I should have done this a long time ago, but better late than never! Was originally referred to Dr Amiri by my dentist back in January this year. The original assessment was totally up front in terms of what was needed and what it would cost - somewhere in the region of $12,000, I seem to remember. Scot or not, I agreed to swallow that, and I'm glad that I did.
I was provided with a detailed treatment plan and 'bill of goods' breaking down the estimated cost. There were 6/7 visits over the next six months or so to have what was left of my upper deck removed to facilitate a full denture there. I also had some work done on the lower deck to make way for a partial there.
The upper denture fits like a glove, almost too well, as removing it takes a bit of toeing and froing. I did have a little discomfort with the lower denture but, when brought to Dr Amiri's attention was quickly solved with a little magic paste to indicate where the pressure point was. I've since been back twice for check-ups - at no additional cost, and am booked to go back again in December.
I joked with him during the last visit that the upper denture was probably downloaded from Amazon, whereas the lower is very much a work of art partially, I believe, cobbled together in his on-site 'workshop'. Has to be seen to be believed, although maybe not to the pros.
In addition to the good doctor's professionalism and sense of humour with regard to my quips and leg-pulling, I also found his assistants and receptionist absolutely delightful in how they treated this old curmudgeon, assisting me lovingly to 'the chair'.
I've been singing Dr Amiri's praises since and will continue to do so, as I continue to admire my full deck, top and bottom, in the bathroom mirror.
You couldn't be in better hands when it comes to a pro prosthodontist.
An old Scot who believes in getting value for his bawbees.
