His team were wonderful too, they really wrapped me in cotton wool. They looked after me so well, that eventually, I made that leap of faith to have a full upper set of implants. “This was a huge decision for me. I was practically having a nervous breakdown. I can honestly say I don’t think any other dentist would have got me through everything. They were so kind, so thoughtful – they really cared. “The biggest thing that made me go ahead with the surgery was Peter’s confidence. There was nothing he couldn’t do- no problem he couldn’t get around. Everything I asked he answered. He knew his stuff, and eventually I gained complete trust in him. His confidence made me confident.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/149ddf52-0943-45bd-9a0b-87a641b3ba39/Dental+Confidence+retouches+-08.jpg Patient Stories - Sue – Patient Report Dealing with a dental phobia despite this wonderful news, Sue’s biggest problem was her extreme phobia of dentists, so she was still very reluctant to have the surgery. “My fear of dentistry is enormous. I cannot bear the smell or sight of practices, or anything to do with dentistry. Just walking into a dentist fills me with fear. I have even become so stressed I’ve become ill before going. So, it goes without saying, I was reluctant to say yes to having upper implants, even though I really wanted them! “ It was then that Peter began to explain that I had nothing to fear, that I just needed to make a leap of faith. He didn’t rush me, and after lots of appointments, he took me through every part of the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/b2564fad-beaa-499c-96f7-1d6deef127fe/Sue.jpg Patient Stories - Sue – Patient Report Life Changing Results Once the dental implant surgery was complete, Sue saw immediate results. “I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled and delighted I was. There’s no other way to say it - the treatment changed my life!”. “The team took so much care on the colour and the way they look. I have a job where I face people that I’m training. With implants, I speak better and look so much nicer. The effect it has had on my confidence is huge. I can eat what I want and never worry about dentures falling out. I can laugh and smile and I don’t think oh no, people are going to look at my teeth! “ I like to look glamorous but wearing dentures used to get in the way of that. Now, when I’m on my holidays I can act normal for the first time. And, I just have to pack toothbrushes now! No products and equipment to clean the dentures, no putting them in a glass and worrying about dropping them whilst I’m away! “I can honestly say, I wouldn’t have done it without Dental Confidence. There’s no one else that could have gained my trust like they did. I can’t express enough how much it has changed everything for me. “ “If there’s anyone out there thinking about implants but is holding back because of fear- I was the most frightened person you could imagine- a true phobic. And Dental Confidence made it possible for me - so they can help you too. The impact of having implants will be more than worth it!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/203b12c3-ddb9-4374-b0a3-55435e66cedb/Surgery.jpg Patient Stories - Sue – Patient Report “My dentist led me to believe that my implants could not be fixed, but miraculously, Dr Sanders told me he could do it.” Said Sue. “His knowledge and skills were very impressive. Then, he began to explain what a difference it would make if I were to to replace the dentures and have implants at the top as well.” When Sue’s top teeth were extracted, she was originally told that there were roots were remaining, and so removing them would mean hospitalisation, illness, and a long period of recovery. “I thought- I’m never going through all that.”, said Sue. But after a brief examination, Dr Sanders explained that this was not true, and the implants could in fact, be placed around the roots. https://www.drpetersanders.com/patient-stories/nikki monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/91ea5412-56ec-4545-85a7-16f69bdb26cc/Nikki2.jpg Patient Stories - Nikki - Patient Report - “When I visited the practice, I learnt that the rest of the team were all also amazing. They all immediately made me feel so comfortable, and when I met Peter, I was super impressed. I’m actually terrified of dentists, but he was so great with me, he is fantastic and so supportive with nervous patients. Dr Sanders and his team pay attention to every detail – you can tell he is a perfectionist in every way.” “After having the treatment – I couldn’t believe it. I had full extraction and left the practice with completely new teeth that day. And I never experienced any pain- now that is quite incredible coming from someone who cannot bear having an injection!” “Having implants has been life changing- I can eat and drink normally again and have the things I have really missed. If I am honest, I had forgotten what it was like – just to function normally. I didn’t realise how much implants would boost my confidence. I couldn’t recommend Dental Confidence more. https://www.drpetersanders.com/patient-stories/lynda monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/765d6cc1-76ee-4ef1-b9d0-7c88c806b0ec/Before+%26+After.jpg Patient Stories - Lynda - Patient Story - A new smile in a day In a single appointment, after the necessary preparation and surgical planning, Lynda’s teeth were removed, and her implants were placed. This allowed for an immediate set of teeth to be securely retained as a prototype to test aesthetics and