As a dentist, I often find myself privy to my patients’ good news, like a pregnancy or an engagement. Such was the case of Navika (name changed), who had recently been engaged to be married. She confided in me that she was self-conscious about how her teeth would look on her wedding day. This is Navika's story.
Navika and her mother spent the entire afternoon going through her engagement photos. They could not stop from noticing Navika's smile, with brown-stained and broken teeth. Her smile took the attention away from her elegant lehenga and make-up.
Navika started crying and decided not to share any pictures with anyone. Her photographer suggested that she should smile with her lips pressed and only do a half-smile. This broke her heart.. How can she not smile on her own weeding?
Navika was devastated, she did not want to be conscious on one of the most important days of her life.
Navika contacted Veda and we immediately developed a treatment plan to ensure that her smile would be healthy, radiant, and white in time for her wedding day.
Within a month, she had a brand new smile that, in her words, had “exceeded all of her expectations”. In fact, she said that she never knew she could look and feel so good. I work with men and women of all ages, but it was Navika who made me realize just how important having the perfect smile can be to a soon-to-be bride who is planning her perfect wedding day.
Now, when she looks back at her wedding album, she sees nothing but beauty. She’s proud of her smile and enjoyed with her whole heart on her wedding!
