Dear prospective candidates for a "brighter smile:"

My story begins a long, long time ago, when my parents decided to have a fluoride sealant put on my teeth when I was just an elementary age child. Instead of protecting my teeth against cavities, for me it had an adverse effect....it stained my teeth and gave my teeth a yellowish appearance, which I have had to live with my entire life. I have always been plagued with soft teeth; thus, I have always had cavities. Without going into detail, suffice it to say that I went to a less than competent dentist in my younger years, and I paid the price throughout my life getting cavities filled and having root canals done.

After I got married, I decided it was time to find a competent dentist who was sympathetic to my teeth problems and who could shed some light on the choices and alternatives I might have regarding the condition of my teeth. After some time, I found Dr. Reddy, who will henceforth be referred to as my "knight in shining armor." Throughout the many years that I have been going to him, Dr. Reddy has helped me immensely, and I owe my dental history turnaround entirely to him. I will always have a deep rooted appreciation for everything Dr. Reddy has done for me.

Because my front teeth have always had cavities, my teeth were really beginning to show the signs of years and years of fillings. There were distinct dark areas that were slowly becoming more prominent. At my bi-annual dental visits, Dr. Reddy would always mention to me what a difference it would make in my appearance if I would consider capping my four front teeth. That conversation took place again at the end of last year, and I went home with a renewed sense of authority that I was worth whatever the cost, and it was time for me to do something about my "smile" once and for all. My husband and I talked about it, I secured the finances to have it done, and I made the call to Dr Reddy's office and told them that I was ready to start the process.

That first visit was a lengthy one, an afternoon in the dental chair, but I would do it all over again, knowing what I do now. When I left that day and thought that the temporary caps looked good, Dr. Reddy assured me that I would definitely be pleased with the permanent ones. When the day finally arrived for the permanent caps to be put on, I was very excited. I can't begin to explain the feelings of anticipation I had.....here I was 43 years of age, and I felt like I was a teenager going on my first date and not knowing how the date was going to turn out.

Well, in case you haven't already figured out the outcome of this story, the result was 100 times better than anything I could have imagined or any amount of money I could have wagered. I just wish I had done this years ago, because my new "smile" has given me a brand new outlook on my appearance.....it has given me a heightened self esteem.....and, most importantly, it has allowed me the self-confidence to feel like smiling and showing off those gorgeous teeth. I have gotten so many compliments from my friends and coworkers, and they can't believe the results either. Everyone has remarked to me how much they look like my own teeth and what a great job Dr. Reddy did in matching the caps to my existing teeth.

In summary, I would strongly encourage anyone with any doubts to put their "smile" in Dr. Reddy's hands and let him work his "magic." You have nothing to gain but a more positive outlook. Although, there is one drawback to all of this.....you might have to contain yourself from smiling TOO much and practicing that broad smile in every mirror you pass.
