"After spending many years of going from one dental practice to another I first met Sharif 20 years ago, I had finally found a dentist who made me feel at ease and who understood my fear. From the very first meeting with Sharif all those years ago I knew then I would never fear going to the dentist again and I looked forward to my appointments. This sounds very cheesy but he was my knight in shining armour but then one day Sharif told me he was leaving the practice to peruse his career, I was devastated. I did not have a car all those years ago so it was impossible to attend his new practice so my quest began yet again to find the perfect dentist. So 20 years have gone by and over this period of time the only time I have visited the dentist is when I have been in pain, so I have never built a relationship or a bond with any dentist and also I have never felt comfortable with anyone. Last year I got to a point where if I continued the way I was going I would have no teeth to salvage. I hated looking in the mirror and the way I looked, I celebrated a big birthday last year, turning 50 really affected me, wrinkles and no teeth! I decided to put my fear to one side and research a few local cosmetic practices, I had heard on the radio some time ago an advertisement for Rockingham House so I visited the website. The first thing I noticed was the photograph of the team. I looked closely and thought the gentleman in the photograph looks like Sharif , it can’t possibly be Sharif , the last time I saw him was 20 years ago he did not look any different , it can’t be him I kept telling myself. I made an appointment for a consultation, thinking to myself, if it’s not Sharif I will listen but never follow up the appointment. I was telling everyone at work about how I had hoped it was going to be him but we all agreed that it could not be him after all these years. Well imagine my surprise when I opened the door, yes it was Sharif, we both started to speak at the same time, it’s you we both said in harmony, he remembered me from all those years ago, although I have aged Sharif looks the same and the rest is history!! So so happy to be reunited after all these years, sounds like a love story.  

I had gum disease, crooked teeth, tooth decay; my front teeth crossed over, an ill-fitting bottom partial denture, the list goes on. If fact I would describe my teeth to a very run down house that needed demolishing , plus my biggest issue was my confidence and the way I looked when I did smile, which was not very often, I hated having my photo taken. Sharif put a plan together which included bridge work, veneers, whiting, extractions and fillings. At the first appointment I felt so embarrassed when I opened my month, I thought he was going to say there was no hope and that the remaining teeth would all have to be removed, I thought this was going to be the outcome.   

From Day one when I walked into Rockingham House I knew I had made the right choice, Everyone at the practice is so professional , friendly, warm and caring , I can’t praise them enough !  

Happy is not the word, I can’t put into words how I feel and how I look, over the last couple of days I have had comments from my friends and family like amazing, stunning, life changing but the best comment of all was from my husband who said Sharif was a genius and what a transformation, he also said I look 10 years younger. Wow what a result , I get very emotional every time I look in the mirror , I can’t believe it’s me , but it is and it’s a dream come true. Today was like a photo shoot at work, all my friends took before and after shots, which they then sent to their friends and family who in turn sent to theirs, who knows I may be on Youtube this evening, the comments I have received today have been over whelming and my friends are always open and honest with me. I would definitely recommend the practice to friends and family!"

"I first started going to Rockingham House dental practice in 2004, I was unhappy with the treatment I was receiving at my previous dentists and heard an advert on the radio for Rockingham House. I had already made an appointment to register as a new patient, when before my appointment was due I had an accident and broke one of my front teeth in half. In a total panic I rang Rockingham House, they gave me an emergency appointment with Meera Aggarwal and I was seen within the hour. Meera took impressions and temporarily fixed my broken tooth immediately and then crowned it two weeks later. The crown looked so real you would never have known it wasn't a real tooth.

Although I have always tried to look after my teeth I have always had problems with them and have been seen by many different dentists and can honestly say that Rockingham House is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Now when people tell me what a great smile I have I tell them it's down to my brilliant dentist.

Since this first incident I have had various treatments done at the surgery, both necessary and cosmetic procedures and have always been really happy with the results and the treatment I have received. My main dentist is Meera, however I have received emergency treatment from Dr Khan and have found them both to be very impressive.

All the staff at the practice are exceptionally nice, friendly and genuinely seem pleased to see you. I no longer fear going to the dentist since I have been going to Rockingham House.

I would highly recommend Rockingham House as a dental practice and am really pleased I heard the advert for it on the radio. I have already recommended the practice to both my parents and my Grandmother and they are now all patients in the practice and are all very happy with the treatment they have received."

"In June 2013 my crown and bridge across my 4 front teeth finally gave up the ghost and my dentist advised a partial denture. I had a temporary denture made and was due for the permanent denture to be started in November. I cannot explain the psychological effect wearing a denture had. I tried very hard but could not come to terms with removing my teeth to clean them and sleeping without teeth. It was absolutely dreadful.

My husband saw the Rockingham House advert in the Yorkshire Post and I arranged an initial appointment. I met with Dr Khan and he explained the implant procedure whereby he could give me a set of 10 top teeth. I knew as soon as I talked with him that I would trust this man and knew that I could totally rely on him to carry out the treatment necessary. I became quite emotional at the time; I was so relieved that I had found someone to help me. We started treatment at the end of February and I am delighted to say that I now have my lovely new set of "forever"teeth!

I cannot praise Dr Khan and everyone at Rockingham House too highly. Each stage of treatment was explained carefully in advance and the nurses made sure I was very well looked after. I can honestly say I did not find the treatment at all painful.

I am delighted my husband saw the Rockingham advert, I cannot stop smiling and I tell anyone and everyone I talk to about the wonderful man who gave me my lovely new teeth. I cannot really put into words the difference this whole experience has made to me."

"On the recommendation of my dentist I had all the teeth in my upper jaw removed as he said I would have a problem in later life wearing false teeth if this was not done. Dentures were made and fitted by my dentist and I coped but was reluctant to ever leave them out even when sleeping.

Researching implants I visited a dentist on Harley Street London. Interviews, examination went ahead but after receiving exorbiant bills for even just consultations and an estimate of what implants would cost I could not go aheadwith having implants fitted at that practice.

My dentist recommended Rockingham House saying in his words if his mother needed implants hw would go there. The procedure was carefully explained, nothing was rushed and where it was thought a longer time was needed for a more satisfactory outcome such was the case.

The results of having the implants have been as follows:

1.The shape and structire of my upper jaw has been returned to normal.

2. I do not have to take my teeth out.

3. I can eat a wide variety of foods I could not manage with the dentures (Nuts etc.) 

I was very impressed with the whole procedure and with all the staff and I am very pleased with my implants and would highly recommend the practice to anyone considering implants."

S.Coldron

 "Rockingham House was recommended to me by a close friend who understood my dislike of going to the dentist but also my desire to correct some cosmetic problems with my teeth that I had had since childhood. It took me a while to pluck up the courage to change as going to the dentist has never been my great love. From the moment I set foot in Rockingham House I knew I would be well taken care of. The reception staff were polite, efficient and very welcoming and instantly made me feel at ease.

Meeting Dr Khan was a revelation to me. He is a true gentleman and has a very calm reassuring manner. He explored how I felt about visiting the dentist and what experiences I had had in the past - a first for me. I actually felt that someone cared about me, my teeth and my dental phobia.

