Sunderland dentist joins the Barmy Army Ashes 2010 Perth

Sometimes in life an opportunity to do something comes your way that would be foolish to turn down....

Such an opportunity came my way this month at the end of a very stressful year and I just thought sod it ! you only live once. That opportunity was a trip to Perth in Western Australia to see the Ashes test match at the beginning of an Australian summer.as well as feeling in need of a break the UK weather was dire and a few pieces of the jig saw came together...

• Two flights to Perth were available with Emirates
• a very generous offer from a patient of a house and car to use in Perth (thank you David)
• Two match day tickets very kindly provided by Paul Collingwood , a gesture from a world class cricketer and Sunderland supporter for which I will be forever grateful
• My lovely wife Liz asked the school if my son could be cleared to come

So there we have it , a boys trip that even Carling would have difficulty putting together !
 

The flight to Australia certainly makes you realise how big this world is as we sat through twenty hours of flying (good service from Emirates I might add ).
Eight hours of time difference and thousands of miles of flying, but the journey was worth it when 90 degrees and sunshine greets you .
Perth is a beautiful, refreshingly underpopulated for a major city and with very friendly locals.

Forgive the lack of sensitivity to the UK climate as I post this picture but I couldn't help myself. Makes me wonder why I continue to live in the north east.

                                                              

This is rockingham Beach during the school summer holidays , I can only imagine what this would look like if it was Seaburn beach on a similar day in Sunderland, quiet eh ?

As for the cricket ...

What a buzz to see the WACA full on the first day , many of them Barmy Army English generating a fantastic atmosphere.

Due to the kindness of Paul Collingwood it was a privilige to have a seat in the members pavillion at the heart of Aussie cricket, great banter I might say.  Ninety degrees made the famous grassy banks of the WACA a big attraction ans so lying in the sun it was for me and my son David (Sunderland shirts on of course) .

It was  a stunning start by the Poms, sitting on the grass when Colly took Ponting with a world class catch brought the hairs up I might add. The wheels came off but it didn't spoil the spectacle of seeing two of the best teams in the world scrap it out in front of our eyes , priceless !

To round off this trip of a lifetime two of my favourite bands ever just happened to be playing in Perth whilst we were here...

Saturday and a trip to see U2 supported by JayZ on their 360 tour was a bit special , take a sneak view of it on this you tube clip               click here

Following this, on the Sunday my current favourite band Muse were in town , they were sensational !

So there we have it .... A trip that money can't buy.

This dentist can't believe how lucky he has been to be able to do this with his son, a lifetime memory.

I would just like to thank the following people for making this great trip happen for us...

• Frank Curry - for setting up the tickets with Colly for us
• Paul Collingwood for putting himself out for us (and the Ponting catch )
• David and Lorraine Carr for their enormous generosity with house and car
• The brilliant team at Olivers Dental Studio, so good ,I never think twice about leaving the Studio in their hands, means a lot.            http://www.oliverdental.com
• Liz Oliver, a Mrs supreme, for letting her lads go so close to Christmas

Lifting Spirits With Dentistry - Cosmetic Dentist Sunderland - Olivers Dental Studio

Easing pain and producing a healthy smile for our patients is what gets us dentists out of bed on a morning.

Add to that the pleasure of making a patient feel better about themselves and you have the key ingredients that explain a dentists job satisfaction.

• So how do we make patients feel better about themselves ?

Modern trends in cosmetic dentistry have opened up a world of smile correction to a wide range of patients and not just the Hollywood brigade.

Perhaps we should ask Pam, a Great Grandmother and a patient of Oliver's for over twenty years. A fan of cosmetic dentistry ?

You bet....

"I had a lot of gaps from years ago"

"Michael filled the gaps and changed my smile with porcelain five years ago"

"Its the best thing I ever did"

Pam was able to have her life long dream of a gap free smile with a combination of porcelain veneers and bridgework. Treatment involved both her upper and lower teeth.We were able to restore her teeth to a state Pam had not seen for over forty years. One particularly happy great grandma I think you will find !

Maybe we should introduce you ro Darri , a year or two younger than Pam, but with just the same frustrations with an otherwise healthy smile.

Darri was not comfortable with the uneveness of his smile, caused by spacing of front teeth that had developed a little narrower than we would have wished.

With the help of six porcelain veneers added to his front teeth, we were able to achieve a complete transformation of Darri's smile. Minimal tooth adjustment was required and we were able to limit adjustment to front teeth only so saving precious tooth tissue in posterior teeth.

Darri recently commented on Facebook  "Its the best money I've ever spent "

When you are a pretty young lady with a developing career in modelling, confidence to smile is paramount.

Meet Kimberley, who knocked on the door at Olivers Dental Studio with just those frustrations. With a previous attempt at porcelain restoration achieving a poor symmetry to her smile, Kimberley turned to Olivers for a mini smile makeover. With a combination of crowns and veneers at the front of her mouth Kimberley now has a smile to match her model looks. Self esteem restored !

