Patient Case Studies

This patient had a severe phobia of dentists and everything “dental”. After being bullied during growing up, and being made to feel guilty about the condition of his teeth by other dental professionals, he became very beyond us and our friend’s advice. It was a deep emotional trauma that was very severe. We were in communication with this patient for over a year before he was able to come to courage to visit us. The results were achieved by a huge team effort involving a hygienist, pain before everyone felt confident to begin the next stages of this cosmetic treatment. This was achieved with tooth whitening and composite bonding of the upper 6 front teeth. After tooth whitening for 2–3 weeks, the procedure took 2 hours. We are very proud of this case and really think his life will be changed due to the emotional hurdles we have overcome together.
