Yesterday I had the opportunity to see 5 patients who we had treated earlier in the year with the laser for periodontal disease. All of them came a few months ago fearing that they would lose teeth and all struggling with the things they couldn’t eat because of the looseness of their teeth. All of them were now significantly improved with healthy mouths, able to eat what they wanted and with a totally different long term expectation. Talk about job satisfaction! It is a huge privilege to do this job and to serve our patients and the community in this way, so at the end of 2024 we just want to say thank you for giving us that opportunity.
Over the last year at Ferring Dental Practice we have had over 7500 appointments. Some quick checks to reassure, some long sedation sessions or full smile makeovers. We have greeted and cared for and heard stories of past experiences, good and bad, shared in good news and sad news and I hope along the way changed the perception of what it is to come to the dentist. Sometimes the reception area is full of chat and sometimes just a quiet place away from the busyness of people’s days. We now have over 2500 subscription members across the 2 practices all of whom can come and see us when they need. No problem.
It was lovely to open our doors again for the open day in September to allow people to come and see the practice and the further developments we have made. A chance to chat to people about their concerns and answer questions about how exceptional modern dentistry could help them..
One of my goals when I bought and invested in Ferring Dental Practice was to create a place that the community could be proud of. This is a lovely village with much to be proud of and I wanted people to be able to say: “We may be small, but we have one of the best dental practices in the country”. Only you can be the judge of that, but our good reputation goes far and wide and we want to thank our patients for being part of that.
With every good wish for Christmas and 2025.
