We are thrilled to inform you that our Clinic has been recognised with the WhatClinic Patient Service Award 2023, our annual award based on patient ratings and reviews performance, from the worldwide healthcare search engine WhatClinic.

In 2023, over 8 million people visited WhatClinic’s search directory to find and compare clinics for treatments. Your Perfect Smile Dental & Implant Clinic is one of a few hundred clinics listed on the website that met the highest standards qualifying for the award.

“Thanks to your team’s commitment and dedication, Your Perfect Smile Dental & Implant Clinic holds a consistently high ServiceScore™, which measures the clinic’s commitment and performance to patient care throughout the whole year. This Award represents our emphasis on creating positive patient experiences throughout the entire journey”.

Dr Simon Milbauer stated:

“We are amazed to be recognised for our commitment to customer service. As a practice, we focus on everything we do and to receive such positive feedback from our patients is an amazing feeling….”

David Roe, WhatClinic’s CEO, congratulated Your Perfect Smile Dental & Implant and commented on the Award:

“The Patient Service Awards have now run for 13 years. For 2023, we have considered thousands of data points, including ratings based on communication between patients and clinics, clinic’s promptness, politeness, helpfulness, customer service over the phone, email, online and in-person, as well as patient reviews, feedback, and more.

Ratings are helpful to both patients and clinics. Patients can see which clinics have been rated well by other users, and clinics can evaluate their own performance against others in their market and be motivated to improve their patient services, which is ultimately good for everybody.”

Ban on amalgam, mercury fillings from 2025 !

The recent decision by the European Parliament to ban dental amalgam from January 1, 2025, marks a significant shift in dental practices, especially in the UK. Dental amalgam, commonly used for NHS permanent fillings, has been a mainstay in dentistry for over 150 years due to its durability and effectiveness. However, this decision to phase out its use raises important discussions about the negatives of amalgam fillings.

Negatives of Amalgam Fillings

  1. Mercury Content: Dental amalgam is a metal mixture containing liquid mercury, along with a combination of powdered silver, copper, and tin. The presence of mercury has long raised health and environmental concerns. Over time, the mercury in amalgam can release vapours, potentially leading to mercury poisoning with symptoms like headaches, anxiety, and digestive issues.
  2. Environmental Impact: Mercury is a global pollutant and a severe neurotoxin, which can cause significant environmental harm. The phase-out of amalgam is part of broader efforts to reduce mercury use globally.
  3. Aesthetic Concerns: Amalgam fillings are silver and can be more noticeable than tooth-coloured alternatives. This can be a cosmetic concern for patients who prefer fillings that blend in with the natural color of their teeth.
  4. Longevity vs. Alternatives: While amalgam is known for its durability, alternative restorative materials that are more aesthetically pleasing and do not contain mercury are now available. However, these alternatives may not always match amalgam in terms of the speed of placement or longevity, posing a challenge for dental practices.

New Year, New Smile: Teeth Resolutions for a Healthy 2024

As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one with open arms, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our habits and set some resolutions for self-improvement. While we often focus on fitness and personal growth, it’s equally important to consider our dental health in the mix. After all, a healthy smile can boost confidence and overall well-being. So, let’s make some teeth resolutions for a sparkling, healthy smile in 2024!

Resolution 1: Brush and Floss Like a Pro

Commit to brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily. Brushing removes surface plaque and food particles, while flossing gets between tight spaces where bacteria can hide. Consider upgrading to an electric toothbrush for a more thorough cleaning.

Resolution 2: Upgrade Your Toothbrush

Speaking of toothbrushes, make it a resolution to change your toothbrush or toothbrush head every three months or as soon as the bristles start to fray. A fresh toothbrush is more effective at cleaning your teeth.

Resolution 3: Watch Your Diet

Cut back on sugary snacks and beverages. Opt for tooth-friendly foods like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Drinking water throughout the day also helps rinse away harmful acids and bacteria.

Resolution 4: Visit Your Dentist Regularly

Schedule those dental check-ups! Regular visits to Your Perfect Smile Dental & Implant Clinic ensure that any potential issues are caught early and treated promptly. It’s an investment in your oral health.

Resolution 5: Break Bad Habits

Quit smoking and limit your alcohol consumption. These habits can stain your teeth and lead to oral health problems. Make this year the year you kick those habits to the curb.

Resolution 6: Protect Your Teeth

If you play sports, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your teeth from potential injuries. And if you grind your teeth at night, talk to your dentist about a custom nightguard to prevent damage.

Resolution 7: Smile More!

Finally, make it a resolution to smile more often. A confident smile not only brightens your day but also the days of those around you. Show off those pearly whites proudly!

Remember, these teeth resolutions are small changes that can lead to significant improvements in your oral health and overall well-being. Your Perfect Smile Dental & Implant Clinic is here to support you on your journey to a healthier smile. Let’s make 2024 the year of the brightest, healthiest smiles ever! Cheers to a fantastic year ahead!

What’s new at Your Perfect Smile Dental Clinic

Hello Everyone

It has been a while since we posted anything but as you all know life is busy and we have been extremely busy here at Your Perfect Smile Dental Clinic.

Back in April we invited to out Team Suzie. So next few months were very busy helping her out to learn new skills and fit well into a team. In June she has completed her Dental Nurse Induction training at Inverness Health Centre and is now waiting for her SVQ in Dental Nursing to start in a next few months. In the meantime she is learning lots of new things “in house” and most of you have seen her in action already.

Beginning of the year have seen us all getting ready for new GDPR regulation coming live in May. To ensure your details are safe and safely stored we have tighten our security protocols and got additional training to make sure we follow the most up to date advice.  So please bear with us asking extra question when you make appointment over the phone as we need to be able to confirm your identity. For the same reason our emails might come across a bit plain as we will try to answer your questions or notify you about something without being too specific. However when you are in for your appointment we can do in as much details as you wish.

 

April was a busy month with education. Dr Simon Milbauer attended ITI UK & Ireland Dental Implant Conference in London to make sure that all of you have access to the same dental implant treatment as Londoners .  However Dr Agnieszka did not stay behind and in May jetted off to London to work on creative makeover skills. We have already seen the skills coming int life with amazing results. Just look at our dental nurse Alex’s teeth. She loves them .

But that’s not all as next we were off to Birmingham  Dental Conference to bring even more ideas to the Clinic.

One of the novelties we brought back was 6 different flavours of toothpaste:

  • Grapefruit & bergamot
  • peach & apricot
  • watermelon
  • gin tonic &persimmon
  • blackberry & liquorice
  • apple & aloe 2018--BE-YOU Your Perfect Smile Dental Clinic

We also introduced new apple flavour toothpaste for kids who really struggle with mint in their toothpaste.
