Success Stories

First name is Bala, and what brought me here was an ad on Facebook, specifically, it was to heal my gums. Like, crap. What?
More in detail, please.
Oh, it felt bad. Yeah, it just made me a bit hesitant thinking like, oh wait, my gums are bleeding. Stuff like that. I felt, well, honestly, I was nervous, because this was the first, I’ve never this before, and when I say this, I’m talking about the LANAP. You know, before my experiences with the dental industry was scary, but eventually it became very comfortable. I found myself able to take a nap during the whole process. So I mean, it wasn’t bad at the end of the day, yeah. I received LANAP, and then I got some Invisalign treatment, so yeah, I think a year ago, and my gums were bleeding, and it was getting pretty annoying, so I needed to do something about it.
You know, this Facebook guy popped up, and I was like, I clicked it, and read a little bit about it, and I came in, talked to the, I forgot who I talked to, but I talked to somebody, and they pretty much helped me out, understand it, and I was like, alright, let’s do it, and then healed my gums, and got into Invisalign, and here we are, a year later.
Yeah, I felt comfortable, very comfortable, usually I just ask questions, and they answer it, so, it’s good. Yeah, I would say it’s smooth and painless. The laser definitely painless, and out of curiosity, I researched how gingivitis was treated, and yeah, definitely laser’s the way to go. If you see what they do to you, I’m like, nah, I’m not gonna do that.
For sure, less, like zero bleeding in my gums, so that’s number one. My teeth is straighter, that’s number two. Let’s see, yeah, a get a lot more compliments, that’s number. Okay, I forgot what number I’m at right now, because I’m a little numb. Three. What else, just good stuff, yeah,
I’d say it’s improved greatly, 10 out of 10, for sure.
Honestly, just go for it, you’ll be much happier. Much more confident, for sure. Don’t have to postpone it, every time you postpone it, you’re making yourself feel bad, you’re wasting your days feeling bad, and with lower confidence, so, miles, just go for it, get it over with,
I would recommend it, because the staff here is friendly, they’re nice, they educate you, very accommodating to you as well, and yeah, they’re just great people to be around.

I am Alicia SeaWorld and I came to Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions to originally just have a retainer adjustment and established dental care and ended up on quite the dental journey actually getting implants, which I had been putting off for many, many years. And I am very excited that I found the office and went on this path. So in addition to regular dental cleanings, I started with Invisalign and um, ultimately with the goal of getting permanent dental implants, I had been missing two front teeth most of my life. And now I have permanent teeth there. The team here is like fast, fun, friendly, which is, um, great. So everybody is, um, super nice, open to answering questions. The office is clean and well maintained and it’s been a great experience. So I was nervous to go on this path, but the team here, like I said, answered all of my questions and kept me in the loop about all of the things that were gonna go on, all the steps I needed to take, um, and help ease my nerves and anxiety. I think from my first appointment, um, just the amount of time that the team spent kind of talking through the treatment plan with me, put my mind at ease and let me know I picked the right place. Well, I am on day one of being fully complete and so far so good and very happy with the results. And feel super confident with my smile for the first time. Like, nothing is gonna fall out, nothing is gonna shift. Um, and it’s just complete. I think just being confident that I can smile and like eat without having to like, take out a retainer or put something in. Just being able to live my life kind of hassle free. I would say anybody who has, has been like struggling with missing teeth, this is your place to go to get that permanent solution. The office just has been so supportive of me through this entire process. I’m a year and a couple months, um, into the plan from start to finish. So even after I had moved away, the team here was still supporting me from a distance and was able to complete my plan.

P2: We have John here. That is one of our long-term patients, and I just wanted to ask John, what has your experience been with our office here at Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions? 

P3: It’s been really great. Everybody’s really professional. All the staff are very friendly. I’ve been coming here since Dr. Tate (not clear) sold the practice.  (not clear) probably back in 1988, I’ve been coming here, long time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’m very happy. 

P2: Awesome. Thank you so much, John. We appreciate you as a patient.

P3: Thank you.

P1: Dentist (not clear) is always amazing, for a few reasons. One, everyone’s so friendly. Whenever I need something, someone picks the phone, whenever. A good example was my wife actually having an emergency. I wrote someone special at like 8 o’clock at night. Someone wrote me back immediately. Got her in the next morning, and everyone’s so incredibly friendly here.

P2: Would you recommend us to your friends and family?

P1:  One billion percent, and I do all the time. So again, one of the best dental offices I’ve ever been at. 

P2: Thank you so much.

P1: My pleasure.

What made you say ‘Yes’ for a long journey from Invisalign to Veneers?

The whole driver was to fix my really bad TMJ. Then we fixed the TMJ with the Invisalign. Once they got straightened what was odd was there were gaps in jagged that weren’t there before which was an optical illusion because I had also ground them rolled down real bad. So, when they were straightened, they were all misaligned. We went to the next layer of the Invisalign to fix what had been ground down

How has your experience been through this journey?

It’s been a long journey because the Invisalign was supposed to be 12 months it got extended by four so but be kind of my way of life. I didn’t really notice them all that time. The last couple months with the veneers, it’s been a journey it wasn’t terribly painful when it came time to put them in, they were done in one week right on Monday and a Friday. So, it was a week or ten days of uncomfortableness.

What advice can you give people in regards to your new smile?

I’ve been told that I’m smiling a lot more now. I’ve always kind of been like that I never thought i was really like that I think it comes across obviously to other people more. I don’t know maybe it’s a little wider smile or something I don’t know but I don’t think I changed it myself but it seems to have a different perception from people you
