A good cosmetic dentist should be happy to show you a portfolio of dental before and after photos from satisfied patients. These pictures can help you gauge the right dentist (and the right dental procedure) for your smile makeover. Learn why you should bother with before and after photos.
"Dr Goldin, A year ago, when I was told by a local dentist that I would need to have my two front teeth pulled and would need extensive bone grafting due to a childhood injury, I was devastated! I searched the internet trying to find the very best person for this challenging job. That's when I found you. I took a chance and made the decision to drive the three hours so that I could go to the Cosmetic Dentistry Institute. It was a leap of faith, after all... Internet photos and testimonials can be altered. Today, I want to thank you and your team. I love my new teeth and the folks at Cosmetic Dentistry! I will continue to drive the three hours for my normal maintenance, I can't imagine going anywhere else. You all feel like family as you have been on this journey with me. What an amazing team you have! I also thank you, Dr. Goldin... with each surgery you made sure I left with beautiful temporary teeth. I feel like crying every-time I look in the mirror. My new teeth are beautiful! I wasn't given much hope here in my hometown. I was told they would do the best they could under the circumstances. Because of you, my teeth look amazing and I have the confidence to smile again! I'm so happy I found you! My sincere gratitude to you and your fantastic team!"

"Dear Drs. Marcy & Craig Goldin et al, Since I've had my makeover, I've been a happier person. I think less about how I look, or how other people think I look, so it's been easier to talk to people in school and at work. I can see that I laugh and smile more freely, without the anxiety that I used to get just from worrying about what everyone else thought about my crooked teeth. Instead, now I've been complimented about how white and straight my teeth are. I feel like I was blessed. My mother knows how much happier I am, too. She wasn't able to pay for me to have regular dental care or braces when I was young, so I think she is very happy for me too. So, thank you so much for this wonderful gift. I think my teeth are beautiful!"

"Dear Dr. Goldin, I never imagined that my smile could light up an entire room. I never thought I would receive so many compliments everyday about how amazing and perfect my smile is since I had my veneers done by Dr. Goldin. I knew I couldn't have made a better choice in determining which doctor would be best for me once I saw Dr. Goldin's work and met his staff. Not only is my smile remarkable, but so was the entire process due to him and his wonderful team. Thank you so much, Cosmetic Dentistry Institute! You certainly are the best in the nation and keep me smiling constantly!!!"
