I
would like to take the opportunity of sharing with you
my personal experience of the dental care I have received
over the last year with the Aquae Sulis practice.
My
first phone call was prompted by a tooth abscess, which
meant that I would lose a tooth. I am in my late forties
and since my twenties had experienced a great deal of
dentistry, crowns, bridges, fillings and had lost several
teeth. My job as a beautician and complementary therapist
meant that I always want to look as good as possible.
I felt that the next step was removable false teeth
and I was terrified.
Looking
at several different advertisements in the yellow pages
I telephoned two, the first one wanted money up front
before they would even look at me, but when I telephoned
Aquae Sulis they were so reassuring that I would be
able to do something about my poor dentistry and also
offered a free initial consultation to discuss the options.
I
was quite nervous when I arrived, but I need’t
have worried, everyone was so welcoming, and Ian Bellamy
explained all the different options, and there were
several when I thought there were none. At no time did
I feel pressurised to have anything done, but I can
honestly say that right from my first visit I knew that
I had come to the right place.

I
spent some time discussing with my husband and children
the different options. The cost had to be taken into
consideration as it would mean that there would be no
holidays for a while, no much needed new kitchen and
limited funds in helping our four children with their
studies. Everyone felt that none of that mattered if
it meant that I would feel so much better about myself.
I
had been so nervous of visits to the dentist in the
past that I had to take something to calm me down. I
never experienced this with any of my many visits to
Aquae Sulis. Over the past year I have had implants,
crowns and veneers and have never suffered any discomfort,
in fact I look forward to relaxing for an hour or two
and have even visited with the onset of a migraine which
had completely cleared by the time I left. If it was’t
for the fact 1 had to keep my mouth open I would have
slept through every treatment.
Since
my treatment finished I feel I have found myself again,
I no longer put my hand over my mouth when I speak,
or hide from the camera. I smile all the time, people
tell me how good I look especially men and it gives
me a real ‘buzz’. I can honestly say that
I have never been happier about my appearance I just
wish I had known about the Aquae Sulis practice a long
time ago.
The
professional, caring attitude that I have received from
every member of the team, confirms that my first impression
was correct. Thank you for giving me back my smile and
my confidence.
