I had a cavity in my back upper tooth. It takes more focus than I've invested in thoroughly brushing the back of that tooth. That lack of investment cost me $1,800. The tooth had a crown and the cavity was too advanced to get at it without removing the crown. Good news is I didn't lose the tooth! Part one is done. I return in a few weeks for the permanent crown and hopefully this time it will be permanent! Flossing, brushing and hydro flossing is the way to go!
After some disastrous dental work my teeth were left looking so bad, color shape and an uneven gum line that showed black roots, I was embarrassed to smile. Dr Brightleaf performed what I consider a miracle, her work is a thing of beauty. Her commitment to staying on the forefront of new holistic techniques and stubborn pursuit of perfection sure payed off for me. I'm smiling all the time now! So happy I found her.
I have been a patient of Dr. Brightleaf for over 11 years. The health of my mouth has improved and my teeth have never looked better. Dr Brightleaf and her staff gave me detailed home care instructions and in following these instructions my smile has smile have improved. In addition the customs bleach trays fit so well my teeth are brighter than ever.
Ana Brightleaf is the type of DDS that all dental care experts will become within the next 20 years. She thinks about my oral care in terms of overall health, a proper bite, and has given me back my smile, and a good night's sleep. She's a big picture person, and I am no longer fearful that when I go in for an annual visit, I will be putting "bandaids" on my dental issues as was the case with my previous dentist. Over the years we have gradually switched out the oversized crowns (as they became loose), and old veneers, improved my bite, and restored the health of my gums. I could not be happier.
