“Recently I have had RESTYLANE Dermal fillers injected into my lips to make them fuller. I liked the shape of...”
my lips however they were very flat and kind of tucked under. Dr Khan advised me on how to enhance them to a reasonable size too. Pre-op pictures were taken before so he knew exactly where to inject and what areas were more necessary for the filler.
I opted for just the upper lip as my lower lip was big enough and didn’t want to create a ‘trout pout’.
Topical anaesthetic cream was applied to my lip and dental block Kelsey Again After 300x200injection, I couldn’t feel a thing which from my perspective was great as well as Dr Khan as he could work calmly without me flinching or moving.
We used half a syringe of Restylane in my top lip, for now, this was enough.
The outcome was great, a small amount of swelling was noticeable however nothing drastic! After 2 days I started to get used to the size of my lips as it can affect your speech or eating as it’s a different feeling from what you are used to. Dr Khan took pictures 2 weeks later and this is when we decided a top-up would be necessary, there was definitely a difference however I did want more. We used the rest of the syringe of Restylane and again were pain-free!
I am very happy with my lips now as they are symmetrical at a perfect size to suit my face. I would definitely go ahead with Dermal Fillers again once the treatment has worn off!

“I have always been conscious of my teeth and always wanted that “perfect smile”. In pictures, I felt like my...”
front tooth would always look as though it stood out compared to the rest and this made me feel conscious to show my teeth when smiling in pictures. I liked the shape and general appearance of my teeth but just wanted them straighter and more aligned.
I saw Dr Younis for a cosmetic consultation and was advised that braces would be the best option for me and would be a lot more conservative of my natural healthy teeth compared to procedures like veneers. I decided to go ahead with the clear fixed braces, I was a bit worried about the appearance of what they would look like whilst having them on. Once they were fitted they felt like a bit of a mouth full at first but I quickly adapted to it, I was pleasantly surprised that they were barely noticeable in pictures and from afar. I was very pleased with the results; there was a noticeable difference within the first 2 weeks of having the braces on, in total I had the braces on for only 8 months with having them adjusted once every 4 weeks. I was very pleased with how quick the procedure took to get me to my desired result.
After having the braces off my friends and family were full of compliments and noticed how different my teeth and smile looked, I still get a lot of comments from people about having a nice smile and lovely teeth, I can now smile with confidence thanks to Dr Younis and the rest of the dental team at Crook Log Dental Practice.”

“I have never been happy or confident about my smile since I was a little girl; I didn’t complete some...”
orthodontic work to close the gaps and also cracked my front tooth in half leading to a crown. In my early twenties, my then dentist tried to correct the gap by fitting an over the large crown and for a number of years that was ok, not great but just ok. However both my children had extensive orthodontic work to correct misaligned teeth and it made me aware of how much things had changed and what was possible so I had a couple of tentative conversations with Dr Khan over the intervening years, but always had other things to spend the money on and it felt a selfish thing to do just to make me feel better. Eventually, in July this year, I finally felt that it was important enough for me to take the plunge and seriously explore what could be done. Dr Khan was so helpful and reassuring – I really didn’t want a Simon Cowell type transformation, I simply wanted a smile that I was proud of and didn’t require me to hide behind my hand or smile with my lips closed or any of the other tactics I had developed over the years to hide my smile. With his help, I was able to talk through the options and the desired outcome and arrive at the best solution for me. I couldn’t be happier with the result!
I felt able to ask questions and was encouraged to think about whether clear braces were necessary (they weren’t for me), what my real concerns were and how likely it was that these could be corrected. I was given the chance to experience a wax-up of the potential result which was the decider for me. I felt that if the final result was anything like the simple wax-up, I was definitely doing the right thing, and all along Dr Khan was confident and that gave me the confidence to go ahead.
It is really hard to put into words without sounding gushy, but I have spent so long regretting my smile and attempting to hide it, that now I feel a real sense of change. Naturally, I am a happy smiley person and I enjoy laughing out loud, but before this, I was always quick to put my hand over my mouth. At a family party the weekend after the work was finished, friends and family commented that I seemed happier and more smiley, they noticed something was different but no one realised I had changed my smile, they just saw someone who appeared happier, how amazing is that! I probably will get stopped by the police when I am driving at some point, I keep checking my teeth in the driver’s sun visor mirror, and it makes me smile every time I do, but probably isn’t so great for road concentration!
Professionally, I speak a lot in public at conferences and seminars etc, and in this digital age, there is always a camera or a screen involved projecting an image of the speaker. This was beginning to affect my confidence but now, I don’t worry, I just smile my way through.
I think that most people want to get their general, routine Dentist appointment over and done with, so don’t interact too much with their dentist, dental nurse or support employees. I was a little worried that, for something as big as this felt to me, I would be just another patient going through the process (which I recognize that I am but this felt so much more than anything routine). However, my experience through this process couldn’t have been better, from the emails and phone calls reminding me of appointments to the timetabling of treatment to meet my personal deadline and my work diary commitments, I felt that it was all about me and making sure I was not too inconvenienced and that I was satisfied and happy at each step of the treatment journey.
Mrs Land 300x200I would definitely recommend Dr Khan! Put your trust in him, talk to him about what you are worried about and what your desired outcome is. Be bold and make sure that you ask questions even dumb ones. It all helps get you the result that you want. As for the cost yes, it can be expensive, this sort of work is never going to be cheap but then I wouldn’t trust anyone who said it could be. However, for the money that I have paid, I couldn’t have asked for a better result and everything I have said above is worth more than the money.
Thank you, Dr Khan and the team. You have made all the difference to me!
I am not the only one in my household with a crooked smile anymore and that makes me so happy!!”

“I had originally chipped my front tooth a long time ago and had it built up with a filling. Over...”
the years, the filling had started to pick up staining and started to stand out more. I wanted to improve the appearance of this tooth and so discussed it with my dentist.
Dr Khan was very kind and explained all the options to me beforehand which we were then able to come to a decision as to what to do.
I was initially nervous but Dr Khan was very reassuring and helped to explain the treatment very clearly. The treatment has made me more confident with the end product of the tooth rebuilding being much better than it was before.
It was such a pain-free process and the clinical team were kind and were always very nice. I would definitely recommend the treatment as the dentist rebuilding part of the tooth worked extremely well and it looks very realistic. I’d like to thank Dr Khan for his work!”

“During a recent holiday, I had a fall, landed on my chin and damaged my upper front teeth. The damage...”
was too extensive for the dentist in Cyprus to repair, hence I visited Crook Log Dental Practice on my return to the UK. One of my front teeth had been pushed out of its socket with the trauma, making it difficult to eat, and 2 other teeth were severely broken.
My dentist was patient and reassuring during my emergency appointment, explaining the treatment that would be necessary. He put the dislodged front tooth back into position and built up the broken front tooth with a composite filling which immediately relieved the discomfort and improved my confidence (and my appearance!) He then began root canal treatment to save 2 of my teeth as the nerves were dying following the trauma, then left them all to settle down before moving on to veneer and 3 crowns that would complete the restoration.
During the whole process my dentist put me at ease, making wax-ups of how the completed work would look and providing me with answers to all my questions (of which there were many!) I chose to have my teeth whitened before being fitted with the temporary crowns & Veneer whilst the porcelain ones were bring made, and I was delighted with the results. Now the work is finished and I’ve come a long way since crying in the dentist chair in Cyprus to grinning broadly at my new smile! With enormous thanks to all at Crook Log Dental Practice.”
