The Challenge: "L." came to our office with several missing front teeth due to an injury. She also had several other front teeth that had older crowns and fillings which were failing due to decay. "L." desired a natural looking result that would not require her to remove an appliance. She wanted a "permanent" solution. The Solution: Dental Implants were placed to replace the roots that were missing. "L's." implants served to support the porcelain crowns I cemented.
I also replaced the older front crowns and fillings with the more natural looking materials we have today. In this case, it only took us six appointments to achieve a beautiful smile for a beautiful lady.
Dr. Mahlin completed the last step of attaching an implant tooth yesterday. This was after a multi-month process of having four crowns attached over multiple visits.
I would not have completed any of this dental work without the outstanding care and compassion of Dr. Mahlin and his staff. I had developed an extreme fear of any dental procedures and have avoided the dentist for over 30 years.
Dr. Mahlin and staff explained what dental work I needed and developed a plan on how to complete the work.
Getting me into a dentist chair is not easy . But Dr. Mahlin and staff made me as comfortable as possible and explained each step along the way. I now plan to follow good dental hygiene with routine future visits.
I would recommend Clarkson Dental Group to anyone with dental anxiety. Dr. Mahlin and staff have experience with dental anxiety and provide professional care with outstanding coaching.
I am lucky to have found this dental group, and thank Dr. Mahlin and each member of his staff for walking me through this process.