We discussed what I wanted to achieve and Dr Khan devised a plan based on my wishes. The treatment I had was first to clean and then whiten my teeth and then proceed on to do some cosmetic dentistry, which would give me teeth that I had always longed for and could be proud of. I requested a very natural look and Dr Khan clearly listened to my request. The dental hygienist was excellent and the treatment was entirely painless and stress free.

The result was stunning. I have the smile I always dreamed of with the most natural teeth, as I had been unhappy with these for many years. Not only do I now have a smile to be proud of  but my phobia has completely disappeared and strangely I look forward to the visits to see my lovely Dentist.

I could not recommend Rockingham House highly enough. It is a first class service delivered by first class professionals and I am truly and eternally thankful that I found them. "

"I had quite an unusual problem. My top front teeth were quite wonky and the two front teeth were very thin and slightly discoloured. They had become sensitive and painful at times. I had been advised by other dentists that I would firstly need a brace to straighten the teeth and then two veneers to improve the appearance of my two front teeth. I was told this would take years.

As soon as I walked into my consultation with Sharif and told him the problem he didn't give me that "this is a difficult problem to fix" look. He just said that he could make my teeth look beautiful. He explained he would whiten my teeth first of all and then place two veneers over my two front teeth. He said he would contour and shape a few of the top teeth and position the veneers so my teeth were straight. He told me I would need 4 appointments and I booked them all in that day. I could not believe that my teeth could look straight from veneers alone, and in 3 short months! Neither could my family!

As soon as I saw them I could see how much better they looked. They really are beautiful, white and straight! Throughout my treatment all the staffs were polite, caring and knowledgeable. I felt at ease every time Sharif worked on my teeth.

I am very happy with the results. I could not have wished for a better result. It has improved my confidence and stopped any pain or sensitivity I was previously experiencing. I still admire them now!

I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for cosmetic treatment. Don't bother going anywhere else. You will get amazing results here and Sharif will do the best he possibly can for you."

Claire Gordon

 

"My son was originally recommended to Rockingham House from his NHS dentist. His two middle top front teeth were badly decayed and all his top front teeth were embarrassingly small. We were immediately filled with confidence by Dr Sharif Khan's friendly, caring, calming manner. His obvious love for and dedication to, his work was immediately apparent. He gave us his expert advice... and the journey began.

Amazingly, the decayed two front teeth were salvageable and root canal work was carried out by Dr Meera Aggarwal. Meera also has a very friendly, caring and calming manner, which immediately fills you with confidence.

Sharif had recommended gum surgery to expose more of the small front teeth and the next step was to perform this... it worked brilliantly!

Six veneers were then fitted to the top front teeth by Sharif and the result... amazing! The teeth look very natural and my son at last has a smile he is proud of! We are extremely pleased with all the work which was carried out... this type of work is literally life changing! We would never, ever have thought that this result would have been possible and we very grateful and thankful to have been recommended to Sharif and his team. We have already recommended the practice to friends.

Thank you so much Sharif, Meera and all the friendly, caring staff for making the whole experience a happy, smiley one :))))"

Mrs G

 

"For 20 years I suffered from repeated dental pain, loss and infection, including abscesses and bleeding gums. An ill-fitting mouth plate compounded my problems, resulting in problems eating and sores on the roof of my mouth. I’d received regular treatment but had lost faith in dentists. Then in early 2013 I read an article about Rockingham House in the Yorkshire Post and embarked on more research. I discovered the practice was well regarded and played an important role in training dentists.

After my initial consultation with Dr. Sharif Khan a personal treatment plan was drawn up that included All-on-4 implants and a crown in my upper jaw to replace the plate, and  composite fillings in my lower jaw. 

Throughout my care I’ve been treated with consideration and respect, being fully informed of the options and what was involved in each stage of treatment. All the staff are friendly, supportive and professional. I have never felt so at ease at in the dentist’s chair! The results are fantastic. My teeth feel and look good. For the first time in my adult live I can eat what I want and smile without feeling self-conscious. Most importantly I am pain and infection free. I can’t recommend Rockingham House highly enough to friends, family and strangers alike. The staff are wonderful and the treatment has been life-changing. I wish I’d found them sooner.

Martyn Crapper

 

"When I was 16 years old I broke my jaw in a motor bike accident. I swallowed one tooth, broke another front tooth and knocked the front bottom teeth out.
Over the years I gradually lost more teeth on the bottom and had a full lower denture. Each time a new denture was made I had problems with the fit and discomfort, and gradually lost bone.
Finally my dentist referred me, who made me some dentures. They were a better fit but usually became loose.
My dentist then suggested Mr Khan at Rockingham House. I had a consultation, examination and x-rays etc. Mr Khan suggested dental implants, done by keyhole surgery. Although it sounded like a good idea I had to give it some serious thought mainly because of the cost and partly because it was so daunting.
However, when I thought of the embarrassment of loose dentures, mouth ulcers, not being able to eat properly or chew my food, I had to admit Mr Khan was right. I turned up on the day having had a sedative and antibiotics. I had my temporary dentures fixed. I was shown how to clean them by the hygienist Debbie and after a few months was fitted with my permanent teeth.
I can't explain what a difference this has made to my life! I can eat with confidence, knowing that they will not move. This is the best decision I have ever made. I owe my thanks to Mr Khan. My own dentist said they looked "very nice" and he had done a great job. Now there's a compliment!"

Doreen Hedges

 

"For as long as I can remember my teeth have not been great and over the years, my mouth just seemed to be full of fillings and crowns. My first visit to Dr Sharif Khan was in October 2006 and it was extremely friendly and informative and he was very honest about what the outcome could be for me. As time elapsed it was time for the CAT scan and that procedure was painless, but again I was coached through the process so I knew exactly what to expect. In February 2008 I had my dental implant. Again on the day the situation was explained and was therefore not intimidating at all, I had some lovely music to listen to throughout the procedure. I felt remarkably well after the treatment - I expected some bruising but I didn't. I received a follow - up call to check how I was and I actually asked if I could stop the medication as I felt it was unnecessary which proves how well I felt following the treatment. I then had my implant bridge fitted which immediately felt comfortable, I can't really explain how good it felt other than to say it belonged to me, my mouth felt so light, just absolutely marvellous really! My implant is part of me, not a fixture and I marvel each day I look at my teeth and I am so grateful to have been offered this treatment, I would not have had it any other way and comes highly recommended. If I had to have it done again, I can honestly say there is nothing I would change; it was just an amazing time for me."

Mrs G Hamilton

 

"After many years of problems with my teeth and gums my NHS dentist told me he could do little for them. I was devastated, hating the prospect of full dentures. My dentist suggested that Dr Sharif Khan at Rockingham House would be able to help me.

After a consultation with Dr Khan he recommended that a bridge, supported by implants was the way forward, together with root canal treatment and crowns on teeth that could be retained. During the course of my treatment every step was explained to me in detail and carried out in a meticulous fashion by Dr Khan, who I consider to be a perfectionist, ensuring that everything was satisfactory before proceeding to the next stage.

I have nothing but praise for Dr Khan and all his team who made a somewhat daunting proposition a relaxed and friendly affair. The results are just fantastic, more than I'd hoped for and I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Dr Khan and his team at Rockingham House, to anyone contemplating a similar procedure - I can smile again!
Many thanks to you all."

