I received this last week from a client, Neil Cooper,  whose patient sent him a testimonial in the form of a song:
The Implant Song
 
Well, said my dentist, I’ve some pretty bad news:
your tooth’s up the creek and I’m afraid you must choose:
between one on a denture you can pop in and out
OR what’s called ‘an implant’ that’ll last just about
til you’re dead as a dodo or perhaps a bit more
as it’s bomb-proof and fail-safe fixed there in your jaw.
 
They’ll fit a rod of titanium into the bone
and fix a false tooth to it – looks just like your own.
And when it’s all finished you’ll be gobsmacked I’m sure
at how brilliant it is and be back for six more!
 
Hmmmmn, I replied…then a quite lengthy pause…
as I felt round my face and patted my jaws,
Will it hurt much, I ventured? And is it quite dear?
I’m a terrible wimp and feel nauseous with fear!
 
He smiled reassuringly and replied: No and Yes.
We’ll arrange an appointment which, I should guess,
will allay all those worries and you’ll go straight ahead
for a brilliant new smile that’ll knock ‘em all dead.
 
So I did. And I’ve got it. And I feel really smashing
even tho’ my poor bank balance has taken a bashing.
But it’s worth it and I’m beaming with a marvelous smile
done by Neil, the ace dentist, who’s best by a mile.
 
And if you, too, are hesitant to take the same path
I assure you it’s painless and soon you will laugh
and you’ll feel, just like me – quite over the moon,
so go visit Neil Cooper and make it real soon!
