Existing Patients

Please see below for some general information and please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries.
At the Practice on Broadway I am providing restorative dentistry including implants, crowns, bridges, dentures and treatment for gum disease alongside my specialist colleagues Dr Paul O'Neilly and Dr Dimitra Tsarouchi. I have access to your previous records and a similar approach to treatment planning, decision-making and clinical treatment to my colleagues. If I am seeing you for treatment for gum disease I would strongly encourage you to read the relevant information on my website.
I am always keen to improve the experience for my patients and if having attended for an appointment, you feel that this process could be enhanced then please do let me know.

Achieving the best outcomes within restorative dentistry is a team working process involving the clinician, support staff and most of all the patient. Keeping us informed of any concerns, worries or expectations during treatment and working with us when undergoing complex procedures invariably results in the best outcomes.
Complications
Good planning usually highlights potential complications and these would be discussed with you. It is important that treatment is completed in as short a period of time as possible allowing for normal healing. Delays for whatever reason increase the risk of complications.

Emergency Care
I attend The Practice on Broadway on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The rest of my time is spent at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. I am rarely available immediately but messages are reliably passed on by good staff at these locations.

I have Consultant and Specialist colleagues who can help if required. Occasionally, it may be more convenient to contact your own dentist.

Outcomes and Warranties
I am usually optimistic and realistic about what can be achieved. Please ask me if you have specific enquiries not covered by the information that I have given you.
Naturally, when dealing with the human body, no guarantees are possible. Nonetheless, I shall be responsible for all the restorations I place for a period of one year. Experience has demonstrated that this is sufficient time for any latent problems to be manifest.
Review and Maintenance
It will be your obligation to maintain meticulous oral hygiene and remain as plaque free as possible. Most of the problems encountered after extensive treatment are usually the result of a neglect of oral hygiene and diet advice. I cannot stress too strongly the need for your total co-operation in maintaining meticulous oral hygiene during and after your treatment. You should reduce your intake of sugar and maintain a nutritious diet that does not contribute to your oral problems. You will also need to use a high concentration fluoride tooth paste and fluoride rinse daily to reduce the possibility of dental decay. 
After most treatments you can return to normal care with your dentist. Regular annual review with x-rays after implant treatment provides guidance on long term success.
