He would be regaining control over his health, and would feel younger and better.
I tried to help this patient feel empowered, by going into detail what would happen to him during the operation in layperson's terms.

My accomplishments pale in comparison
Personal Statement While any profession in the field of healing is doubtlessly a noble and worthy one, there are few of these that offer the combination of technical expertise and human interaction that dentistry does.