function, so that when the final teeth were made (after 6 months), any necessary changes to the colour, shape, or bite could be made. “ “I couldn’t believe that I had walked in with dentures and crowns and walked out with a full set of secure teeth- all in a single day. And the whole surgical experience was absolutely fine, it wasn’t traumatic in any way. Also, I wasn’t expecting the temporary teeth to look so amazing! They were great.” “Now, I have the permanent teeth in which are perfect. Steve, the gentleman at Dental Confidence that adjusted my permanent teeth, wanted to get them just right. He made all the adjustments to ensure I was 100% happy. Now they look and feel completely natural. I can’t explain how thrilled I am with them.” “I look back at old photos of myself, and I’m either not smiling or have my hand in front of my face, hiding my mouth. Now, I can’t stop smiling!” “I am 110% happy, and I’d recommend Dr Sanders and his wonderful team to anyone considering dental implant treatment. Dental Confidence have put a smile back on my face.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/188be5c4-90fc-497a-bb86-f45d873e8a41/Lynda.jpg Patient Stories - Lynda - Patient Story - Meet Lynda Saw Throughout her life, Lynda had lost many of her teeth, leaving her with partial dentures in her upper mouth, and eight crowns. She had always hoped to have dental implants but had been told that the procedure simply wasn’t possible. “After having an abscess many years ago, my jawbone became diseased,” said Lynda, “This meant I was left with very little bone. I really wanted to have dental implants, but I was told by several dentists that it couldn’t be done.” It was after Lynda’s husband had dental implant treatment, that she visited his dentist, who examined her. He explained that it was possible, but the lack of bone meant the procedure would be complicated. Dr Peter Sanders was a dentist he regularly referred complex procedures to, and so he arranged for Lynda to visit Dental Confidence. “Dr Sanders was great from the start, and immediately explained that, although it might be tricky, it could definitely be done. I was prepared to receive disappointing news but was thrilled to find out it was possible!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/d696664e-8414-43d9-807d-3e37ba208e2d/Dental+Confidence+retouches+-03.jpg Patient Stories - Lynda - Patient Story - Living with dentures and failing crowns “I am someone who cannot cope with having dentures. I hate the feeling of having something foreign in my mouth and the crowns I had caused my gums to recede.” Adds Lynda. “Overall, I was very unhappy with how my teeth felt and looked. My crowns had been replaced twice, and now they were at the stage where there was little tooth left to work with, so finding Peter was a blessing! I discovered that it wasn’t that I couldn’t have implants- it was simply that I hadn’t found the right dentist.” https://www.drpetersanders.com/patient-stories/luke monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/c90940fb-aeb7-44da-927c-082f3fd7e45b/Luke_Pic.jpg Patient Stories - Luke - Patient Report - At the age of 22, Luke Hutchings attended an NHS dental appointment for the removal of his wisdom teeth. Due to complications during surgery the dentist removed eight upper-back teeth whilst Luke was under general anaesthetic. When Luke awoke, he was shocked to find that he was missing many teeth, and consequently, he would need to wear dentures. The experience had been very traumatising, and as a result, Luke lost faith in dental care. “That experience put me off going to the dentist for anything, even a checkup.” said Luke. “It had completely ruined my confidence.” As a result, Luke gradually experienced further tooth loss. It wasn’t until nearly a decade later that Luke visited an NHS dentist with an abscess in a front tooth. The tooth had to be removed, but Luke was very anxious about surgery following his previous experience. “I definitely didn’t want to go to an NHS dentist for more surgery and decided to go private. Plus, I’m only 32, and so I didn’t want to wear dentures anymore, certainly not at the front. I had begun to consider dental implants.” After searching for the best dental implant dentist, Luke discovered Dental Confidence and decided to visit Dr Peter Sanders for a consultation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/6d590e8d-c9fe-4d0c-a0e6-1776b1a96138/Teeth.jpg Patient Stories - Luke - Patient Report - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/a941a69f-f651-449d-b42c-6ec9ad3f9669/Implants2.jpg Patient Stories - Luke - Patient Report - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f7b032b6c080a28000f64/928a9df0-f27a-4eb1-ab17-efbba832d8a1/Implant.jpg Patient Stories - Luke - Patient Report - Life After Implants After having dental implants placed, Luke immediately saw positive changes: “Going to Dental Confidence has been the best thing I’ve ever done. My confidence has rocketed, and I feel my normal self again. Also- I can taste food! Wearing dentures has meant that for 10 years, the roof of my mouth was covered, which affected my taste. Now I taste everything.” “Dental Confidence are top of their game in every area. Since my experience with them, I’ve recommended them to my family, and now my girlfriend goes for general dentistry, and my dad is about to have implants with Dr Sanders.” “When it comes to dentistry, I only trust Dental Confidence. Dr Sanders has helped me to regain my confidence in dental care.” https://www.drpetersanders.com/home daily 1.0 2025-10-07
