Description
Once Suzanne got off active duty, she hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and she could tell her smile needed some attention. Dr. Rota in Colorado Springs immediately put Suzanna at ease and got to work on a treatment plan to restore her oral health. Almost 30 years later, Suzanna is still Dr. Rota's patient.

I had gotten off active duty
and had not been to a dentist
00:00:09.642 --> 00:00:15.308
for a couple of years
and felt some funny things in my mouth,
00:00:15.309 --> 00:00:19.266
so I thought
I'd better check into a new dentist.
00:00:19.442 --> 00:00:22.642
I had a lot of apprehension
about going to the dentist
00:00:22.643 --> 00:00:24.500
and knowing I needed a lot of work.
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:29.775
But Dr. Rota put me at ease,
and he did a lot of work on my teeth,
00:00:29.776 --> 00:00:31.741
so I'm still his patient.
00:00:31.742 --> 00:00:34.517
He got me
on a very good dentifrice program,
00:00:34.750 --> 00:00:39.300
and I've not really
had any dental issues in… How many years?
00:00:39.301 --> 00:00:42.880
Almost 30 years,
33 years I've been coming to see Dr. Rota.
00:00:43.238 --> 00:00:45.308
I never felt good about my smile.
00:00:46.108 --> 00:00:48.967
I had him replace all of my amalgams
00:00:48.968 --> 00:00:52.800
and put in nicer crowns,
and we did some veneer work,
00:00:52.801 --> 00:00:54.467
and he filled in some gaps.
00:00:54.468 --> 00:00:57.267
Now I'm proud of my smile.
I'm proud of my teeth.
00:00:57.268 --> 00:01:01.309
They're comfortable,
they work well, and I'm very happy.
00:01:01.442 --> 00:01:06.282
When I was in the navy reserves
and I had to get physicals every year
00:01:06.283 --> 00:01:09.482
and I had to get
predeployment physicals done,
00:01:09.483 --> 00:01:11.575
it always included a dental check.
00:01:11.983 --> 00:01:16.141
Every military dentist
that looked at my teeth
00:01:16.233 --> 00:01:20.017
and the work that you've done
would ask the question,
00:01:20.225 --> 00:01:23.150
who's your dentist,
and would he mind if I called him?
00:01:23.151 --> 00:01:25.842
Because I want to be
the kind of dentist he is.
00:01:25.843 --> 00:01:27.808
They could see good work.
00:01:28.975 --> 00:01:30.942
They knew it when they saw it.
