I thought I’d post a letter of gratitude we received from a woman who is not our patient, but benefited from something she read on our blog. I’ve also posted our response. I just wanted to send a note to say thank you. I read on your blog about someone who, like me had trouble […]

Are Cheap Porcelain Veneers as Good?
I am going back into the job market after losing my husband. His life insurance policy lapsed while he was laid off and we were really struggling financially.

Hesistant to Finish Full-Smile Makeover
I have a serious grinding problem. I didn’t realize it until I went to see a new dentist. I knew my teeth were stubby but thought that had more to do with getting older. I’m now 42. She’s had me wearing a nightguard, which has helped, but the appearance was pretty bad. When I mentioned […]

Is a Cracked Crown a Dental Emergency?
I’ve had six porcelain crowns on my upper front teeth for many years. Two have had a small defect from the beginning. It was nothing you could notice from the naked eye, but I could feel them, sort of like a divot. Now, one of them seems to have changed. I can both see it […]
