There are not many words I can actually type in order to say how pleased, satisfied and my appreciation to ALL members of staff, at St Pauls Square Dental Practice – other than I’ve had a great experience from day one, that being just over 4 weeks ago! Once again, congrats to ALL, and many thanks for my NEW SMILE.

Now that my treatment is completed I am writing to tell you how wonderful my teeth are and how confident I feel with their appearance. For years I had put off and put off grasping the nettle and getting my teeth dealt with; the longer I put it off the harder it was, until one day when someone was really blunt if not plain rude and I realised just how awful I had allowed the situation to become.

Until yourself, and the rest of your really kind and helpful team helped, months later (and admittedly a few £s lighter) I have 8 implants half a dozen or so veneers and an attractive set of teeth that I can tackle the world with!

I enjoy eating crunchy apples and smiling openly and spontaneously once again without fear or embarrassment.

I’m really grateful to you for your kind professional attention. I’m sure that your strict attention to hygiene during the implant procedures ensured that despite the extensive workI had no infections at any stage.

I know that I could have gone to Eastern Europe for a cheaper job but I am just so glad that I didn’t, your attention to detail, and support and encouragement throughout has been invaluable.

My teeth are now widely admired and I cant help noticing how many people there are out there who need your help.

Kind regards, Mike

I would just like to say that I was and I am so happy with the result of my dental work with you. From the moment of being introduced to your base and you team I felt comfortable. You have a wonderful team all down to earth and empathetic individuals. They were very comforting to me at all times, there people include the secretaries, the hygienist, the nurses and yourself of course. I was so afraid of injections prior to coming to your team and now after having however many injections I boast to others that I am someone who can take on a dental injection anytime. In fact you and I both know that the reason I am able to say that is because I felt such minimal pain when I remember running away from the doctors surgery when it was time for my tetanus jab!

I cannot believe how much confidence I gained after having my dental work, for me it was so important because my big wedding day was approaching. You can see it in the pictures I had a hard job trying to stop smiling and I am often wandering what would have happened if i had not had the dental work. “Would I have smiled on my wedding day?” I was so happy with the result it gave me a whole new approach to how I communicated with people. Before I was very conscious of my teeth now its something I almost show off about. I am so happy with it all.

For me what topped it off was seeing my teeth in the wedding pictures, I can sit there and look at myself and I feel great. You guys really are a good team and every step of the way I fely assured because it is a scary business. I think you know when you are ready to have this kind of work done but it always helps having the professionals talk through their own experiences, and understand that it is a hard decission to make.

I never felt pushed or backed into a corner, my thoughts about what I wanted were always valued and that’s what really counts.

Dinesh you’re an excellent dentist and I would recommend you and your team to all about to be brides any day. I am even considering looking into a career in the beauty world and I have been approached for bridal modelling….who would have thought hey!!

Thanks again guys for everything, Shaz

Birmingham dentist Dr Dinesh Vegad

pioneers use of 3D tooth scanner

Aug 26 2009 by Alison Dayani, Birmingham Post

Birmingham patients are getting a taste of the future after a city dental practice became the first in the country to use an advanced 3D tooth scanner.

Dr Dinesh Vegad bought the £140,000 equipment from Scandanavia and is now using it on patients at his own private St Paul’s Square Dental Practice, in the Jewellery Quarter, along with referrals from other dentists in the region.

After taking a CT scan, a 3D image is displayed on a computer screen, enabling Dr Vegad’s team to zoom into specific areas of the jaw from various angles and even see wisdom teeth, nerves and root canals as never before, to the nearest 0.1 of a millimetre.

It is set to save patients time and money as dentists will no longer need to use appointments to dig down into a tooth to explore problems before starting work.

“In ten years’ time, I think a lot of dentists will use a scanner like this,” said Dr Vegad, who has been a dentist for more than 25 years.

“An X-ray which is two dimensional can be misleading because you do not have any depth of field, but with this scanner, the mouth has no more hidden mysteries.

“Tumours are more easily identifiable, the radiation levels are much lower than normal and it enables dentists to see exactly where an implant needs to be, reducing the risk of complications like a numb lip or tongue.

“Seeing these sorts of advances is amazing. Being able to measure a nerve or gap from different angles and to the exact millimetre is something dentists couldn’t have imagined years ago.”

The scanner also shows up damage done by below-par dentists, something Dr Vegad says he has had to deal with lately after seeing patients who went to eastern Europe for treatment to save cash but ended up being left out of pocket to address further problems.

“One man had been to Hungary for a reconstruction of the teeth in his lower jaw but came to see me when he developed toothache and suspected the treatment had gone badly wrong,” added Dr Vegad.

“The scanner showed abscesses inside newly capped teeth and very little bone left holding his teeth in place. He ended up having to spend much more on getting his teeth corrected.

“If a British dentist did work like that, there is a regulatory body that could reprimand a dentist or strike them off, but if you go abroad, there is nothing like that.”

The scan takes minutes to complete as it revolves 360 degrees around a patient’s head. Images on the computer screen can then be saved on discs.

Dr Vegad went to Helsinki, in Finland, which is at the forefront of dental treatment and equipment, to test out the futuristic technology before shipping it to Birmingham.
