I have always had great teeth, until the past 5 years or so, when the dentists started to say I had gum disease. To be honest I didn't really believe them. Until I started getting gum infections, and I was told I would have to go to a periodontist and would need gum surgery. When I researched what that involved, the number of visits, the invasive surgery, high costs and multiple visits I went looking for something else. I found out there was such a thing as laser surgery and found that Laser LifeCARE Institute was the best place to go. So, I booked in for a consultation. Dr Hisham made everything so clear to me, with his explanations and his hi-tech camera which showed me exactly what he was seeing I was finally able to understand the extent of the issue I had. My teeth were getting loose, and I had multiple gum infections, which were causing bone loss. My whole body was under stress from the infections, which returned after 2 separate courses of antibiotics, which I hate taking. I felt generally run down and unwell. I can't stress how helpful it was to see on the screen what my gums were like. The day of my treatment I was treated like a guest at a hotel more than a patient. I was sedated and it felt like a day of rest. Immediately after the laser work my infections were gone, and over the past 3 months my gums have become pink and healthy, and my teeth are no longer loose. The gaps in my teeth seem to be closing up and I have nice teeth again. Yesterday I had a follow up consultation and hygienist treatment and even that treatment is unlike any other I have had, very modern. Dr Hisham is an inspiration, he has a fun and warm personality and extremely talented and inspirational. He is passionate about what he does, and cares so much about his patients. I have spoken to a few friends who also have gum disease and are confused and scared about what is happening to their teeth and I recommend Dr Hisham and his amazing team to everyone. If you have been told that gum surgery is your only option you should go and see Dr Hisham, you could save yourself a lot of pain and money by getting laser gum surgery instead of having your gums cut and bone replaced, which I've heard often doesn't even work. I could go on and on, about how happy I am but my review is already too long!
