What Our Patients Say

What’s it like to be a New Patient at our Leicester Dentist?

Dentist Nik Patel talking to one of his leicestershire patientsI have received dental treatment from Nik three times, the first time I had not been to see a dentist for a few years and although I am not frightened of dentists he definitely made me feel at ease and explained what was going to happen. This occasion was for a general dental check up.

The most recent treatment was for my front tooth which had been capped as a child and had to be re-done as it had disintegrated. Nik firstly made the necessary assessment and I was able to have the work completed within a week. This was completed beautifully and all my teeth were cleaned and polished in the process. Nik is a very helpful dentist and seems happy when he is working. his assistant seems happy and they both work together as a team to make dental treatment as seamless as possible.

A thank you card from our leicester patients
I have been meaning to send you a thank you card sooner! As you know I had problems with tooth infections and a capped tooth. I had to make decisions on how to go forward. There were a few calls and visits to you and you all took the time to explain things which helped me decide what to do. I am now just 16 days away from getting my implant. Thank you for all of your help.

Well What a Surprise!

Well what a surprise and delight!

A ring at the doorbell, a parcel just for me and a lovely message spelt out in Thorntons super alphabet chocolates! They were beautifully presented with a brown organza bow, so looked spectacular as well as tasted delicious. It was so fitting that they came at this special time of year.

Thank you, thank you dear Lina and dear Shrik and the dear team. It was a privilege being looked after by you, only the very best of tip top dental treatment. You absolutely always made me feel that I had your total care, attention and detailed skill. I could not have had better dentistry, a dearer dental nurse to reassure me or better care from ‘behind the counter’.

I shall always remember you- I have known Dawn from coming to the dentist for such a long time.

Love from Sue

Are you afraid of the dental chair too?

I have been a patient at Smile Essential Dental Practice for several years now and I have been extremely satisfied with all the treatment I have received.

Shrik is by far the best dentist I have ever had, he is kind, gentle and always aware of my slight fear of the dentist’s chair! I would without doubt recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dental practice.

Leicester Dentist: a model for other dental practice’s

Smile Essential Dentists near Fosse Park

We received this lovely email from one of our Leicestershire dental patients. It’s so lovely when our local patients take the time to let us know how we are doing as a dental practice. Here at Smile Essential Dental Practice we are always striving to offer the people of Leicester the best in terms of clinical care and dental excellence.

“Hi, I just want to say a big thank you for the sympathetic and professional manner in which you treated me whilst I was suffering from a painful abscess which eventually required the tooth to be removed. On each occasion I was seen on the day of request. From front of house to “back room” I received treatment that I have never experienced before at a dental practice. You have created a practice that should be the model of all dental practices. Many thanks to Nik, Lina, and the dental nurses on the respective days (superb) and not forgetting the first impression maker, the all important reception staff. Finally to “Mr Bean” thanks for the distraction, it certainly helped.”

Six Month Smiles. Watch the before video of Smile Essential’s Dental Nurse Gemma

Six Month Smiles is an adult cosmetic brace system which is fast becoming one of the most popular methods for straightening adults who want straight teeth without having to have years of orthodontic treatment. Our journey at Smile Essential Dental Practice started when Gemma a Leicestershire Dental Nurse at our Narborough road clinic decided to get her teeth straightened. Heres what she said:

“I had always had reasonably straight teeth but as I got older they seemed to get more crowded and then my front teeth started to cross over, unfortunately the first time I noticed how bad it had got was on my wedding photos! To be honest I was quite upset here were the photos of my wedding day with everything looking amazing apart from my teeth! After that I stopped showing my teeth when I had to smile in photos and it kind of made me sad. Being a dental nurse teeth are important to me and I get to be part of patients journeys to improve their smile all the time. To see people’s increase in confidence is one of the best things about my job as a dental nurse. After we completed one particular smile makeover for a woman around my age and how great her teeth now looked I knew I had to do something to sort out my crooked teeth and get my confident smile back. Smile Essential Dentist work closely with a few Leicester Orthodontists (brace specialists) and I went for a couple of consultations to see what options I had to have fixed (train tracks) cosmetic braces but I thought the brace treatment was expensive (nearly £4000!) and for me it was a huge commitment to wear braces for 2 years. I thought the alternative might have been an invisible brace system for adults called Invisalign, but was disheartened again by the cost, the 2 year commitment and the inconvenience of taking them in and out everytime I ate or have a cup of tea! I discussed my disappointment with my dental colleagues and this is where I learnt about a new revolution in straightening teeth called Six Month Smiles. To be honest it sounded to good to be true! Straight teeth in just 6 months and it was cheaper?! But I went for a consultation and as you can see from my video I had the treatment carried out. I started in November 2012 and finished in time for my romantic holiday in May 2013 with my new straight teeth! Ever since the treatment I literally dont stop smiling! I wanted to share my photo from my holiday after the treatment to show just how great my smile makeover has been and how confident I am in smiling for photos now. Six Month Smile was definitely the best option for me. Straighter teeth in just 6 months and a life time of now smiling confidently.”

Six Month Smiles is different from conventional brace systems offered at Orthodontic (braces specialists) Practices, because it works by moving or straightening the teeth that are visible when you smile and not adjusting the bite on the back teeth treatment can be completed anywhere from 4-9 months with the average smile taking 6 months. Watching Gemma’s teeth straighten with this simple yet effective brace system inspired all of the dentist to learn more about this exciting cosmetic treatment and all 3 dentists at Smile Essential Dental Clinic under went the relevant advance training in London and liaising with the Six Month Smiles Specialists so that they could offer this incredible treatment to their Leicester Patients. Six Month Smiles has proved to be very popular and understandably so. As one of Leicestershire’s leading private cosmetic dental practices we like to be at the forefront of new advances in dentistry and Six Month Smiles is certainly changing the face (literally) of the easy way for adults to straighten teeth in dentistry.

Terrified of Coming to the Dentist

Smile Essential dentist Leicester

To Smile Essential,

Thank you so much for the excellent care I received from Nik and his nurse. I was terrified of coming to dentist, to the point of tears and nearly not going through the door. But the girls on the front desk were so lovely and welcoming.

My head was pounding with sheer fright, but Nik came to take me the surgery and made me feel so relaxed. Nothing was rushed, not even the treatment. Nik’s dental nurse was lovely to me as well.

Now after all the treatment I have had I will not be afraid to come to your dental practice again. Thank you Nik very much.

Ms. P.P, Leicestershire

p.s I could even bring my Cliff Richard CD, to play during treatment. Which was a real bonus.
