Affordable private dentistry: Janice's Journey to Bamboo

Bamboo Blog

Affordable private dentistry in Cardiff

20160202_081848

Its 10am on a Tuesday morning. One of our newest patients, Janice from Bridgend has braved the rage of Storm Imogen to sit down with me for a coffee, a few bourbons and a chat about moving to Bamboo following a true dental nightmare. We've taken shelter inside No.28, home of our new Aesthetics clinic, where Janice begins to fill me in on her terrifying dentistry past experiences. I was just absolutely horrified. What on earth was I going to do? tells Janice as takes a sip of her coffee. Everyone knows how hard it is to find a new dentist on the NHS. Theres a waiting list everywhere. Janice decided to leave her last practice after a series of mishaps including a crown that just wouldn't stay in. Id have sleepless nights. Im a worrier. I dreaded seeing my dentist each time, wondering what I would have to have done each time, and how much it would cost me. My crown kept falling out, even when I was being careful. My dentist would say theres not much that could be done about it. That just wasn't good enough for me. I searched for affordable private dentistry in the area. I saw Bamboo in Cardiff and although it was a little further away than Id originally thought about travelling to, I noticed they did emergency appointments on weekends. Id never heard of that before! So I called up, spoke to Natalie the practice manager, who's lovely and she booked me in for a Sunday afternoon appointment. Janice explains that she felt trapped at her former practice out of fear or extortionate private prices elsewhere. I was starting to accept that I was going to have to go private. I saw online that Bamboo offered a free consultation. I had nothing to lose! So upon arrival, I explained to Dr. Dan my dental history. Dr. Dan apologised that Id been through what I had, suggesting shoddy dentistry was to blame. He told me the crown shouldn't have kept falling out, confirming my previous suspicions. Although Im not an expert in dentistry, I couldn't help but notice the care and technique he used to put it back in, I knew Id come to the right place. Its clear to see why Bamboo Dental is triple award winning. However, Janice was in for a further shock as Dr. Dan revealed his recommended course of treatment for her. I found out there was a list as far as Aberdare of things I needed done. Dan didn't pressure me. He was lovely. He told me to go home and have a think about what I wanted to do. I needed fillings, bridges and all sorts. All together it would cost over 1000. I knew going private, figures would be around those prices. But before entering the practice, I never imagined Id need all these things done! Luckily, Bamboo Dental offer affordable payment plans. Dan explained I could pay a bit each month instead of all up front. This would work much better for me as it is a lot for anyone to pay up front. On top of that, theres no interest. Bamboo's affordable private dentistry allows me to finally get to a happy place with my teeth. Dr. Dan has scheduled me in for a number of appointments over the upcoming weeks. Its such a weight off my shoulders. Its clear to see the joy and relief Janice has gotten from the affordable private dentistry that Bamboo offers. Its a pleasure to see her so happy and see the differences that Bamboo can make for anyone insecure and unhappy about their smile.
