100% worth the trip. For years I knew I had to do something about the poor condition of my teeth. I avoided the dentist for 10 years out of fear and also the cost. After my first son was born I finally went in for a dental visit. The appointment was worse than I expected, not only were several of my teeth compromised, I was told I would need multiplesurgeries, procedures, and years of wearing dentures to correct the damage. Then the price tag came, it would cost me over roughly $25,000.
I went to 6 dentists in the US over the next few years hoping for a better solution. However, as time went on, the costs kept increasing, and the pain in my teeth became worse. Out of desperation, I ended up getting a bridge to replace my left canine and over the 2 supporting teeth, and I also had my left molar extracted. The dentist informed me I would need a bone graft and sinus lift within 3 months and it would be very painful. I couldn't have my teeth replaced until I had the procedures. And I would have to wear dentures for roughly 2 years.
Afterwards I was in severe pain. My entire left side of my face was swollen and I had a black eye. I was on pain medication for 3 days. That's when my step father referred me to Dr. Motiwala. He told me about his experience for a full mouth restoration. There would be no bone grafting or dentures. I would have my teeth replaced in 3 days. And, most importantly, there would be minimal discomfort (and no pain). It sounded too good to be true.
After seeing 6 dentists in the US, I didn't believe this was possible. Once I reached out to Dr. Motiwala's office, my fears were eased and they helped me with the entire travel process. From booking the flight, arranging the hotel, and getting information on the travel requirements, they were there to assist me. I immediately felt welcomed by the entire office staff once I arrived in Hyderabad as well. In one 5 hour session, I had my 2nd to last molar removed, the bridge I had placed in the US removed, 6 teeth prepared for crowns, and my impacted canine removed from my palette.
4 implants were also placed. I was awake for the procedures, and it was virtually painless. I left the clinic with temporary teeth while the lab created my permanent crowns. I had no swelling and it was not in pain afterwards ( a completely different experience from my single tooth extraction in the US). Now, 3 days later, I have my teeth in place and they are wonderful. I was self conscious to laugh too big or smile too wide for nearly 3 years because of my missing tooth.
I can't even describe how happy I am to finally feel normal again. I would recommend this to anyone, not only are you saving your time and money, but you will have a memorable vacation at an interesting, incredible destination. It was 100% worth the trip. You won't be disappointed.
