“ My experience with dentists is not one of the best and having been born in the early 70s did not help either.

Perhaps due to certain predisposition and diet, I’ve suffered a lot from tooth decay and by the age of 11 I had already had a molar extracted (I still believe the extraction was unnecessary but, 30 years ago, it was a quite common thing to do if a tooth had severe decay).

Things did not get any better and by my late 20s most of my teeth had fillings, several crowns and a bridge (second extraction already taken place- this time well needed as a granduloma had developed underneath a decaying tooth).

Needless to say that all the work done on my mouth was not going to last forever. In fact, in March 2013, two teeth broke irreparably and I found myself with several teeth missing. I felt awful and was embarrassed to smile. Eating was hard too as I could no longer chew properly. I needed to get that sorted ASAP!

I went in search of a good dentist and after three consultations with different dentists, I was referred to Dr Punit.

What came next was a bit of a shock to me. After examining my situation, Dr Punit discovered that I had several infections.

Very calmly, Dr Punit explained to me that my mouth was in a such a bad state there were not quick fixes and the work I needed to have done would take at least 8 months

This was at first very demoralising and I cannot deny that I also got very worried about going through such a long and expensive treatment.

Nevertheless, after giving it some serious thought, I trusted what Dr Punit had told me and we began.

I would be lying if I said that I was not scared or stressed. Time passed by and it was really frustrating not to be able to eat the food I wanted. However everything went well in the end. The treatment lasted nearly 11 months and I had a total of 5 implants, 2 crowns , 2 root canals and a couple of filings done.

I can now be finally proud of my teeth. The infections aren’t there anymore and Dr Punit restored my smile and confidence in dentists.

Most importantly I can now chew proper food. Implants are the way forward and I cannot recommending them enough.

If you are thinking about getting your smile back, do not hesitate to see Dr Punit. You will not regret it ”

“‘A brilliant, fantastic job by Dr Punit and his team – and very gentle and thoughtful with it. With real gratitude.”

“‘Treatment: front tooth implant, treatment between January and August 2009. This is a treatment that i had been putting off for about 15 years. It is a long and expensive process and required me to be without a front tooth for 8 months. As such, a lot of good quality service and reassurance was required to get me through these months. I really did get this with Dr Shah. He explained everything that would happen in detail so that i knew what to expect. The temporary denture was excellent. The final implant looks great. As other patients have mentioned, dr shah is very kind and gentle- not your stereotypical dentist!”

“Having six caps including a bridge over a year long period which included preparatory work is a long procedure. Throughout this time i can honestly say i have been absolutely delighted. I am particularly frightened of the dentist and as such have avoided going whenever i could. If only i had found this practice years ago! In conclusion: a wonderful, professional and very reasonably priced service.”
From a fellow dentist….

“Not every dentist can be trusted to treat a family member. I am truly thankful that you treated my brother. He has now got a stable dentition which he should be able to maintain thanks to you. Thank you.”
