:: True Story
After readiing the information on Dr. Munira's website I came in for a consultation. Dr. Munira did a very comprehensive review and gave me several very good options. I had previous crown and bridge restorations in my mouth with metallic margins and discolorations which I wanted to fix. Also, I was not satisfied with my front teeth and smile. My previous consultations had resulted in recommendations for removal of the previous restorations and cosmetic makeover with a very high cost. Dr. Munira informed me that my existing restorations where of the highest quality and then gave me the latest options using Rembrandt Cerinate which could be placed on my existing restorations for improving the cosmetic appearance. This was giving me the highest level of care and at a much lower cost. We used the same Cerinate veneers for my front teeth. I was extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Lokhandwala is a professional dentist, an excellent listener, and is up to date on the latest in dentistry. Also she has just the most wonderful and warm personality. It has been a pleasure working with her.
