RE-cementing of a crown – Male –Age 5- from Harpenden
My tooth dropped out this morning and I could not concentrate or smile or talk until it was sorted. I was working in the area and David saw me as an emergency patient, as I could not get to see my own dentist. David was excellent. He talked me through what he was doing, discussed options and treated me as a usual patient.

I had 2 fillings today and I was so comfortable that I dozed off! I never thought that would happen in the dentist chair. My teeth look much better than they did before treatment.

Braces – female – Age 18 from London
I’m planning to have some braces fitted. I needed to have lots of records taken to progress with my treatment. I had moulds taken, some photographs and xrays. My teeth could be improved and hopefully they will look better once my treatment has been completed. Yasmin is very nice and a good dentist.

Snap on Smile – Surrey

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

We are the only Dental Clinic in Surrey that is offering Snap-On-Smile. Have you ever looked at somebody and noticed their smile? Whether someone has good teeth or bad teeth, we all notice. That is why having nice straight teeth is so important.

Research has shown that people with beautiful smiles are perceived as more beautiful than people with unattractive smiles because it is the smile that contributes to their overall attractiveness. You only have to look at movie stars to realise that all of the attractive ones seem to have perfectly straight white teeth, and of course a beautiful smile.
Whether patients are looking to correct crowding, spacing, missing teeth, staining, wear and tear or a reduction in facial height, Snap-On Smiles has formulated a solution that is fast, affordable, non-invasive and totally reversible.

Snap-On Smiles is a temporary appliance that is placed directly over existing teeth, producing an instantaneous new smile so much like your real teeth, you can even eat with it in. With proper care, it can last for years, and provides a simple alternative to the many other invasive, expensive and painful dental and orthodontic procedures that are available

Prices can start from as little as £995.

Splint Therapy – female – headaches

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

I have suffered with headaches for many years. About once a month it would get so bad that I would spend a day or two in bed vomiting all day. I always felt very washed out after experiencing such an episode. It was degrading my quality of life and it was depressing to know that it would continue to occur. I tried many things including going regularly to the chiropractor.

Yasmin suggested wearing a splint at night to try and stop me from clenching my teeth which she thought was causing the damage. She took all the impressions and it was sent off to be made. I will not try and say that it was easy to begin with, wearing the splint and getting used to it. It was uncomfortable and I very nearly gave up wearing it. However I persevered and it has been worth it as I can honestly say, that to my amazement, it has worked and I have not had a recurrence of the awful headaches that I used to have. I would advise anybody thinking of having such a splint fitted, to persevere and give the mouth time to get used to it. It took me at least a month, maybe more.

I am about to embark on having my second splint made. It has made all the difference to my life.

Kate Middleton – Dental Treatment

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

What would you do to perfect your smile for THE photograph that will seen ‘Around The World on April 29th 2011’?

We were very impressed when we heard that Kate Middleton has had a smile makeover, it certainly looks like our future Queen has had a bit of help…. in the dental department, that is.

It has been reported that Kate’s gorgeous smile has recently undergone a makeover,

Kate has had a course of “revolutionary dental treatment” to get her teeth ‘picture-perfect’ ahead of the engagement.

This treatment uses 3D digital technology to cut the amount of time braces need to stay on (and also applies the brace behind the teeth to ensure invisibility during treatment).

Kate has also had tooth whitening.

What did Kate’s dental makeover cost?

At The Courtyard Clinic, one of the few practices locally, able to offer this treatment…..Fees start at £2,000 for invisible braces on the upper front teeth only, and can go up to £6,000 for full treatment on upper and lower teeth, with treatment taking from four to six months to two years.

Perhaps Kate’s known about this engagement for far longer than any of us suspected…!

The results are amazing, our future queen looked happy and relaxed, smiling widely during the official photocall.

Female aged 37 from Shalford Surrey

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

I had three wisdom teeth extracted and an implant placed by Dr Sharad Patel. The procedure was carried out under sedation and I was very surprised at how well this worked! I do not remember anything from the point that I was sedated to the moment I left. Dr Patel and his anesthetist were very kind, patient and gentle and I would highly recommend him and all the team at the Courtyard. I also very much appreciated the follow-up call that I received from Dr Yasmin George the following day.

I started coming to The Courtyard about six months ago having not been to the dentist for over 15 years. I contacted The Courtyard because of the services that they provide to nervous/phobic patients and was so relieved when I first met Dr Yasmin George and knew that I was in good hands to finally get my teeth back in shape. Dr Yasmin George was very patient and understanding right from my first consultation. She is very friendly but also very professional and, most importantly for me, I completely trust her and know she will stop if ever I feel any pain (which is very rarely!) or just if I need a rest! I have now had a total of seven cerecs, of which three were done today, and I can whole-heartedly recommend Dr George and her team to anyone – but more particularly to anybody who is nervous or phobic about the dentist. I also have to mention that all the team at The Courtyard are lovely and friendly and will do their utmost to make you comfortable and at ease.

She is wearing ‘Snap on Smile’ on her upper teeth. It has filled the spaces where teeth are missing and improved the shape and alignment of her eixsting teeth. We hope she had a fab wedding day!
