The Power of a Smile by Dr. Lanny Jacob
One thing that I think we sometimes take for granted is having a beautiful smile. A smile is so many things – it gives confidence, it expresses confidence, it’s a sign of happiness, a simple wordless greeting, and so much more.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have their idea of a perfect smile. Even I’m not immune – I happily donned braces at 40 years of age to achieve mine! Helping patients achieve that ideal smile is something that I truly enjoy and appreciate. Cases of this nature can be more ‘simple’, but in many instances it can take a lot of work to get to the finished product. But, it is ALWAYS worth it.
She Smiled and Cried Tears of Joy
In the many years that I’ve been practicing dentistry I’ve seen a wide variety of dental cases.
A more recent memorable case involved a patient who had always felt embarrassed by the discolouration of her upper teeth. By using full porcelain crowns and bridges, we were able to give her a smile that she thought she would only ever dream of. When the time came to pass her the mirror for the reveal she was so happy that she cried tears of joy! To see that kind of delight is something that I can’t even begin to explain.
It is so satisfying to complete a case, regardless of how complex it is. Witnessing a patients happiness and seeing how appreciative they are when we hand them over the mirror is the most rewarding feeling I’ve ever had.
Never doubt the possibilities – you can achieve the smile that you dream of. Let us help you discover that confidence!

Good Morning,
I hope this e-mail finds you well.
I’m coming from St Paul MN. I lost right canine tooth. The Dr. here thinks my incisor and
the tooth next to the one I lost aren’t going to be strong enough to hold a bridge.
She said first we have to extract the nerve root. Then she would make a mold for 4 piece bridge. That may involve a root canal of the back tooth. This is adding up to thousands of dollars. I’m reaching out because my husband 20 years ago came to Winnipeg for laser eye surgery and LOVED IT. It was a fraction of the cost in Minnesota.
My question…how much would you charge for all that? The Bridge over 4 teeth.
2) would you ever do a good old fashion partial with the artificial tooth connects by metal to the in back of the teeth~~ Maryland bridge? The cost of a Maryland bridge?
Thank you for you time on this.
Sincerely,
Judy Haley
