BYRON

Byron has become a friend, like so many of the other patients that we have interviewed over the years, but Byron is a little different because this video is the first time we actually met in person. Byron is a healthy, middle-aged male who got tired of all the pain and cost of dental work. He got really lucky with his first choice and went to see Dr. Byron has become a friend, like so many of the other patients that we have interviewed over the years, but Byron is a little different because this video is the first time we actually met in person. Byron is a healthy, middle-aged male who got tired of all the pain and cost of dental work. He got really lucky with his first choice and went to see Dr. Salama and Dr. Tadros. When we were out in Atlanta, we filmed Byron before we filmed the two doctors. Byron was really hesitant about doing this interview initially for two reasons. First of all, he didn’t want it to be an ad, and secondly, he was nervous as to how it would turn out. I think you will all agree. Not only does he bring a new perspective to The Smile Mentor, but we think he did an amazing job.

Lack of a Confident Smile

Your life as a whole was affected by a lack of confidence to smile because of bad teeth.

You Can’t Imagine the Life Change

A talkative person like Byron was shut down by bad teeth, but after the dental work he chose, nobody can shut him down. It is more than the comfort of eating and biting; it gives him more—a life change.

Don’t Be Intimidated By a Dentist

“You know, don’t be intimidated by a dentist; this is your mouth. This is what you’re going to live with for the rest of your life. You need to make sure you’re getting that question answered and you’re comfortable. If you’re not walking. You know that even if you’ve been consulted with the dental practice two or three times, don’t feel like you’re wasting anybody’s time. If you’re not getting the right answers, unfortunately, start over but go somewhere where you’re comfortable and I think you’re getting the right answers.” – Byron

Post-Surgery Pain

IV Sedation puts you out pretty quick with no post-pain after waking up. After 2–3 days, he felt manageable discomfort but not pain like a toothache.

Daily Maintenance to Protect Your Investment

Day-to-day maintenance. Brushing your teeth every meal if you can but water floss and WaterPik are really a huge help. Protect your investment.

Getting Used to the WaterPik

Listen to their conversation on how to get used to Waterpik. It doesn’t take long before you get the hang of it as you do with your toothbrush. It’s just that it becomes natural and intuitive and you become more efficient and effective with it.

TSM Would Have Helped Him Through This Process

“I like what you’re doing. The concept here of giving people honest opinions of people who have had this procedure done to hopefully get them over that line and change their lives would have certainly helped me to see some of the real people talking about it and not promoting a dentist.” – Byron
