Meet Dr Usha Ramjas

Introducing: Dr Usha Ramjas BDS University of Witwatersrand 1995 GDC: 71183

Dr Usha Ramjas is one of the practice owners of Dental Studio. Graduating in 1995 in South Africa before moving to the UK.

Usha is an ELITE APEX Invisalign provider, which means that she is one of the highest achieving, leading Invisalign providers within Europe.

Not only is Dr Ramjas highly experienced, she also prides herself on creating beautiful, healthy smiles that help patients to look and feel great.

Dr Ramjas is extremely passionate about utilising minimally invasive techniques, which is where her love for the Invisalign system comes from. Dr Ramjas is known for finishing her cases to a very high standard, she will work closely with her patients to match their expectations and always go the extra mile to ensure that her patients achieve the result they are seeking. She will frequently carry out whitening, composite bonding or veneers, if necessary, after the Invisalign treatment to perfect the final result. 

She believes in comprehensive care and has a holistic approach when dealing with her patients, so that all her patients’ needs are met. Dr Ramjas offers her patients the very latest, cutting-edge technology. Patients attending for Invisalign treatment will be scanned using an iTero digital scanner instead of having old fashioned impressions, this is not only more comfortable for our patients but greatly improves accuracy.

In addition, patients will be able to start their Invisalign journeys in a newly fitted Invisalign Zone. Dental Studio are extremely proud to showcase the very first Invisalign Zone within Hampshire.

In her own words: ‘There is nothing more rewarding and exciting than helping my patients to recover and improve their smiles’.

Usha loves to spend time with her family and enjoys, yoga, travelling and cooking.

Please give our lovely reception team a call to book an appointment with Dr Ramjas or find out more on how we can enhance your smile.

Amanda is nearly there!

Amanda, as you all know is our very own ‘celebrity’ has now reached week 26 and wearing aligner tray 13 of her Invisalign Journey.

You can really see the difference with the changes which are quite significant, I am sure you will agree.

Amanda says she receives so many lovely comments from her family and friends which boosts her confidence no end. The difference is really evident now in photos too.  The changes have greatly helped with managing her oral health care too, flossing and using ID brushes are also so much easier to manage, which is another great aspect of having Invisalign treatment.

Amandas’ review appointment for the ‘Debond’ treatment is due in May, so just six weeks away from finishing her Invisalign journey. We cannot wait to see the final results and celebrate her journey as a team.

We have included a before photo (Amanda apologizes but it is a natural funny photo and a good shot!)

Cheese!

and the most recent photo of Amanda (and the cute Toby).

 

All we can say is WOW and we have not even finished yet.

As always, Amanda and the whole team are here to answer any of your questions in regards to Invisalign you may have,  do come and visit us to try out our Invisalign Patient Zone and see for yourself what a difference Invisalign could make for you.

You will always receive a warm welcome at Dental Studio so do not hesitate to call us to find out more or book an appointment.

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

Sarahs’ Invisalign Journey – Part 1

I have been a dental nurse for 30 years and worked for Dental Studio for 2 ½  years.

Seeing the amazing patient journeys our patients go through when having their Invisalign treatment with our fabulous Dr Usha Ramjas inspired me to undertake my own journey which I want to share with you all so you can hear first hand how it feels and see the changes that will be made along the way….

My front teeth are tilted back so whenever I saw photo’s of myself , to me my front teeth always looked dark due to the way the light hit them in the photo. I hated photos and would try not to show my teeth when smiling. This really knocked my confidence. So, a few years ago I went to see an specialist orthodontist.  When I heard that I would need to have my jaw broken and wired for a long period of time, I just could not face that sort of treatment, even with my experience as a nurse. So I left it and considered veneers, however since working with Dental Studio and being part of so many patients Invisalign journey with Usha I could see their start and end results. Whilst I was so happy to see their end results, I was also envious of our patients when they finished treatment as their teeth and smiles were fantastic. So I took the plunge……

I started my own journey with Invisalign in June, I have to say I am already quite a way through. The process to straighten my teeth should take approx. only 4-5 months, although in some cases this can be as quick as 3 months.

I can already see such a difference so I am sharing this with you all!

The invisible brace are comfortable to wear, I did have to get used to the feeling at the start but this only took a couple of days. I wear the aligners for 22 hours a day but no one has even noticed, not even my family!

Honestly,  I am so excited to see my end results so I can share this with you all. If you would like to talk to me personally or indeed any of my colleagues,  for any further information, we are always here and will be more than happy to meet with you for a complementary consultation! Just give us a call.

With best regards

 

Sarah (Dental Nurse) 

My journey starts!

Wearing my clear Invisalign aligner!

A beautiful smile using the latest, and least invasive, approach…

For years, patients have been visiting Dental Studio looking for that smile that will bring back confidence lost. Patients complain of missing their smile, hiding their teeth, being embarrassed of the colour, shape or alignment, but also being nervous about the treatment involved in putting things right.

We are proud to be offering a new type of treatment that could solve all of these problems without the need for drilling away tooth surface – a beautiful smile using a minimally invasive process – ABB or Align, Bleach, Bond.

The process is as follows:

It all starts with Alignment, or tooth straightening! Using one of the invisible straightening systems that we have in place – 6 Month Smile, Invisalign, Lingual Braces or Simpli 5 – we straighten the teeth to the perfect position to enhance your new smile.

The second process is the Bleaching – the whitening of the teeth, improving the colour of the teeth by up to 12 shades.

The final stage of the smile makeover is the Bonding section, or the placement of tooth coloured fillings on the front of the teeth. This is less invasive than the placement of veneers, which involves the drilling away of tooth material. These fillings are placed over your original teeth, allowing us to get the perfect shape and shade, without damaging the underlying structure.

No need for veneers, no drilling away of precious tooth, just amazing results.

We are offering this treatment as a package to our patients – please speak to reception for more information on 02392 254234 or 01243 532992.
