I am now 3/4 of the way through my dental restoration with the amazing Dental Design Studio. I had major periodontal disease and had suffered for years with partial dentures and broken teeth. Due to my fears I had not visited a dentist for years and would just see my doctor for antibiotics for the frequent infections I endured. An other reason I would not go to the dentist was that I knew it would end in removal of all my teeth and dentures, and this I feared but with the price of implants in the UK/Canada was just beyond my reach.
I went to Vegas with family and on return a picture of me was posted on Facebook, I looked at that picture and it made me sweat, the picture had my mouth open and it was terrible, it still makes me squirm now. for 30 years I have not smiled with my mouth open and this has also made me shy away from even talking to people, something had to be done.
I started looking at options, in Canada they wanted over $70,000, just not an option. Being originally from the UK I knew that Budapest did cheaper dental work but now being in North America I needed something more local and learned that Mexico was the more local option.
So I started doing my research on Mexico and Mexico dental work and contacting people. I kept getting sales people contacting me and I noticed that a lot of the websites for dental work in Mexico are actually the same dentist and it seemed that when you had a few bad reviews you created another website and started again.
Then one Sunday I emailed a company and I had a reply from a dentist, an actual dentist. And we must of had a chain of at least 10 emails back and forth that day discussing all aspects and my fears. That Sunday in June 2018 I will never forget, it changed my life, if the amazing Dr Aurora from Dental Design Studio had not contacted me that day and been so open and honest and caring I would not be any different today and would still be in pain and discomfort with severe periodontal disease.
In July 2018 I met Dr Sforzina who was my talented implantologist and perfectionist and the rest of the happy family at Dental Design Studio. As I feared I had lost a lot of bone over the years and I expressed my major fear of having dentures. Dr Sforzina understood and with the team did some outside of the box thinking and came up with 3 different options for me.
Long story short I now have all the major work completed, I have 13 implants with no pain or major discomfort and I now have my permanent bottom arch and I am so looking forward to my permanent top arch.
I have a medical background and the whole team at Dental Design Studio are medical professionals who care about patients and providing excellent patient care. Of course money is a major factor in dental tourism it is the reason why people travel to Mexico. But I urge people to not just think about the financial side, please also think about the clinical and ethical side of dental tourism.
I promise you if you choose the Dental Design Studio you will have the dedication of a whole clinical team who have your best interests at heart and will care for you.