"I'm slightly above 50 years of age, therefore I grew up locally in the late 60's and 70's, eating sweets was a big pastime and dental care was not high on anyone's agenda. The only nice teeth I remember seeing were owned by old people and were placed in a glass of water overnight, on the bedside cabinet, or in the drawer. By the time I was a teenager I had four slightly rotten front teeth, one of them had about a third chipped off. I had last visited a dentist when I was around 7yrs old. I didn't like the way he tried to prise open my mouth, so I bit his thumb and ran off.
At about 19yrs old I decided to have my teeth sorted and also needed several fillings, I had four nice shiny porcelain caps fitted to my front teeth. These served me well for many years. Eventually, one of them fell off and was replaced by my local dentist; it nearly matched colour wise and was almost straight. Then another one fell off. A couple of my work colleagues are patients of Dr Khan and they couldn't recommend him highly enough. I visited Dr Khan and found out for myself that he was in fact much nicer than he had been described. A gentleman of the highest order. My only regret from first meeting him was not taking his advice at that time. He 'temporarily' fixed my missing cap and explained his recommendation for the rest of my teeth. I liked the idea, but went away to ponder on it for quite some time. When I returned to see him, I had been suffering; I now needed two root canals amongst other work. I decided to follow Dr Khan's advice. I had my front caps replaced after all the other remedial work was done. OK, it’s not cheap, but who wants cheap when it comes to your teeth? I could have had a less expensive alternative, but I am so glad I didn't. If my story sounds familiar to you and maybe you’re undecided about treatment, all I can say is that I wish I had done it sooner. Nearly every time I meet new people and smile to say hello, I see them look at my teeth, it’s a great feeling to have a confident smile, you can't really put a price on that. As for the pain and dread of being in the dentist’s chair, don't worry. Dr Khan takes the best of care, I hardly felt anything. I look forward to my check-ups as it’s always a pleasure to see Dr Khan. The staff are absolutely great too, friendly, polite, welcoming, caring, I cannot recommend this practice enough."

Mark Cawthorne

 

"Just over 4 years ago I chipped my 2 front teeth quite severely, straight away I visited my own dentist whom told me that I needed to have quite extensive dental surgery to return these teeth to normal, not being satisfied with this I visited a second dentist whom told me exactly the same, having had the benefit of excellent teeth all my life I was not ready to have these either removed or severely ground away for implants.

Fortunately I remember reading an advertisement for Rockingham House Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Ltd., and contacted this practice whom promptly gave me an appointment, upon examination Dr Khan told me that he could fix the problem without the necessary major surgery that was suggested by the other 2 dentists in Sheffield.

Dr Khan proceeded to repair the 2 front teeth with skill of the likes I am still amazed over 4 years later, how he did it I’m not sure but the colour and shape is exactly as my original teeth, almost a miracle as far as I’m concerned, no pain during and no pain afterwards, FANTASTIC.

I couldn't be happier with the results and have gone back to this practice for further work, and would HIGHLY recommend Rockingham House Dentistry, and have done so many times, although this practice is about 60 miles from my house it’s well worth the trip, in fact if it was 3 times this mileage I would still go to Dr Khan for my treatment.

As a footnote...I went back to my original dentist almost immediately after the treatment for an opinion, and was told that he could see the treatment and it was only a matter of time before they "popped off". He said, it’s not a case of "if" but "when" well, as I said that’s over 4 years ago and not the slightest sign of any problems and looks like they were done yesterday.

Thank You Dr Khan your skill is much appreciated."

Mel Farrar

 

"It was my own dentist who recommended me to Dr Sharif Khan of Rockingham House Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Ltd.  

I had two front Crowns fitted a very long time ago to my front teeth, and finally decided I needed a new look, to close the gaps in my top teeth.  Upon my first visit to Rockingham House, I was greeted with a very friendly team of staff, and any fears or concerns that I may have had about my treatment were soon put aside by the care and professionalism of all staff, and everything was fully explained about what was going to happen at each stage of my treatment.  

I was recommended to have the front four top teeth replaced by Veneers, to close the gaps up and have the bottom teeth filed so that they were straight.  I also had the whitening treatment as well.  Upon my final appointment, I couldn't believe the results, they were absolutely amazing, and I am so pleased with the outcome, and this has helped my confidence tremendously. I just wished Dr Sharif had been recommended to me a long time ago, as I had nothing to worry about whatsoever. I would definitely recommend anyone who is thinking of having any form of dental treatment to use Rockingham House."

Julie Whiteley 

 

"I was searching for information online when I found the Rockingham House website. I was impressed by the comments of previous patients, one of whom was a friend of mine. I got in touch with her and she assured me that Dr Khan would be able to help me.

For several years my teeth had been falling out because of ageing and problems with my gums. I knew something had to be done as I was finding it increasingly difficult to eat. I dreaded the thought of full dentures and hoped that implants would solve my problem.

I went to see Dr Khan and explained my problem. He listened carefully then did a thorough examination and took lots of photographs. He said he couldn't really recommend implants because of the condition of my jaw. However he suggested appropriate bridgework should solve my problem.

We started a course of treatment which was explained to me at every stage. I was carefully monitored and I have to say I did not feel any pain. Dr Khan’s skill and attention to detail was so encouraging. I cannot praise him enough. I was simply delighted with the result. My new teeth not only looked good, they enabled me to eat properly again.

Now, nearly nine months later, I can enjoy dining out again and my dental health is better than it has been for years

I can recommend the practice with confidence to anyone . All the staff are so pleasant and helpful. I shall be forever grateful to Dr Khan and his staff for giving me back my self-confidence."

Marjorie Gorman

 

"Firstly, I found your services on the web while looking for a reputable company to help me with my dentistry problems. I had a long standing oral hygiene problem, I really didn't know how to look after my teeth and had neglected them. The treatment you provided was to very tactfully show me how to care for my teeth - after a thorough routine of cleaning, treatment and provision of a complete new upper denture, which is also enhancing my gum line and reducing the wrinkles around my upper lip.

I was and still very pleased with all the treatment I have received at Rockingham House, all the staff are so polite, friendly ,professional and caring. The premises are very clean and tidy and well presented.

I am immensely happy with my results! The before and after photos speak for themselves and I can smile with confidence again.

I have recommended the practice to my friends whenever relevant - my wife became a patient shortly after I did and has received tooth whitening treatment (she has always had better teeth than me).
 
I pass my continued thanks to Meera."

Fredrick Lawrence 

 

"I was recommended to the Rockingham House practice by my dental surgeon. On going treatment for gum disease was not proving effective ; I was becoming very self-conscious of the impression made by loose teeth and of the unpleasant taste in my mouth which I felt sure was apparent, as odour, to others. Initial consultations included extensive use of photographs prior to recommendations. I was able to gain an impression of what each option would deliver.

I have had some teeth removed to improve the appearance; they have been replaced with an excellent plate which matches well to my own teeth. As I am very nervous the surgeon applied anaesthetic by way of very thin hair like needles which occasioned no pain. I was unaware that the procedure was concluded until I was asked to rinse! My new plate was fitted immediately and was pain free. I have on going treatment on my teeth to ensure that gum disease remains controlled and that I am able to retain the remaining teeth.

The practice staff are courteous and pleasant; consultations occur prior to each treatment and afterwards to ensure I know both what is to be done and the outcome of each treatment. Any products advised are provided by the practice (they even put them in gift bags!).

