Operculectomy - brilliant!
Back in July this year, I visited this clinic for a laser-assisted operculectomy procedure on my partially impacted wisdom tooth. This was a problem that had been plaguing me for months, I was in a lot of discomfort from recurring pericoronitis. My NHS dentists told me the wisdom tooth needs to come out, but I was then told my major nerve was very close to the root of the wisdom tooth and that it would be a potentially problematic procedure, and would need hospital treatment. This made me incredibly nervous and doubtful, and honestly I did not want to go through invasive (and problematic) surgery like that. I asked what about operculectomy (removing the gum) since there was no actual issue with my wisdom tooth itself. I was told by my NHS dentists that this procedure is a waste of time and money, don't do it. They also just shrugged and said it's up to me to get the wisdom tooth removed or not, and that was the end of their "help".
Well, I thought I would rather at least try a less invasive solution before going through a whole surgery. I found Dr Jacek Sitkiewicz and the Goodlight Clinic, who offers laser-assisted operculectomy. I contacted the clinic to ask about my situation and immediately the reception was so accommodating, helpful and very friendly. With the actual procedure with Dr Jacek Sitkiewicz, I felt at ease with his calm and professional mannerism, and the procedure itself was really so quick and easy, I was pleasantly surprised. I also really appreciated his advice about cool sage tea aftercare to help my gum heal since I always try more natural remedies if possible. And indeed it worked well, my gum healed in a matter of weeks and I have had no problems since. The clinic itself was clean and modern - just what you want for dental services!
It has been some months since my appointment, and the gum has not grown back like my NHS dentist insisted it would. Gum regrowth is natural, but Dr Sitkiewicz cut the gum in such a way that would hopefully prevent it from becoming the same problem it was before. As I said, I've had no issues at all since this procedure - I am back to eating normally on that side of my mouth and it is a wonderful relief.
Hopefully the gum will always stay this way! But if I ever need private dental services again, I will definitely be back here. Overall great experience. Many thanks for the help. Highly recommend!
