Darla talks about kind dentistry

I had a fear of dentists, and I let my teeth get pretty bad in the back. I knew it was bad. Other dentists in the area made me feel guilty that I hadn’t taken care of my teeth. I came to Dr. Patel and he treated me unbelievably well. It was awesome!

The first time I came in I almost couldn’t walk through the door. It was very hard for me to walk in, but I started talking to the staff and started feeling better. The first time I was in the chair, I was crying and shaking, but Dr. Patel calmed me down. We talked about what he could do to get my smile back and help me feel better about myself.

I came back the next week for my procedure. I had teeth that were broken off in the back, and Dr. Patel was able to replace them with implants. 

I work at a salon, so it was hard for me to not have my teeth looking good. With my implants, I now feel so confident in smiling. I taught myself to smile small, but now I can smile as big as I want.

Dr. Neal Patel can help you

Darla suffered from extreme dental anxiety that was worsened by how poorly she was treated by her previous dentists. Unfortunately, this treatment can occur at other offices for patients that avoid going to the dentist for similar reasons. Dr. Patel knows that guilt and shame aren’t helpful. Instead, we treat every guest with kindness. We understand that some dental concerns aren’t your fault. Dental hygiene is very important to maintain the health of your teeth, but we don’t use that to guilt anyone.

Repairing a damaged or decaying smile is one of our signature services at our office. Dr. Patel specializes in placing implants, crowns and veneers for incredible smile transformations in as little as one day. We have helped patients in severe discomfort recover faster and more comfortably than they would at other offices.

If you are putting off a necessary treatment due to shame or embarrassment, Dr. Patel provides non-judgmental solutions for you. Or, if you are in pain and are avoiding treatment, please come in. We’re here to help! Contact us online or call our office at 740.881.2600 today.
