G4 by Golpa - Jury is still out!!
$29,500
I have struggled with dental issues for the past two decades. This really started after my divorce while trying to raise two children with limited finances and periods of no insurance. I learned that trying to play catch up with your dental health doesn’t always work.
I also learned that society judges us harshly when we have decayed or missing teeth. We are stigmatized as having:
1)bad oral hygiene
2)using drugs
3) being smokers
4) having lower IQ’s,
5) being less professional and successful
6) effects social life and self esteem
That is why I felt like this was an investment I needed to make. I received many quotes over a two year period ad Dr. Golpa definitely fell on the lower price point. He was located in Las Vegas and I live in Orange County, CA. This was definitely a concern when making my decision. What if there was issues etc? Then I noticed he had an affiliate in Los Angeles (part of a new program where he is training dentists that can provide after care)
So I went to Las Vegas during a pandemic my family was not happy to have the procedure done. I traveled with my girl friend. I brought two pictures of my natural teeth when they were healthy and was specific about how I wanted them to look.
I scored BIG TIME Dr. Golpa did my procedure and everything seemed OK. Went back to the hotel slept. Went back the next day and I was experiencing pain. The girl that was going to place my bridges was no going to numb me. I said are you going to numb me? She said no you won’t need it. I needed it after 5 min. she got annoyed and called in a Dr. to numb me.
After they places my implants I was asked if I liked them and I said I am in pain and overwhelmed. I woke up swollen and we left for CA the next day. I did notice the teeth were very wide and big. The front teeth were sort along with all the other and didn’t have a natural arching shape towards the back. They felt way to wide.
I waited to show the family and they all said the same thing so I emailed and they said I needed to wait - which is horrible because they teeth are so big and wide (I have a small mouth ) plus I had these done for an event in late December.
I will say that communication has been very difficult I have been trying to get a November appointment for a week now sent three emails with no answer. This is not a good feeling. I am trying to trust the process. I will keep you
