I had my whole mouth redone with the all-on-4 dental implant system, at Chrysalis Dental Centre in Toronto. On the day of surgery, within a couple of hours, what was left of my painful decayed broken teeth were replaced with a whole set of beautiful brand new permanent (I cannot remove them - only the dentist can) teeth. I didn't feel a thing, nor do I remember any part of the surgery... I chose IV sedation. Woke up from that, feeling absolutely fine, just comfortably sleepy. I didn't have a mouth full of gauze when I woke up, just a mouth full of teeth.
On the day of surgery and the following day, I had zero bleeding, zero pain, zero swelling, zero bruising. The day after that, for two days, I had a bit of swelling, one bruise, and a bit of pain that was taken care of nicely with just one regular over-the-counter Advil a couple times a day. I didn't need to take any of the prescription paid meds.
I brush my teeth like a regular person, and I floss with a WaterPik... and I have to go in a couple times a year for a checkup and professional cleaning, just like I would with real teeth. My ability to chew properly has been restored so I can actually enjoy the food I like to eat.
Chrysalis Dental hasn't just restored my smile, they have given me back my dignity and greatly improved my quality of life. You don't know just how important good teeth are until you lose them - then it affects EVERY area of your life. Now when I look in the mirror I see "me" again. I have a smile more beautiful than my real teeth ever were. My confidence is back... I feel so good about myself. I look 10 years younger because the wrinkles around my mouth from tooth loss are gone... it's like having had a bonus mini facelift in the process!
Everyone at Chrysalis is so genuinely kind... they make me feel cared for as a whole person, not just my mouth. I feel like a VIP every time I'm there... they always give me the white glove treatment. It's unbelievable!
My only regret is not having it done sooner. I wasted so much time living with the physical and psychological pain of losing my teeth. I absolutely love my all-on-4 dental implants. I can smile again!!! Thank you, Chrysalis! read more
