Kathleen’s Journey – Part 1: Where It All Began




Kathleen’s first visit to our office was a step of trust and faith. She had not been to a dentist in years and was struggling due to her only having a few upper root tips. This first visit was almost two years ago. She began her journey by first utilizing the internet to search for a periodontist that was going to be able to meet her needs. We were lucky she chose us after reading several of our reviews. We have been so fortunate to work with amazing patients who have helped share our hard work, so that patients like Kathleen could benefit.
When she first entered our office, we could tell that her confidence had diminished, along with her smile, and her health was suffering.  Overall, she struggled with being anxious when visiting the dentist. We began by a simple full mouth x-ray in order to determine exactly what would need to be done. This was just the first step in the journey, but it helped us to come up with a plan so that Kathleen could rebuild her smile, her confidence and her life. 
We knew after reviewing the x-ray that this was going to be a long journey, but we also knew that with incremental steps, we would be able to rebuild a smile that would bring back her joy.
