28/04 Went to the Dentist Today

It is the 2nd day in Dalian, and our programme is packed today

1st, Elsa’s cousin will be dropping by my in-laws place to catch up with us this morning. She is a friendly lady, and she had a lot to catch up with Elsa as the last time we saw her was on our trip a few years ago just before covid.

After a lunch with her and my in-laws, we rush out to meet Kelly, one of her ex colleague, during her time at Dalian Shangri La hotel by 2pm. Elsa was happy to see her friends at work after so many years, and we will be expecting to see her again as Kelly will be visiting Singapore soon in July for a business trip

Then we rush off to the main event of today – the visit to the dentist

We went to a private dentist clinic which Elsa’s sister has recommended and scheduled an appointment for us.

What was impressive is the technology they used on the clinic after the receptionist led us up to the clinic on 2nd floor

1st we did an X-ray scan of only our head, where the doctor will check on the structure of our gums and teeth.

And when we met the doctor, she recommended me to do crowning for the 4 front teeth, as the last crowning I did more than a decade ago for my upper front teeth is breaking off. I end up choosing the 2nd material option, which after discount till amount to SGD$500 per tooth.

Haiz, didn’t expect doing crowning is still so expensive in China

Anyway, I do feel more assured as they even used a scanner and generated a 3D model of my teeth structure before they put temporary teeth for me before my actual crowning is ready by 4th May.

Guess I have to be mentally prepared for my surgery this coming Sat

I just hope my smile can look better than before, when the day where we can finally reunite, Em Yeu
