Special people:
Bad teeth combined with extreme shame and dental anxiety
More than 4,000 people suffering from extreme dental anxiety, bad teeth combined with extreme shame have received treatment by Dr Leu and his teams so far.
They wished for nothing more than to receive treatment by a dentist. Again and again, they canceled their appointments. All these people were infinitely ashamed. Nobody should see their teeth – not even their closest relatives. The situation seemed hopeless. They feel absolutely helpless with the condition of their teeth.
The mental stress became bigger and bigger, until it became unbearable:
The two photos show women whose scores for the oral health impact profile (OHIP) and dental anxiety (HAF) were still really bad a few years ago.
As always, it was fascinating to see how quickly these two patients' scores improved from very poor to very good.
Both patients became confident and happy people in a very short space of time.
Both women nowadays regularly attend routine dental treatments with our colleagues at their according hometown.
Andrea Herold (left picture) knew from personal experience the permanent stress resulting from shame, destroyed teeth and dental anxiety. With the help of Dr Leu she managed to do the seemingly impossible: Laugh again, talk and eat, carefree...
After the successful treatment with Dr Leu her biggest wish developed:
Sprout hope for people like herself!
We call that conversation: PRE-T1 conversation. Mrs Herold has experienced for herself how simple, efficient and effective Dr Leu's tried-and-tested counselling and treatment method really is.
The method consists of three appointments. At the first appointment, you talk to Dr Leu or his colleagues, who have been trained by him, without a dentist's chair, without instruments, without a white coat. Dr Leu will then draw up a treatment plan that can be implemented for you personally. The complete restoration will take place under general anaesthetic at the second appointment. You will receive your dentures at the third appointment.
Without having to worry about your teeth, you can enjoy your everyday life again and laugh with your family and friends!
Many years ago, the dentist Dr Leu and his teams – the Dr. Leu Group – specialised in treating people whose teeth severely impair their quality of life.
These people are afraid of embarrassment day and night, afraid of humiliation or insults, afraid of embarrassment or the fear of being caught off guard.
Everyone can assess their own oral health-related quality of life using the OHIP test:
OHIP.Test / IDZ-2005-Questionnaire
The vast majority of the general population has OHIP scores just above zero.
The vast majority of our patients have OHIP scores between 32 and the maximum of 56. There are no tests for feelings of shame or for aesthetics.
This OHIP score is a very clear indication that bad teeth are affecting the quality of life. The higher the score, the worse it is. These people feel helpless about the state of their teeth. We hear it again and again: ‘I already had the rope around my neck!’
Many suspect that, despite dental care, everything in their mouths is constantly getting worse.
Here you can deepen your detailed knowledge
We can offer proven help.
As an immediate aid, we recommend a phone call with our former dentist phobic patient. We call the phone call: PRE-T1
In the PRE-T1 call, many people say:
„I can't take it anymore. I feel terrible. I don't go among people anymore. I even avoid my own family members! My thoughts revolve 24/7 around the question: How do I get through the day without attracting attention because of my teeth."
VIGNETTE #1
At PRE-T1, the patient is advised to arrange a conversation with Dr. Leu, for example.
First appointment/T1
That would be T1/ first appointment /T1
After the pre-T1 phone call, hope springs:
Now I might be able to get out of this problem after all!
During the PRE-T1 session, you are informed, among other things, that you will be sitting at a table with Dr Leu:
- No dentist's chair!
- No white coat!
- No instruments!
- No insults!
- No insults and certainly no know-it-alls!
These people are very tense for days before T1. The conversation with Dr. Leu causes a very rapid relaxation and you notice very quickly: he wants to do me good!
Many want to be treated soon after T1: T2
Second appointment/T2
For each patient, the treatment under general anaesthesia always follows an algorithm developed individually for the patient within the framework of the proven treatment guidelines of Dr Michael Leu. One of these treatment guidelines has very pleasant ‘side effects’: almost no pain or swelling. >>> Testimonials
This T2 / second appointment takes a maximum of 7 hours under general anaesthesia
The Dr. Leu method always consists of 3 appointments: 3-appointment timeline
Most patients experience neither pain nor swelling after treatment. They can bite and chew again. They can laugh and socialise again:
Now I've done it!
Some patients' teeth cannot be saved. Patients often know this themselves.
But nobody wants to leave the practice toothless.
We also cater for such people: MODELL LEU.
Many write to us: Life has become great: Testimonials.
The Dr. Leu method has now been proven in almost 5,000 patients from many European countries: Success Statistics.
The treatment is possible under general anaesthesia at great expense(individual treatment algorithms + experienced specialists + staff with experience of these patients + specialists in aesthetics and laboratory technology, etc.) >>>
