34 Year Old Mother of 4 Year Old, Looking for a Mommy Makeover - O Fallon, IL

After having my son 4 years ago, I felt like I was not the same me. I wasn't depressed or anything, but just felt like I was getting a little old and not that same fun young me. So, I started to research some things online about how to fix my teeth. Though, most people would never say anything about them, I would always find people staring at them when I would talk. I was so self-conscious about them because of the spaces and the color and the shape of them. I searched for a dentist that I could trust for about 2 years, before I found Dr. Thompson's office. The thing that she had over every other dentist that I had gone to for opinions, was that she had actual pictures of people she had treated and some models from previous cases laying around. To me this meant that this doctor knew what she was doing. She was confident and very nice. SO I felt comfortable enough to tell her exactly what I didn't like about my natural teeth and exactly what I wanted to change about them. SHe checked my gums and teeth and x-rays, then without hesitation, she explained that she was capable of doing just what I wanted. I had had other dentist tell me that they could change my teeth, but that had always made me pretty nervous about starting the work. But this was the first time that a dentist told me this and I was relaxed about beginning treatment.
I got impression, then I went home and thought about it for a day, then called to book the procedure 4 weeks out. Once my appointment came 4 weeks later, I went in and it took her about 90 minutes to shape my teeth for the porcelain veneers. At the end of the appointment, Dr. Thompson put temporary veneers on me that looked great. She told me that I was to come back in 2 weeks to have my permanent porcelain veneers cemented on and if there was anything that I was unhappy about with the appearance of them, then I had the whole two weeks to let her know. Well, needless to say, I wanted to change nothing about these teeth because I loved them (even though they were the temporaries). Over the next 2 weeks, I got 5 complements on my teeth from five different people that I never knew even noticed my teeth. After 2 and a half weeks had passed, I returned to Dr. Thompson for the final porcelain veneers. She showed me how they looked on the model and I thought they looked fantastic. She removed the temporary veneers and put the real veneers in their place without gluing them down yet. She showed me the mirror and I was impressed. She took them out and asked me how I liked them and I told her that I loved them. About 90 minutes later, she had cemented all of the porcelain veneers on and gave me a mirror. I took one look at these veneers and I was glad that I came to her. The veneers were whiter than the temporary ones, but looked just like the temporary ones, just more defined. Now months later, I still love my teeth and I'm glad I went through with it. I still go to Dr. Thompson's office for check-ups and I feel like I am always going to go to this office. That's why I'm proud to leave this review for them.
