Invisalign gets A Celebrity endorsement

At the practice we have known for a while how beneficial a healthy confident smile is to peoples overall happiness, and the introduction of Invisalign treatment just under 2 years ago has made this smile easier to achieve.

As Cheryl Cole goes public with her treatment we are seeing an upsurge in requests for this outstanding technology.

This also coincide with Richard becoming the first Invisalign Gold Doctor in Northumberland and only the second in the North East. This accreditation is a reflection on the number of cases carried out and the further training he has completed.

 

Recent courses include and advanced Invisalign user course in London and the European Aesthetic Dental Conference in Paris.

Sports Day with Wessington Way Dental Practice

It was hughly enjoyable to compete with Wessington Way Dental Practice for the title of Dental Olympians 2009.

After a tour of our practice and a short introduction to Invisalign treatment for the visitors we launched into the afternoon

A great contest and wonderful team building day was won by Wessington Way by the tightest of margins, even tighter then MBA’s shorts.

Thanks to everyone who took part and well done Shaun Charters from Bodymechanix Gym in Morpeth for organising the event.

Our image and improvements for our patients

Josie and Richard have been working hard at the pracitce with the team to further enhance the experience of visiting Guidepost Dental Practice.

A new layout in the patient lounge, candles in the lounge, and improved practice branding help make it easier to find us on your first visit and more comfortable to enjoy our lounge, with complimentary apples.

Come and have a look your self the pictures don’t do it full credit.

A week to remember and to forget

The end of a challenging week and as i sit here pondering where is the IT guy to fix our PC’s i will ponder the week.

Issues this week:

IT, our server is playing up for the 1st time and the problem has been a pain to sort. Richard Patterson from www.helpquick.co.uk has worked hard to find the problem and will be here tonight to install a replacement tower.

PCT a meeting with the PCT always brings challenges and issues

Coping with absent staff. Illness and a close family bereavement have left the practice short for 2 days this week. Again the team have risen to the challenge superbly and just like the weather this run of misfortune is sure to change. Josie and I wish C and her family all the best.

The weather “rain rain go away” is a theme for today

Rewarding experiences:

Josie’s returning implant patient so amazed and happy with her new tooth

Richards invisalign patients seeing clinchecks for the 1st time and seeing a new smile developing

A visit form a great friend and respected counsel Mr Alex Jones

Smilestrips arriving and being used by 10 patients

I know the good out ways the bad and am grateful to the wonderful team around the practice who help solve problems, improve systems and make me smile

THANKS AGAIN GUYS AND GALS

Smile Strips

Beautiful simple packaging for simple product to help make us all more beautiful

Well they have finally arrived and we will be able to start sales on Monday afternoon.

What do we think?

So far Richard, Josie and Chris have tried the strips,

Pluses

First off After 3 days of 30mins they certainly make a difference

30 minutes is a great benefit as Richard and Josie can wear on their way to work

the taste is better than Opalesence Gel

You can wear them and talk normally

For £45 they are exceptional value

Negatives.

Placing the strips for the first time is a bit fiddly but no more than using whitening gel for the first time.

Have a look at the main website and what the video by strip 3 it really is this easy.

After the presentation we visited the 10 years younger exhibit with Dr Surinder Hundle (10 years younger dentist), Chris Barrow super coach, James Goolnik and great friend and dentist Alex Jones .

 

 

Dr Surinder Hundle,James Goolnik, Alex Jones, Chris Barrow, Richard Fretwell

I was impressed with the size and quality of the stalls. very humbling seeing the scope of the best practices and best cosmetic treatments (both surgical and non-surgical).

A day trip to London with a 5am start was well worth it for me and our practice and most importantly our patients. Alex an I put the world to rights for 3 hours and I am sure as these ideas are integrated into the practice we will all see the benefit.

 

 

New Dental Advances

Tomorrow is early start for Richard he is proud to have been invited to be at the launch of a brand new dental product.

5am start for the trip down but all in the hope of further improving the care and treatment of our patients.

Check tomorrow for more information

Sometimes you Learn from difficulties (Thank you all)

This has been a popular dental topic this week, our great friend Alex Jones posted a similar topic earlier this week.

We have had 2 wonderful weeks at the practice despite a range of problems and complications.

We are coping without one of our star reception team Tracy has been very poorly for the last 2 week.

It is holiday season so Holly Richards nurse has been away in her caravan!!

Add in Nicola’s Holiday and a bereavement and Richards popular analogy about being swans (looking sereane but legs kicking like mad underneath)has been turned on its head as he put it “sometimes our heads have been underwater and our a**** in the air”

However our continued working to systems and employing Lisa’s famous common sense by all has meant 15 new patients to the practice have been happy to visit us and also recommend us to 6 more people next week.

Josie and Richard would like to say a big thank you to all the team and ALL OUR PATIENTS.
