"Since my husband is himself a local dentist who had previously referred patients to Simon, we knew of his reputation in the field of Implantology and we were both confident that his work would be of a very high standard. I therefore approached the prospect of treatment with Simon without undue concern even though my case was somewhat complicated by the fact that I first needed significant bone grafting on both sides of my mouth before I was suitable to undergo the actual treatment with implants. Simon carried out both the bone grafting and the fitting of the implants with just local anaesthetic and without undue fuss. My new teeth have now been fitted and they look and feel great. It was such a treat not to have to wear a horrible denture any more!" Dear Simon, I would like to thank you for my lovely new [top] teeth. Everyone admires my new “Hollywood Smile”. I really did enjoy every minute of the process (yes – honestly!) and we will miss our trips to Hurworth to see you all. To anyone thinking of embarking on “New Teeth” I would say Don't Hesitate, but remember only the best will do. Simon, Karen and Receptionists are such lovely people and are so helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them and every stage of the process is explained fully as you progress. I found it all absolutely fascinating. It was about ten months from beginning to teeth being fitted and the time really flew by. I felt quite at home in Simon's chair, and the most important thing was feeling safe and knowing I was in very experienced and skilled hands. My new teeth look very natural yet perfect, and they now feel like my very own teeth. Temporary dentures were very good fit and wearable only because they were temporary! Nothing compares to finished implants. I can now laugh without fear of dentures flying out! Knowing what to expect, I can now look forward to having bottom set done without any worries at all. - Margaret (Thornaby). “When my son - who is a dentist – informed me that an upper front tooth could not be saved as the root had split, I was somewhat unhappy. I knew that I could not stand a partial denture, as I had tried one some years ago and I could not get used to it. [My son] said that the only remaining option was an implant.. I was referred to Dr Allum and he gave me a thorough examination to confirm that I had a suitable bone structure and he gave me a detailed explanation of the procedure. I was a trifle apprehensive at trying something new, but I need not have worried. I actually flew on holiday the day after receiving the implant – and I immediately forgot all about it. After an interval for the implant to “bed-in” I was fitted with my new tooth. I am delighted that I decided to go for an implant and would recommend this to anyone with a similar problem”. “The tooth is great …no pain, no discomfort…….enjoying being able to bite properly and smiling like an inane gorilla!!!!” “ would like to say how very pleased I am with the finished result of my implant treatment. As the four “new teeth” are in the front of my mouth, size, shape, colour and positioning was always going to be so important to me and I feel all of these requirements have been met wit excellent results. A very big “Thank You” for your patience, thorough explanation and expertise during the complete treatment. I am delighted, my family and friends are amazed at the “natural” look that has been achieved.” A further selection of edited comments …. “…I am over the moon with the outcome, not only the look of it, but that I can use it as normal for the first time in 15+ years.” - John (N.
