My name is Katie and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I was looking online for a place that does reconstructive surgery on my mouth and Desert Smiles was one of the results that popped up so I gave them a call. By the age of 21, I decided that I didn’t want to go through three years of braces, I had a lot of crowding in my mouth. Dr. Wilcox said that we could fix that with some reconstructive surgery and the cost was pretty much the same anyways.

I had reconstructive surgery done on my bottom teeth. I had porcelain veneers put it, so total reconstruction.It was like getting braces but having the results over night! It has been amazing. From day one, they have taken care of me, they made me feel at home, everyone is very friendly, and the outcome was fantastic.

The confidence that you get from having a perfect smile is phenomenal. You feel more comfortable in your own skin and you feel brighter, happier, and able to walk up to strangers.  My parents said the same thing. They have told me what a difference it has made in my own life. How much more outgoing is really the word for it. I am not self conscious.

The last thing you want to do is smile with your mouth closed in your own wedding pictures. I am going to be able to smile and be comfortable. That is all you want to do on your wedding day is just smile. There were no drawbacks and it wasn’t painful.

It was an instant gratification of a perfect smile and what it does for your life is worth every penny.