Speaking as someone who has always feared each dental appointment I can heartily recommend Rockingham House Practice; the element of detailed consultations enables me to feel a measure of control which reduces tension. I will probably always be a wimp but being pampered in comfortable surroundings and provided with distractions such as videos during treatment helps."

Sandra Briggs

"I passed the practice at Fitzwilliam daily taking my dogs for exercise.  Despite being completely happy with my existing dentist, who is a friend of my husband, I checked the Rockingham House website and decided to call for a free of charge consultation on an old bridge I had been having trouble with for some time.

Parking is extremely convenient at Rockingham House in Fitzwilliam and the atmosphere in the practice is comfortable, relaxed and professional.  I felt extremely reassured, I was asked what “I” wanted to achieve with any treatment and any questions I had were answered in detail and in a way I could easily understand.  I was also provided with a thorough plan detailing all aspects of the treatment I would need including a complete cost breakdown.  A timeline through to completion (including proposed appointment dates) was also provided.

Whilst dental treatment is never enjoyable, Dr Sharif Khan and his team made every effort to keep me as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment period.  I am absolutely delighted with my new bridge and the overall outcome, my husband has noticed how much more confident I am with my smile.  I would have no hesitation to recommend Dr Khan and the Rockingham House team at Fitzwilliam to anyone. Delightful people to do business with and they are now my regular dental practice."

Jayne E. Crossley

 

"I have been coming to this practice for 20 years with my husband and 2 children. Sharif was recommended by a family member and he was brilliant with the children when they were little and has continued to be an extremely caring and friendly dentist with the children as they have grown up. I have always been impressed with the high quality of treatment that Sharif provides with his dental work and therefore felt confident that his cosmetic dentistry would be of a very high standard too.
My front teeth were overlapping and wearing away and I hated having my photo taken and was very self-conscious about my smile. Sharif did 4 porcelain veneers and transformed my smile and dramatically improved my self confidence. I am now at the front of every photo with a big grin!
Sharif and his team were fantastic at looking after me and have excellent customer service skills.
I am delighted with the results and would recommend it to anyone that is thinking about it especially with the finance arrangements you can take up to spread the cost. I should have done it ages ago!
I would highly recommend the practice to everyone for dental or cosmetic work."

Christine Blackburn

 

"Having not visited the dentist in 5 years I decided it was time for a check-up, and Rockingham House dental practice had been recommended to me by a friend. I explained occasionally my gums would bleed a little on brushing and it was noted I had a few deep gum pockets suggesting some mild gum disease. Dr Sharif Khan recommended a deep clean treatment, with Dr Meera Aggarwal, to remove any plaque from the roots of the teeth under local anaesthetic, giving the ideal conditions for healing of gum pockets. The treatment was pain free and my teeth instantly looked and felt much cleaner. The treatment has helped improve the health of my gums, they no longer bleed. In addition, my 6 week review showed significant improvement where by the gum tissues had re- adapted to the tooth surfaces which can help prevent any tooth or bone loss in the future.

All the staff were really friendly, professional and I would definitely recommend both the deep clean treatment where appropriate and Rockingham House dental practice."

Carli Stead

 

"Several years ago I required an implant and was recommended to Rockingham House Dental Practice by my own dentist, who did not carry out implants. Given the fact it was a front tooth and the first implant I ever had, I’m sure people can appreciate that it was a daunting and nerve racking time to see a different dentist and have a key procedure.  However, as soon as I walked into Rockingham House Dental Practice my level of apprehension dissipated quickly. The environment, professionalism and courtesy were outstanding. I felt at ease during each visit and knew I was in competent hands. Since that time I have not encountered any problems with the implant. Having told family, friends and students that it is an implant they are astounded; they can’t tell which the implant is. I am extremely grateful to Dr Khan and his team and highly recommend Rockingham House to anyone requiring first class dental services."

Jamie Carruthers

 

"After watching both my children have orthodontic treatment resulting in beautiful smiles, I was disappointed that the same options had not been available to me during my adolescent years. I did not enjoy smiling at anything as my front teeth I felt were very unattractive. From my first visit with Sharif I was put completely at ease and reassured that what I was hoping for was certainly achievable. I began with a period of whitening and the results were quickly visible. I then returned to have a consultation which resulted in a plan of treatment to have two veneers fitted and two teeth reshaped. I was immediately delighted with the results that this treatment gave me. I now can't stop smiling and I am constantly amazed that the perfect teeth I see in the mirror really do belong to me! Sharif was at all times professional whilst ensuring that I was put at ease by explaining each step of the treatment as he was working his magic. I would definitely recommend his services and only wish that I had not waited until just before my 50th birthday to achieve the smile that I had always longed for."

Lyn Cattell

 

"When I was in my early 20's I was unfortunate to be hit by a cricket ball, which removed one of my upper middle teeth. I spent years with a bridge in place, but after a number of years one of the pillars holding my bridge failed so therefore I lost my two upper front teeth.

I was recommended to see Dr Meera Aggarwal at Rockingham House who I must say with her and the staff they have performed a complete transformation of my teeth. Before having my treatment I would not smile for a photo, but I am more than happy to show off my teeth now.

I cannot praise the practice highly enough. The care and attention that Meera and all her staff gave me was exceptional. I will never go anywhere else now and I recommend Rockingham House to all my family and friends."

John Harrison 

 

"I was advised to see Dr Khan by my local family dentist because of a long term problem with my lower teeth and gums which prevented me from wearing lower dentures with any success. From the very first appointment I was made to feel relaxed and confident with the Rockingham House Dental Practice whose exceptional staff are always thoughtful and understanding of their patient's personal and individual requirements, often requiring additional time on their behalf. Dr Khan's expertise and knowledge is reflected within the whole team. He must be very proud of their highly professional approach, care and service. I highly recommend them for all their expert attention and kindness throughout my lengthy treatment leading to my lower dental implants which have changed my life.

I wish to express my grateful thanks to Dr Khan and his staff for giving me back my smile and the ability to once again eat some meat. This is so much appreciated."

Stella Pearson

 

"I have been attending Rockingham House Dental Surgery for a number of years for dental treatment. I had an accident when I was a teenager which resulted in me chipping and loosening several of my front top teeth. I had them crowned at the time and this was fine for a few years but eventually the crowns could not be replaced because of root damage. I could not contemplate the idea of having “false teeth”. The option of dental implants was discussed and I had the treatment done. I have been extremely happy with the results and haven’t looked back since. The team at Rockingham House were excellent, they explained everything to me in a manner that I understood, and the aftercare was brilliant. I would highly recommend the treatment and the practice to anybody."

Janine Wathen

 

"As a result of tooth damage from playing a collision sport and combined with acute teeth grinding, my teeth were in a mess. I was advised some years previous that it was "just a matter of time" before I would lose my teeth and need to have dentures, so there was a little incentive to seek a solution. The advice at the time was that nothing could be done to rectify the problem.

Following a need to attend my dentist for a recurring abscess I was given a referral to the Rockingham House Dental Practice to consider a solution to the mess. Working with Dr Sharif Khan and his staff in identifying a solution to my problem was very professional, with maximum consultation and exploration of the various options. The results are outstanding and obvious!

