Cosmetic Dentistry—Veneers/Wedding Smile Makeover
Smile of the Month
July 2024
Nancy’s smile makeover had been a long time coming.
“I've been wanting to get my teeth corrected since I was eight years old. At the age of 8, I had chipped my front tooth and have been having to bond my tooth, every few years. I've gotten to a stage in my life where the bonding was just no longer working. I developed a stain on the tooth and it was no longer lining up with my other front tooth.”
While Nancy had been dealing with this problem for decades, in her mind, time was running out because her daughter was getting married, and she didn’t want to look “embarrassing” in pictures. Even though it was a bit of a journey, she decided to go see Dr. Mohr.
“I drove almost 90 minutes (each way and worth it) to meet with him. We discussed what my options could be. I never felt pressured on how many teeth I should have veneered. On the contrary, all he kept saying over and over is, “I want you to be happy. I want you to tell me what you want.”
This was refreshing because it was the exact opposite of what she had experienced in the past.
“Prior to meeting with Dr. Mohr, I had visited another dentist in the Long Island area who did not make those suggestions. Rather, the dentist suggested that I'd have my entire mouth veneered. The truth is my entire mouth did not need to get veneered.”
Even though the wedding was just around the corner, Dr. Mohr managed to help Nancy feel like there was really no rush—they would proceed based only on her desires. Of course, seeing that Dr. Mohr had her best interest at heart, she was ready to move ahead as quickly as possible.
“So during that consultation, I decided to take the plunge and veneer my top 8 teeth. I shared some stressful news that I needed to get this done before my daughter's wedding in 6 weeks. He and his staff assisted me in getting in all of my appointments in so that I could have a beautiful smile for the wedding.
Within a few weeks, my smile was corrected and not only did I gain a new smile but I felt confident that I would not embarrass my daughter at her wedding nor in the wedding pictures.”
Even though this whole process had the potential to be quite hectic and demanding, Nancy couldn’t have been happier with how everything went.
“Dr. Mohr is a very kind person who truly cares about his patients and his work. He was concerned with my comfort, the aesthetics of my smile, but mostly my happiness. Thank you Dr. Mohr and staff for helping me look beautiful!”
