"Matters of the teeth can both be as casual as monthly cleaning life altering in the way that they can change the way you smile. Thankfully I was in the very safe hands of Uncle Nelson who's playful, entertaining attitude never affected the fine-tuned quality by which he worked with. Dental visits became highlights. He turned sitting for several minutes into several jokes and yet I always left with beautiful teeth and a personal commitment to mundane tasks like brushing and flossing. I have to say... After all the expertly done dental work I have been through, it feels nice to smile with confidence and attractive teeth".
"Before I got the braces I thought the process would be extremely painful. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that painful and Dr. Malenya talked me through the process. The location of Embrace is in a beautiful premise and very accessible. The waiting room is cozy and the nurses are friendly. I am happy with the way my teeth are improving".
"When I heard I was getting braces to align my teeth I was anxious about the pain and the fact that I would not be able to eat some things. However the dentist was gentle and kind and talked me through any procedure. Embrace Dental Clinic is quiet and serene. I was quiet delighted by the way my teeth were getting aligned after some months".
"I had an orthodontist in the USA for 2 years, so when I relocated to Kenya I wondered who would continue my treatment since I still had braces on. I visited Embrace Dental in Karen and was pleasantly surprised. As soon as I walked in the door I was astonished by the state of the art equipment. I was also impressed by the cleanliness. What I loved the most about Embrace is the way Dr. Malenya explains everything that is going on and even what the tools do".