My satisfaction with the bridge and veneer work that Sharif has carried out is off the scale and I could not have anticipated being so pleased with the results as I am. My only regret as they say is that I didn't have the work done years previously. But apparently it was just a matter of time."

John Kain

 

"I was recommended to Rockingham house by my dental practice. I had been having problems with one of my front teeth. My dentist had discussed with me that the tooth was badly decayed and if they were to do a root canal it wouldn't be long term so I may have to have a partial denture or implant.  I was very upset at the thought of losing the tooth. Especially as I am only 28 years of age. He then referred me to Rockingham house.  Four weeks later I had a consultation and met Sharif for the first time.  I had discussed my anxiety of losing the tooth and that I had always been very self-conscious about my teeth. I would never smile for photos or in front of people as my canine teeth grew inwards. After the consultation the plan was to whiten my teeth, two root canals, and extractions of the two canine teeth with bridges put in place and my two front teeth veneered. The duration of appointments took over 3 months with ten visits in total. I cannot begin to describe how thankful and grateful I am to Sharif and the Rockingham house team. I feel so much happier and now have the confidence to smile, I feel a complete new person.  Sharif is the best, absolute perfectionist. He was very reassuring and I felt at ease throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I really do not want to go anywhere else in the future."

Rachel

 

"I first heard about Rockingham House Dental Practice on Ridings FM, my local radio station.
It was after my previous dentist retired that I became a patient at what I've found to be a very professional practice.
All my life I've been too embarrassed to open my mouth when smiling because of the large gaps between my teeth. I was therefore pleased when Meera Aggarwal suggested improvements.
Using crowns and veneers Meera transformed my smile to one that I am now happy to show the world! The whitening process and dental work were pain free and all the staff were very kind, friendly and helpful.
If you're not happy with your teeth I would thoroughly recommend the treatment it's given me so much more confidence and I'm left wondering why I didn't do it years ago!!"

Angela Jubb

 

"Having grown up with soft and standard teeth and endured painful ineffective treatment for close on fifty years, it was with some reluctance that I agreed to treatment at Rockingham House. It was a case of now or never!
Dr Sharif Khan quickly put me at ease, explaining that a combination of procedures from crowns to implants could resolve my problem. Certainly by massaging my gums before all injections, he made me a major point of the pain I had experienced in the past painless. Dr Khan's ability to carry the patient along with the treatment should not be underestimated as well as his frequent enquiries that the patient is happy and pain free. Many temporary treatments were given so that I was never left with a job looking half done, I am now able to eat anything that I put my mind to. In other words I am very happy with my full set of porcelain teeth that look as good as a young healthy man's teeth without that irritating "other planet look" and I recommend Dr Khan to all my friends who tell me how well I am looking". 

Nigel Pratt 

 

"About two years ago I changed dentists on recommendation to Rockingham House Dental Practice. Over the months, I attended regularly and gradually became less anxious after bad experiences of visiting the dentist as a child, which was predominantly as a result of the extreme kindness and consideration shown by all the staff at the practice. I decided on cosmetic dentistry to sort out my front teeth, and this also included having my teeth whitened.
Over the following three months my treatment commenced and together with the patience and professionalism shown to me by Dr Khan the transformation began! The results were fantastic and made a huge impact on my confidence and self-esteem and people began noticing my teeth for the right reasons! I even find myself smiling more!
I am planning to have an additional procedure to straighten my bottom teeth and would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Khan at Rockingham House Dental Practice for cosmetic dentistry. The results have been amazing but in addition the way in which it was carried out has helped me overcome a fear that had manifested itself over the last 35 years"

Sharon Skidmore

 

"I had seen numerous adverts in Yorkshire Life magazine. I think the photo of the team at Rockingham House may help patients who are apprehensive about booking an initial appointment. It certainly worked for me.

My usual dentist told me that I had to have a front tooth removed, and I was shocked that I would be left with a gap or a denture. My treatment involved a ceramic bridge to replace the gap, followed by veneers to cover crooked teeth and then recontouring and whitening. I was amazed by Sharif's ability to talk me through a course of treatment, and also by his professional, relaxed and calm manner.

I am highly delighted with the care, the treatment and the final result from Rockingham House and am happy to recommend to family and friends. 

Many thanks to Sharif and his team for giving me a smile that I never thought possible."

Carol W.

 

"I had some teeth missing and my old dentist could only offer dentures which I could not get along with at all. I was looking in the Yorkshire post supplement and came across the advertisement for Rockingham House. I am very nervous of the dentist but after meeting with Dr Khan he put my mind at rest. He recommended implants, new veneers and a general tidy up and whitening of my own teeth at the bottom. I would finally be rid of the dreaded false teeth for good! Every time I met with Dr Khan and his team they were all so nice and any nerves I had soon went away.
I have just completed my treatment and I'm thrilled to bits with the results. I'm no longer afraid to smile anymore. My teeth look brilliant now and are so natural. I would recommend Dr Khans work to everyone. His team were all lovely too."

Irene Lawton

 

"I was recommended to the practice by two friends who had already had treatment and were highly satisfied. My problem was I had several missing teeth and did not want to lose any more, Dr Khan assured me I would not lose any more teeth. He spent a long time explaining the various options in detail. I decided to go with one new crown, two bridges and two implants.
The treatment was unbelievable, pain free, relaxed. Dr Khan and staff checking you are comfortable and alright throughout all procedures. Nothing like I had experienced at dentist in the past. Usually going to the dentist is fearful, but not at Rockingham House.
The results are amazing, I have got my smile back and being able to eat anything again is wonderful. I would recommend the surgery to anyone. It is a pleasure to attend check-ups, everyone is friendly and lovely."

Elizabeth Picken

 

"I recently completed a course of extensive cosmetic treatment and I would like to express my gratitude to you and your team. At the age of 72 years my teeth although well maintained had become discoloured and I decided upon a course of treatment with you.
The procedure involved having three Procera all ceramic crowns to my incisor teeth and porcelain veneers to my upper incisors. I had anterior composite fillings to my lower incisor teeth and later had posterior composite reconstruction to my two left molars.
All this treatment was of the highest professional standard by Dr Khan and his team. At no time did I suffer pain thanks to the local anaesthetic gels and injections, nor did I have any side effects. I am highly delighted with the results, I now have the feel good factor and I really should have had this treatment years ago.
My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to Dr Khan and to his team of nurses for their professional expertise and to the reception staff at Rockingham House who are so pleasant and cheerful."

Anne Boydon

 

"I have been a patient at this practice since it first opened and cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the treatment I have received over the years. I had a problem with my gums initially and treatment began immediately. Years later this treatment is still ongoing and is keeping the gum problem under control. I have also had teeth whitening and some work done to make my teeth look more attractive. Whenever I have a problem I can ring the surgery to arrange to see Dr Aggarwal and if she hasn't been available I have always been able to see someone else. I feel comfortable with the care I receive and put a lot of trust in the practice and have never been let down. I have recommended the practice to others without reservation and will continue to do so."

