Are you afraid of dentists?

You know when you are a kid and Mom and Dad always impose on you that fear of dentists. Brush your teeth or you will have to go to the dentists and then you associate dentist with the sound of that little drill he has and inevitably – pain. Come on – Let’s be honest – who here was not or still is afraid of dentists one point in your life.

I proudly say that I was one of them. Being from Brazil and growing up with braces, 2 root canals, racing dirt bikes to joining pillows with a dentist -  I’ve been to quite a few of them in my life . I’ve been to dentists who were extremely expensive, dentists who doesn’t know the meaning of anesthesia, those who are more like butchers and to emotionless ones who don’t realize that because he is not in pain doesn’t mean that I am not either.

Well I have to say – Thank God my ex wife to introduce me to a team of professionals who knows what they are doing. After 25 years I am finally free of the fear and so happy with the final results that I have to share this experience with you guys. If you are in New York City and you need an orthodontist or an aesthetics  professional I would consider giving a thought about Dr. Frank Celenza and Dr. Kellen Mori

Let me explain why:

3 years ago just when I moved to Brooklyn we were home celebrating life – you know young people, and Tequila got into play. Long story short – I got so overwhelmed with the taste of Patron (It was my first time having it) that I ended up kissing the floor so passionately that my tooth got broken.

Don’t ask me how but in these 3 years it never got infected even tho took me 1 year to do an X-ray  to find out it was broken and another 2 to create the courage to do this implant. (That’s where the ex-wife come into play otherwise I think I would not be writing this) There is also the fact that this is a very difficult place to lose a teeth. It’s the frontal where my smile shows the most – I could not afford to be toothless for a day. I met 2 dentists who proposed to do this because of the rare way my tooth was broken. But fear came into play. I knew by looking at this it would be hard because the way the root was still inside me gum structure.

One day I had to remove my wisdoms out and Dr. Celenza did it for me. That’s when I knew I’ve found the right person to do the implant. The great experience started from the anesthesia to  the final procedure. He has this machine that applies the anesthesia – so the fear factor of that huge syringe with that gigantic needle and the mad “i will take on the world face” they all do was gone right there. 2 minutes and ready to go. I haven’t felt a thing! And no pain on the post procedure what so ever. I was amazed.

Mean while (still took me another 6 months after this to do the implant) I met a bride (Dr. Kellen Mori) who is an Aesthetic dentist and I have to say by looking at some of the before and after – I was sold. Got ready to do the implant.

Well yesterday was the day. Dr. Celenza did a procedure that I don’t have words to express how much careful and precise he was. Here is an x-ray of the final procedure.

After Dr. Celenza was finished (an extensive 1 and a half hour to remove that root without damaging the socket where the screw would go in)  I went from his office to Kellen’s office and right there she placed the flipper to cover the hole . (flipper is this fake temporary teeth that goes on the space of the non existent real teeth) I will have to stay with it for 10 weeks so the gum heals so we can come with the final implant and finalize the procedure.But It already looks perfect. I walked out of her office you couldn’t even say I had just walked out of surgery.

First I have to thanks Flor for introducing me to them – I guess that’s why our paths were crossed so I could get in touch with these amazing professionals and Dr. Celenza and Dr. Mori – Thank you AGAIN! you guys are phenomenal – Aces in my book!!!! I couldn’t be happier with the results.

If you are reading this – and you need an orthodontic procedure (wisdom extraction or bracelets or Invisalign)  or if you need an implant and you haven’t considered these professionals – do so. You won’t regret it.

Much love to you all.

Paulo.
