Dr Helen's Dental & Implant Studio

"A big thank you to Dr Helen and her team at Dr Helens Dental & Implant Studio for the great dental service provided involving my dental bone grafting and tooth implant. I'm very pleased with the whole process from the initial informative consultation to walking out with a naturally appearing tooth implant many months later. Dr Helen’s thoroughness and professionalism in her work ultimately resulted in a positive journey for me and I am recommending Dr Helens Dental & Implant Studio for anyone requiring dental services."

"MY IMPLANT JOURNEY I have decided to share my implant journey hoping to help others in the decision-making process on dental implants. We all have a different story but here is mine. I had tried to maintain my own teeth but was at a point where I had lost a few and had multiple that had been repaired. The day came when I was eating and heard the dreaded crunch!! A front visible tooth had broken and fell out. That sinking hollow feeling was instant. I decided to look into full mouth implants, but where do I start? Like most people Google. The gravity of this decision was overwhelming not only the financial but fear if not done right what then? All my teeth would have been removed. I needed to have confidence that I was going to have the best chance of a successful treatment. I decided for me a local dentist was the right choice. I felt I needed a personal approachable service. I came across Dr Helens website after looking into her training and experience I began reading her articles. It was evident to me that she cared for her patients and understood that everyone’s expectations and limitations were different. I booked a consultation to discuss my options and a treatment plan. Dr Helen was compassionate to my fear of the process and importantly listened to me explain the impact my tooth deterioration was having on my everyday life. After examination I was given treatment options. One key difference I noted was Dr Helens treatment plan included 2 sets of bridges. The 1st temporary bridges 3-5 days post-surgery, then 5 months later once my jaw had healed, I would receive another full set of bridges. Dr Helen was happy to discuss and answer any questions I had. I felt she understood the enormity of the decision and didn’t rush me in any way. The outcome of this initial consultation was: 1. Treatment options given 2. Advised scan was needed to address variables such as bone density. 3. Advised of possible complications and how these would be addressed. 4. Provided with estimation of costs and referral for scan. The procedure required a general anesthetic, fortunately this is done at Dr Helens practice. The anesthetist contacted me and provided all relevant information. On the day of surgery, it was reassuring to walk in and know my surroundings and everyone. It was the usual friendly greeting I had come to know from Dr Helen and her staff. Dr Helen made sure I was ok and again gave me the opportunity to ask any questions. I went home that night with medications and reassurance to contact the practice If I had any questions or concerns. Post surgery I was never in pain or discomfort. Five days later I returned to have my temporary bridges fitted. I now had a smile I had not had for many years. It affected everything. I was happy all the time. I had my confidence back. I think because my dental problems were a gradual decline, I knew it was impacting my wellbeing but had underestimated just how much. Five months later with my jaw healed and my implants fused it was time for my final bridges. 1st was a trial fitting giving Dr Helen and myself the opportunity to discuss and request any adjustments to the laboratory. Final fitting. My temporary bridges were removed, and the final bridges screwed in place. I didn’t think there could be much improvement. I was very happy with my temporary bridges however the fit was amazing. They feel like my natural teeth. Being at the end of this journey I now understand the importance of 2 sets of bridges. Yes, I was happy with my temporary bridges, but my final bridges fit and feel amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Helen for your dental needs. She is genuine, kind, compassionate, non-judgmental and very approachable. I feel I was given detailed honest information on available options for my dental needs and the opportunity to discuss and make informed decisions on my treatment. I am extremely grateful to Dr Helen."

"I don't have the words to describe what a life changing experience having implants is. It's like being given a second chance in life. I lost all my teeth due to my fear of dentists. I would avoid going to a dentist until another tooth had to come out. Eventually I had almost none left. I tried to wear full dentures but I just couldn't eat with them as they rubbed and moved so much. I contemplated implants for so long but because of my fear, I just couldn't make the first step. When I met Dr Helen she put my mind at ease. She reassured me with honesty and explained what to expect. I felt comfortable and cared for. So I did go ahead with all on 4 implants. It wasn't easy but I don't regret my decision for a moment as I can now eat like I used to many years ago, and don't have to cover my mouth anymore. I can't say enough how well Dr Helen and her team looked after me. She is so approachable but professional. I had many questions and concerns and she made sure they were all attended too. She was available whenever I needed help, even after hours. I've been to many dentists in my life, and sadly I developed a phobia as a result, which was hard to shake, but this place is not like other dentists. Dr Helen really cares about her patients. You are not just a number. Unlike my previous experiences, she went well and truly out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. Her expertise and honesty paid off in the end as I followed her advice, and I couldn't be happier. I can't thank Dr Helen and her lovely team enough. My new smile has trully changed my life."

"I would highly recommend Dr. Helen for cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Helen is a talented dental specialist with a genuine concern for her patients. I had an open discussion with Dr. Helen regarding my treatment, she gave me honest answers about what can & can't be achieved with the goal of achieving the best outcome for her patients. Her workmanship not only achieved but exceeded my expectations. I always dreamt since I was a child to have a perfect smile; Thank you Dr. Helen for making my dreams come true!"

"Dr Helen is the best dentist I've ever been to, And I've been to a lot ! She has everything organised, she is friendly, comforting and gentle I will be going here for the rest of my days. If you are looking for dentistry work look no further.. From my experience Dr Helen's experience is insurmountable. This is the best dentistry clinic in Australia as far as I'm concerned."