Susan Dakers

 

"My family have been patients of Dr Khan's since Christmas 1993 when Sharif opened the surgery on Christmas day to see my daughter who had an abscess on her tooth.
He has always shown great patience with me as I am a very nervous patient. Recently my daughter has had an implant which took several months of work to complete and has been a great success.
All my family are now grown up and have left home but would never think of moving dentists. The practice keeps up to date with all the new technology including the latest cosmetic dentistry breakthroughs. I would personally recommend Rockingham House to any family. The staff are always warm, friendly and helpful and my family look forward to many more years with this well established dental practice."

Linda Waite 

"I first joined this practice a few years ago, the dentist I was at closed down and they recommended Rockingham House, who were good enough to take me on. I had a slight gum problem and a broken tooth which regularly needed repairing, although in reality it needed an extraction. I preferred to keep it and the dentist was quite happy to keep repairing it for as long as I wanted.

I see the hygienist who keeps the gum problem under check and have a regular 6 month check-up.

Nothing is too much trouble, when my tooth breaks I ring up for an appointment and I have never had to wait, they fit me in as soon as possible and I mean within a day or at the very latest a couple of days.

The staff are very professional and really friendly, and I personally am very happy and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."

Mrs P

 

I first visited Rockingham House almost 9 years ago, having been recommended there by a work colleague. It was evident from my first consultation with Dr Khan, that he is passionate about his work. 

I smashed my front two incisors when I was in my teens, which had been crowned (twice) by my NHS dentist. I visited Dr Khan when one of the crown’s developed a hair-line crack. Dr Khan subsequently replaced both crowns to my complete satisfaction. 

I was so pleased with the service at Rockingham House that I have continued to visit there, rather than return to an NHS dental practice. 

All the staff are friendly, and the enthusiasm from Dr Khan and his staff are second to none.

Approximately 6 months ago I needed some root canal work carrying out. Having heard horror stories of the pain involved with root canals, I was somewhat apprehensive. However, the whole experience from start to finish was completely pain free. Rockingham House appears to have the latest technology in dentistry, and Dr Khan's ethos is that his patients experience 'pain-free' dental work. This is all part of his commitment to providing a positive attitude towards dental work. 

I would highly recommend Rockingham House to anyone requiring dental work, or cosmetic dental treatment.

Garry Gibbs

 

 

"My family have been patients of Rockingham House for many years. I personally suffered years of neglect and bad dentistry before I found this wonderful practice. As soon as you arrive the receptionists are so welcoming. You are treated as an individual, the hygienist who is so caring and gentle is always willing to offer advice, and at the helm of this brilliant practice is Dr Sharif Khan and his dental team.
I could not write enough words how myself and my family feel about this team. Dr Khan as an individual is a true gentleman, utterly professional, caring, calming and quashes any fears you have ever had about the dentist. His nurses are the best I have ever known. His knowledge is amazing, his advice is always discussed at length giving you the best possible treatment. Myself and my family all have beautiful teeth and smiles and it's all due to Rockingham House. You simply are the best!"

Karen Knott

 

"I am a client of Rockingham House Dental Practice and I would like to say that I have received a very friendly, warm welcome given at the time I had a big problem visiting dental practices over the past year.
I attended originally for an informal discussion regarding some remedial work on my teeth. Due to the help and advice and brilliant service I received I ended up having all my teeth treated.
I was always given priority appointments around my working schedule and many last minute changes I had to make. The service of this practice is very person centred and would recommend anyone having treatment to contact their team. I have a lovely set of teeth I am proud of!"

Christine Gale

 

"After receiving periodontal treatment for 5 years at Charles Clifford Dental Hospital I was still having problems. My NHS dentist couldn't do any more for me than to recommend I get periodontal work done privately. I came to Rockingham House for a second opinion and to find out if my teeth could be saved, which they said hopefully they would with this course of treatment. I would recommend this treatment to anyone with the same symptoms. I am highly satisfied with the periodontal work they have done at Rockingham House, and in 2 years of me going there my teeth look and feel 100% better than they have for a long time."

Carol Howey

 

"I would like to say a big thank you to Dr Sharif Khan for his excellent work on my teeth and for putting me at ease throughout my treatment. I have not had good experiences in the past and subsequently developed a phobia about visiting the dentist. I suffered panic attacks and constantly worried about my teeth. Dr Khan was recommended to me by a couple of people and I decided to book an appointment to see him. I can honestly say it was the best dental experience I have ever had in my whole life! Everything was fully explained to me and I was given expert advice. From start to finish I have been extremely impressed and put at ease. Even the injections were pain free! I have recommended Dr Khan to my family, friends and work colleagues and cannot praise him enough. I feel so much happier with my teeth now and can't believe the difference it has made to how I feel. All the staff are extremely polite and helpful. Thank you!"

Natalie Haigh

 

“I was recommended to see Mr Khan by my dentist due to blisters on my gums, which I was quite worried about. The dental surgery was very easy to find as it’s on a main road. Mr Khan was very pleasant and made me feel at ease when I met him. He showed me on the computer and explained everything to me. Mr Khan also altered my bite so that I could chew my food better. I have always noticed people’s teeth and I was so happy to have had my treatment done. My daughters said they would also like to have their teeth done too. The care I received was excellent throughout the treatment and I am delighted with the results."

Jennifer Pilmer

 

"A friend recommended Rockingham House dental practice as I was suffering with terrible jaw pain, I think it is called TMJ; it was so bad that it changes your life. A mouth guard, called a Michigan splint, was made which helps my jaw rest in the right place at night; it has been adjusted over several appointments and has worked really well. I have been looked after really well, by the whole team. I would recommend this treatment for anyone with the same problem, the results are fantastic, stick with it and it gets better.

I would recommend the practice to any one, so much so that I left my own dentist and have now signed up. Thanks again."

Mike Cook

 

"I was referred by my own dentist as I had been diagnosed with gum disease. It was decided that a course of periodontal treatment over a period of approximately 6 months would be the best solution. Dr Khan, Dr Aggarwal and their staff looked after me during my treatment in a professional and caring manner and I am delighted with the results.  The treatment has cured the gum disease, and with continued effort to keep my teeth and gums free of disease by a simple daily routine of 6 minutes, I will be able to maintain this significant improvement. I have told friends how successful this treatment has been and have recommended the practice to them."

Stephanie Woodhead

 

"I was suffering from jaw pain and after visiting the dentist and the doctors I was no better. My husband was talking to a friend of his and he recommended Doctor Sharif Khan at Rockingham House after being treated there with excellent results so I booked a consultation with Doctor Khan. Right away he put me at ease and diagnosed the problem. He gave me medication to ease the pain and told me I needed a splint for my teeth, to be fitted before going to sleep. After two nights use the pain faded away and I felt a different person. I also saw the hygienist at the practice who gave me advice on after care. In conclusion my treatment by Doctor Khan and his team was very professional in every way and I would recommend this first class dental practise to anyone."

Patricia Rayner

 

"I would just like to express my complete satisfaction at the outcome of the implants I received recently and thank Dr Khan and the staff at Rockingham House for their excellent service. Initially I visited the dentist because my dentures were loose and causing me great distress when eating and causing me to retch constantly. I made an enquiry about possible implants and was advised to have a CT scan because of possible lack of bone density. This proved to be correct and the dentist informed about a new procedure to enable me to receive the implants which I accepted. My care was second to none throughout the treatment given I was treated with respect and courtesy. I am extremely satisfied with the results and I fully recommend to anyone who may be thinking about having implants to enquire with confidence."

