3 months check up!!!!!... DENTAL BOUTIQUE, BALWYN VICTORIA AUST
$27,000
Just went to the dentist for my 3 month check up! Had the scan and my implants are excellent!!! No movement or bone loss...
So I'm allowed to start with soft foods and in two weeks... Back to normal food!!!
It's strange but I really am ok with how I have been eating....
So I was 87 kilos and now I'm 72 kilos.... A loss of 15 kilos!!!!
Best Diet Eva!!!!!!
So now not only does my smile look good, I look great all over..
Only concern was I need to brush a little harder and make sure I get right down
To the bottom of my gums...
But I'm religious on brushing my teeth morning and night!!!!!
I cannot get over how real my bottom teeth feel.... As you cannot complete say this is better than your own teeth...
But for me... These are better than my teeth have ever been
As for my choice in dentist!!!! Thank god my partner found them!!!!
They are seriously the kindest, friendliest and completely helpful bunch of staff
I've ever seen in a company ...
Reuben! You are a genius and one of the most patient, gentle and the most knowledgeable young man I've ever met... I remember saying to you, I am completely putting my faith in you! "Your reply was I promise your faith will be justified I promise" and IT SURE WAS!
i cannot thank you enough if you are reading this as to how much you have changed my life!!!
Thanks to you.... I'm 50 ( in a week) and look fabulous!
Linda and Vanessa... My goodness talk about support!!! You girls especially make me feel like family!
Linda you are an absolute credit to this company and you service and kindness
Is simply exceptional.. I cannot tell you enough for my gratitude to you for all your support. I threw almost as my questions at you as I did Reuben and you always had so much time for me...
I'm sure in some way, it was you that finally helped me make my decision to choose dental boutique.. I had seen another company in Melbournr and found their customer service very pushy and scared me it of it!
SO ANYONE COBSIDERING IMPLANTS IN MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA......
DO YOUR SELF A FAVOUR AND GIVE THEM A CALL... I promise it will be the best decision of your life to make the leap of faith to a new you!
Their phone number is 03 9817 7711...
Cannot tell you how happy I am!

6 weeks in! Looking great!
So a quick update..... First part is I've hopped on the scales and have lost 10 kilos!
Very happy with that. So not only do I have a beautiful smile, I'm looking pretty great too...
I seem to be just not that hungry anymore ... I time my meals to eat around 10am, 1pm and then around 6pm..
Food wise... That's always a little struggle but more about finding food that I can eat with the family... But they have adjusted to help me which I'm very grateful ..
I'm still eating mainly things like individual sachets of protein shakes with a small tub of vanilla yoghurt, sometimes I'm adding raspberries..smoothies, Omelette, scrambled eggs with baked beans or spaghetti, and yesterday made a pancake which I ate very slowly after breaking into tiny pieces...
Lunch for me is either a protein shake with the yoghurt, (mixed it up depending what I had for breakfast) mainly work days as our kitchen is limited to microwave.
Or a banana, honey and cinnamon smoothie.. Or a home made piece of small hand size quiche ( no pastry) or soups.
Dinners started out more challenging at first but I mainly eat rice, most nights with something, like a bolognaise sauce, or a thai curry (sauce ) soups, quiche,
Gnocchi I have managed to eat, and last night made a Shephards pie...
I know others eat lots of fish but that's not in my diet due to I don't like it.
Anyways hope some of these ideas helps...
As for my teeth, I'm obsessed with dental hygiene.. Lol, not sure if I'm using the water pik correctly but I use it religiously.. Lol. I still seem to have the odd stitches showing down the very bottom of my teeth but doesn't annoy me anymore.
I'm loving the bottom teeth and it feels normal .. Top are still a struggle for me on a day to day basis but getting used to them slowly.. They are loose and they said this would happen as gums shrink.. But I'm very nervous about how I will go when I'm allowed to chew.. Hopefully six weeks time!
But am I glad I've done this? You bet I am! People still look at me in amazement! As for myself, I feel like my old self again ( only older lol) I feel great, in back in lovely nice clothes again and dressing smarter, my make up is with care again, my confidence is growing, and my speech is almost normal lol..
So I'm at a 81/2 out of 10... Just waiting to hear the implants are all good and get my upper teeth right and then I shall be good as new... Fingers crossed...

