UH OH STAINING!

Rislaine
Approximately a week and a half ago I noticed something on my teeth. Took a closer looks and saw staining almost between every tooth. I remembered that once I noticed darker areas when I first left the office on March 19th but I thought that it was the reflection of the light on the teeth because I had asked for ridges on the teeth.

Upon taking a closer look, it was actual staining and that is not supposed to happen.
I called the office and told them of what I noticed. Was asked to send pictures and after doing that I received a call. I answered questions from Brit and the hygienist. At first I was a bit surprised at the reasons given for the staining. The oral rinse that Dr Golpa prescribes for use before the surgery, but that can be used after as well, or bacteria in my mouth. I disagreed with any of those because my provisional did not stain. The permanent bridge did not stain, it is only after I made some changes to the teeth that there is staining. I shared this with the hygienist and she agreed. I believe that the teeth were not polished out properly in some areas because it looks a lot like a film between and some what over the teeth. Staining should not occur. All this said, the staff was very nice and I will be going to the office at a later date. I believe that this is just a little hiccup and that it will be taken care of. Will keep you posted!

So glad they are continuing to work with you.  I saw that you found James, but there's actually a whole community of Dr. Golpa's patients (and interested parties) who congregate over on Las Vegas Local's review.  You may find it to be a great resource, and they're very welcoming over there!

Thank you. I have posted before on LVL 's but I am having trouble navigating this site. I am not sure where to post so that it becomes part of that community

Ah yes James. He found me!

Oh!  LOL!  You just post a comment on LVL's review.  You can either use the comment box at the bottom of the review, or you can use the "Reply" button under anyone's comment to reply to that comment.

I'm so glad I asked, because that will never do!  You need to be able to join wherever you want!!!  Please let me know if you need more explicit guidance.

Permanent Bridge - DR Golpa Las Vegas

Rislaine
On March 18th I went of for my permanent bridge. The experience in the office was always very nice and warm.

The hygienist saw me and educated me on more on how to maintain and take care of the implants. I really appreciated that because it was one of my concerns. I was offered the opportunity to purchase an organic product line to rinse and clean with. It s optional, if you do not want it, no problem. I mention it because it is nice to be continuously educated on what you can do or use to help maintain your oral health. After all, anyone on this site knows what it is to have poor oral health.

After that, I spoke with the technician and discussed some of the changes that I would like to make. They took note of it, and as always, everyone was helpful and attempting to achieve the best results possible.

March 19th, I received the permanent bridge with the changes and it looked great! I was very happy!

Then I got home and my family and some friends said that they looked great but that my smile was crooked now! Oh no! I didn't notice that , so we took some pictures and then I saw it. I have a tad bit difficulty chewing on the left side , and there is something sharp on one of the top molars. I am going to give it a week or so and then contact the office.

This being said. If you are contemplating having this procedure, I strongly recommend dr. Golpa's office. If unsure, visit the practice, and meet with the Dr. and the staff. I am almost certain that you will feel that you are in the right place.
This s not a commercial for Dr. Golpa's office. I am sharing my experience, ( and have shared it previously under my post health and appearance) exactly as it was, and with the hope, that it might help someone. This procedure is a big step, nothing to sneeze at, and Dr. Golpa and his staff, have taken very good care of me, and I am confident, that they do the same for everyone who comes into their office.

If you are looking for skilled professionals, who love what they do, and who have not forgotten that all important personal touch, and personal relationship, this is the place to go.

Congrats!  I hope that you can iron out those few kinks, though.  Will you be able to post a picture so we can see the crookedness you're talking about?

Also, if you're willing, next time you update your review, maybe you can tell us what the maintenance is that the technician went over with you….
