“For nearly two decades, a beautiful smile sat quietly on my vision board.
Long before Centered. Long before becoming a Senior Master Trainer. Long before so many of the dreams I’ve been blessed to live.
I spent eight years in braces as a kid, from age 8 to 16, and while I’m incredibly grateful for that journey, I still never felt like I had the smile I’d always imagined.
This year, that changed.
I’ve trusted Dr. Jacqueline Stump with my family’s dental care for years. She’s been my dentist, Gabe’s dentist, and she’s currently guiding L through his Invisalign journey. She’s also become a dear friend, a Pilates client, and part of our Centered family as one of our TRX instructors. So when I finally decided it was time to invest in my smile, there was never a question who I would trust with something so personal.
Even knowing Dr. J as well as I do, I was blown away by the level of precision and care that went into these 14 porcelain crowns.
Every measurement. Every contour. Every shade. Every tiny detail was thoughtfully evaluated by Dr. J and Dr. Matt. They weren’t simply creating teeth, they were creating a smile that looked natural and felt like me.
What impressed me most was that Dr. J simply would not settle until I was completely happy.
When we both agreed the two front teeth weren’t quite perfect, she didn’t try to convince me they were “close enough.” They were remade because excellence, not convenience, is her standard.
Fourteen cosmetic crowns later, I finally have the smile I’ve dreamed about for years. More importantly, I have the confidence to smile without thinking twice.
Thank you, Dr. J and the entire Howard & Howard team for your patience, your artistry, and your unwavering commitment to getting every detail exactly right. I am beyond grateful.
Sometimes dreams really do come true… even if they take a few decades. 💜
