-Kevin G.

"Dr. Smith is the master of the molar, the artisan of the incisor, the brain surgeon of the bicuspid. The whole procedure (dental bonding) took less than a half hour, and now my formerly chipped snaggletooth is a sparkling white monolith, flawless in shape and sheen. I am no longer self-conscious about my smile, and my gleaming grill is now on full display for everyone, especially the ladies."
