Why? Because Smile-Vision is so easy to use, and it really does work! Here's what
just a few of our hundreds of participating dentists have to say...

Hi Smile-Vision,
Just wanted to let you know that your template technique is absolutely AWESOME! I used it for the first time and the temp took me literally 10 minutes from start to finish for 9 units- WOW!!

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated working with you on our recent case. This was a very demanding and difficult dental patient( a wonderful person however) . Over the years I have spent about seven weeks down at the Pankey Institute trying to excel at difficult cases like this.
From the beginning you were a pleasure to work with for both my patient and myself. Our pre-op photographs with the computer simulated final result and the pre-op wax up allowed both my patient and myself to see where we wanted to end up before we began.
Your two-pieced stent made to the wax-up made my fabrication of the provisional bridge surprisingly easy and more importantly an almost exact duplication of the wax-up.
My patient left that day loving her smile and having a more comfortable bite. The soft tissue responded very well to the provisional so that when it came time to insert our ceramometal bridge our visit was quite easy. Using a model of the provisionals as a template resulted in an insert visit with a bare minimum of adjustment.
It was fantastic not to have to grind on porcelain ! I am grateful for having the opportunity to have worked together on this case and I look forward to working together in the future.

I have found you imaging services to be the best out there - since the beginning.
I have posted that feeling on the international LVI forum on multiple occasions. There were
isolated negative postings from around the country usually centering on the lack of lifelike and
actual reproduction in the imaging, but I think that is an ESSENTIAL component to making the imaging
valuable. If the imaging got so realistic that we could not surpass it in the finish, then the
imaging would be a negative. I find it PERFECT as it is. It gives a great impression for the patient
to understand, but leaves room for the finish to exceed it every time.
The multiple options you can create just helped me close a $24,000 case, just from the pictures, moving
the patient from the 3 crowns she wanted replaced to a full upper arch allowing me to optimize her
midline, her smile line and her buccal corridor appearance.
As per your frequent postings, I am treating TWO patients this month who had imaging done when we had
the computer and camera in our OFFICE! That was over 6 years ago! The tail on these cases can never be
overstated.

Everything went very well! The patient can't wait to do the lowers next! Thanks for a complete system that
virtually guarantees success every time.

 Here are some pics of the completed case 1.5 weeks post op. (photo at right) Your lab
work was wonderful! Patient is thrilled and I look forward to future
work with you. Many thanks.

I am writing to thank you for the cosmetic simulations you have been providing to our office.
Simulations done for patients who have expressed an interest in esthetic dentistry have resulted in a
very high rate of case acceptance. It serves as a great communication tool, as some patients accept
crown lengthening, and others opt out.
Many times, the patient elects complete mouth treatment - I should say, DEMANDS complete treatment
- whereas, initially, he/she was contemplating much more limited care.
Patients see the enhanced image and say they WANT the smile in the picture. It is an emotional
purchasing decision! Suddenly the how and how much take a back seat.
The fast turnaround is a major plus. Further, the redraws/refinements, as necessary, have been
excellent. We appreciate your responsiveness and willingness to engage in this essential dialogue.

- The entire Smile-Vision concept from simulation to waxup & template technique has enhanced & simplified how i & many others practice dentistry & achieve quality results. This new over temps approach is a GIANT step forward for those of us who offer & provide our patients with full mouth reconstructions. I can't thank you enough for the contributions you've made to my practice & for dentistry as a whole.

"Patient Mary G. was very happy with her new smile. The cosmetic imaging really persuaded her to go
with improving her teeth and your lab work was wonderful, giving her the new smile she always wanted.
Thanks for the good work from your lab!"

"I am totally blown away with how effective Smile Vision Imaging has been for us. Just yesterday
another long term patient said YES! after seeing her imaging photo...no further questions asked!"
-Carson

Smile-Vision, I just wanted to first, thank you for the amazing results we have been getting with
our imaging! This is so exciting, and who would have ever thought that just the before and after
pictures could sell the case! I have spent so much time trying to impress my patients with my vast
knowledge in words, that I probably end up killing my case presentations before they even get a
chance to accept what they really want. Now, I simply hand them the pictures. They can make their
decision from there... I keep my mouth shut! ha ha ha.

Dental Boot Kamp helped me with this "issue" but you have given me proof positive that less is best!

"Smile-Vision has been a very important part of our internal marketing process. The old saying, "A
picture is worth a thousand words," really holds true for us. Their imaging is the least-expensive,
time-efficient, way to show a patient what a new smile can do for them. Thanks Smile-Vision!"

"As the 2003 National Cosmetic Practice of the year recipient, I have found the imaging provided to
us by Smile-Vision to be invaluable in case presentations for cosmetic and functional mouth
rehabilitations. Dr. Brooks and the team at Smile-Vision have always been attentive to the detail
and request for subtleties in my imaging request. This has proven to be problematic with other
imaging services. If you want to provide a higher level of service, decrease case planning and
diagnosis complexities, and increase your case acceptance, I would not wait another day before calling."

