I used to be unhappy with my smile, and as a result, I didn’t smile a lot. I was looking for something that could make me feel better about myself. I had heard a lot about dental implants, and I thought 'this is definitely for me.' I went to several dentists to inquire about the procedure, but every one of them said that I would need multiple expensive bone grafts. I was not willing to undergo such extensive surgery at such tremendous expense.
Other doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me. Then I met you and you changed my life!
You were very reassuring and accommodating. You talked me through everything, explained all of my options, and helped me create a convenient payment arrangement. I felt like you were a person, concerned about me: my needs, my desires, and most importantly, my comfort. I told you about my previous experiences, and you told me you could definitely help me. I had my new teeth all on implants with no bone grafts. It was way more affordable than anything else I had been told, and the same day I got my teeth, I went out to dinner! I love what you did for my smile. The implants look and feel like real teeth! People notice a radical change in my personality. I would absolutely tell everyone to go see you! I’m more confident and I laugh a lot more. I never thought that I could look and feel this good again.
I’m not afraid to smile anymore; I look great!
Clara L.When I first came to you I told you a story about my late husband and how when we bought our first house, we planted an abundance of fruit trees on our property. For years we have enjoyed eating fresh fruit with each other and our children. I always loved picking the fruit a little earlier and a little greener. The ‘snap,’ the ‘crunch’ was always my favorite part.
I’m not quite sure exactly when it happened, but I started to have to cut the fruit up that came from my husband’s trees. The ability to chew and enjoy the snap and crunch was no longer there. I found myself relying more on my tongue movement than my actual chewing motion. I realized something was severely wrong. When I came to you the first time, I had a lot of concerns but became extremely comfortable with your confidence and your desire to help me regain the love for fruit I once had. It seemed like forever ago, you gave me my new teeth on dental implants. No more soft foods for me. Give me my heavy bread sandwiches, the confidence to go eat in a restaurant and to eat what I want. And most of all, thank you for giving me my summers back with my trees of early picked green fruit.”My husband has been raving about your office for over 15 years. He has been asking me to go see you, but I would always say that I have my dentures and I do not need a dentist. But we just decided to sell our house and downsize a little and as I was getting a little frustrated with work, so I decided to plan my retirement. I realized with my retirement I would loose my dental insurance. Even though I haven’t used my insurance in years, I thought this is a good reason to get a new set of dentures.
From my first visit, you were very attentive to my strict demands to duplicate exactly what I currently have, same color, same wear and same teeth. I wanted a spare set that would look just like my old ones. You suggested maybe I look for some old photos of my family and myself and see what my ‘family’ smile was. I thought you were silly to tell me to bring in a family member that looks like me and has the smile I wanted. I thought it was silly but I went home and looked at some old photos and found out how much my face changed with my worn teeth.
I came back with a few photos of myself and a few family members and was so grateful that you gave me the teeth that I should have had for the past 20 years. It wasn’t until I went back to work the following week that people I never knew decided to come up to me to chat. They told me that they had never spoken to me because they thought I was always mad. The simple natural change of my new teeth apparently made me look like a much happier person. I didn’t know it until now but not only did my new teeth make me appear as a happier person, but now that I can smile with confidence I am a happier person. After all of these years, after all these missed opportunities for new friends and colleagues. I’m blessed and forever thankful to you for giving me back my smile.
