I approached Clarence a couple of years ago as I had heavily filled teeth, some missing, and an upper partial denture which was very worn. I was so impressed with such a gentle caring person, and also with such a great sense of humour. She did a very thorough exam, took measurements of gum margins, x-rays, and examined each tooth very carefully. She promised me a list of all possibilities in order to save my teeth.
This I received in a very short time, and I could see she took her work very, very seriously.I was given several different options, and possible outcomes. I decided to go for the full makeover, which was a big job.
As I live about two and a half hours from Auckland Clarence made things easy by making some long appointments. The longest I believe was an eight hour sessions with a break for lunch. She even went out and bought me some chocolate milk! I have always had a fear of the dental chair, but have to say after a couple of appointments I actually came to enjoy them, amazingly enough! Another thing I also felt very helpful, keep your eyes closed! Clarence is so caring and gentle even the injections I loathe did’t seem to hurt. She numbs the gum and gets you to breath, and it makes a huge difference. At the end of many months of work I ended up with a smile I could not believe,and also felt I had made a lovely friend. Clarence is a true perfectionist, which I loved, and I am so grateful I had the sense to choose her to do my teeth! I can honestly say that apart from the initial consultation and first treatment, I never again went in there feeling nervous.
