“The team were helpful, knowledgeable and professional”.
I’m from England and work as a Safety Advisor in the Oil and gas industry based in Qatar.
Dental tourism in India
I’d suffered from poor teeth due to sugary drinks and not really taking care of my teeth as a young man. I’d researched dental restoration both in the UK and Qatar and found it too expensive by comparison using bone grafts and sinus lifts. I was slightly fearful of the dentist but not quite a full-on phobia. I found Dr. Motiwala online and was impressed by the permanent teeth in 3 days technique he used and the testimonials of previous patients gave me confidence to travel to Hyderabad for my treatment.
I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it but the procedures were minimally painful, only really the initial injection for the local anesthetic, after that it was only mild sensitivity while I had the temporary teeth in while my permanent teeth were constructed. The treatment I had was extractions followed by a full arch zirconia bridge on multiple implants in the upper jaw and a combination of crowns and bridges in the lower jaw.
The team were helpful, knowledgeable and professional from the receptionist through to Dr. Motiwala himself. Each step of the treatment was clearly explained. Once the first fit was done Dr. Motiwala was there to ensure I was happy with the look and feel of the new bridge (full arch zirconia implant bridge) and I was able to make changes to suit my preference. I have seen numerous people with “Turkey teef” and I definitely didn’t want unnatural looking teeth. I’d looked at treatment in the UK, Turkey and Thailand but found it to be prohibitively expensive or the clinics didn’t inspire confidence in the techniques of using bone grafts and sinus lifts.
After completion of the treatment, I am so happy with the result, for years I’ve avoided smiling in photographs due to feeling self-conscious and avoided opening my mouth fully due to embarrassment at the condition of my natural teeth. I’ve had to avoid certain foods and in the final months before treatment I was reduced to slicing apples in order to eat them.
The treatment I’ve received has honestly made me feel so much happier in myself and I’m looking forward to making this as the start of a new lifestyle, healthier and happier with a smile on my face that I’m proud to show.
