SHE HATED THE DENTIST

“It’s not about the teeth; it’s about the life the teeth inspire you to live”

If you’ve ever found yourself searching phrases like “dentist near me,” “dental bonding vs veneers,” or “how to fix my smile,” only to feel more overwhelmed than reassured, you’re not alone. 

The path to a restored smile can feel uncertain; there is so much noise and misinformation around oral care, cosmetic dentistry, and the smile makeover process. The truth is, possibilities and results depend on the practice, provider and resources available. The right team can deliver results that not only improve your smile, but also your quality of life.   

In this video, we see the endless power of an amazing smile makeover. Dr. Apa’s patient saw her life change with her new smile and wanted to share that life changing power with others.  

We know that a smile makeover doesn’t just redefine your reflection; it reshapes how you move through the world and there is no greater feeling than a patient experiencing that reality. 

Redefining Dentistry

We believe dentistry is about more than just function or aesthetics; it’s an exploration of identity. It’s the moment someone sees themselves again in the mirror and smiles, not just because their teeth look beautiful, but because they finally feel like themselves again. 

When Dr. Apa’s patient first arrived at Apa Aesthetic, she carried more than just dental issues; she carried years of fear. It had been five years since her last visit to a dentist, and her smile was in crisis. Failing dental bridges, damaged teeth, and deep anxiety had kept her away from seeking dental care. 

We understand that sitting back down in the dental chair after years away can feel daunting. This patient’s custom treatment plan was carefully tailored to not only restore her smile with exceptional artistry, but also to rebuild her trust in dentistry. 

“She hated the dentist,” Dr. Apa recalls. “But we gave her the greatest experience. Now she loves coming in. She loves her teeth. And her life has changed.”

A Phone Call That Changed Everything

The end of her smile makeover marked the beginning of something extraordinary. Unexpectedly one evening, Dr. Apa received a message from this patient:

“I have to do estate planning and I would like to speak to you. I know this sounds weird, but can you jump on a call?”

What followed? On the other end of the line, she shared that she wanted to donate 10 smile makeovers through her trust. No publicity. No conditions. Just pure generosity, driven entirely by the life-altering impact she experienced from her own smile makeover. 

For this patient, and so many others like her, Apa Aesthetic started as an oral care solution but proved to be the source of a complete transformation.   

The Power Behind a Smile

Our work is grounded in unrivaled precision and artistry. But great aesthetic dentistry isn’t just about teeth; it’s about the person behind the smile. This patient’s decision to pay it forward – to give 10 strangers a chance to experience the same life-changing care – proves just how powerful the perfect transformation can be.  

At Apa Aesthetic, we don’t just restore smiles, we restore quality of life, we transform self image and create defining moments. For this patient, her smile makeover is now enmeshed in her legacy, setting a new standard for the profound impact of our work. 

Dr. Apa has long said, “it’s not about the teeth; it’s about the life the teeth inspire you to live,” and there is no more demonstrative gesture than this patient’s decision to leave behind 10 smile makeovers.
