Testimonials/Photos from Cosmetic Dentistry Patients
I will never tire of giving you the credit for the way my life has changed. Everything is coming together for me; financially I’m making 27.5% more, socially the phone is ringing off the hook, emotionally I feel self-assured.
When we first discussed having veneers put on my teeth I was a little reluctant, because of the cost. But the other sacrifices I made to save up the money, were well worth it; a hundred times over.
Now, when I look back at old photos, I want to trash the ones that show my teeth. I wish I had done this years ago. You have no idea what its like to be able to smile without having to worry that people are grossing out on your teeth. I actually feel pretty when I smile. My husband loves my new teeth also. We all want to thank you so much for the beautiful work. I have friends whose teeth I used to envy, now they envy mine. How's that for a turnaround. Thank you so much, always grateful.
This letter is long over due. I am writing it to not only express my appreciation for what you have done for me, but to assure anyone who is considering veneers, and is not absolutely convinced that they will be completely satisfied. I have had many pictures taken of me over the years. It wasn't until I had my teeth worked on by my LVI-trained Dentist that, I realized there was one reoccurring thing in all the pictures that were taken. I never showed my teeth! My driver's license, prom picture, and every one I could find showed no teeth.
After being fitted with my new veneers, I immediately became more confident with my entire appearance. I couldn't stop smiling! I didn't even realize how insecure I was about my smile. I avoided talking to people in ways that showed my teeth. To demonstrate how incredibly strong these teeth are I want to share one last thing. I was involved in a tragic skydiving accident one month after I was fitted with my veneers. While I broke my femur and ribs, I was amazed when I found out that nearly all of my teeth survived this big fall.
I hope this letter can serve as a testimonial for the incredible work you did with me.
My son was here for a few days this March. The change in him was dramatic. He has always had a way about him that draws people to him. Having his teeth fixed so beautifully has given him more confidence. It was wonderful to see him smile broadly instead of smiling behind closed lips. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You can’t know how much it means to me to see him comfortable and relaxed – not to mention so doggone handsome. God bless you.

Thank you for giving me the beautiful smile I’ve always wanted but thought was unobtainable. I used to be self-conscious about my crooked teeth, but with my new veneers I have the confidence of ten people and take every opportunity to smile and show them off! Before now, people frequently told me I had beautiful eyes, but I don’t ever recall being complimented about my smile. Now, people remark about my smile all the time – even people I’ve met for the first time or in passing. What’s more incredible, though, is that I started receiving compliments as soon as you set me up with my temporary veneers. Before taking the plunge, I was very concerned about how the temporary veneers would look and whether people would be able to tell they were not my real teeth. Much to my relief and delight, even the dentist I began dating while I had my temporary veneers couldn’t tell the difference. My smile was the first thing he complimented me about. I can’t thank you enough.

I now have the smile of my dreams thanks to my Cosmetic Dentist.
I love it!

It has been almost a year since you performed my complete dental reconstruction. Not only is my smile still beautiful, but I have noticed a number of unanticipated benefits to my health and well being. For many years I suffered with debilitating migraine headaches...sometimes as often as on a weekly basis. I missed work, vacations, and important family events due to the incapacitating pain. There were times when the warning lights associated with migraines would send me into despair...just anticipating the one to three days of intense pain and isolation that was to follow. As the years progressed and the trail of specialists grew longer, new medications provided some relief. Always, though, the migraines were like closet monsters...waiting for any lapse in vigilance to pounce.
Then, I turned 50. I didn't like the aged look of my teeth and realized I had been only half smiling for a number of years. My regular dentist advised me that I would have to wear braces for a couple of years prior to getting veneers. Somehow, that just didn't seem like something I wanted to do, so I placed the whole idea on the back burner. I never lost my fascination with beautiful smiles and the thought that just maybe there was something doable...after all, people with much worse bites than mine were getting remade left and right on television. They weren't spending two years in braces!
Then a miracle, in the form of your wife, showed up in my life....or rather at the baby shower of a mutual friend. Her smile was dazzling. We struck up a conversation when I commented on her smile. She filled me in on the type of dentistry LVI-trained cosmetic dentists study. I was in your office the following week for a consultation. Ultimately, you performed the reconstruction. Never did I think that all of this could lead to relief from my migraines. I never had any jaw pain, or any other clue that my bite was contributing to the awful condition. The upshot of the tale is that I have not had one migraine since my procedure. Between my enhanced smile and freedom from pain, you have given me a new and optimistic outlook on life. My sincerest thanks to you!
My LVI-trained dentist and his cosmetic dental staff are great. I've been terrified of dentists since I was 5 years old. They've made that fear go away. I feel very comfortable and welcome every time I go. Initially, they changed my silver fillings to less noticeable composites. Then, we talked about my tetracycline stains and pitting that didn't cause pain, but didn't look good. It looked like I hadn't taken care of my teeth. Making these improvements made sense and I'm really happy with it.

