Are you like most patients and have a hard time
trusting the dentist? Do you find it difficult to find
information that wasn’t paid for by a dentist trying to sell
you something? Are there any clinicians out there
that won’t take advantage of your insecurity and need
for a solution?

THIS PROJECT IS FOR YOU!

Our heart is to help you answer some of the questions
like; “Should I do dental implants, or go the All-On-4
(All-On-X) full mouth restoration? Is there a good route
to keep my teeth by using ROOT CANALS, VENEERS,
CROWNS, BRIDGES, etc..?

And at the end of the day, how much is all this going to cost? Not just
financial cost, but mental and emotional cost?

This project was paid by the patient for the patient, and we want NOTHING
FROM YOU, except to see you SMILE!

ABOUT THE SMILE MENTOR

There are many motivations for us to do this project and spend the amount of time, effort, and our own money. But the true HEART behind this project is because of my mom, Elaine. Watching what she has had to suffer with, for decades, the amount of “false promises” and failed work, breaks my heart. And when it came time to find a more permanent solution, I just so happened to be placed at the right place at the right time. I had been working with Dental Implant specialists with business development, product development, and branding. I got to see “behind the curtain” and it really made me mad how little TRUE, unbiased information is out there. Everything a patient gets to see is basically paid for by a dentist, and not in the patient’s best interest. They want to sell themselves and their services. SO now it’s time to do what I am called to do, not only to help the “moms” of the world, but all the patients who have lost hope, and don’t know where to start. The goal is to compile any and all REAL information and tools that patients can use to find the right solution, and hopefully, the right clinician and avoid what our family has had to go through in the past.

The Appointed Journey:

ALL THE APPOINTMENTS FIRST HAND

When we started this project, we wanted a way for patients to get a chance to see EVERYTHING before they must go through it themselves. This section of The Smile Mentor gives you access to each appointment before the surgery, such as case planning, scanning, and every other appointment I had to go through personally before the day of surgery. It wasn’t easy to commit to all the “personal and up-close” portion of this project, but it was absolutely necessary to give you the FULL story and not a sales video. Each of the full videos in this series have the chapters already booked out for you if you are short on time.

My hope is this will fight the fear of unknowing along with empower you to choose the right doctor through knowing the things to look for and the right questions to ask. Cheers to starting your journey along side mine.

SURGERY

Not for the faint of heart.

How much happens after the day of dental implant surgery? Part of our goal in doing this documentary for you as the patient, was to give you access where there has not been access, and most importantly, BEFORE you have to go through this process. Even with my years in specializing in the dental implant world, I learned a lot of additional information that I wasn’t aware of prior. Some of the appointments might feel a little long, especially if you watch the entire version but I promise, we didn’t waste time in the video and by investing the time up-front or even during, it will grow your confidence to new levels for your smile journey.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

 

With the actual surgery in the “rear view”, what appointments follow? I wanted to help show you all the work and time requirement that is necessary for the “final set” of teeth. What is a PMMA, why do I need so long for the scanning appointment, etc.. all of these and more are answered through bring you along to each appointment with us.

LIST OF POST SURGERY APPOINTMENT

“ALL-ON-XPERT”™ Clinicians

We traveled across the entire country to meet with some of the top minds in dental implants and All-On-4 experts when it comes to this procedure. We’ve assembled them all here for you and give access to interviews with unscripted questions. None of the clinicians had any script or preparation, which helped the genuineness of their answers. You will be blessed by the shared wisdom and knowledge from these KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders).

OTHERS LIKE US

Whenever you start this process, shame, frustration, and a multitude of other feelings can creep in. One of those, is isolation. We sometimes feel like we’re the only ones going through this, and we wanted you to have the opportunity to hear from others, just like us, and how they manage the process. What questions about dental implants, about the All-On-X surgery, and general fears and concerns are all thoughts and feelings that they shared throughout their testimony. We’re all in this together.

Score Card

Introducing the Scorecard for Clinicians – the ultimate tool to empower patients in making informed choices about their dental care. We believe patients should have a voice in rating dentists, and this scorecard lets you do just that. From Google and Yelp reviews to in-person consultations, you can assess every aspect of a dentist’s service. Our comprehensive questions will even catch them off guard, giving you the most unbiased assessment possible. This isn’t just about filtering out bad dentists; it’s about rewarding those who genuinely care. Join our community and share your scorecards to take back control of your smile. Let’s make dental care better, together! Sign up today for FREE to access

Dental Boards

For some reason, you need help finding the dental board in your state. I’m pretty sure it’s not to grow your Christmas list so hear it from me, “I am genuinely sorry”. My family has had to go its share of challenges with dentists and hopefully you can work it out with yours. But if you need an additional source, here you go. You can locate your state in the SEARCH and just type in your state (with code or full spelling).

FOR THE CLINICIAN

 

As a clinician who is currently using this modality for your patients, or as one who is thinking about entering the All-On-X arena, I want to remind you of the great amount of power you possess! With that power comes a great deal of responsibility! The amount of impact you can have on a patient is almost indescribable. How many other medical procedures have the level of personal confidence at stake? A patient’s smile is a personal smile! They are not just another number to meet quota!

OUTSIDE THE BOX

“One size fits all.” is a saying that we have heard many times but that’s just not the case. We interviewed additional experts about some technologies and tools that can help assist in the healing, pain and maintenance of your new smile. I’m not going to lie, some of it seemed very weird to me before I pursued it but on the other side, I’m here to tell you that these are incredible tools and I pray it blesses you.
