My treatment was not successful. Despite being assured it was very simple and I should not worry I had to return a number of times after treatment by Dr Massimo Giovarruscio. Firstly because the filled tooth was not smoothed off and caused mouth and tongue ulcers and subsequently for pain. After an x-ray my pain was dismissed as of having no cause and I was advised to continue with mouthwash and painkillers. Returning on emergency appointments to see Dr Alan Holland it was identified through scans and investigations that the tooth was suffering from resorption that was now too far advanced to cure. I ended up being referred for an extraction which added additional costs and I will now need a dental implant once this has healed at further cost. Treatment will cost me around £5k once complete. I am very disappointed at the outcome, pain endured and costs and the failure to identify and treat the problem when I originally highlighted it.
It can take a long time to get an appointment and then to be booked in for treatment. Reception staff are lovely and very helpful. I found Dr Holland to be the more experienced dentist who correctly identified my problem in the end. Dr Giovarruscio lacks bedside manner and dismissed my concerns too quickly about post operative pain leading to the loss of my tooth. read more
