Glenda's Fear

Glenda's Fear

For many years I had, what I labeled, an incurable, unrealistic fear of the dentist. It wasn't a fear obtained through a horrible incident. For me, it was an imagined, "what if" fear. I didn't like having "NO CONTROL" over the dentist's actions. My mind said "What if his instrument slipped and it hit my nasal passage, or worse yet, my brain? What if I had a heart attack from my fear? Would he be able to save me? What if they didn't numb me enough? What if I felt pain?" I used to joke that I'd rather give birth on the floor in the middle of a huge, unknown crowd rather than go to the dentist. Next there were the noises and smells. I didn't want to hear the "whir" of an instrument. I couldn't stand the antiseptic smell. How would I truly know if the instruments were sterilized? My mind just went into a frenzied state. I just plain did NOT like going to the dentist.

So, over the years I had issues which ultimately led to a gap in my smile. I had a temporary "flipper" but wanted a "real" tooth in its place. I covered my mouth when I smiled, didn't like the feel of this foreign object in my mouth and wanted my smile back. I began researching dental implants and really loved the idea. I got up the nerve to, at least, go in for a complimentary exam. My heart was racing. The thought of even sitting in the chair gave me great anxiety. I chose Dr. Hamblin because he did offer sedation dentistry. I called Becky, his receptionist, who is wonderfully supportive and caring! His entire staff is very caring and supportive of each patient.

I expressed my fears and unrealistic concerns to Dr. Hamblin and he assured me that he would make me as comfortable as I needed to be to have the implant. He didn't underscore my fears. He and his staff guided me through each and every step of the implant. I chose the sedation more from fear and anxiety than anything else. On the day of the start of the procedure I was still panicky and scared. His assistant gave me another "pill" shortly before the procedure and the next thing I knew my sister-in-law was calling me to check in on me after she had brought me home. Becky called to check on me the same day. I had very minimal pain and had the necessary medication in case it was too awful.

Dr. Hamblin and his staff have helped me release most of my fears of the dentist and I am proud and happy to say I can go for a cleaning without any medication and a minimal amount of fear. "Thank you" seem like such simple words but they are deep from my heart to Dr. H and his staff! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A testimonial we thought we'd share with you

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.
