Life circumstance always got in the way to do something about it (I kept telling myself). In reality I just kept putting it off. Pain, infection & discomfort followed & plagued me for years. Eventually I pulled the last few myself, ouch !
It’s very embarrassing being middle aged with no teeth, I felt very old when I stared back at myself in the mirror. A high-profile job & the butt of jokes (albeit well-meaning jokes) I suppose is what eventually drove me to do something about it. I could not perform at my best whilst speaking to a room, this effected business with continued self-consciousness in my appearance.
A year of research led me to Parrock Dental & Rick to undertake my full mouth restoration. You see if you research not all implant surgeons are equal. Many dental practices offer it; however, not all are fully qualified to do so, Rick is !
I wont lie it was costly however a valued investment in myself.
Compared to other practices Parrock are very, very reasonable in their costs for what you get. but it all about the outcome right ?
I cannot compliment Rick and the whole Parrock team enough, they have been absolutely fantastic, from receptionists to the nurse technicians. For me it has been a privilege to have found Parrock Dental, they have given me back a perfect smile and most important my confidence again.
One thing to add (as I know many reading & researching will want to know) before you pull the trigger on your full restoration journey, was it painful ? Well, the honest answer is not as half as what is imagined. I learned many years ago fear on the most part is imagined pain & not reality. I wont lie, it is an uncomfortable procedure to undertake but is very well managed by Parrock team & NOT agonising pain. A day of uncomfortableness is well worth a life changing outcome is it not !
Such is my confidence in Rick & the Parrock team, I am more than willing to talk directly with you and discuss my journey. I would love to help you if I can as Parrock has helped me, definitely !

I came here for Invisalign because I’d always been self-conscious about my smile and had a fear of the dentist due to past bad experiences. From the very first consultation, the team made me feel completely at ease.
The whole Invisalign process only took 4 months, and I’m so pleased with the results! Every step from the initial exams to the hygiene appointments was handled with care and professionalism. The staff are so friendly, reassuring and understand how to work with nervous patients.
Thanks to Parrock Dental, my dental phobia has eased massively (10 years+), and I finally feel confident about my smile. Highly recommend!
Dr Blanche Kadjo I have seen her through my whole Invisalign experience she explained things very clearly made me feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend her. and I will be doing so to everyone who is interested in having Invisalign very professional very friendly and I’m so happy with my results

So far, I've had a couple of teeth rebuilt, rather than patched up, and I've had one implant.
Dr Rik is so reassuring and professional and the whole team looks after you so well.
I am very happy with my implant, it is comfortable and easy to use and keep clean, the colour blends into my mouth perfectly.
I also discovered how useful dental hygiene treatment and advice is. I had no idea how to get rid of my swollen gums nor that you should have actual gaps between your teeth at gum level. I have always been to the dentist twice a year, however no one has talked about brushing at an angle between the gum and the tooth!
Thank you Parrock Dental, I wish that I'd come to you years ago.
From the moment I walked into the surgery I felt relaxed and discussing my treatment plan with Rik and his team was completely stress free. Rik has a very relaxed manner and explained everything clearly even on the day of my surgery.
My mouth was full of broken teeth with several missing altogether, I suffered pain when chewing and was very conscious of how my smile looked. That has all changed now and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rik and the team.
If, like I was, your teeth are in a mess, then don't hesitate to contact Parrock Dental & Implant Centres. They can and will sort you out!
