All the way from Cainta!☺️
This patient found my clinic online, sent an inquiry, and traveled all the way here. We started her periodontal therapy in February 2025.
I still remember her wiping away tears during our first consultation as she told me, "Doc, ayaw ko talaga pabunot. Save po sana, pero limited po budget ko."
I told her I would do my best, but there were no guarantees since several of her teeth were already mobile. After discussing her treatment options, I created a treatment plan and gave her the most reasonable fees I could offer. I believe that as a dentist, our duty is not only to treat but also to help whenever we can.
Periodontal therapy can work wonders. Over time, her condition improved significantly. The once-wobbly teeth became stable, with only slight mobility remaining in some areas.
Today, we completed her direct composite bonding. No veneering preparation was done. Through Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry and additive dentistry, we were able to provide the most conservative esthetic treatment possible for her case while preserving her natural tooth structure.
The moment she saw her smile, her face lit up. She was so grateful and happy when she left the clinic. Seeing her smile with confidence again made all the long hours, careful planning, and back-breaking work worth it.
Cases like this remind me why I love what I do. There is no greater fulfillment than helping someone regain not only their teeth, but also their confidence.
We'll see her again soon for her gum pads.
Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity to serve, help, and make a difference in the lives of others. ❤️🙏
