Hope is a school teacher and longtime patient at Gentle Dental. She first arrived came to Gentle Dental looking for a dentist she could trust. Hope was concerned about discoloration in her front teeth, and was advised by previous dentists to perform bleaching and whitening procedures. After first addressing her basic dental needs, Dr. Ilyabayev appropriately diagnosed Hope's front teeth as having been affected by childhood trauma. Only then, Hope remembered a bicycle accident she suffered when she was 5. After fully understanding the issue, Hope decided to move forward with a four-veneer treatment plan to create her dream smile. She's been a part of the Gentle Dental family ever since.
