Testimonial

February 5th, 2010

Just wanted to say a big big thankyou to Dr Hassan for my new smile.  Not even my closest friends realised I was wearing a brace when I began treatment with Clearstep.  I have been amazed every step of the way how discreet and comfortable the brace was to wear and as my teeth began to move I was very excited at the results.  Dr Hassan was almost as enthusiastic as me and instilled confidence at every stage.  He explained every proceedure along the way and I felt very reassured from day one. My thanks to Dr Hassan and Natalie I now can’t stop smiling!

First Time Varifocals!

February 4th, 2010

When i was told i would needed varifocals for the  first time i was very apprehensive after having heard all the bad experiences that my friends and family had encounted. I sat down with the optical team and they very patiently went through all the advantages of the lenses and how they would work . Eventually we found a varifocal to suit my active lifestyle.

The team explained to me how i would feel in the first few days of wearing my new lenses and the strange experiences i would encounter; this included  the constant head movement  to find my focus  and simple things such as walking down stairs would seem a little strange. I was reassured that this was perfectly normal and what every first time varifocal wearer experienced in the beginning.

Now 3 Weeks into wearing my new varifocals i have no regrets and i am happy with my choice to give varifocals a try. I would like to thank the whole team who made my experience at Pollards througholy enjoyable and for their help and advise.

Varifocals of the future

February 3rd, 2010

Here at Pollards we can now offer a new ground breaking varifocal lens. For the very first time, each lens is calculated according to your eye and retina’s specific anatomy. The varifocal lens know as Anateo has 99% adaptation rate making it the most adaptable varifocal lens ever!. The key benefits of the Anateo lens are wider fields of vision, 30% less edge distortion and total freedom regarding frame choice meaning you can now finally have varifocal lenses in small narrow frames without compromising on your vision.

Comprehensive Functional Cosmetic Dentistry

    Why have this?

 

 

 

 

When you can have this.

 

 

 

This patient first came to us with sever pain from her lower molar. The tooth had previously been heavily restored with a large mercury silver filling. The tooth required endodontic treatment which also contributed to further weakening of the tooth.

Traditionally full coverage crowns are used to help reinforce badly damaged teeth. The above picture illustrates what a typical gold crown looks like. As part of the preperation for the full gold crown more tooth tissue needs to be removed further weakening the tooth. With the use of an all ceramic onlay it is possible to restore the tooth full function whilst improving the appearnace and strengthening the tooth structure.

Suffering From Chronic Headaches???

January 15th, 2010

Almost 90% of all headaches are considered “primary headaches” which are frequently caused by TMJ disorder. This is caused by an imbalance in the relationship of the jaw to the skull. The TMJ joint allows the jaw to open, close and move to the side and forward. It plays an important role in jaw functions such as talking, chewing and yawning.

Symptoms of TMJ disorder may include:

  • limited jaw movement
  • difficulty in opening the mouth
  • a stuck or ‘locked’ jaw
  • clicking, grating or popping noises from the jaw joints
  • pain when chewing, yawning or opening the jaw widely
  • pain in or around the ears and cheeks
  • headaches, and occasionally, migraine-like headaches and nausea

 

 Dr Hassan has spent a year at the Dawson’s Acadcemy and has undergone extensive training to treat these problems and help relieve people from unecessary discomfort. If you feel you are suffereing with TMJ disorder and would like to see Dr Hassan to discuss your treatment options then call the practice  on 01924 373697 and make your first appointment.

OCT Already Proving A Great Success!

January 14th, 2010

Although we have only had the new equipment a matter of weeks, we have been inundated with patients booking in for their 3D Scans.

An OCT Scan being carried out.

Mrs Hassan has already seen several patients where the eye looks healthy with a standard eye test, but when she has looked in more detail using the OCT equipment, problems have been detected at an early & treatable stage.

Once we have taken the scan we can then look at cross sections of each individual layer in more detail, here we can not only dectect eye conditions but also other critical illnesses before others.

If you would like make your OCT appointment you can call the practice on 01924 373697 and a member of our team will be happy to book you in and supply more information if needed!