Everywhere I go people remark about my beautiful smile. A true result of your fine work - Thank you!
-Pat
Thank you, thank you, and thank you! My new smile has really been a lift for me! Friends and clients all tell me I look different, younger and happier. Some of them never figure out why and I just love to keep them guessing! You were absolutely right about how my new smile would have a big impact on my looks and my life. I should have listened to you a couple of years sooner! Thank you so much.
You gave me my smile back and I'm so proud to show it off!! Thank you for all that you have done and for being so nice and kind while doing it. I could never express how grateful I really am! Thanks. Everything you have done is so appreciated.

I only dreamed of having straight, white teeth. But now I have them. Thank you so much for making me want to smile again. They have not only made me want to smile, but have enhanced my self-esteem.
-Cheryl
After having spent 48 years smiling with my mouth closed, you can't imagine what a pleasure it was to discover facial muscles that I never knew I had.
The first week or two after you completed rebuilding my teeth, I completely and totally enjoyed the remarks of friends and associates, such as, "Where were you that you got such a great tan?" or "Did you lose some weight?" Your work is that subtle and natural.
I can't thank you enough for your fine job. As my new movie career progresses, I promise to keep you all informed!

For years I’ve avoided smiling. I would cover my lips with my hand, I would press my lips over my teeth to cover them and people always thought that I was a very unhappy person. Fortunately, my friend Ann referred me to an LVI-trained Cosemtic Dentist. Ever since my smile was artistically designed my friends have noticed a change in my attitude. Just the other day as I was walking into a store, a gentleman asked me why I was smiling so much! What a great feeling and comment!
-Sally R.
As an artist myself, I can see and feel the highly artistic hands of my cosmetic dentist. His attention to detail and patience are extraordinary. Everywhere I go, people complement me on my smile now. When I tell them that they are veneers people are always surprised and they immediately ask me who has done it, I always tell them, the artist is an LVI-trained cosmetic dentist.
Thanks so much for giving me back my smile! Having had so much hit-or-miss dentistry done over the past 30 years, my teeth resembled a multi-colored ear of corn ... not pretty! My best friend insisted that I find an LVI trained dentist when I was planning to get my smile makeover. She told me about the extended and specialized training that LVI-trained cosmetic dentists receive. When I had my consultation, I could tell that you really knew the best way to get the best results with what I had to work with. The process was completely painless and in just a few visits my new smile was complete.
If only I had known how easy the entire process would be, I wouldn’t have waited so long. Now I practice smiling in the mirror because for so many years I tried to hide my teeth. Today I smile at just about everyone I come in contact with and the reaction I get is something completely new for me. Because I’m more outgoing and friendly, I find other people are more friendly to me.
I just want you to know how wonderful it is to have straight, white, beautiful teeth that I can be proud to show off! The difference it has made in me and my everyday life is more than I ever imagined. My only regret is that I waited so many years to take the plunge and have my teeth taken care of. It’s such a great thing to feel so confident in my new smile. Thanks to you and your entire staff. Everyone treated me with the utmost respect and understanding and made my dental process a true pleasure. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Do yourself a huge favor and find an LVI-trained dentist. I almost let my regular dentist do a total reconstruction on my mouth and Thank God I backed out at the last minute. He had also never done this type of work and he has been a dentist for 25+ years. He had no pictures of any previous work he had done to show me. However, he did want to take pictures of me so that he had something to show the next person and he also asked me if it would be okay if he used me as a reference when we were through by giving patients my phone number!
I knew I was in trouble when he said that this would be a learning experience for us both! I guess every dentist has to start somewhere, but I didn't want it to be on me!! Another thing that really bothered me was if he was going to use me as a learning experience, (Guinea Pig basically) having never done this type of work before, you would think I would have been given a discount of some kind, not to mention that afterward he also wanted to use me as a reference. He offered me no discount, he was charging full price! After giving it much thought, I decided if I was going to spend a large sum I deserved someone experienced, someone who could show me before and after photos of patients who had this type work done.
My LVI-trained cosmetic dentist not only showed me a ton of before and after pics, but he was also able to show me what I would look like when he was finished! When I went in for my consultation I knew almost immediately that I was in the right place. I was very confident that he could give me what I was looking for. We are almost through with my total restoration now and I have no doubt that my previous dentist couldn't have given the result that I was looking for. It's not because he wasn't a good dentist, because he was, he just lacked the training of a good cosmetic dentist. There is a number of things that an LVI-trained Dentist does that a regular dentist doesn't do. An example with me is when I smiled there was too much gum in my smile. My LVI-trained cosmetic dentist had a laser that he used to laser off any unwanted gum tissue. The laser is an expensive piece of equipment and my regular dentist doesn't have one.
One last thing is be sure to ask what kind of training they've had in Esthetic Dentistry. What I've found in the city I live in is everyone claims to be a Cosmetic Dentist, but very few had any extra training.
I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the smile I always wanted. It has really changed my life and how I feel about myself. For the longest time, I would never show the world my true smile because I felt so self-conscious about it. So as an adult I had braces for 5 years to correct the huge gap between my front teeth. After my braces were removed, the gap started coming back due to me not wearing my retainer properly. I must admit the retainer was certainly a strain on my social life!
Then I met you through my sister. I noticed her smile last summer and I couldn’t figure out what she did until she explained that she visited you and had some work done. Her smile was out of this world and I wanted it!
I am so happy that my sister referred me to you. Now I’m smiling all the time. I even laugh at jokes that aren’t funny, just so I can smile.
Thank you so much and please extend my gratitude to your wonderful dental staff.

