MR. TRAN LAM PHUONG (US OVERSEAS VIETNAMESE)

"Dr. Kiet has great expertise, so I felt very reassured" - Uncle Tran Lam Phuong's Implant Placement Journey

Uncle Tran Lam Phuong, an overseas Vietnamese living in Texas (USA), had spent many years with porcelain crowns. However, after more than 10 years, the old porcelain tooth system began to deteriorate and suffer severe damage. To temporarily overcome this, he was forced to use removable dentures – an experience that was far from pleasant. Uncle Phuong shared:

"Every time I ate, I had to take them out, which was very awkward, especially when meeting business partners; plus, eating felt like chewing paper."

That inconvenient feeling not only affected his daily activities but also made him hesitant in communication and work.

Gentle Experience - High Expertise and Dedication

The opportunity that brought him to I-DENT Dental Center began with a recommendation from two long-time friends – who had their teeth treated at I-DENT 5 years ago and remain very satisfied to this day. When he returned to Vietnam in person and visited the clinic, his trust was further strengthened when seeing firsthand "so many foreign patients" coming for examination and treatment here. For him, that was clear proof of the prestige and quality that I-DENT had built.

At I-DENT, Uncle Lam Phuong was prescribed 4 upper implants, 2 lower implants, and the extraction of 7 damaged teeth. This was a complex procedure, yet the experience he received was completely contrary to his initial worries. He shared:

"The doctor was always checking in on me, telling me to speak up if it hurt, but honestly, it was done very gently."

In particular, he had high praise for the treating doctors:

"Dr. Kiet examined very thoroughly... his expertise is very ok, very high, great expertise, so I felt very reassured."

Initial Results - Joy Restored

After just about a week, he had temporary teeth fitted. His joy was evident in every word he shared:

"These past few days, eating has been very ok. I can eat soft food normally now, and my sense of taste has also returned."

The change came not only from restoring his ability to chew, but also from the confidence and comfort he regained. For him, this was a correct and immensely worthwhile decision.

Uncle Tran Lam Phuong's journey is proof that regardless of age or where one lives, a strong, healthy, and confident smile can always be reclaimed when trust is placed in the right hands.
