How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Another new set
Last month I received another (5th) hopefully last bridges. They couldn't get the screw out of last bridge had to cut it off. My poor jaw was sore for days. This newest is better than all so far but still blocks my tongue causing a lisp & frustration when speaking. I've learned that each bridge comes with new issues. I will need to go back as having pain in one implant area. As well as some inside adjustmens needing made. I still have some but very little discomfort between the front top implants. I think (and I think about it a lot) I did some tissue damage to the gum the first week after surgery. I was very swollen & tried to swish water under the bridge. I felt the swollen gum move out of under the implant.
I wish I could say they feel natural now, I want to badly. Perhaps many are tired of my complaints. I know I'm tired of it.
I only submit for those who are still thinking about it & for my own documentation.

Bridges
Wanted to show y’all what these look like outside my mouth. This was before adjustments. These are my latest bridges, #4.
One year from Cancun mistake
So yesterday is my one year mark from my mistakes made by trying the less expensive route, Mexico. They don’t mention that with expenses, extra time needed to stay, food, travel, treatment plan changes, additional trips etc etc that eventually I’ve spent almost what the Las Vegas doctor charges.
As for Dr. Golpa’s office, I’m at 4 different set of teeth at this point. Lots of changes made, material & shape.
The latest I asked for an overbite to make room for my tongue which is held back & causes me to stumble over words & just stop talking out of frustration. They really didn’t want to make them more forward but even though they moved them out more, I still have tongue movement issues but not nearly as frustrating as before.
I don’t like that the two front teeth are so flat but other wise this latest material is very nice. No dry feeling & very smooth. The last teeth were only 2 months old & very dirty & lost the shine.
They’re having material problems with these new flexi teeth, is what I was told.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with these new bridges, we are working on our new relationship... Still would like to have rounder front top teeth but trying to adjust to these. The techs & doctors have tried to work with me & my quirky requests. I asked lots of questions & learned I’m not the only patient who makes these changes. I guess I’m not that original

Provider Review
I’ve not seen Dr. G but for my initial, for surgery & followup. But the other 2 doctors are wonderful! I’m not a easy patient & had a few breakdowns over the last 10 months. Ashley at front office was very helpful & Cat is so good at what she does. I had a new tech on one visit, that was my least favorite visit. To much open mouth time & not good fillings in access holes. Overall, this team does try to work with me & has always been so kind when I’m there.
