Top Places and Services in United Kingdom

Today was my third visit to Elegant Smiles and again greeted by the lovely reception crew, Darcy, Solvie and Emily. I then went to see my Knight in shining armour Conor for my examination who always puts me at ease and takes plenty of time to explain everything and make me feel comfortable. Then I went to see Hasan for the first time! He was so lovely and gentle and put me at ease with my first time at the hygienist. I have always been a very nervous patient due to past experiences as a child, but thanks to the lovely team I have now regained my trust. Would highly recommend!

Dr Israr is a modern-day Michelangelo, sculpting teeth.

My back story…….

I approached a local dentist last September (2023) with regards to having some dental work to repair my very worn 2 front teeth. The practice signed me up to a monthly insurance package, and a ‘treatment plan’ to prepare my teeth for the repair work I wanted.

After a year of waiting with promises of my new front teeth, and paying over £400 for some initial remedial treatment, I was then informed that the treatment required to change my 2 front teeth would cost £16,700, because I had a bad bite and would need work on all my teeth to rectify.

The dentist in question was really rather proud that he had access to brand new technology to take scans of my teeth yet had to refer to his colleague on how to work it.......

I asked him if we could maybe do the work in stages as I could not afford £16,700. He said no, because my bite was bad, and it was all or nothing.

My new story……

On further research I found Elegant Smiles.

I made an appointment and met with Dr Israr Razaq and explained where I was at, and he was extremely professional, listening to my wishes.

Dr Isra ‘scanned’ my teeth with total ease, using the same equipment my old dentist had boasted about but didn’t actually know how to use!

Dr Isra then sent me a personal video, showing my teeth (scary…….are they my teeth?!) He talked through the video, detailing the work he would like to do, along with an explanation regarding my bite, and how it would settle once the work was completed.

Once I had agreed to Dr Isra’s course of treatment, I had another appointment for him to take “pattern work” impressions that would show the final look.

On the next appointment, he applied “pattern work” to my teeth and they looked amazing, even though it was a mock up.

Dr Isra’s idea was to do composite veneers on 5 of my upper teeth and replace an old porcelain crown.

He also explained that composite veneers would not have the ‘shelf life’ of porcelain, which I found very honest (I already knew this via Google) but if I get maybe 8 years on the composite, I can start saving for porcelain …….

To give an idea of cost, for my beautiful smile, amazingly £3,300.

My son and daughters have shown my teeth to their colleagues, and they all say how amazing my teeth look

In a nutshell, Dr Isra I say again, Michelangelo, sculpting in teeth.

I have attached some photos to show before and after and the last one is me today, still smiling. I have actually put a small mirror in my kitchen so I can gaze at all times.

My confidence has risen ten-fold, and I am smiling more than ever before.

A huge thank you to Dr Isra for the transformation. I feel so much more confident with my new smile. You are amazing at what you do.

Excuse the gross angles and not super clear pictures. Today I had my first hygienist appointment at Elegant Smiles Spalding, for quite a few years due to a number of reasons. I quite literally cried after because I couldn't believe how amazing they looked and haven't done in so long! Conner and all of the team from receptionists to assistant are amazing friendly and caring! Conner is very approachable and calming and understanding. My teeth look and feel beautiful !! Thank you so much 💓
