About Bernie Villadiego, DDS
Chatsworth, San Fernando Valley, Simi Valley, California Cosmetic Dentist


Chatsworth, San Fernando Valley, Simi Valley, California

Having
always been self-conscious about my own smile, I think it always
made me more aware of a beautiful smile when I saw one. I had
taken tetracycline for years, which darkened my teeth and not
even bleaching could lighten them. I had worn off the enamel on
the front of my teeth, trying to get that perfectly white smile,
not realizing at the time the damage that I was doing. I had to
have fillings to fill in the eroded areas. To top everything
off, my teeth were lopsided. They were longer on one side than
the other and I had chipped off the tip of the shorter side to
make it even more exaggerated.
I hated my smile. My sister had a lovely smile and I always
admired the way she looked when that grin would pop out. But, I
always had to be careful. I didn’t want to smile too big, for
then, the eroded area would show. Now, perhaps because I’m a
flight attendant, smiling constantly, I was even more painfully
aware of how my teeth looked. I just thought that I had to learn
to live with it and I used to practice smiling in front of the
mirror so as not to make it too big!
One day, while having my teeth cleaned, the hygienist came in
and was introduced to me. Sitting in the chair, fully reclined,
all I could see was the flash of one of the most beautiful
smiles I’d ever seen. I immediately commented on how lovely her
smile was. That was when Dr. Bernie told me that it would be
possible to correct some of the problems that I had with my
teeth. After explaining what he could do, I immediately began to
feel a sense of relief at not having to feel ashamed of the way
my teeth looked.
Dr. Bernie did his work and it is like a miracle. I am elated
with my new set of teeth! I flash my smile and am no longer
ashamed or embarrassed by the way my teeth look. But also,
because they look so natural, I don’t have to worry about people
looking at me, and guessing that I have veneers. They can’t
tell! Who would have ever thought that I could feel so good
about the way I look? I have a beautiful smile now that I can
take for granted. I don’t have to worry anymore about how I do
it; I can just smile and feel happy, without having a niggling
worry about how my teeth look. It is so nice to be able to enjoy
things without having to think about my teeth!
I’m a flight attendant, and recently, I even had a passenger
comment on my “beautiful” smile. It is wonderful to be noticed
for my smile and I can only thank Dr. Bernie for that.

I
was told by several dentists that dentures were my only option
until I met Dr. Villadiego. He sat down with me, went over my
goals and reviewed what I wanted for my mouth. I was surprised
at the variety of options that are currently available. I chose
to have implants and crowns done. Today I have a wonderful smile
and a mouth that is free from pain and discomfort. Dr.
Villadiego exceeded what I thought was impossible. Dr.
Villadiego walks the walk.
Many thanks for your professionalism and excellence.

Dear
Dr. Bernie,
I like your new logo very much… I saw a dentist yesterday
regarding the removal of more mercury fillings. He remarked
about the good quality of work he saw in my mouth, wanted to
pass this along. Thanks again for your work with us and in being
open to the new…
All the best!
