i went there with my wife last month, my wife has very dodgy gums from years ago after having veneers fitted and the adhesive reacted to her gums making them recede quite drastically.
charming smile recommended that she have twelve teeth removed and have false ones fitted.
after a few tears i spoke to raul, the manager of prazeres who booked us in at his familys dentist in panjim. absolutely immaculate place and the dentist spoke perfect unbroken english and was obviously very well educated. he rubbished what charming smile had said and although my wife needs a lot of work done, no teeth need removing, the work done will be 80% cosmetic.
charming smile also said after a checkup that i needed 3 fillings and i asked if it was feasible to have my teeth whitened even though i have veneers, the answer was 100% yes.
after a consultation in the panjim dentist i was asked whwn my veneers were done (no mention of me having any veneers in cs), why 1 was a slightly different shade from the others (again no mention in cs) and was advised against any whitening until my fillings had been done and told me that my veneers would not bleach as well as my own teeth and would show as a different shade after whitening.
he also mentioned having a small gap in my bottom teeth closed up at a later date for cosmetic reasons.
overall i would say cs were more interested in my money than my teeth.
but thats just one opinion. as a cosmetic dentist i might use them, for regular dentistry, i wouldnt.
should have gone to see dr. ambert instead!
