Full Teeth eviction & Temporary Dentures Initially was gonna give a not 5 star review, but I’m now (lil over 1 year later) I’m finally glad I didn’t. lol I’ll tell you why: the bad only had to do with how long it took To pull my teeth, over twice as long as estimated; the amount of pain I was in and for how long I had to endure it. I guess that’s universal And would’ve sucked equally anywhere? the office staff, were actually Angels I’m pretty sure, and my experience with the dental assistants and front desk ladies was especially top notch. They were all incredibly sweet and helpful and could tell they really cared. I was made as comfortable as possible, and the amount of turnaround time from me finally deciding to pull the trigger on dentures to walking out with them in, was I think record breaking?! I made two appointments only a week apart; took my imprints and recieved scripts to fill, then a week later, went in to get ALL my teeth yanked in the same day (by request) top and bottom, which is something not many Dentists are willing to do in my research. So thank you for that. they Sent me home with a bloody but great looking temporary set of dentures the same day! so I went from a pretty gnarly Snarl that I hadn’t showed anybody in years to my cocky, crooked sparkly white grin within a matter of a week. And like I said, I’m still using the same set over a year later so highly highly recommend them for these aspects alone I would like to personally thank you all for giving me my mouth back. There are no words and for the ladies in the office that day sorry I never got to say thank you. Now the downside just so we keep it honest is actually had to sit in my worst nightmare for 4 1/2 hours, and was rushed out still dripping blood. I was originally quoted two hours, But I guess my teeth were determined to stay and could tell the dentist was just as pissed about this as I was, and it showed, but hey, when things don’t go Our Way,, Who? Among us doesn’t get a lil upset. Especially since in his mind I was a pro bono case? I just wished that they allotted more numbing agent for a procedure like that because I could feel most of it and it had worn off before he was done. So I drove home but prolly not the best idea. to go get my prescribed Tylenol 800.. which wasn’t ready and I was in so much pain I didn’t even pick them up. because the sutures were something out of a horror movie, but despite picking out all of the teeth fragments myself over the next eight months because I was too much of a chicken to ever go back to a dentist again, they did heal well and I didn’t get any dry sockets despite being a smoker, but it was also like an all day job keeping everything clean. But they looked great from day one. Just wasn’t any fun having to learn eating and speaking all over again and not being able to chew well for quite a while like months because it’s painful and a heavy learning experience with a big curve. I’m only saying this because I wish somebody would’ve told me what I was getting myself into looking back now. I probably would’ve saved up to have the permanent dentures and the “posts” and bone grafts done but if anyone is wondering, Just having the teeth ripped out and surviving with only the temporary dentures without bone grafts is possible, but like they will likely tell you: IT IS NOT recommended. I (now) Agree fully. I Wouldn’t recommend being broke and hard headed either. I thank God daily I’m still alive and just like every other hardship my hard head has got me into, he has been there and pulled me through, and somehow kept me looking pretty good too 😎with the help of this dentist that I saw in my nightmares for awhile. L😬L. So in conclusion while my experience was a little rough but worth it (now) and their many warnings about needing the expensive gear and grafts That I could not afford; Remain true. .but the job they did for me, was nothing short of a miracle. I no longer feel like dying from the amount of pain my teeth had me in and my smile looks great again. This dentist for the win, thanks again!
