Treatment Selected: Full Mouth Reconstruction

Sean first noticed his smile was less than perfect when he was 10 years old.  Since then, Sean lived unsatisfied with his smile each day and each time he looked into a mirror.   His teeth came together in a way that increased the wear on his teeth.  Through the years, his teeth became “smaller” as a result of the grinding. Fed up with feeling unhappy about his teeth, Sean made up his mind to update the look of his smile.  Sean contacted Dr. Marashi because he is so highly recommended and because, simply, he is the best.  Sean and Dr. Marashi decided to completely rebuild his bite and smile to fulfill all of Sean’s dental needs.  He now radiates with a bright new smile and increased confidence.

“Everyone compliments my handsome smile,” Sean says.  “All of my friends react with a lot of enthusiasm and ‘Wow’!  I would recommend Dr. Marashi without hesitating.”

Email from Patient:
Dear Dr. Marashi,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for an outstanding job on my
full mouth restoration.  I know we are not quite through but I want to say
your work has exceeded my greatest expectations ethically, medically,
cosmetically and orthodontically. During our initial consult you told me you
and your staff operate at the highest levels and cutting edge of dentistry.
I now know the truth of that statement having experienced it firsthand.

I also wanted to thank you for:

1.  Taking me on as a patient even though I had multiple medical, dental and
orthodontic issues.
2.  Your through and complete explanation of what was to take place during
our initial consult.
3.  For all the planning I knew nothing about to make my new teeth come
together perfectly.
4.  The before and after photos of former patients so I might know what was
possible.
5.  For introducing me to a  very happy patient who had had the same full
mouth restoration that I was about to begin. That really helped me visualize
the end result.  It helped me relax about the whole thing.
6.  For patiently answering every question.
7.  For giving me a vertical lift to my face by lengthening my teeth
8.  For filling out the hollows of my cheeks by building my teeth out
9.  For referring me to Cathy Clarke, physical therapist for TMJ
10.  For having a dental student observe your exceptional technique as you
did the initial drilling. I knew you were trying to show him "perfect" as
you worked on my teeth. It made me feel very lucky to have you as my doc.
11.  For replacing 2 teeth you felt were not up to your standard when I
would not have known the difference.
12.For choosing such an incredible staff to help and support me through this
process.
13.  For not faltering even as we are winding down to give me the very best
of what you know is possible.

I am 64 years old now.  You have given me a new lease on life.  Thank you
again Dr. Marashi,  I hope to be a patient in your office for life. Please
feel free to use me as a reference at any time.

Sincerely,

Colleen
San Clemente, Ca.

Phone message from Dr. Zachary:
“Hi, this is Dr. Christopher Zachary the orthodontist. This message is for Dr. Marashi. I saw our mutual patient Linda. As you know she saw other dentists and she was so pleased with Dr. Marashi not only with his presentation and his recommendations and what he thought was appropriate for her case, but also with his chairside manner. I thought he should know that she was so relieved to find a dentist who is in line with what she wants. Dr. Marashi really listened to her and clearly she felt very, very comfortable. I think this is exceptional and I appreciate it as a fellow professional in the area. I am so glad that she feels so comfortable and is happy with my referral as that is important to me. Many times we aren’t told the good things and I just wanted Dr. Marashi to know. Please pass the message on to Dr. Marashi and have a wonderful summer!”
