One of the coolest things about my job is to watch some of my patients progress in life.
One of our patients is an avid golfer.
His dad for years has been giving me updates on his progress. He would tell me how he was a part of their club team and how they won the high school state championship.
Liam was recruited by Miami University to play on their college team, but he decided to defer college for a year and dedicate the last year to playing on the amateur golf circuit.
Liam was recently in the office and was updating me on his success in the circuit.
Liam is just 19-year-old and was one stroke away from qualifying for this year’s US Open.
The second he told me, my smile was grinning ear to ear.
I asked him what the most difficult thing about this level of competition is. In half a second, he responded, “Controlling my mind.” He said that there could be a shot that he’s made a million times in the past, but the pressure of the moment will cause him to miss it.
The mind is amazing in how it fixates on things.
I will see patients that tell me they don’t like how a certain tooth looks. They will tell me they are suddenly noticing that crooked tooth all the time.
When we look at old pictures, the crooked tooth has always been there. But now their mind is fixated on it and it's all they see.
We all have these types of moments in our life. The only time we are ready to change something is when it gets to a point that we keep thinking about it.
At Dente, we can help you fix that crooked tooth or chipped teeth or even just a whitening of your smile.
If you want to improve your smile and would like to see how your new smile can look, we can create a prototype that will go over your existing teeth to give you an idea of how your improved smile will look like.
