Richa Sinha is the new dentist taking over from Ling Tung, who is leaving the practice to travel the world

Richa starts on Tuesday 7th July and,  like John Wright,  is registering both NHS and Private patients.

Keep you informed of how busy we are !

At the moment its busy but with the summer holidays about to start here we are expecting to quieten down. We are really busy at the moment with Invisalign Ortho - never knew how popular it was going to be - our Orthodontist Yas is run off his feet !

New dentist John Wright starts at the practice on Monday the 27th July. He takes over from Jackie Davidson who is leaving for OZ in August

Mr Wright is registering new NHS and Private patients - so get phoning !!

Here at Bath Street we have just become a part of DPAS - the practice plan people. Their mission statement is ” To provide the best Dental Plan Administration Services honestly, at a fair price, and with a real and continuing dedication to meeting the needs of our clients ” - we feel the same !

Having this plan means patients have peace of mind, knowing that their dental check up payments are being dealt with every month and when they come in, if they require any further treatment they are entitled to discounts - could it get any better ?!?!

Coming into work today was hard !! Not only are we MEGA busy but 3 of our staff are still coming down from the Take That concert at Hampden at the weekend !! AMAZING !!!

But back to work eh !! Nothing beats it !!

Sad News !! We have 2 Dentists leaving the practice :-(  Jackie Davidson, who has been with us since 2004 is leaving to live in Oz with her husband and Ling Tung is leaving to travel the world !!

We have 2 new Dentists starting in August when they leave so will keep you updated !!

Yesterday at the practice was hectic ! The amount of new patients coming in is unbelievable at the moment ! Nahida Roy, Jamie Maguire and Rita Ahmad have new folk coming out of their ears !! Being at the reception desk is a task at the minute. What with the amount of Medical Historys and Smile Menus that hav to be handed out, filled in and then scanned into treatment record cards we seem to be unable to catch up with the rest of our work !

Roll on the weekend !!

Just had our first few results with our new whitening system Enlighten. Labeled as the Ultimate Whitening Package the results so far have been brilliant. Patients have been over the moon and the patients they are refering to us is fantastic. Don’t think a lot of practices in the west of Scotland have the system so we seem to be doing a flying trade at the minute. The procedure is just like our old system - impressions taken and sent to the Enlighten lab to have trays constructed. After wearing the trays for 14 nights the patient comes back to the practice and has a laser whitening session just to finish it off ! Amazing results - Guaranteed !!

Have seen a lot of patients attending the practice recently looking to have Implants placed instead of denture work or bridgework. Our Implantologist Greig Mclean is ultra busy at the moment !! Saturdays are getting booked up really early and he is working late nights.After your initial consultation, all being well, you can have the first stage of your implant placed within a week or two. Even in the current financial climate we have seen quite a lot of new patients registering for cosmetic work.

Rita Ahmad had a new patient in last week who had  some NHS veneers done a few years ago. She was now unhappy with the work and having saved some money decided to see about having Private work. Rita done an extensive exam and after taking xrays and clinical photographs she and the patient decided on Cerec Veneers. An appointment was made for the whole afternoon. Her veneers were constructed and fitted on the one day and the patient left more than happy with the results.

Another happy customer !!

Excuse the lack of blogs recently but the practice has been really busy the past few weeks and getting time to sit down and let everyone know what we are up to has been almost impossible ! Lots of patients at the moment are requesting dermal fillers for lips and mouth area and muscle relaxants ie. Botox, obviously for the Christmas party season starting. For a dental practice we do have our fair share of patients requesting facial cosmetic procedures and once they see the results of this they always enquire after tooth whitening or other private dental work. It keeps us busy !
