Greg had a busy and successful business career. Finding the time, combined with some traumatic dental experiences earlier in life, were enough to constantly put his dental health on the back burner. Old metal fillings were breaking, teeth were decaying, and he had learned to hide his teeth and smile. After research, and a referral from their good friends already patients of Dr Peterson, Greg came in with his lovely wife Bonnie for a consult. A couple planning sessions later, and in only two visits in the dental chair, Greg had his entire mouth restored to perfect health and beauty painlessly. Even while in the temporaries, Greg’s confidence in his smile was quickly changed and he was receiving constant compliments. Since completing the veneers and crowns his friends and family have all commented on how perfect and natural his result is! Now his friends who referred him, have thanked us for helping him, sharing how this great man’ s personality is no longer hidden behind his teeth and his confidence is stronger that ever!
