5/5 stacy M. 1 year ago on Google
I'm
a
39
year
old
female,
who
hadn't
been
to
the
dentist
for
over
30
years
due
to
a
severe
dental
phobia.
My
teeth
were
in
the
worse
state
imaginable,
I
was
completely
ashamed
of
the
way
I
looked,
and
it
had
such
a
negative
impact
on
my
life,
my
teeth
basically
made
me
feel
worthless.
I
decided
I
wanted
to
finally
try
do
something
about
it,
and
was
fixated
on
finding
a
dentist
that
could
offer
General
anaesthetic
for
full
upper
and
lower
extractions
with
immediate
dentures.
The
thought
of
being
awake,
to
have
so
much
work
done
was
absolutely
horrifying
to
me,
I
honestly
never
imagined
I'd
be
able
to
do
it.
It
was
recommended
that
I
contact
Dr
Mike
Gow,
as
he
specialised
in
patients
with
dental
Anxiety.
Mike
got
me
in
the
following
week
for
a
lengthy
chat.
His
relaxed
demeanour
instantly
put
me
at
ease,
everything
was
super
chill,
and
we
discussed
everything
in
great
detail.
My
concerns
were
that
the
sedation
wouldn't
work
on
me,
and
Mike
explained
that
there's
no
way
he
would
carry
on
with
the
work
of
he
thought
I
wasn't
sedated
enough.
In
short,
I
left
that
day
feeling
like
I
was
in
safe
hands,
and
that
I
could
trust
what
Mike
was
telling
me.
Less
than
6
weeks
after
first
attending
the
clinic,
I've
been
in
and
had
my
uppers
done.
Mike
pulled
out
all
the
stops
to
get
me
in
ASAP
before
I
went
on
holiday.
I
remember
very
little
about
the
whole
procedure,
and
what
I
do
remember
is
really
silly
stuff
lol.
I
felt
zero
pain
whatsoever,
not
even
the
injections,
and
2
hours
felt
like
10
mins!
Any
issues
I've
had
in
the
past
week,
Mike
has
got
me
in
straight
away
and
helped
put
my
mind
at
ease,
which
has
been
greatly
appreciated
as
I'm
a
bit
of
an
overthinker,
and
stress
my
self
out
a
little.
The
way
I
looked
before
compared
to
now
is
unreal.
They
aren't
perfect,
and
won't
be
for
another
few
months,
but
the
improvement
in
the
way
I
look
honestly
means
so
much
to
me
ā¤ļø
and
I
would
never
of
had
the
courage
to
do
it
if
it
hadn't
been
for
Mike
doing
what
he
does.
The
guy
is
genuinely
one
in
a
million,
and
I
can't
recommend
him
enough
for
anyone
with
a
fear
of
the
dentist.
Also,
all
the
nurses
and
reception
staff
have
been
lovely
too,
nothing
negative
to
say
at
all.
š
I'm
only
half
way
done,
and
this
is
a
huge
review,
but
at
such
an
epic
moment
in
my
life,
its
needed
lol.
Thank
you
so
much
ā¤ļø
