I first heard about Dr. Thomas as a friend of mine talked to me about how satisfied he was with the implants he had done by a dentist in India since few years. I was interested needing myself some Implants, but at first I wasn’t sure about India. When I first contacted Dr. Thomas he immediately responded sending the necessary information for me to understand the basic of Implants and what it involved as a patient. His communication was clear and precise, I could have all the necessary information to think about and take a decision, the price per tooth all detailed procedure and affordable prices. As I decided to go forward Dr. Thomas requested a panoramic X-ray to have all the necessary information to assess the state of my teeth and bones. He came back to me promptly proposing a plan detailing and pricing each part of it. Proposing a concise schedule and timing for the procedure in 2 compact venues. I was provided everything I needed to take my decision. First visit to set up the Implants, removing if necessary teeth, putting the implants on. Creating a temporary denture to protect the implants and allows eating soft foods. Second one 4 to 5 months later to allow the necessary healing and consolidation of the implants strongly settling into the mouth, to be able to receive the definitive crown. When I first met Dr. Thomas at my first visit, I immediately felt taken in care and safe because of his competence and communication skills. All the appointments were well planned for each day until complete completion of the dental work, considering as well how I was after each dental session. The first stage about the surgery was concise and well planned, the time span and speed at which the procedure was done was perfect. I felt all along completely taken in care not only because the Dr. Thomas is an excellent Surgeon, but also for his quiet professional presence and communication skills. Altogether, I am very grateful to him and recommend him, being aware that there are not many dentists I could have trusted to do such a deep work in my mouth a real surgery in the bones. It is a matter of trust and I totally trusted Dr. Thomas because of both his professional and personal human qualities. After the healing waiting period, the second stage happened the same professional Way, the experience was as good as the first time. And the final outcome was completely satisfactory on the functional level achieved as much as the aesthetics level and the human experience working with the dentist. My partner and I stayed at Fort Cochin, a quiet and beautiful enclave, with very pleasant and clean guests houses. Our favourite above all and I can’t stop mentioning it, is the Chiramel Residency, a beautiful well preserved Portuguese colonial house. www.chiramelhomestay.com Fort Cochin is half an hour away from Dr. Thomas clinic, by a regular line with little boat and 8 minutes rickshaw or taxi. It is a perfect place to rest and enjoy some holidays in the beauty of India, a peaceful well taken in care environment, with good and reasonable quality tourist shops and attractions. While many places in India are not easy for Western new visitors. specially while going through an intense dental surgery. I could not have ask for better, all together it has been an excellent experience and I love my teeth functional and beautiful.
