One Hundred Years of Memories

Dr. Rose has been practicing dentistry for many years and has met a lot of great people during his journey. We have one great friend and patient that really stands out in our hearts. His name is Jesse Stephens and believe it or not just turned 1ooyrs old. Awesome Jesse! He was"Chief Warrant Officer" in the navy, and fought in WWII. He is sharp as a whip and has a photographic memory. He can tell a great war story and never misses a detail. He only stopped driving a few years ago, Amazing! He is such a treat to visit with and we just love to hear all his great memories of the past. He is filled with such knowledge, wisdom and has seen it all. Allot has changed in the last 100 years (1908 wow!) and Jesse has been there done that. We care about him dearly, and were glad he's still around. Happy 1ooth Birthday Jesse!

A Baby On The Way!

We will have a new little someone arriving in October, our assistant Stephanie is expecting! How exciting. She has one little girl Emily who is four. Maybe baby number two will be a boy! Then she can have the best of both worlds. We wish her all the best and congratulations.

Have you thought about Cosmetic Dentistry?

Never underestimate the advantage a cosmetically enhanced smile can give you. Even something as easy and quick as whitening your teeth can improve your overall appearance. Every once in a while, I ask people to think about the advantages.

The choice of porcelain veneers or other cosmetic dental treatments is sometimes tied to an event: a wedding, an important business function, a holiday, a graduation or some family event. But, if you think about it, there are so many ways an improved smile can impact your life on an every day basis.

There is no doubt that a better smile is an advantage in business. This can impact promotions, sales and career paths. In a society that has learned that teeth can be improved, when you see a misshapen smile or misaligned teeth, you often can’t help but wonder why the person has done nothing to fix their smile.

If you know someone who might benefit from cosmetic dentistry, this is why you should think about referring them to me for a cosmetic consultation. A better smile can mean a better presentation at work. Makeovers of all kinds lead to promotions all the time. It can improve a person’s social prospects. It can also give a new sense of inner confidence that can manifest itself in many ways.

If you know someone who might be interested in cosmetic dentistry to gain an advantage somewhere in their life, refer them to me. It could be the best advice they get all year.
