So it took everything I had to actually go to the appointment….I have had dental problems my entire life , but always kept up my dental care. Then, before Covid I saved up money because I was sick of getting done one tooth a year with my dental insurance but I went to a TERRIBLE dentist (little did I know) and literally almost every tooth on my bottom cracked or fell out. After Covid I went back to that dentist and the doors were closed and there were picketers outside, so I was left without teeth and the money I spent and scared and embarrassed. For the first time in my life I didn’t go to the dentist for almost 5 years!!! I researched a ton and while researching Jax Implants and Dentures one of my son’s co-workers got his teeth done and my son said mom he is like a new person not only is his smile amazing, he feels great physically, emotionally, and has a healthy mouth (which we all know can effect your overall health). I went Monday for my consultation and went ahead and left for an hour and went back to do my pre-op all in one day. Every single person that I interacted with the front desk, the hygienists/assistants/staff taking x-rays/pictures, the dentist/oral surgeon, and the Chief Dental Officer Trey all made me feel comfortable. I have to admit when I walked in I was on the verge of a panic attack so my nerves made me “on edge” and not very friendly, but after the entire day they put me at ease, answered my 100 questions, are very thorough and transparent. I am going next Thursday to get it all done and of course I am nervous, but I would not do this if I didn’t feel like it is absolutely going to change my life. The last 5 years I have suffered physically, emotionally, and mentally so while I am nervous and it is a big investment if you really think about it I am investing in my health and my confidence, and can’t even imagine having a beautiful smile because it’s been so long and while I am sure it will take some time to heal and next Thursday I will walk out with a full mouth of teeth and that will be incredible. I can’t wait to see the “final results” in 90 days. I am so glad I went and so appreciative that they are going to give me my life back…..I won’t post pics now but I will let everyone know how the journey goes starting next week and when it’s all finished I will post before, temps, and then the full permanent smile. I know people may say you shouldn’t tell people you should just act like they are your teeth but if I can help one person who has felt extreme anxiety, embarrassment, scared of getting dental work then it will be worth it. So first impressions are GREAT!!! I am looking forward to the next phase and will be honest with my own personal healing and experience. “To be continued…”
