I would like to send my gratitude to Dr. Dave Williams and his team at Essential Dentistry in Okotoks, Alberta. He has been my dentist for close to 20 years and over that time, my smile had started to show some wear and tear despite the regular care and attention I was getting. My teeth were tipping inward and as a result, there started to be small gaps at the gum line from them bending inward. These gaps were the inner tooth showing and they were very sensitive and sometimes painful. They were sharp on the edges and more than anything they looked like brown stains which made me feel like they looked dirty even though I brushed more than regularly. Also, the enamel began to get thin making them look a little transparent and not very white. I knew I had to do something, however, when the treatment plan was declined from my insurance company, I could not afford the work required to correct my teeth without a payment plan. Dr. Williams not only put in place a payment plan within his practice, but he also did me a huge favor by filling those nasty gaps and performing some chair-side artistry which not only straightened up my teeth substantially, but it also bought me some time to save for the work I need to give me the smile I want permanently.
I have had trouble freezing in the past and previous dentists had left me nervous for extensive work on my teeth, but on this day, I was almost asleep in the chair without any sedation. He crafted a temporary fix for me by hand and the end result has given me the confidence to really look forward to the permanent work coming in the future! I can't wait to get to that appointment and to flash my new amazing smile without being self conscious about my bad teeth anymore.
Thank you to everyone at Essential Dentistry, especially Dr. Williams who has earned my total trust and is a real artist right here in small town Okotoks.
Sincerely,
Tracy Barker