Over the years, my wife and I faithfully met our annual dental obligations. Along the way, we accumulated a lot of amalgam thinking we were preserving healthy teeth. However, we started having problems with failed fillings, sensitivity to hot and cold, and tooth discoloration. We clearly needed an alternative dental program. Our LVI-trained dentist and his talented staff offered a restoration approach that promised aesthetic appeal, improve function, and renewed comfort. His program used state-of-the-art restorative materials and techniques. In less than a year, his team transformed our troubled teeth into broad, healthy smiles with strong bites and no sensitivities. We could not be more pleased with the results. Hey even our friends noticed! Unquestionably the best money we spent on ourselves in many years. Thanks!!

My LVI-trained Cosmetic Dentist is the most talented, knowledgeable and compassionate doctor I have ever encountered. He is clearly on the forefront of all new techniques and technology in the cosmetic dentistry field. He is the consummate professional and a true perfectionist when applying his skills and knowledge to your case --- which is critical, because it is often the smallest detail or adjustment that makes the biggest difference.
On top of feeling confident in his amazing expertise, his personal style is beyond compare. He actually made the whole experience amazingly enjoyable and went above & beyond to accommodate some special circumstances I had. His personal attention and service is something I've never encountered from another doctor. I actually enjoyed my visits to his office. His affable and personable style is contagious and carries over to his amazing team. In the end, it's the results that really are the measure for success. He completely over-delivered on my expectations and I am thrilled with my new smile. What I like best is that it looks so natural that my friends & colleagues can't pinpoint the change, but just keep saying I look 10 yrs younger. I work in the movie business, so I would have to say "The Oscar goes to my LVI-trained Cosmetic Dentist"

Some months ago at the suggestion of my adult children, I came to you to see about having my teeth whitened and some dental work done. Being an older woman, I was somewhat apprehensive about having the work done. You gave me your honest opinion and, after some thought, I decided to go ahead.
This letter is to let you know how it has changed my life! I'm smiling again! My friends have mentioned how much more cheerful I am! My children say the change is dramatic. I'm going out with friends for dinner, I'm entertaining again, visiting friends at their invitation, and certainly seeing my children and grandchildren more often. (Oh what a smile can do!)
I wish to thank you. When I first came to your office I was greeted with a warm feeling. You and your lovely staff put me at ease instantly. You are an excellent dentist, very professional, you made it look easy. Having worked in my younger days for some fine dentists, I know it takes much skill. I would recommend you in a heart beat.
Thank you for giving me a new lease on life! (and a lovely smile!)
-Mrs. J.E.
Thank you all so very, very much! The teeth are superb!! Your most appreciative patient.
-Jill
I am absolutely thrilled with my new look! My teeth are straight and white. What a difference from my old crooked and stained ones.
No longer am I embarrassed to smile nor do I imagine people around me thinking how bad I look. Now I'm fully confident to smile freely, knowing my mouth looks great. Friends say I look ten years younger-the nicest compliment of all!
You and your staff were so kind and considerate of me throughout the entire process. It was hard work for you, but you always made me feel relaxed.
