Description
David came to Advanced Oral Surgery of Tampa after his general dentist recommended a molar extraction and implant. He says Dr. Edwards clearly explained all the options and helped him understand the long-term benefits of a dental implant over alternatives like bridges. David’s noticed a major improvement since and says that he’s relieved to no longer have to chew with one side of his mouth.

I had gone to my regular dentist
00:00:07.298 --> 00:00:09.591
who recommended
that I have a molar extracted
00:00:09.675 --> 00:00:12.677
and suggested that it would be
a good idea to have an implant done.
00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:15.013
I guess the biggest
challenge, first of all,
00:00:15.096 --> 00:00:16.472
was to figure out what my options are,
00:00:16.555 --> 00:00:19.600
whether it be a bridge
or to go with an implant,
00:00:19.683 --> 00:00:20.760
or those kinds of things.
00:00:20.851 --> 00:00:25.160
Dr. Edwards did a really nice job
of explaining to me what the options were,
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.016
and also, most importantly,
00:00:27.216 --> 00:00:30.760
what the advantages of having
an implant placed were.
00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:34.070
The biggest difference I noticed was when
I came into the practice,
00:00:34.153 --> 00:00:37.114
I was really impressed
with the professional environment.
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.437
All the staff were super helpful,
super kind.
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.619
The biggest effect
it's had on me is chewing
00:00:42.702 --> 00:00:45.997
because in the past,
I always had to be careful about
00:00:46.403 --> 00:00:48.874
which side of my mouth
I chewed certain foods on,
00:00:48.957 --> 00:00:50.917
and now I don't
have to think about it at all.
