Adult Braces Goa

I didn't like my smile and had always been self-conscious from a child, covering my mouth when I smiled. I'm 51 now and had the money to sort my teeth out. I went to Kenkre expecting to have porcelain veneers top and bottom, but because of my bite, Dr Shilpa said they wouldn't last, (my top teeth would end up taking the bottom veneers off and vice versa), although she did say she would do it. She recommended I had crowns top and bottom but my front two top teeth didn't have strong enough roots. In the end, it was decided, (with a consultant involved too), that I should have two implants and 4 crowns at the top and 6 veneers on the bottom. I had two visits before anything happened to agree on the treatment and have an X-ray for bone density. The first visit involved 1.5 hours for 4 root canals. The second visit was the two implants and grinding the bottom teeth ready for crowns and some temporary teeth fitted, (which looked great by the way). This visit lasted 5.5 hours but was necessary to fit in with my flights. Six days later I went to get my teeth fitted and the temporaries were taken off. This lasted about an hour and when the teeth were fitted it was amazing - I couldn't believe it. I'd got the teeth I should have had. Don't think twice - have the treatment! It's pain-free and Dr Shilpa spoke excellent English and communicated with me constantly. It was a third of the price in England. My teeth look very natural. It's a very professional practice that obviously is focussed on the customer from start to finish. I did a lot of research before I went and felt that Dr Shilpa at Kenkre Dental was the one dentist who seemed to understand exactly what I was looking for. I travelled 40 minutes there and back to see her, but it was well worth the journey as the prices were cheaper than those dentists in Candolim or Calangute. A week after the treatment there was swelling at the implant area but this is the natural healing process and it subsides after 2 weeks. It's about 1/4 of the price in England. I did my research in England and contacted various clinics around the Candolin/Calangute area but felt a connection with Dr Shilpa who understood what I wanted and sent me pictures and reviews from past patients. The clinic was hard to find, on the first floor of a block of units. I took a taxi and had to get the driver to call her to give directions. The taxi isn't expensive from Calangute, (£12 return approx), and the driver waited for me, (even on the 5.5 hour visit!). When I first met Dr Shilpa, (with my husband), I knew immediately that I'd made the right choice. She was so professional and the surgery was clean. She was obviously well educated in her field. There was no awkwardness with money as I paid at the end of the treatment. She didn't try to up-sell and even did a scale and polish on my husband - with no charge which is unusual in India when everyone appears to be wanting you to part with your cash! She even said that she'd prefer to split the treatment into two visits, ie a visit, say, 6 months later but I didn't want this so she said she'd do the 5.5 hours on the Saturday to accommodate. She still messages me now to ask how I'm getting on. Very caring and lovely lady who I have total trust and faith in that she will do an excellent job for you. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her practise and will definitely go again for any further treatment I may need. Thank you, Dr Shilpa, for making me smile!
