Dr. Sam Sadati Gives Mason Phelps Jr. Something To Smile About (cont.)
Dr. Sadati said he also offers "anxiety-free dentistry" through a sedation technique called anxiolysis. An oral sedative calms patients during their visit and offers an amnesia effect so they have no memory of the treatment after leaving the office, Dr, Sadati explained.
After the consultation, Phelps decided to undergo a total mouth restoration. "The first thing he did was organize my dental hygiene," Phelps said.
Organizing Phelps' dental hygiene included extracting one tooth on the bottom to relive the overcrowding in his mouth and correcting his bite pattern with braces. Phelps also underwent intense periodontal therapy and a rigorous home regimen for good dun health.
"A very important part of out practice is to make sure if we do restorations on somebody, the foundation is great. We don't want to jump and do some cosmetic work on someone who doesn't take care of his gums," Dr. Sadati said, adding that Phelps was an excellent patient. "We were extremely impressed with his home care."
It took several visits over a period of months to prepare all 31 of Phelps' remaining teeth for the cosmetic restorations, including veneers and crowns. After every single appointment I would get a phone call on my cell phone in the evening. He personally called me to check on me and ask, 'are you OK, how do you feel, are there any areas of concern?' I was thrilled," Phelps recalled. It's just the level of professionalism on the part of Dr. Sadati that I am most impressed with."
After almost a year, Phelps was finally ready for a set of temporary restorations. The extended timeframe was due in part to the braces and Phelps' demanding schedule, which often delayed his appointments.
The temporary restorations serve as trial teeth, Dr. Sadati explained. "We want to make sure a patient can function and like their temporaries before we give them the permanent ones," he said. "If there are any adjustments that need to be made, we always do it on the temporaries."
A few weeks later, Phelps was in his permanent restorations - and he's still smiling. "Much to my surprise, it wasn't a painful experience. I've had no problems, no pain, no discomfort," Phelps said. "The end result is what you see today, and I couldn't be happier. Mow I'm happy to have a real smile, and I smile in front of the camera!"
Working with Dr. Sadati changed Phelps' life, and he would highly recommend the procedure to others.
"I certainly would recommend this to anybody who is self -conscious about their smile," he said. "If anybody has the slightest bit of hesitation or reservation, it doesn't cost you a dime to go down and get the consultation. And I would recommend everybody give it a shot."
Dr. Sadati agreed and extends the invitation to everyone, especially those who may believe nothing can be done to help their smile. "I wasn't people to know that there are a lot of options in dentistry," he said. "New science, technology and art together are helping us make a difference for many people who did not think they could be helped. And if people think they need dental work, the sooner they take care of it the better."
Phelps is glad he visited Dr. Sadati's office. "A lot of people have commented that my teeth look great and I have a great smile, so I couldn't be happier," he said.
