and smile with confidence, which she has said “is worth every penny!”

Lady from West End smiles with confidence after having dental implants

A lady from West End contacted White as she was unhappy with two missing teeth on the lower left. Cosmetically it had bothered her for some time but her main concern was that if she lost more teeth eating may become difficult. She didn’t want a denture and was unable to have a bridge. After having a Free Consultation with Dr White she decided to have two implants placed, as this is the most natural way to replace missing teeth. She attended recently for her final appointment and was absolutely ecstatic with the end result. She is able to eat what she likes and smile with confidence, safe in the knowledge that nobody will ever know there was once a gap.

Local Hamble lady smiles confidently after having dental implants

A Hamble lady attended White as a new patient as she was concerned with her missing teeth. As a local lady she had seen us in the village and hoped we would be able to help her out. Not only was she having problems with eating and her speech but as a teacher she was often asked by students why her teeth were so gappy!

After her consultation with Dr White, we assured her that we were able to help. Various treatment plans were drawn up for her to look at and she was encouraged that the best treatment would be to have Dental Implants. These are the most natural way to restore teeth and would provide function and help fill the gaps. The patient was keen to go ahead with treatment and she now has a smile that she is proud of! The only question people ask now is where she had her treatment carried out as her smile looks great!!

Nervous North Baddesley lady regains confindence, receives gum treatment and new smile.

We recenlty received an email from a very nervous patient from North Baddesley explaining how self conscious she is about her smile and also the bad experiences she has had in the past. A reply was sent explaining how our team at White could help to rebuild her confidence and improve her smile. When she replied she explained how upsetting it was for her to write the initial email and how comforted she felt knowing we could help her, she also said “you sound too good to be true” but she was keen to meet us. We called her to discuss booking an appointment and after spending time on the phone with one of our friendly team members she felt ready to book a New Patient Consultation. We have started to re build her confidence and help her to overcome her fear of visiting the dentist.  After visiting White for the first time she felt relieved to have taken the first step and was very proud of herself. She was worried that she would need a lot of treatment but there wasn’t as much as she thought. She had some advanced gum problems and our therapist is working with her to help improve her gum health. We will then create a treatment plan for her which will include different cosmetic options of ways we can help her to smile again.

At White our friendly team are very experienced in dealing with nervous patients and are constantly helping patients to smile again.
