Update: After Four Months, My Teeth That Were Under Reconstruction Are Completed

I thought I'd give you an update on the dental work I posted about back in early July. 

After a series of appointments, which took a little over four months, I'm happy to say that everything has been completed and I am extremely happy with the results. 

And so much so, I went on Google and gave my dentist a RAVE review which he truly deserved. I've only had one other dentist in my lifetime I felt the way I do about my current dentist. I trust him completely and believe that beyond being an outstanding "technical" dentist, his even bigger talent is his ability to connect with each of his patients, making them feel they are important and that he genuinely cares. He has such a sweet, gentle nature that makes you feel calm and relaxed.  And he is also a perfectionist, which I greatly appreciate. I too am a perfectionist when it comes to my work. 

Because he had many involved dental procedures to complete, each one of my appointments took well-over an hour. The longest appointment, which involved the removal of four old crowns and prep-work for the four new crowns, took 2 1/2 hours. I had to take two pee breaks because I had a large cup of coffee before my appointment that morning, which was a HUGE mistake because I have a bladder the size of a postage stamp. 

In total, I had six tooth extractions, four new crowns, and two bridges. I also had a tooth scaling done by his hygienist. Which, to be honest, was the only service I was not at all happy with. I could tell the second she started working on me that it was not going to be a positive experience. And I was right. She was the only complaint I had about the dental office and mentioned it to the office manager. I won't go into any details, but I'm happy to report that she is no longer working there. Unlike my dentist, the hygienist was half-assed, rude, and had no people-skills whatsoever. And she also tried to charged me for a service that she didn't do, which I immediately noticed on my insurance bill, so they had to credit me for the charge. 

But I have to say, minus the hygienist, this was the BEST dental experience. And I am so glad that I decided to invest the time and money into doing something that needed to be done. 

Below, you will see the completed work...

In conclusion:

After all this dental work, I have officially renamed myself, "The Tooth Fairy."