Elizabeth Moxon

 

"I was referred to Rockingham House by my own dentist; my main problem was the need for root canal treatment. After the initial consultation I opted for additional work to improve the appearance of my teeth including teeth whitening and the replacement of a front tooth crown.

I was very happy with the way I was looked after, the receptionists were especially efficient, friendly and professional. I am very pleased with the results; they have certainly boosted my confidence. I have no hesitation in recommending the practice to friends and family."

Ian Hope

 

“I have been a patient of Dr Khan’s for five years or more and in this time I have had to have many procedures to rectify years of neglect and bad dentistry. Dr Khan is the quintessential professional and his dentistry is both gentle but extremely effective. Dr Khan and his team are meticulous and conscientious. I now have teeth that I am proud of and that is thanks to Dr Khan’s skill with the “tools” I can highly recommend Rockingham House Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry.”

Sarah Jordan

 

"I've lived in a number of different places up to now so getting to know my dentist is really important to me. Like many people I've had good, bad and indifferent experiences in dental surgeries over the years , however I feel I have to write to sing the praises of Dr Meera Aggarwal at Rockingham House.
I've recently had a number of visits for various treatments such as porcelain veneers and whitening and I must say that I've never had such care and attention to detail.
Their hospitality, customer care and attention to the finest detail were wonderful.
I would heartily recommend Meera and the team practice at Rockingham House."

Madeline Lloyd 

 

"I wasn't recommended by anyone in particular, but rather found the practice through an internet search. My false teeth, were coming to the end of their usable life so I was looking for a full set of new teeth. I was measured up, and over the course of a couple of appointments/consultations I was treated with respect and made to feel I could ask any questions and make any amendments without being made to feel I was being a "pain".  The results were extremely pleasing, as was the service I received. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the practice to friends in future."

Susan Morgan

 

"Rockingham House Dental Practice and Dr Sharif Khan came highly recommended to me from a long standing patient of his. My front two veneers needed replacing and consequently I chose to complete a course of teeth whitening prior to this. I contacted the practice 6 weeks before I was getting married knowing that it was a very short time frame to complete the treatment. Dr Khan and his team made this possible. The excellent care and treatment provided has given me a perfect white smile in time for my wedding and the results are above and beyond my expectations. I would happily recommend anyone requiring dental treatment to visit the practice as they won't be disappointed. "

Rachel Smith

 

"I had a condition where not all of my teeth developed although I was not able to have implants due to root positioning. I was very conscious of my smile. With Dr Sharif Khan's guidance I opted for veneers and bridgework. I am very pleased with the results, I'm really confident to show my smile and have had a number of people compliment me on my teeth which look really natural. I was really well looked after by Sharif and his team and felt totally comfortable and relaxed during the procedure and would definitely recommend Rockingham House for anyone requiring cosmetic dentistry of any kind."

Michelle Evans

 

"Rockingham House has been my dental practice for over 20 years. Dr Sharif Khan has always given me the best care and of course treatment.
Dentistry is now in a new era, with cosmetic and Implant surgery at the forefront, alongside traditional treatments. I ventured into this area having a cosmetic dental procedure done by Dr Khan a few years ago. I am still very happy with the result every day I look in the mirror.
For those people who want to improve their dental health and wellbeing, Dr Khan and his team are at the forefront in dental procedures. My recommendation goes without saying, as my dental health is in the best hands"

Ms B Poole

 

“I was recommended to Rockingham House by my neighbour who is a patient and had an implant fitted there. I have been more than satisfied by the advice and treatment I have received for both the bridge and the implant I had fitted and also the on-going general dental care. Sharif made me feel relaxed and confident at every stage, from the initial consultation to the final result. Every one of my many questions were answered with honesty and unfailing patience and I am absolutely delighted with the results.”   

Sue Scholey 

 

"My son Christopher recommended me to Rockingham House dental practice having received treatment there himself. I needed to have extractions and implants. The examinations prior to the procedure were very thorough and the treatment, itself, done in stages. The extractions and implants were excellent, and I never once had any pain either during or after the procedure. I am very pleased with the way I look, and happy with the results. I would recommend the practice to anyone."

Keith Kemp

 

"I have recently undergone extensive dental work at Rockingham House, courtesy of Dr Sharif Khan and his team of nurses and I am thoroughly delighted at the outcome, both visually and practically. However, what really impressed me was the kind caring approach from everyone there, nothing is too much trouble as they make the comfort and welfare of the client their first priority. No need to fear the dentist's chair here. I now have a Hollywood smile to be proud of."

Ann Doherty

 

"The dental surgeons at Rockingham House are capable, knowledgeable and extremely professional. All of the staff are caring, considerate and efficient and I have always been treated with the utmost courtesy.
The gentle Meera Aggarwal has managed to assuage my fear of dentists by ensuring that all my dentistry has been mostly painless.
Having undergone quite a substantial amount of dental work during the course of the past year I feel well placed to offer my personal recommendation of this practice."

Linda Batty

 

"I was referred to Rockingham House by my NHS dentist who despaired at the condition of my teeth and gums after decades of neglect. She was confident I would lose at least 4, and that implants were inevitable. Following a rigorous regime of deep cleaning all have been saved and the problems with my gums (which also led to bad breath) resolved by Dr Meera Aggarwal."

Michael Scott

 

"Thank you so much for the dental treatment I have recieved over the last year or so. I am highly delighted with my implant and the tooth whitening treatment. I would not hesitate to come back or recommend you to my friends or family."

Mrs J Arundel  

 

 "I have felt comfortable with all my treatment. All the staff are friendly and I am 110% happy. I am very happy with the service and I would recommend the practice to anyone as it is the best practice I have ever been to! I have never felt judged because I have needed my treatment."

C.Dyas

 

"I was introduced to Rockingham House Dental Practice some years ago by a friend. I have had many treatments there including an extraction for which I needed sedation. I was extremely happy with the care and attention I received from Dr Sharif Khan and his staff and would have no hesitation in recommending to my friends and family."

Ivy Key

 

"After having dental treatment at Rockingham House for two dental implants I found the process pain free and was very pleased with the results and would certainly recommend Rockingham House to anyone thinking of having implant surgery."

Ian Hutsby

 

"I've had dentures made by Meera Aggarwal and I am very happy with the results. I was looked after very well and I would recommend the practice to my friends and other people."

M.Coombs

 

"I was a 60yr old male and a lifetime NHS dental patient who at periods had paid extra for certain dental procedures, one being fitted with a bridge to replace a denture, at the time being the most up to date way to resolve this problem. This was fine until it failed and needed removing, also taking the teeth at each side to which it had been fitted with, leaving a gap of 5 missing teeth in total.I had no other option but a denture plate, something I had always dreaded (TEETH IN A GLASS AT BEDTIME). Not for me, what to do?

My sister has been a patient at Rockingham House for many years and cannot speak highly enough of Sharif and his staff, so an informal meeting was arranged to get information relating to dental implants. On walking into the surgery I was met with the warmest welcome, and then met with Sharif himself, we spoke of the procedure, time periods, costs, but also the possible side effects that may happen as with any invasive surgery. I felt as if I was not only speaking to a dentist, but a consultant in his own right, so up front and professional that I was totally confident in his ability as a surgeon. After the implants were fitted and taking that denture out for the last time was amazing. I am so confident and please with the results that you would not know they were not my own, matching perfectly.

