Craig came to us in November 2023 with chipped and worn teeth which were bothering him and affecting his self-confidence in his day-to-day life.
His initial concerns when researching his treatment options were a restricted budget and not wanting to receive a denture.
During his initial consultation with Alina, one of our cosmetic dentists, it became apparent that Craig was a suitable candidate for composite bonding.
As with many patients we see, Craig had been exposed to bad experiences with dentists growing up but was pleasantly surprised by the treatment he received with us.
“I just feel a lot more confident and that means a lot to me.”
When asked about his treatment journey, Craig stated “Very good – 10 out of 10! Everybody’s very friendly, you’re just a real nice bunch of people here”.
Digital Smile Design
In complex cases like Craig’s patients may sometimes be referred to our in-house laboratory for digital smile design.
Our digital smile design process helps us to visualise the potential results from the treatments that have been recommended before treatment begins.
Due to his significant tooth wear and the reduction of vertical spacing between his teeth, digital visuals and a temporary prototype were created so that Craig could see and feel the results he could expect to achieve.
The digital smile design process was a great way to reassure Craig that we could give him a smile he could look and feel comfortable with.

Our treatment journey is something we pride ourselves on and is something we strive to deliver to every one of our patients. Our detailed approach to patient involvement is designed to make you feel comfortable and confident at each treatment appointment.
Craig’s treatment plan required him to attend several appointments, all of which were discussed with him beforehand so that he “was made aware at every stage” which resulted in him commenting that he found our team “very informative, helpful and explained everything”.
The Results
Craig’s treatment was “done well within the time” and he was made to feel very well looked after.
Craig further stated that he felt valued as patient, was offered support, empathy and advice and at no time felt rushed.
Craig’s Journey & Experience
Including his initial consultation with Alina, our cosmetic dentist, Craig’s treatment plan was completed in just three appointments.
From his initial examination to the completion of his new smile, we asked Craig how the process had made him feel and what impact his new teeth have had.
“I’m very happy with them. Very, very happy. To be honest, I’m still a bit shocked. I’m quite a shy person but when I look in the mirror I think to myself ‘is that my smile?!'”.
Dental Aftercare & Wellbeing Plans
To help Craig maintain his new dream smile he has also signed up for one of our dental wellbeing plans.
His dental care plan entitles Craig to regular check-ups every 6 months aimed at encouraging a strict routine of preventative oral healthcare.
These regular dental check-ups along with a brand new toothbrush, floss, and plenty of advice, mean that all Craig has to do now is to try and avoid his favourite cuisine of Indian food (oh no!).
We all hope Craig’s confidence continues to grow and encourage anyone struggling with similar dental issues to get in touch to see what can be done.
Are you ready to start your patient journey?
Arrange a free no obligation phone consultation
Requesting a no-obligation phone consultation with our treatment coordinator will allow you to ask any questions you may have. We can also arrange for you to visit the clinic to meet with one of our dental team for a further clinical assessment.
A clinical assessment will allow us to chat about your dental goals and the best way to achieve them. We will talk in-depth about the available treatments, along with the treatment process and payment options. It is also a great opportunity to have a look around our facilities and to meet with our friendly team, something which a lot of our anxious and nervous patients find is a great help.
