Doctor Andrew J. Sampalis on dentures
Dentures can be life-changing. I will never ever forget when I was a dental student. I had a patient, an older lady, she had no teeth, had teeth been missing for a number of years, and I made a denture for her.
The day I finished that denture, I placed it in her mouth, gave her a mirror. She started crying, and I’ll never forget it. You know, right then and there, I knew I was in the right profession.
I changed her life. I can’t believe it still affects me like this now, but I think about it sometimes, and you know, I still have those experiences sometimes, and it’s life-changing for them, and it’s life-changing for me, and something I’ll never forget. So dentures, they can be a great service for someone.
You know, it allows them to eat properly, allows them to smile. It’s just life-changing, and you know, it’s something that’s a service, it’s a nice service that, you know, that we provide here. I mean, a lot of dentists provide, it’s a pretty basic service, but it’s just life-changing.