Not the cheapest but the best. Thanks Sharif and his staff." 

D.Hancock

 

 

 

A good friend recommended me to the practice, as I was not happy with my front teeth.  I was seen by Sharif where I was given a full examination and explained what treatment needed to be done, I had my front teeth veneered, whitened and underwent a small procedure to alter my gum shape. I am really happy with the results and would recommend Sharif to all my friends. 

Gary Cunningham

 

 

Myself and my husband were recommended to the practice by our local dentist, Mrs Ellis over the last two years due to the complex nature of the treatment required.

I had to have a tooth implant and my husband required a root canal treatment.

Both of us received an initial consultation where very detailed information was provided in a way that we could understand. We both decided to proceed with the treatments and we are both delighted with the results. During the whole process we were both kept fully informed and the service and treatment was exemplary.

We have both recommended Dr Khan to our friends and would not hesitate to do so in the future. The whole team offer a very efficient experience and you feel confident not only in the result but in the long term care of the practice.

Thanks for your friendly and professional service.

Linda and John Fearnley

 

 

Having been told by my dentist that he was unable to replace the bridge for my front teeth, he recommended that I have a consultation with Dr Khan.  

Having met with Dr Khan who explained all of the steps of the procedures and assuring me that the whole experience would be painless. I was still skeptical.

None the less I decided to go ahead.

Having had a CT scan my bridge work was removed using special forceps which removed it in seconds. The implants were then fitted using keyhole surgery. As promised by Dr Khan no pain due to the use of ‘THE WAND’ an electronic numbing system.

After the final work was completed and I looked in the mirror I couldn’t tell which were the implants and which ones were my teeth, the colours matched perfectly.

Finally after many years I’m able to bite into an apple without fear of breaking my dental work. Thank you for this.

During my visits to Rockingham House all of the staff were always friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Rockingham House to my family and friends.

David Jeff

 

I was recommended to your practice by my dentist, and you came with a glowing recommendation from her.  

I came to you to have two lower jaw implants following having the original teeth removed.

The standard of treatment from start to finish has been incredible, the way the whole process was explained in detail and the care provided was excellent. Your unique enthusiasm and dedication gave me the confidence to have such a major procedure, to the extent that I will be returning to have more treatment in the future.

I have been singing your praises to work colleagues and friends.

Thank you and all the staff at Rockingham for this high level of service.

Shirley Harris

 

I was recommended by friends who had already visited Rockingham House and they were very happy with the treatment they received, so I decided to register, the problem was my teeth were in very poor condition due to chemotherapy that I had previously. I was very aware of my poor teeth and covered my mouth when talking as didn’t want people to see them.  I am very nervous of dentists but when I first saw Meera she put me at ease and explained every stage that would be required to rectify them, the treatment was painless and comfortable and I am delighted with the results. It has boosted my confidence no end and I now look forward to visiting Rockingham House as I know I will be well looked after. It has been an investment worth making and I now recommend Rockingham House whenever I can to friends and family.

Joy Harrison

 

I had become used to my appearance over the years, that's what you do, you blank it out and get on with life but you store up problems and that's what I did. I covered my mouth with my hands when I spoke to people, even family members, simply to hide my embarrassment. I tried not to laugh in public, if I did I quickly covered my mouth. I spent a lot of time with my hand over my mouth, to such an extent I didn't realise I was doing it anymore until someone pointed it out. I couldn't wear a denture as it made me gag, so this was my life. My confidence in social situations was low and even worse in the company of strangers.

I was recommended to visit Rockingham House by my own dentist who knew me well and fully understood the problems I was having with my teeth and wearing dentures, not just physically but mentally as well. She also appreciated that I wouldn't go to just anyone for this treatment and needed someone who was caring and understanding and offered more than a 'simple operation'

From the moment I stepped into Rockingham House it felt right. The very first staff you meet at reception are friendly, professional and welcoming and I felt at ease from the start, something that was vital for me to get over a mental block that had deterred me from having my teeth fixed for well over a decade.

I then met Sharif for the first time and instantly struck up a rapport with someone that clearly cared about his patients. He took me through everything that would happen and put my overactive mind to rest and reassured me that he could give me what I wanted and the end result would be worthwhile. Through every single step of the journey both Sharif and his incredible staff made me feel relaxed, at ease and confident that I was not only doing the right thing but I was in safe hands.

I was a little unimpressed with the temporary bridge I had to wear until my permanent one was made as it was a copy of my original teeth, I worried again about it looking odd and looking like dentures. It was a silly thing to worry about and it was all part of my low confidence. When the new bridge came, the one that I was going to wear forever and I first saw it, I realised even more how silly that was. Even though I needed to become accustomed to my new look it already looked so much better and for the first time in years I could smile without putting my hand over my mouth.

Every single person that knows me and seen the transformation has commented on how great I look now, especially my smile. I never really thought I'd get that back, but here it is and when I look in the mirror now, it actually makes me smile. My lack of confidence has gone and it has returned me to how I was many years ago, very outgoing and uninhibited.

The camera loves me now, well that's what I tell myself and I don't hide from it and I no longer cover anything up. I flash the smile at every opportunity.

I can't explain the turn around in confidence. The lift in self esteem this has given me and only wish I'd had it done a decade ago. I spent way too long feeling miserable with myself.

It may not have been cheap but it was worth every penny. You cannot put a price on what this has given me and I will always be grateful to Sharif and his excellent staff at Rockingham House.

Stephen Morris

 

I have had problems with dentists trying to make me some dentures that fit comfortably for 25 years, I had to have the last three of my back teeth extracted in January 2017 and in this time I had become depressed

As I couldn’t get my new dentures to fit my mouth was constantly sore, I had to leave the dentures out when I was in the house myself, my confidence was at an all time low.  I didn’t know what else I could do, so as a last resort I made an appointment to see Sharif.

I attended a free consultation and I wasn’t expecting much hope but he insisted he could improve on the dentures I had, he was understanding and empathic and he realised how distressed it was making me.

I had my first appointment September 2017 and am now the proud owner of a set of dentures that fit and are comfortable, I wear them all the time and I can eat anything and feel 100% better about myself.

I have nothing but great regard for Sharif and his team at Rockingham House, once again thank you.

A friend recommended Rockingham House to me in 2002 after having bad experiences with 2 other practices. Since I joined I have received excellent treatment by Sharif and by all other members of staff who I have come into contact with. I have no hesitation in recommending Rockingham House to friends and family. Plus I am a member of Denplan which is convenient and I can spread the cost of my payment in monthly instalments.

I have just received my dental implants from the wonderful Mr Khan...what a success...I am so pleased with the result.  Sharif is such a gentleman in every way, his consultation was enough for me to go ahead.  The personal service and professional experience has been amazing.  All the Dental Assistants are so kind and helpful with a professional manner.

I would highly recommend this practice to anyone contemplating dentistry work.  Each visit was a pleasure and I can honestly say I looked forward to them.

Having dentures for 35 years my aim always was could I eventually ever have implants. From the moment I walked into the practice I knew I had made the right decision.   I can't praise them all enough...you have changed my life.
