Natural-Looking Veneers, Renewed Confidence
One guest shares how Dr. Uppal’s personalized care and attention to detail helped her feel confident choosing cosmetic veneers, from the welcoming environment to her natural-looking results.
This clinic was recommended by a friend of mine, and I came in looking for a really good dentist. The prior owner had been my dentist for a number of years. Once there was a new owner and I met Dr. Priya Uppal, I felt almost instantly confidence in her capabilities and warmth in her as a person. I found myself feeling thrilled that she had bought the practice and was now my dentist, and I’ve been with her ever since.
They adapt, accommodate, and don’t compromise on their standards, but they are very individualized. It comes with attention and care along with a high degree of skill. That’s very different than dentists I’ve experienced in the past.
Just as they would be attentive to the beauty they are trying to help you achieve in terms of your smile, they provide something similar in the actual physical environment. It does not feel cold. It does not feel clinical. I would say it is sleek and modern in design. It is welcoming, artistic, and attentive to comfort.
I’ve had everything from the ability to dip my hands in hot paraffin wax and leave that treatment on while I’m having a dental cleaning, to having a warm blanket tucked around and on top of me to keep me warm. There’s a full array of music selections to listen to. These, to me, are luxuries that wouldn’t necessarily be needed, but they sure make the experience more pleasant than anything I’ve experienced in the past.
When I first came here as a client, it was clear to me that the standard of care within the practice, both for general dentistry and anything else that they offered—which I didn’t know much about—was very high. That’s what kept me here as a client because I cared a lot about my teeth and my dental care. It was very clear to me that this practice held to a higher standard of care than a lot of other dentists I had even shopped around to visit.
What I found over time, particularly as Priya and the team she put together stepped in, is that they continued to uphold the standard of care around the health and functioning of my teeth and my mouth. That was so strong and so positive that, in combination with conversations around the aesthetic side and the opportunities that might be available for me, I could take that other side in.
I felt so much confidence in the staff and in Dr. Priya that, to my surprise, I was willing to assess the feasibility of having something as dramatic as veneers done. It’s the confidence I put in the people who run and work in this practice that allowed me to do that. That speaks volumes for why I’m still here.
For me, that change was significant. Honestly, it moved me to tears. I have never felt confident about my looks. On top of that, I never felt like my teeth looked very good.
Particularly at this stage in my life, to have an opportunity to have cosmetic dentistry done in such a way that was consummately respectful of my desire to have my teeth look better, but not look fake—to have them look very natural.
Priya did everything she could, which was extraordinary because she is an exceptional perfectionist. She brought that level of attention to my teeth, and she was responsive to what, along the way, felt like it would be not quite the right shape or not quite the right color. She was willing to persist and tweak things to the point where I ultimately feel like what I got was the best set of veneers that’s walked out of this door because they do look so good, and they look so natural for me.
I feel deep gratitude and a lot of really positive emotion that that was my experience here.
