Well I had for years, an under bite , a mal-occlusion, and over the course of time my teeth, wore
each other out and so I got to a point of pain
For a number of years, I really didn't have a smile, I had worn my teeth down to the extent
that when I smiled the teeth didn't show. So I didn't smile
I did light research. I compared a couple different companies, I looked at consumer
information, about the different clinics Once referred from the dental office, I did
go in for a consultation and evaluated my options.
I came back for a second consultation and decided to move forward.
I've invested in a number of things in my life, some good, some bad and I could easily
justify the investment in myself I fortunately don't recall the procedure itself
in terms of removing the teeth. I remember being in the room. I didn't have any pain,
I think they managed that fairly well. I was given pain medication that I did take
every 4-6 hours so I didn't have to deal with the pain. And the next day, I didn't have
any. There are hygienic issues that you got to
pay attention to more so than you would do with natural teeth. Water flossing twice/day
it's relatively easy to fit in becomes part of your routine.
The other thing for me and I don't know how significant this is for other people, because
I did have the corrective procedure of fixing the under bite I had to get used to enunciating
with this device in my mouth because it is different than my teeth and that took a little
while to get used to so it didn't sound like I was talking with a lisp…that also can
be overcome you get used to it you get used to the enunciation pattern you have to develop
to speak clearly. I didn't eat certain foods because I knew
I couldn't bite down in the front. I didn't eat corn on the cob and things like that.
there's nothing I can't eat now. There's nothing I haven't eaten that I've wanted to.
People who haven't seen me in quite a while say wow, You look younger
It has impacted the way people feel about interacting with me, whether it's in the office
or kids friends family church friends people are perceiving that I'm more open and approachable
I've got a smile again. I think it gives me as a Professional an image that is critical.
People find me more approachable which is very important because in an executive role
I've got a responsibility and I've got a tough job to do and all that but when you add a
smile to it people find whether you're more friendly or not, people have a sense that
you are and therefore more approachable and easier to work with and they have a different
perception of you whether you're doing things differently or not. I think this is very helpful
in terms of the perception people have of me whether it's personal or professional
They take good care of me. service was excellent. I thought the Staff
is very friendly. Dr. voit is very very personable. certainly if you can afford it I would recommend
it. It's been a slam dunk.
