Dr. Fisher,

About a year ago I mentioned to my former dentist that I thought my face was caving in.  All of my teeth had been ground to the halfway point due to stress and a very poor bite structure. I smiled with my mouth closed and hated having my picture taken.  After a lot of discussion and at age 58 I had braces glued in place on my lower teeth.

After a long search I met Dr. Fisher.  He had an extremely positive approach and plan and within two months I was sporting a beautiful new smile.  I even like having my picture taken for probably the first time in my life.  I am writing to you at the halfway point of my treatment.  If all goes well, in 6 months my lower braces will be removed and Dr. Fisher will complete the rest of my smile.  I can’t begin to explain the difference my new look has made to my self esteem.

The realities of a change such as this aren’t just super great smiles.

-There is the emotional struggle.  At each step the emotions were different and demanding.  Dr. Fisher and his entire team were sensitive and supportive at all times.

-There is the physical struggle.  Nothing as professionally created and beautiful as my new teeth happens without some pain and discomfort.  However, Dr. Fisher and his team are knowledgeable and have minimized the majority of my discomfort.   Weighing the discomfort against the outcome and the years of smiles ahead, the discomfort was very short term and in my judgment worth every minute.

-There is the financial reality.  That reality is that these sorts of things are expensive and will require a dedication to the project.  Consider this a long term health investment.  Dr. Fisher and his team are armed with resource options should financing be an issue.

I have had several comments from family members and friends that are incredibly gratifying.  However, I have also had several people that I don’t know say to me “Your teeth are so beautiful”.  Those are the comments that bring a tear to my eye.

My best to you,

Nancy J. Hancock
