After the warm greeting by Carolyn, I dragged myself back for what I expected to be a usual cleaning. I literally prefer having cavities filled than having my teeth cleaned. Having grown up in the Dental Chair since age three, I’ve never feared the dentist and only had one bad experience when I was about 9 years old. I’m 51 now.
Having found him from 1-800-DENTIST, I initially went in for an “estimate”, with the full intent of going to my (Oops, he retired, but I was comfortable with E.B.) regular dentist’s office.
After my initial check up, which I’d planned on taking my x-rays, I learned not only was Dr. Leghuel did a 3-year fellowship in exactly why I was going in. (Veneers) His price per tooth is < $400.00 LESS per tooth, probably because my former office advertises a great deal, which is expensive. I'd also called around a lot of offices and Fixari Dental was the least expensive and seemingly the MOST HIGHLY TRAINED!
What REALLY impressed me was learning he could polish away a problem with a veneer I had done in Seattle in 1999, where it wasn't even mentioned by my former office. There's over a grand saved.
The Grand Slam in the bottom of the ninth (I love baseball) when we're down by 3 was the entire experience was not only extremely comfortable and friendly, but still highly professional, with a touch of the warm fuzzies.
Again, from the time my baby teeth came in, I was countless cavities. Not because I wasn't taught to brush, but I loved candy, like most normal children would occasionally simply wet my toothbrush and put it back and by bad luck of the genetic draw. This and the 1976 full armor braces (glue didn't come along till years later) chemotherapy 12 years ago and being an Olympic night grinder who subconsciously spit out every night-guard ever tried, My lower teeth had simply had it. My top teeth still look terrific, but nice teeth have always been important to me and my lower teeth were desperate for attention.
Katie's skill during the deep clean also saved me several thousand dollars in what was expected necessary Periodontal work. Nope, she was able to extract my negligence to the point of exposing enough for Dr. Leghuel to work with. With Katie, Hygienist-Extraordinaire, she' was not only sweet, personable, with the patient's comfort a priority, the men will just enjoy looking at her, SHE'S AMAZING AT HER JOB AND CLEARLY LOVES IT!
Now, a few hours later, I have zero soreness (because my type of cleaning required numbing) This is a first for me, and remember, I have 48 years experience in THE CHAIR!
Finally, I was handed my estimate, with the full and ready expectation of paying in the $20,000.00 range, because of the number of teeth I wanted done. So when I looked and saw it under $5,600.00, my first thought was, Round One. When told this was my TOTAL, I thought I'd faint and fall in it! I just saved nearly $15,000 set aside for this long awaited and desired procedure! So, after my Happy Dance, I came home and advised my benefactor, (OK, Daddy) and since I have a dead phone, am eagerly awaiting his response. (Probably after HIS Happy Dance)
So, what started out as a visit to a close-to-home estimate, turned into a God Send. Now, I simply (HA SIMPLY, ME?) have to get my appointments scheduled, which they're fast-tracking due to another health issue I'm dealing with, and am very excited about getting this work complete. Being a Christian, I do not believe in coincidences and anyone who pays their tithes KNOWS God rewards His faithful 10-fold. I was lead here, handed to the perfect Dentist for the job and am very happy. I give the credit to Jesus Christ who has never, nor will ever let me down.
Thank you for reading and may your experience with Fixari be as sincerely positive as mine.
God Bless.
