I met Becky over the phone after calling numerous doctors throughout the Salt Lake Valley. It was because of her warm and caring personality that came through the phone that I first chose to make my appointment with Dr. Hamblin. Over the phone I explained my dire situation. I had many dental procedures through out my life. Just about everything on up to seeing endodontists. But I found myself in a nightmare. I had no teeth at all. In 45 minutes a local dentist removed all of my remaining upper and lower teeth. I didn’t feel like I was old enough to need dentures. I was desperate. My first meeting with Dr. Hamblin was very comfortable physically and emotionally as well. He took the time to go over every procedure he felt I would qualify for. In the end I decided to go with Implants. “Teeth in a Day” sounded so far fetched but I am proof of it! After a couple more consults, a very complete step by step procedure list, and cost evaluation, I went in for my ‘surgery’, the actual implants. To my disbelief it was the definition of quick and painless. I don’t remember any of the actual time in the chair and my recovery was one third of what my healing was after my previous extractions. I had teeth! I could smile! I could go back out in public and most of all I could once again join my only daughter in her life outside our home. The impact of having such a drastic situation of having zero teeth, I mean NO teeth, just gums, was for me, life threatening. I was on the edge of considering suicide. All I had ever wanted was something so small, just to be able to have my picture taken with my beautiful daughter. Sounds so small, but it was impossible before becoming a patient of Hamblin Dental. I was back to work in 2 days and didn’t even finish my pain management medication. I didn’t need it. THERE WAS NO PAIN!!!!!!!! Let me say that again, THERE WAS NO PAIN!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn’t have believed that if 100 Heavenly Angels came before me and said that. I knew dental procedures and this one was going to hurt. Wrong! Somehow Dr Hamblin and his incredible staff of professionals have perfected everything about implants. Everything from the impressive location of his office to the warm nature of Becky, on to the very competent and friendly assistants for the doc, but mostly to Dr. Hamblin’s up to the minute current education, skill, drive, knowledge, wonderful human nature, and desire to help others reclaim their lives. Every step of the way I felt no anxiety, and no unforeseen problems have come up. The cost was sizable-but when in return I get to talk & smile, interact with others, I get to live again. How do you put a price on that? I have my life again. For years I had been depressed over my appearance and wouldn‘t interact socially with anyone except immediate family. Now I have that interaction back in my life. So if you can qualify for the financial, have the need, and want the BEST, then Hamblin Dental is the place to go. If my before picture is included in this testimony it is scary, more to me than anyone. I know this, and this was one reason I felt I had to agree to show it and was asked for my testimony. If he can help me, he can help you. I think I have to be one of his complete restorations! It is such a drastic difference, so only click on it if you’re not weak at heart! Drastic Picture Warning!!! These words are just a summary of what I could go on and on about, really, how in the world can I put into words what it feels like to have another chance to live life??? It’s not easy. So if anyone has any questions, ask! Your answers are right here at Hamblin Dental.
