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 people I pass. I can laugh in front of my co-workers and family without covering my mouth and hiding. I can go to restaurants with my friends - I feel like you have given me my life back.

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 to have a lower denture. My new smile is marvelous and I no longer live with pain. All of the fine folks that are affiliated with Lakeview Dental, and of course, Dr. Auvinen, really care about your oral health. I just wish that I would have known about them years before. If your reading this and wondering if sedation dentistry is for you, or maybe you are just looking for a new dental home, give them a call - they will help you.
