Finding a cosmetic dentist requires careful consideration and it seems that every dentist offers cosmetic treatments these days. You are responsible for your own decisions and I believe testimonials on the website do help to select a dentist for our needs.
I had an accident many years ago and my upper front tooth had broken. I was lucky to have an awesome dentist who made the new tooth, so nobody could really tell it was not real. Over the years the tooth chipped (I moved) and my dentist (in AZ) made me a new crown and it was so bad I had to go in several times just to get my bite corrected. ... and we moved for my husband's job right after that to Michigan. I stopped smiling when I spoke so people would not stare at my tooth. I had no idea which dentist to go to, so I started reading beautiful testimonies online. I went to my first dentist in Kalamazoo and he wanted my gum line raised and work on other teeth, when I wanted to start with ONLY one tooth. Of course all of the work he wanted to do comes with a high price tag. My feelings were not good about him. Then, I found another cosmetic dentist who does free consultations and he said oh yea easy job. He uses a machine to make the crown. His machine was acting up and he said I spent $100 worth material and you may have to come back. Meanwhile without my willingness, as I was in his dentist chair, he altered my perfectly healthy other front tooth to match to his crown. I literally cried on the chair and I'm 39 years old. The result was horrible. He also said that their lightest color was a little darker than my teeth and they didn't have any other shades to match with my teeth. I was so mad. I called another dentist and they wanted me to send pictures, which I did. I called them to follow up and their dentist was out because she fell down the stairs and broke her leg. Called them again and they said they will call me back, which they never did.
Then, I found Sharp Smile Center. It took me some time to call them. At this point I was expecting another disappointment. When I called Sharp Smile Center, they told me that I have to pay for a consultation, which I was not happy about it. It was worth every penny of it, I found out latter on!! Dr. Sharp worked on my tooth with tremendous patience. He spent hours of his time and he never charged me extra money, nor did he make me feel that I was wasting his time or I was an inconvenience. He told me until YOU ARE SATISFIED, WE WILL WORK ON this tooth and he meant every word of it. Cosmetic dentistry is like a fine art, which requires time and skill and Dr. Sharp gives that to his patients. He is honest, detail oriented and professional. If you care about your teeth and about the service you will get, Sharp Smile Center is the place. Not only is Dr. Sharp awesome, but his team is as well. They all make you feel comfortable and well cared for. I just want to share my positive experience and help you select an awesome dentist!! NO, I do not get any discount for this testimony. read more
