Mini Implants

"I wanted to let you know, Dr. Jacobs, what a difference you have made in my life and that I will be forever grateful for what you have done for me.

My previous dentist had fit me with a partial, the fit was so terrible I couldn't talk or eat with it in my mouth. After several failed attempts to adjust the fit, I was told that my mouth was shaped very oddly and I would have to live with it like it was.

I wouldn't smile in public and I would cover my mouth with my hand every time I laughed or someone made me grin. I was too embarrassed to go to a restaurant and have dinner with friends, I was always and forever mindful of the possibility that someone might see how horrendous my teeth looked. Truly it was more crippling than I had ever realized.

My life changed after consulting with Dr. Jacobs. I now wear an upper denture that fits so well I never have to use adhesives and I can eat apples and corn on the cob! I can walk down the street and smile at ..."

"It has been almost one year now since I had major dental work done at Lakeview Dental Center performed by Dr. Michael Auvinen. To sum up my entire experience with Dr. Auvinen - he saved my quality of life. In the past, I have had extensive dental work, but I did not have much of a smile, with many missing teeth and the remaining ones were in pretty rough shape (my words). I scheduled my first appointment after reading an advertisement for sedation dentistry. I had resigned myself to having my teeth removed and moving forward with dentures. I was apprehensive when I arrived for my appointment, but the staff put me right at ease. Everyone is so friendly and caring and treat you with the professionalism you would come to expect. I received the most thorough and comprehensive exam that was both informative and comfortable. I was treated with respect and was assured that I could have the smile that I had always wanted. Today, I have the smile I have always wanted and I did not need ..."

"Time is always an issue for me...How do I fit my dental needs into a busy work week? Multiple procedures completed in one visit, which ordinarily would have required several lengthy appointments, was an excellent option for me. Not only can you save time, travel and scheduling around your work day; you can experience dentistry in a whole new way- comfortable, relaxed and for me-pain free. If you have difficulty scheduling time away from the workplace, contact Lakeview Dental to see how Sedation Dentisty could benefit you. It was the Ultimate Experience with Extraordinary Results."

"I have found a home at Lakeview Dental Center where the atmosphere is comforting and relaxing. I no longer associate a visit to the dentist as painful and uncomfortable, which long ago I believed to be the norm. Dr Auvinen explained what I could expect from my initial exam and asked me questions about my visit to him. He listened to me. I felt in control of my own oral health for the very first time. Discovering the condition of my mouth and what my needs were was not only disheartening, but I felt embarassed and ashamed of myself. How could I have allowed this to happen? Fear of the dental office. I always found a more pressing issue at work that made it easy for me cancel my appointment. The doctor and I discussed what I wanted most...and of course... health was my main objective. A plan for recommended treatment was prepared, based on exam findings, and was discussed in detail with me along with options that would allow me to reach my goal of a healthy mouth and body. I ..."
