I've had extensive dental treatment in the past (whilst living overseas), so finding a suitable replacement dentist back home was always going to be a challenge, or so I thought until I found Dr Loy Correa and his amazing team at Caring 4 Smiles. Earlier this year I was given a treatment plan to maintain my existing dental work (replacement composite fillings, crowns etc), however I decided to put this on hold, thinking my oral health could wait a bit. Then sadly last month, one of my temporary filings (over a root canal) cracked and an abscess formed. An emergency dental appointment was arranged, yet the two antibiotics that Loy prescribed didn't work and I was left feeling really unwell. Loy was available via phone after hours and he assured me the body sensations I was experiencing (nausea, chills / trembling and bowel issues) were as a result of one of the antibiotics. He advised me to take probiotics and electrolytes to ease my symptoms, which worked. Thelma then arranged for a follow-up appointment. I felt very teary and anxious going into the appointment and Loy was calming and reassuring. He explained the process of what was going to happen (tooth extraction and bone grafting) and even allowed me to sit up after each injection (I had two), so I could manage the heart palpations. The whole process took just over one hour and it was painless. When Lynette phoned me back the next day, I was able to report the new antibiotics had started to work and that I felt like my old self again. I'm now on the road to recovery and have absolute confidence in Loy and his team. I agree with the other Google reviews and I just want to add, if you have a dental phobia and / or are looking for a non-judgemental holistic dentist, then Caring 4 Smiles will really look after you. I'm so grateful to have found them and will be a walking advertisement to friends and family. Caring 4 Smiles, you guys rock! :-) x
