MY DENTAL IMPLANT JOURNEY

June 22, 2017 by Dapo

ONLY HUMAN- MY DENTAL IMPLANT JOURNEY
Having completed an initial training in Cambridge 3 years ago, I decided to enrol for a Masters program in Dental Implants
The Masters program in Oral Implantology started at Goethe University Frankfurt in May.

Practical session with Prof. Nentwig- Inventor of Ankylos Implants

There was an international mix of Dentists from Australia, USA, China, Russia, Iran and so on and varying levels of experience.
The morning started with a talk from the Program Director Paul, about the Goethe Institute and its dedication to excellence.
Next, we were made to sign contracts to formalise our commitment to hard work, timeliness and efficiency and were given a task to choose our Master Thesis.
We were told plagiarism or cheating would be severely frowned upon,
And that one of our Tutors who is world renowned doesn’t travel so the whole class would be travelling to Munich for his lecture- He had to be booked 2 years in advance!

This was followed by 6 hours of varying levels of internet security access to the University facilities and clinical expectations.
By the end of the day, the Russian Dentist next to me was close to tears with fears she would be unable to cope.
Hiding my concerns, I told her to interpret her anxiety as excitement.

Then in the evening, they took us out to dinner.
The previously severe faced team laughed and joked with us!
One of the coordinators told me her boyfriend was Nigerian and she had been practising my name before I arrived in Germany.
She had been meaning to say hello with a greeting of ” Kíló nselè”- colloquial for “what’s up” but changed her mind at the last minute.

“Scary Paul” became “piss-faced Paul” as he downed pint after pint of larger and spent one to one time with each delegate.
The highly experienced Implant surgeon from California confessed he signed up for the course because he wanted to improve on his knowledge.
In the morning, they showed us their professionalism; In the evening, their humanity.
Even at the highest levels of achievement, Dentists are humans after all
Especially the Germans!

Dental 397 consistently provides a really professional service, and importantly a very welcoming and friendly service. The really pleasant and calm environment of the reception and waiting area, and the kind attention of all the staff enhances the experience. I am always very confident in the dental service, recommendations and treatment provided. Care is taken to explain things clearly using relevant props and x-ray images to support this. And treatment delivered efficiently and with care. I have recommended the Dental 397 practice to friends and continue to do so.

As someone who has always hated going to the dentist I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased with the work of Dapo and her team. She makes you feel very relaxed and I can honestly say that even the injections have not been painful. I have had major work done and spent many hours in the dentist chair but all these hours have been fairly relaxing and I have felt very comfortable and confident in everything she has done. The work she has done has been excellent. I highly recommend this dentist.
