Patient Name: Jane F.
Dental Concern: Unhappy with the appearance of her teeth
Treatment Selected: Porcelain Veneers
Over the years, Jane’s teeth began to show wear and appear dull, jagged and shortened in length. “I feel your smile is the most important feature of your face,” Jane explains. “It is the first thing someone notices when they meet you.” Because that is Jane’s smile philosophy, she refused to resign herself to a dull, aged smile and first impression. Instead, she consulted Dr. Lauck. Together, they decided to rejuvenate Jane’s smile with veeners. Jane now feels confident and beautiful again, all while smiling a lot more! “My friends didn’t know what I had done but commented that I looked younger,” Jane says. “I would tell anyone thinking about changing their smile to go for it! You will like the ‘sparkle’ Dr. Lauck puts in your smile!”
Patient Name: Brad B.
Dental Concern: Periodontal Disease
Treatment Selected: LANAP- Laser Gum Surgery
What started as a routine check-up soon changed Brad’s smile forever. Brad had a very handsome smile and took great care of his teeth, but he unknowingly suffered from Periodontal (Gum) Disease affecting his bone and gums. He worried when he learned his condition would require surgery. Easing his concerns, Dr. Corley and Brad decided to treat his smile with LANAP or Laser Gum Surgery to achieve the brilliant, healthy smile Brad needs. Because LANAP allows patients to heal more quickly than conventional surgery, Brad was even able to attend his high school reunion just one week after his surgery. He thoroughly enjoyed himself, reuniting with old classmates without any discomfort or challenges. “Dr. Corley is a good dentist and very pleasant,” Brad says. “His location is great, and the dental personnel is good too. Dr. Corley definitely had an impact on me.”
Patient Name: Hazel K.
Dental Concern: Unhappy with the appearance of her teeth
Treatment Selected: Porcelain Veneers
Hazel began feeling insecure about her smile in middle school, the time many of her peers wore braces to straighten their smiles. Concerned about the cost of orthodontics, Hazel waited until her 50th birthday to invest in herself and her smile. “Dr. Lauck and her staff are caring professionals who have provided me with excellent dental care for many years,” Hazel explains. “So, I felt very comfortable in choosing her to help me.” After treating her smile with veeners, Hazel boasts a confidence she has never felt before, leaving her insecurities in the past. “My friends notice me being happier and smiling more often,” Hazel beams. “Don’t wait another day to find your smile!”
Patient Name: Marthajane K.
Dental Concern: Chipping and erosion of front teeth
Treatment Selected: All Porcelain Crowns
Marthajane didn’t realize she had a dental problem – it crept up on her slowly. She put on her whitening tray from several years before and was shocked by the huge gap between the tray bottom and her teeth. Marthajane knew her teeth had continued chipping, but not to this dramatic extent. Immediately, she contacted Dr. Lauck, her trusted dentist, to find out what could be done. Dr. Lauck suggested porcelain crowns. Marthajane beams her gorgeous, new pearly whites as she reflects on her journey to a revitalized smile. “My principal, a man of few, carefully-chosen words, trekked to my room to pronounce ‘The dental work. You can’t help noticing – it looks good!’” Marthajane reflects. “Another friend chatted with me about finally getting braces. She paused, looked at my teeth and said ‘When did you wear braces? I don’t remember. Your teeth are PERFECT!’ I busted with laughter!” Marthajane now is a strong advocate for enhancing smiles. “Life is short – go for it!” Marthajane enthuses. “What on earth would people be waiting for? Seriously, just do it!”
Patient Name: Geneva K.
Dental Concern: Unhappy with the appearance of her teeth
Treatment Selected: Porcelain Crowns
Imagine living 60 years without a smile. For Geneva, this was reality. Too embarrassed to show her teeth in school year books and family photos, Geneva’s smile needed to be uncovered. After another dentist’s referral, Geneva sought the expertise of Dr. Lauck and received porcelain crowns to give her the radiant smile she deserves. “Dr. Lauck is the best dentist I have had in 66 years,” Geneva enthuses. “My hope is that she will be my last.” Geneva is overjoyed to finally feel the confidence and freedom of smiling without hesitation. “A friend told me that my teeth are beautiful,” Geneva explains. “She didn’t guess that they are all crowns. Thanks to Dr. Lauck my teeth look very natural.”
