Smile Makeover Patient Testimonial
In this video, our patient shares his personal journey from starting with Invisalign to pursuing cosmetic dental veneers to achieve a smile that truly reflects who he is.
I realized a couple of those teeth are crooked, and I could straighten them out and maybe make them a little bit wider. As I got further into it, I thought, if you’re going to do that, why don’t you go all the way and get a smile that you might really like?
If I was going to make a big leap into pursuing this, then I wanted to go with somebody who cared and was leaning in on that. I went through the Invisalign process quite a ways before I decided I would like to pursue cosmetic dentistry and go the path of veneers.
Given that you smile so much and you want to keep doing more of it, why don’t you have something that looks great? That part feels good. Sometimes, with my clients or friends, I get it reflected back to me: “Hey, your teeth look great.” That surprises me because I forget I’ve got them going on.
Being able to come and not just have my teeth tended to, but have a connection with the people who are here—and feel like they have a connection with me—that’s important. I feel like they’re attentive and caring about what’s going on for me and how it’s going with my teeth and life, not just, “Okay, what are you here for? Let’s get on with it.”
I feel like Dr. Priya and Amanda and the team here were tracking me, not just where I was in the process. They certainly were tracking where I was in the process as well. But it felt like I was the one making the decisions, and they were the ones providing guidance as to the options and what the impact might be, so I’d have all the information.
It wasn’t just about information. It was about real support and taking a look at how it’s coming along and what progress looks like. It was support and guidance, not just sharing information or, “Here’s a pamphlet,” or, “Now we turn to page 26 of the manual.”
It was pretty amazing to see the computer-aided design representation of where my teeth were in the beginning and what it looks like once they’re straightened away.
To have it turn out as well as it has, and to have my teeth feel like they’re an expression of me, not just good-looking teeth. To have the color and brightness aligned with who I am, not needing to be some kind of movie superstar or weatherman. It just feels great, and I’m happy with what I have now.
Go check it out for yourself. It does make a big difference. I couldn’t be happier. If you need somebody to talk to, look me up. I’ll walk through it with you.
What I think is most valuable is finding somebody who can be there with you as you make your own decisions along the way. It’s not about trying to get to a particular outcome. It’s about what’s going to be a fit for you. Go find that organization that can deliver that for you. I felt like I found that for me.
