Vidadent team is simply outsdanding. They did a perfect job on my complicated case…read more
I am 36 year old, I had poor orthodontic treatment in my childhood, over 20 years ago, that left me with untreated malocclusion, and both upper 2nd teeth missing, leaving wide gaps in my smile, so I learned to avoid smiling and shy away. I was wearing dentures with very tiny false 2nd teeth since my primary school, far from perfect, false teeth unproportionally small, gap between rabbit like 1st teeth that were biting backwards. Poor, poor, poor. Over the years, I was enquirying dentists and orthodontists about possible treatment to my condition, they always said it was not really possible. No space to put bridge, it would be too fragile, it won't look good anyway, surgery under general anasthesia is required etc. At best, maybe few years of orthodontics and then we will see, no promises... My bite caused me overstretch my lower jaw when eating, it started to be painful in the joints.
So I had little hope when I went for regular checkup and cleaning to Vidadent for the first time, but I asked - as usual with a new dentist. They decided it was possible, with minimal invasion or damage to my existing teeth. No need to touch canines, only need to drill 1sts to put crowns on them. It was a marathon, it took many appointments on preparing the teeth with a drill, taking measurements, impressions, drill again.... They said millimeter scale precision was required. I was worried to see my 1st teeth shrinking, I was thinking - how can the small remaining stubs sustain the heavy loads of biting of 4 new teeth? But when I saw custom made metal posts that were to hold mechanical loads, I relaxed. It looked so sturdier than my original teeth! In the meantime, they applied very short course of bleaching agent, not to make my teeth outstandingly white, but to make the shade of all teeth even. Then the crowned bridge arrived, all 4 teeth. It looked good, I couldn't wait to see it in my mouth. Now, I am done; it took about 3 weeks, it was hell of a work!
Asthethical effect - perfect. Shape - perfect. Colour - the technician actually mixed 2 shades to make them darker at the top, like my natural teeth. Bite - corrected. Mechanically - I can bite hard baguettes and apples! I am not shy to smile now. A friend at work wanted contact number to my dentist. My father had tears in his eyes when he saw me.
Thank you, guys!
