"I felt in capable and efficient hands."

About: Glasgow Dental Hospital and School / Dental

(as a service user),

In Nov. 22  I experienced a dreadful fall resulting in a dental trauma having broken my front teeth. Following a month of treatment from my dentist, I was referred to Glasgow Dental Hospital and was seen by Mrs Burns, Consultant. 

My teeth were fractured across the roots. I was worried as I thought they may be extracted.
I would like to thank Mrs Burns and say how much I appreciate the incredible work she and her team carried out for me in restoring and saving my front teeth.  From referral to the final appointment, being in her care and clinic gave me confidence that the best possible outcome from this trauma would be achieved, it at all possible. I felt in capable and efficient hands. 
The treatment spanned 6 months, with work being carried out over specified time-spans. 
The result is excellent, better than I ever anticipated and they look good too.
Thank you so much Mrs Burns, I'm very grateful to you and your team.

Dear Harbp47,

I am very sorry to hear about your fall. A trauma of this type with fracture to the teeth can cause considerable distress for patients, this must have been very upsetting for you.

Dr Burns will be very happy to hear that you are so pleased with the results of your treatment. Advances in Restorative Dentistry have allowed many teeth that may have seemed unrestorable to be saved, with excellent aesthetics and function re-established.

Six months of treatment is quite an undertaking and we appreciate you taking time to tell us and others about your care experience at Glasgow Dental Hospital.

I will certainly pass on your very kind comments directly to Dr Burns and the Restorative team.

Very best wishes,

Fiona
