The Story of a Real Estate Agent’s Transformation
By Dr. William Campbell
Loretta Copper has handled high-end client asset acquisitions for the past 30 years, with the past eight years in Real Estate from Lakewood Ranch to Naples. But today, she wants to show you her smile. Due to low calcium levels, tooth erosion from acid reflux, and her nightly jaw clenching and grinding, Loretta had many cracked and chipped teeth. Loretta states, “One day, I just looked in the mirror and decided this was the day I was going to do something about my mouth. So, I got online and started researching dentists in the area. Park Family Dental had SO many great patient reviews, literally hundreds of positive reviews from happy patients. I sat at my computer, read these reviews, saw the before and after pictures of patients, and called to make an appointment immediately.”
“When I went for my initial consultation,, I was terrified of the unknown. The pain? The cost? The time? But once I sat in the chair and met Dr. Campbell and his team, all those fears disappeared. Dr. Campbell asked me what I wanted, and I told him I want a beautiful smile! We went over my treatment options, and I felt more confident that day.”
Dr. Campbell and his team first updated Loretta’s dental hygiene needs. Next, they prepared her upper and lower arches the same day. Dr. Campbell shares, “Typically, between preparation of all teeth, temporary fabrication, and final impressions for the lab, this appointment could take most of the day. Approximately 6 hours or more. The first day is definitely a long day; however, patients can see immediate differences in their smiles and, ultimately, their self-confidence.”
Loretta recalls the moment when assistant Alejandra handed her a mirror: “I couldn’t smile big enough!! Initially, I was only going to have the top teeth treated on the first day, but I loved the results so much that I asked if we could work on the bottom teeth that day, too. Alejandra and James kept asking me if I was ok, if I needed a break, did I want to take a walk and stretch my legs, but I had a goal of a beautiful smile and I wasn’t backing down. I spent 16 hours in the dental chair this one day and Dr. Campbell’s team provided the utmost level of care to meet my needs.”
Dr. Campbell knows the importance of a great team. Clinical Team members Alejandra Munoz, Ana Perez, and James Garcia are part of the magic. Dr. Campbell states, “James, who has been with me chair-side for about 10 years now, is phenomenal with his temporaries. Patients sometimes don’t want to give up their temps for the real deal.” James, Ana, and Alejandra have a way of connecting with patients who trust their care to them and often ask for them by name when they schedule their appointments.”
At her final fitting, Loretta affirms she wasn’t the only one shedding tears. Alejandra brought in a bottle of bubbly, and we all toasted my new smile! I can’t express how my self-confidence and self-esteem have blossomed since I met the Park Dental Team. Even my granddaughter noticed. When a child says, “Grandma, you smile so much more now.” It makes the whole process worthwhile.”