"Smile-Vision has exceptional customer service. Their cosmetic imaging is critical to patient
acceptance of treatment presented. My case acceptance is nearly 100% and I know that the imaging
provided by Smile-Vision is the reason behind my success."

"I have been using Smile-Vision for several years. It has helped me dramatically with case
presentation and acceptance. You owe it to your patients and yourself to have imaging done on
every possible patient!"

"Larry Brooks and the team at Smile-Vision are truly partners with our practice. Their ingenuity
and knowledge about all aspects of cosmetic dentistry makes our part fun and predictable...and the
results often bring tears to our patient's eyes."

"I have tried many methods to convince my patients with compromised smiles to reward themselves
with veneers, orthodontics and crowns. I have done mock-ups in the mouth and photographed what it
could look like. I have taken pictures and on PhotoSuite4 did my own digital enhancements. I have
appealed to their emotions and used all my Haley Dental Book Kamp training. I have had good success
with these techniques. But the single greatest tool I use is Smile-Vision. A picture is worth a
thousand words. A great pictures is worth 10,000 words."
"My most famous digital enhancement came from a divorcee male back in the market for a wife. I
asked him about his smile and he said he never thought about it. When I had Smile-Vision do a digital
enhancement and I sent him a copy, he immediately posted it on his online dating site and starting
getting more hits. He called and scheduled $12,000 worth of cosmetic dentistry and later followed
through with much more."

spouses works."

"Smile-Vision has made it possible for the dentist to show the patient a vision of how a new smile can
create a new, more confident persona. At a minimum outlay of time and money, this is a formidable ally
of the cosmetic dentist. My personal experiences with Smile-Vision have all been positive."
-Dr. Robert Weller
Robert Weller, DDS, PC

"Over the years, I have successfully transferred all of my model "mock-up" efforts and verbal
descriptions of esthetic smiles to the consistently professional imaging results that I have received
from Smile-Vision. The overwhelming majority of multiple anterior esthetic cases that I have completed
were ones that were imaged by Smile-Vision, and the decision by the patient to proceed made almost
immediately. The only consideration for most of them was putting together the funds for the case. In
these instances, for something they wanted as opposed to something they needed. Most dental
practitioners, and for that matter new car salesmen, know the power of one versus the other! It is,
for most patients, a matter of priority for their discretionary dollar. IF THEY WANT IT, THEY WILL
BUY IT. IF THEY CAN SEE IT, THEY WILL WANT IT! Simple as that."
"Thanks for all your help with my Smile Vision experiences!"

"After learning about your system to help my existing patients of record become interested and informed
about what cosmetic dentistry has to offer them, I realized it (Smile-Vision) made perfect sense for
my practice."
"In the three months we have integrated Smile-Vision in our daily routine, patients have shown a
willingness to discuss their cosmetic desires. We provide them with different cosmetic options to
achieve their goals and review financial options as well. I believe this system will lead to better
case acceptance results and provide a predictable lab result to match patient expectations."
-Dr. John Zarrella

"Smile-Vision has made the process of creating desire for cosmetic dentistry almost too easy! When we
give a patient a copy of their new smile to keep while they decide if they want to move forward with
treatment, it is almost like cheating! They always love it and this isn't a picture that gets thrown
away - they put it on their fridge and end up bringing it back so we can make it theirs. Awesome tool
and consistently great imaging!"
-Dr. Mark Duncan

"Smile-Vision has changed the way that I do dentistry. Their cutting edge services have enabled me to
expand the cosmetic/rehab portion of my practice to a level that I never thought possible. Systematic
case planning is the key to success. This process builds personal confidence as well as patient
confidence in one's treatment plan. Such positive experiences build upon themselves such that further
treatment plans are presented with a confidence and enthusiasm that is picked up on by your patients.
The result is an increase in case acceptance and the perks that come along with it. No doubt, this is a
'win-win' situation."
-Martin B. Goldstein DMD

"We started with Smile-Vision 2 years ago, and since then our cosmetic case acceptance has tripled.
The communication with our patients and the possibility of their smiles has created happy and
life-lasting results. From the service, to the timeliness, all the way to the final product,
Smile-Vision has been an asset to our team approach for all patients. We highly recommend their service
for those practitioners who want to get their practice to a higher level. Thank you Smile-Vision for
showing us the "real" vision and possibilities of our practice!!!"

"From imaging through diagnostic "wax-up" through temps to the final product, this is a well-integrated
system with flexibility to accommodate any input from cookbook to fully customized treatment planning."

"I could not practice cosmetic dentistry without Smile-Vision! Larry and John Brooks, and their team
of professionals, have a "winning formula" for any dentist serious about helping patients envision and
then realize the "smile of their dreams". Their Template for Success technique assures that my temps
will match the imaging, and my patients are always ecstatic with the results! The prep guide has saved
me, on many occasions, from extra appointments or a "compromised" result! I heartily recommend
incorporating Smile-Vision if you want to increase your cosmetic dentistry acceptance!"
