I return to Dr. Lazare, who has since moved to
a new office. It is state-of-the-art,
and Zen-like. His assistant, Gabrielle,
offers me something to drink, and asks which I’d prefer: TV or music. I choose Maroon Five (she asked for specificity) and request
nitrous oxide (despite today’s procedure being painless). Why not get high legally if one can? Soon I
am happily drifting away, mouth open wide, listening to Adam Levine.
An hour later I am leaving. All goes well, and I come back in three weeks
for the actual crown placement. Before
leaving, we evolve into a discussion of veneers. For about $10,000, Dr. Lazare can re-do my
smile by putting veneers on my four upper front teeth and whitening them
overall. He shows me before and after
pictures of people whose teeth he has done.
I leave wanting a new smile.
