Jeffrey: Some of the best qualities of this practice are the relationships that we develop with our patients. We want patients to know that they’re cared for. When you come into the office, you’re comfortable. Your anxiety levels are as low as possible. But also, understanding that you’re going to get the best care possible.
Bryan: We feel like communication is key, and we’re ultimately here to help you through your journey of having a healthy and happy smile. We try to do the right thing, and we feel like if we do, that everything else will fall into place. So that is one of our most important aspects of dentistry.
Brock: We see people, person to person, as an individual. We work with your case as it was one of our children. We really, really want to focus on you to make sure that you get the care that you need, that’s not just a rote presentation that we tell to everybody. We just want you to feel like you’re getting taken care of, and we like to give you multiple options, and you have your own agency throughout the whole process and that’s one of our core, core values.
Woman 1: The reason I sought out smile design is that I knocked out my front teeth when I was about 9 years old. I’ve gone through probably about three or four sets of front teeth. Sometimes they’ve been bonded, other times they hadn’t been, and I was looking for a dentist, a cosmetic dentist who could give me a smile that I would have for many, many, many years to come. The first time I came into meet with Dr. Tuttle for my smile design was actually pretty emotional because he did a mock-up of what my smile would look like after it was complete, and I actually got tears because I never thought that my smile could look that way. That just really touched my heart. It was just very personable, and I never thought my smile could look that good.
Woman 2: Having the implant now has been great. It’s wonderful having a tooth back there. From start to finish, from the removal to the implant, and the crown was phenomenal. Dr. Davidson would message me, personally, and even after the procedures, and wanting to check in and make sure I was doing okay. He was very supportive even more than I thought he would be.
Woman 3: I used to grind my teeth really bad so a lot of my teeth were shorter and my gums were longer, so I had like a very gummy short-teeth smile. It played to my confidence a lot. So when I decided to get veneers, it was life-changing. My biggest worry was having them look too bulky or not natural or not fitting my face properly. Dr. Davidson really paid attention to all the little details. He was like, “We tweaked a few things and worked really hard to make them look as natural as possible and fit my face shape and my current jaw shape and everything,” and I love the result.
Woman 4: One of the things that’s really important to me is a great smile. I am a professional photographer by trade. I have been for 20 years, and I notice those things about people. I notice when people have a smile on their face, they feel more confident, and they come across more confident. And that’s just something that’s always been really important to me. I have one particular tooth on the side here that was literally sideways. Always bothered me. I was always self-conscious about it, and the rest of my teeth, they weren’t, like, really bad but I knew my bite was off a little bit.
Invisalign is something I still felt I could carry off my professionalism that I needed to in my own business, but I wanted to do this for myself, and I did it, and I’m so glad that I did it. When I was about 7 years old, I had to have a major issue resolved at a dentist’s office, and it was a horrible experience. And so I’ve always had dental anxiety my whole life, and then I came to Above the Gate Dentistry. It’s been amazing. I’m in good hands. I’m comfortable here, and it’s just been like a complete shift in my mindset to come to the dentist, which allows me to take better care of my teeth.
Jeffrey: We love our patients, and we want to treat them as we would family.
