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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Important Update – 3rd November 2020

To our dear patients

We would like to reassure you that we will be remaining open during the forthcoming national lockdown for England. The Minister for Health has confirmed that dental practices are essential services and will not be affected by any new restrictions.

Dental practices are one of the safest and highly regulated environments that you can be in, we continue to wear high-level PPE and take the necessary precautions to keep both you and our team safe during every visit to us. Please be assured that the health and safety of you, our valued patients and our dedicated team remains our first priority.

If you currently have an appointment booked with us for November please do attend as normal. Should you have any queries do not hesitate to contact us.

As always please stay safe and well and we hope to see you at the practice very soon.

Warmest regards

Dr Usha Ramjas, Dr Neresh Behari and the Dental Studio Team

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

 

To our dear patients, colleagues and friends

 

We wanted to take the opportunity to not only update you but also to thank everyone, patients, staff and colleagues for all the kind words and thoughts we have received since this all began.  Your support has been incredible, and we cannot begin to thank everyone enough, we hope you all continue to stay safe and well and that those of you facing similar business and financial challenges also come through the other side.

It has been over 16 years since we started our business and we have dealt with many tough challenges, but this global crisis is truly unprecedented. 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. We are all continually keeping abreast of the latest industry and government COVID 19 advice  relating to dentistry and as soon as we are able to open safely for business, we will. Our management team are discussing and taking into consideration all possibilities for the future and how we will manage going forward to help us prepare for reopening and effective management of our appointment book to accommodate you.

We are not sure if things will ever be the same again, but we do know that we are in this together and will pull through to see better times once more.

In the meantime, we hope you and yours stay safe and well.

With warmest regards

Usha and Neresh

 

 

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.
 
Thank you for your full co-operation and most importantly please stay safe, we will all very much look forward to welcoming you back with open arms in the near future.
