Time for Transformation Tuesday!! ✨

Today’s patient came to us with a desire to strengthen and upgrade their smile line due to a lifetime of having a “strong bite”. Thanks to years of grinding their teeth unintentionally, the patient’s upper smile line was left shortened, chipped and with multiple areas of sensitive gum recession. By placing full-coverage crowns on their upper canine to canine region, the patient’s dental dreams have started to come to life! With just a few more areas to work on, this patient is well on their way to a smile they will be proud to show off! 🥳

Looking to make your dream smile come to life?! Let us help you! Our staff and doctors and ready to make a comprehensive plan to fit your wants and needs. Give us a call today!!

Happy 14-Year Anniversary, McCall!🎉

McCall is truly one of a kind! She’s an amazing hygienist, social media guru, admin assistant, and basically our “can-do-anything” girl! There isn’t much she can’t tackle, and she always does it with a smile.

She is smart, articulate, sweet, outgoing, and genuinely a friend to everyone she meets. She brings so much fun and energy wherever she goes, and she is loved by our team and patients alike!

And outside of work, she’s an incredible wife, mom, and fitness lover who somehow manages to do it all! 💪🏼

McCall, we are SO lucky to have had you for the past 14 years! Thank you for all the laughs, hard work, friendship, and everything you bring to our team. Here’s to many more years of you being YOU! ✨

Happy 14 years, McCall! We love you! ❤️🎉