I hope you are starting to understand why dentistry can be highly rewarding when we can change peoples lives like this.

If you would like to have a free smile assessment at Olivers, call us up at 0191 5282340 or send us your comments and frustrations via the web site by clicking on the link   http://www.oliverdental.com/ 

Let us show off a little more, by introducing David with his life transformational smile dentistry at Oliver's

It may be possible to keep our treatment options simple, with modern tooth whitening techniques.

A simple home whitening therapy, combined with in surgery power whitening, can produce a remarkable improvement in the quality of a smile.

Meet Steve , a local journalist, who was frustrated with a darkening of his once white teeth with the passage of time. With otherwise healthy teeth, he was happy to accept a slightly uneven smile, but was delighted with a treatment that jumped him up a remarkable ten shades.

We recommended Enlighten tm tooth whitening, a system we have had outstanding success with for many years. Steve carried out his two weeks home whitening and then returned for our deep bleaching, in surgery, power light system.

Our photographs below, untouched , reveal the remarkable change in tooth colour we were able to achieve for Steve.

We have just touched on a few of the wide selection of smile enhancement treatments available to visitors of Oliver's Dental Studio. 

We offer free smile assessment visits ,easily arranged through our smile advisory  team at 0191 5282340,  six days a week. Our dedicated smile page on our web site  click  will give you more examples of this rewarding dental care.



2010 at Olivers draws to a close - Sunderland dentist +cosmetic dentist

2010 turned out to be the most exciting year in our 25 year history for many reasons.....
From the opening of our new two floor extension in the Spring, to our recent nomination for four National dental awards in London its been a breathless year. In a difficult year for the UK and business in particular, our continued success centres on a relentless drive to improve our service to our new patients.

Extreme customer service breeds patient loyalty and so we constantly endeavour to raise our standards far beyond those of our competitors.
Examples of recent developments include.....
The launch of our very own i phone app , FREE to download at http://www.oliverdental.com  . This exciting app makes us one of a handful of dentists in the world who are able to offer this product. Hugely interactive, the app has an incredible feature that allow you to photograph your smile on your i phone to have one of our dentists to view without you even having to visit - how cool is that ?
Try it for yourself , particularly if you are unhappy with your smile and we can advise on some of our excellent smile correction treatments.
Patients convenience is paramount to us and so a major revamp of our surgery hours will make a visit for busy people so much easier. We know offer Monday to Fridays from 8.30 till 7.00pm and Saturday 8.30 till 1.00  We know of no other practice in the North East of England that can match such a level of convenience for their patients.
We have a reputation for excellent front desk service and we are proud to be able to add to this as our new signing Suzanne joins the team. She has a wealth of experience in customer service and should prove to be a real asset to our reception team.                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                         Suzanne will help us with an increasing work load at the front desk as Oliver's have just signed an exciting agreement to join forces with a brand new sports physiotherapy company, Complete Sports Medicine. Fronted by ex Sunderland AFC physiotherapist Peter Friar they will offer patients excellent physiotherapy,acupuncture,nutritional advice and exercise science. On a sessional basis starting early December, the service will add to the range of treatments under the roof of Olivers Dental Studio. Our next blog will have more detailed information on this exciting service as the Complete Sports Medicine web site launches. Watch this space.

We have for many months had huge frustration with our reliance on letter and envelope communication with our patients. Most of us are frustrated by large quantities of paper dropping through our letter box and so electronic communication will become more the norm for Olivers. e mail and texting will form the heart of this change but please consider joining our Facebook fan page  at  link   or our brilliant livechat feature. Live chat contacts us directly during office hours and we allocate a staff member to reply to your request as soon as we can.

We also took a big step into charity support this year , the highlight being boss Michaels trip to Morocco to help the Berber children of the Rif Mountains. Helping others who have much less than ourselves has become a focus for our team. Thousands of pounds was raised by the trip, funded solely by the dentists themselves, and a start was made helping these lovely children with very poor teeth. Thank you to all who helped us.

                                                  

So we hope you can see why the boss calls 2010 breathless and hope that 2011 will continue to excite you as we look to progress further.

Special mention too for the guidance and energy of marketing coach Tony Gedge and the team at M.P.O.D .


Customer service and high quality dental care will always be foremost in the success of the Studio but we are very aware that our message needs to be out there for the continued success of our brand.
Olivers have raised their internet profile significantly this year, in particular with their use of social networking to help keep patients abreast of the huge improvements in the Studio. Our patients are increasingly turning to the internet and smart phones to communicate with us, patients are busy people and we want to make their lives run as smoothly as possible.

We are particularly excited about our new i Phone app which you can download for free at the i phone app store  at Olivers Dental Studio . Search it on your phone , its fantastic !

While we are blowing our own trumpet after the Marketing win , Olivers are one of the few practices in the world to have their own interactive e magazine . You can view this exciting form of our newsletter by a simple click  . Give it a try , its very clever. 



So there you have it  , a brilliant night for our team ,and we look forward to making 2011 equally exciting with more new developments.
