Description
Natalie was feeling anxious about getting a bone graft and implant after past negative experiences with dental specialists, but that quickly changed under Dr. Edwards’ care. What stood out most to her was feeling heard, supported, and genuinely cared for, from consultation through recovery. Natalie says the entire team at Advanced Oral Surgery of Tampa treated her with compassion and attentiveness.

I get a lot of anxiety
before going to the dentist.
00:00:09.425 --> 00:00:12.886
The other issue is that I've not always
had the best experiences
00:00:12.969 --> 00:00:17.056
with dental specialists
and not really being heard
00:00:17.139 --> 00:00:18.432
about what the issues are.
00:00:18.515 --> 00:00:23.637
After I came here,
I felt a lot better about the situation
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:26.522
that I had to have done,
which was an implant,
00:00:26.606 --> 00:00:28.680
and I had to have a bone graft done.
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.153
One thing that stuck to me
is Dr. Edward's personality,
00:00:33.236 --> 00:00:36.530
and he's just very calming and relaxing,
and he's funny.
00:00:36.947 --> 00:00:40.357
But he also listens to you when
you tell him what issues that you have.
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:41.677
He always just want to help you.
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:43.880
I think that for me,
that's been the biggest thing,
00:00:43.963 --> 00:00:46.557
not necessarily like,
"Their surgery was better."
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:47.440
Yes, it was.
00:00:47.523 --> 00:00:49.397
But also the way
they treat you is different.
00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:51.334
I think that that's
really made a difference.
00:00:51.501 --> 00:00:55.477
Be as open as possible with what you
want done and what you want them to look
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.675
at for you because they're able to fix it,
and they were able to help me.