That's so great to hear
Its amazing how much a nice set of teeth can change your confidence and overall appearance! I am so happy for you, I am going for my consultation in the next week or so to look at the option of all on 4.
When you say your speech is almost normal, what are you having trouble with? Pronouncing certain words?
Thats my only concern! I am on the phone and talking all day long in my job!

Hi there... I'm almost three months in... I am a real estate agent and speak all day long... It's nothing really, it just took a little bit to pronounce the s.. But in saying that, my daughter says it's just me that hears it...
Other than that it's the best thing I have ever done! I look great, I've lost almost 13 kilos... My confidence is back and I feel pretty again..
My face was so swollen from infection, that I had no idea it was that!
Do your homework and choose someone you trust... I am still on soft foods but it's so nice to go out and not feel people are looking at me and think my god her teeth are aweful....

Posting for anyone reading this ... if you have good canines on top, a six-unit bridge is a less expensive option. My teeth went from horrid to gorgeous in one appointment, for less than $4K. I might have preferred implants but the cost was prohibitive plus I have bad bone loss (with grafting failure in the past). I don't have my permanent bridge yet (teeth pulled six weeks ago) but if they look as good as the temps, I'm set. My entire outlook has changed, I'm smiling and not embarassed to go out in public. Wish I would have done this YEARS ago.

3 weeks after implants! .. Melbourne Australia
So it's all very good! I'm happy, feeling confident, lost 8 kilos, all plus plus plus..
Went and had my 3 week check up at dental boutique and all is coming along nicely. They did a 3D scan and Reuben is very happy with how the implants are coming along..
Small adjustment was made on top teeth, and there are still some stitches slowly dissolving but no pain what so ever...
I had a professional work photo done and I can't believe how good I look with that smile!
I'm seriously very happy and feel like the old NEW me!
So for anyone out there reading this and are scared at the thought and the process..
DONT BE.... To think I spent two years thinking oh what am I going to do??
If you can afford this, then you can't afford NOT to do this... Even just for your health..
My skin is glowing ( guess coz it's no longer fighting infection anymore) I've lost weight and feel great.
I'm basically only eating 3 meals a day and strangely not hungry... Breakfast I have a protein shake mixed in vanilla yoghurt, lunch I'll have a banana smoothie with honey and cinnamon, and maybe a tiny price of quiche( no pastry) and for tea it's either soup or rice most nights..
As for my choice Dental Boutique in Balywn, I couldn't be happier! Working in sales, I understand how important customer service is...
I drilled Reuben and Linda (support care) with every question and fear/ concern I had.. They had all the time in the world for me.. Explained every cost and process in detail..
They also provide a payment plan to help with the cost of it... Which really helped me!
I had only heard of another dental company in Melbourne and my partner came across Reuben and brought me here..
What made me choose dental boutique was Reuben's passion for dental implants..
I remember saying that I was only choosing him because of my belief of his passion and his dedication! And his words back to me was .. Your faith in me will be justified I promise you!
And I can honestly say that he is so right... Every process was ten out of ten!
So now I wait for my three month check up and then finally I can chew! Lol..
Stay tuned .....

So happy for you !
Thank you so much for all your input and advice.. You made the transition so much easier, by reading your posts and the interaction via messages... Really helped a lot!
Congratulations!
Thanks so much.. How are you travelling?
Yes, amazingly well. I have just got a new job thanks to my new found self confidence. Bizarrely, ended up telling the whole teeth replacement story during my interview when they threw me a bit of a curve ball question - I didn't mean to but it was the only answer I could think of so it just came out. Have my 4 month review on Friday and if all ok with healing I should only be about a month away from getting my perms. Fingers crossed for friday.
beautiful smile I'm happy for you
Congratulations! Your teeth look absolutely beautiful! I'm scheduled for All on 4 at Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry on May 23 with Dr. Arzate, and I'm beyond excited! Only need uppers. Having 9 teeth that are left pulled then spending 10 days there to heal and get my final bridge and implants. I hope you continue to be happy with your teeth, they look awesome!
