Patient story: Saving Molly’s smile
Molly’s story | Watch in under 3 minutes
Molly came to Dental Excellence after a car accident left her with damaged teeth on one side of her face, leaving her with a lack of confidence and unable to eat properly. We were able to restore her smile ready for a very special occasion.
as head butler at howard house self-presentation has always been of paramount importance to me however there has always been something missing
i had a car accident about 10 years ago
lost a lot of the teeth on the left hand side of my face and i'd had various problems with my teeth
and i couldn't eat properly and i couldn't smile properly and i did a lot of this all the time
when i was talking and it just wasn't good enough
i hated it it made me miserable when molly came to see us she couldn't eat she covered her mouth
when she smiled it really affected her life um and it's really nice from our point of view we see loads and loads of people like that
that we get the chance to make a massive difference to their lifestyle
i had lots of appointments where i'd come in and they'd talk things through with me
and they'd x-ray things they'd show me things on x-rays and they kept me part of it all the way through there was never a point
when i wasn't sure what was going on or what was going to happen next they always made sure
that i knew what was happening and why it was happening and what the end result would be well molly
actually first came across us at my other practice over in farsi initially
she came there for a consultation and that's classic really if the ethos behind dental excellence clinically she's a challenging case due to the bone loss that she'd experienced there were no surprises nothing happened that i wasn't expecting to happen except it didn't hurt
and i thought it would i always thought i wouldn't be one of the people that cried
and i did i cried when they showed me my teeth i'd given the guys a deadline all the way through they had to have everything done in time for me to go to buckingham palace to meet the queen
and they hit the deadline and the swelling had gone and the teeth were done and everything looked perfect and then i fell over and broke my arm and went in a full pot my arm is sling which wasn't the plan but the teeth were great
and i smiled all day and had lots of photographs taken and i felt a million dollars i've just got all my confidence back they offered me new teeth and a good smile
and i got new teeth in the fab smile
