Amanda’s Invisalign Journey – Week 3

As some of you may know Amanda, our fabulous receptionist is now on her second Invisalign aligner and on week 3 of her Invisalign journey and we want to keep you updated with her progress.

Amanda, now says the first set of aligners were so comfortable she had forgotten she had been wearing them, they did start to feel loose at the end which is a great feeling as you know they are doing their job. Amanda noted that her new set of aligners did again feel a little tight when first wearing them which she knew was to be expected, but again with a little pain relief on the first day, this was manageable.

Joe, her partner is also very supportive of her journey and keeps reminding Amanda to ensure she has her aligners in. This is driving Amanda crazy as she tells Joe she already has them in! So discreet, Joe does not even notice.

Amanda usually suffers from involuntary clenching of her jaw, which often caused her jaw to ache but has found the aligners have really helped with this too.

Our lovely patients have also been able to ask Amanda lots of questions from her experience with the aligners so far which has been so good for them to hear firsthand what this treatment is actually like.

I can happily say the ‘Invisalign buzz’ continues at Dental Studio.

Amanda’s top tip: Put your new aligner in at night and sleep through the change.

Please, remember, our team is always here to answer any questions you may have regarding any dental treatment, have any concerns, queries or wish to improve your smile. Just give us a call!

With warmest regards to you all

Barbara

Amanda and the Invisalign Buzz!

You may have already had the pleasure of meeting and talking to our lovely receptionist Amanda at our Waterlooville practice, you cannot miss her, she certainly brings added sparkle to our team and patients’ day.

Amanda has recently started her own Invisalign journey with us, provided by our amazing, Dr Usha Ramjas and we thought it would be great to share this with you all so you can hear first-hand how easily Invisalign fits into her life, and it is only the first week.

Even though Amanda has a very good understanding of Invisalign she was still a little apprehensive on embarking on this treatment, wondering if it would be uncomfortable, would it affect her speech and as she is front of house, would patients notice.

Despite Amanda’s apprehension she was also incredibly excited and believe me, we all knew this, team, patients, and visitors. I have called it the Invisalign Buzz! Patients have also been asking Amanda for her first-hand experience which has supported them throughout their own journey which is what we are all about.

As some of you may know the journey may be slightly different for each individual but for Amanda, her treatment will last approx. 32 weeks, such a short time to achieve a new smile.

After getting her first set of clear aligners fitted, they did feel a little odd and Amanda felt her speech was different, which is to be expected but she was amazed after her first day that it felt so normal and comfortable. Her speech also has gone back to normal already! After visiting her sister on her first weekend with her aligners, her sister did not even notice until Amanda had to point them out!

We will keep you all posted on her journey and do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to know more about Invisalign or any other dental treatment, we are always here for you at every step.

Have a great day all!

Warmest regards

Barbara

Dental Studio Update

To our dearest patients,

First of all, we very much hope this communication finds you all in good health, and we sincerely hope that this terrible virus has not affected your families or friends on a personal level.

As you may now be aware, the Chief Dental Officer has announced that dental practices will now be allowed to begin the phased process of reopening for emergency care from Monday 8th June 2020. (This was the first time the dental profession heard the news too!)

Whilst this is indeed exciting news for all of us, we do recognise that we still need to ensure that the wellbeing of our patients and colleagues is our top priority. As a result Dental Studio will only reopen when we are satisfied that we have all of the necessary processes and personal equipment in place to guarantee your health and safety. Obtaining PPE has been a particular challenge, as you may be aware there is a national shortage and having the correct PPE in place is essential for reopening.

We are working hard on this and anticipate being able to give you more detail on our reopening date in the coming days, but for now we would like to fully reassure you that whenever we do reopen, we will do so putting your – and our – welfare at the forefront of everything we do.

The practices will almost certainly look and feel a bit different when we do reopen and we will be taking very significant additional precautions in the way we conduct appointments. Our staff may need to use additional PPE for some time, and you, our valued patients may be asked to help us during this process. We will provide more details in due course. The aim will be to provide the same personal and excellent service that you have come to expect of our team.

Just a reminder that for now that we are still on the end of the telephone and on e-mail if you would like to discuss anything. Just call the practice number as normal. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep updated.

With our sincerest best wishes for your continued good health during hopefully this last period of uncertainty.

Usha, Neresh and the Dental Studio team

We have been astounded at how people have pulled together during this time, and we cannot wait until we open our doors again and can warmly welcome you all back and continue to deliver our services to you.

Seeing our amazing NHS and key workers continue through this crisis has also been inspirational. Some of you reading this message are indeed those amazing people and to you we want to say a huge heartfelt  THANK YOU on behalf of the Dental Studio family you really do make the UK proud.

We want to remind and assure you all that we are still here for you albeit it over the phone should you have any dental emergency or need advice.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

To our dear patients and friends

You, like all of our patients, are part of our family at Dental Studio. And, just like you, keeping our family safe and healthy during this challenging time is our first concern. In order to protect your overall health as well as your oral health, we have taken the following measures.

Practice closure and postponing all routine appointments:

With latest government guidance around Covid-19, the practice is now closed until further notice and cannot provide any treatment, even in an emergency.  Contrary to the housing minister’s announcement on Sunday 29th March, dental practices have NOT been issued with the correct personal protective equipment to safely see and treat patients.

All routine appointments have been suspended or rebooked.

We’re still here to help

Ensuring you are cared for is a duty that the whole practice team takes very seriously. Rest assured we will provide all possible assistance that is safe and in line with government guidance.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency our dentists, health permitting, will do their best to provide advice over the phone and direct you to an NHS emergency centre when open if absolutely necessary.

Please call our normal practice number and you will be given a direct telephone number to call should you have a dental emergency. Please note that this will be for triage or advice only during the hours of 10am – 12pm (Midday) Monday to Friday.

We cannot stress any more how important you are to us, not just as a business but personally. Please do everything you can to keep yourselves and those around you safe. Do not take unnecessary risks and for the moment stay indoors wherever possible.

We cannot wait to see you again and have the chance to talk under better circumstances. If you have any questions, please email us at:

reception@studiodental.co.uk or chichester@studiodental.co.uk

With warmest regards always

Your Dental Studio Team

Dear patients and friends

Firstly, we sincerely hope you are all keeping safe and well.
 
We want to keep you all updated, In line with the department of health national guidelines in relation to limiting social contact and in accordance with the ‘delay’ phase of the coronavirus pandemic, we want to assure you we are continuing to work hard to protect you and our teams.
 
We have taken the decision to provide an ‘Urgent and Emergency Care’ service only.
 
We are also making every effort to limit contact in our waiting rooms and reception areas. To support this, when awaiting for urgent/emergency dental care we have two waiting rooms to comfortably accommodate you or if you would prefer you can remain in your car until our clinical teams are ready for you. If you call us to let us know you have arrived (parked), we can then call you back when we are ready to take you straight through to the treatment room.
 
Can we ask that you always call us in advance of attending practice for advice. Please attend your emergency appointments on your own wherever possible.
 
Our dedicated team will continue to be here to take your calls and respond to any emails. Should you have any concerns, wish to seek dental advice or indeed feel anxious or concerned about this situation do not hesitate to contact us.
