Luke came to Summit Smiles Dental searching for a reliable provider for his regular dental care. Previously, he had been using Smile Direct Club retainers, which unfortunately led to issues with his teeth. His front two teeth became loose and started turning outward, a deeply unsettling experience that made him self-conscious and hesitant to smile in public. After discussing potential solutions with Dr. Wolfe, they agreed it was time to create a proactive plan to save Luke’s teeth and restore his confidence.

Luke wanted the best possible outcome and found Dr. Wolfe’s approach to be transparent, personalized and in his best interest. Dr. Wolfe presented a clear treatment plan outlining all the details and the timeline and making it easy for Luke to understand each step. Unlike other providers with whom Luke consulted, Dr. Wolfe took the time to listen, revising the plan based on Luke’s feedback and ensuring his needs were met. The team’s support extended beyond regular appointments – Luke could text the dental team anytime with questions, and they were always quick to provide reassurance. On one occasion, when a cap placed by a previous provider came off, Dr. Wolfe saw him the same day. Jennifer, the Office Manager, coordinated every detail of Luke’s cosmetic implant veneers treatment seamlessly, making the process smooth and stress-free.

Today, Luke’s confidence in his smile is restored after years of hiding it. Now he proudly shows off a big, open smile, which he says has boosted his outlook on life and given him a positive attitude every day. Luke no longer hesitates to go out in public, feeling fully confident in his appearance and his care at Summit Smiles Dental.

Sandra had been a patient at Summit Smiles Dental for several years after a friend referred her. She sought a provider who would truly listen and offer consistent, caring support from a stable dental team. Over time, her teeth had gradually deteriorated, leading her to consider either dentures or implants. Sandra spent a year and a half discussing her options with Dr. Wolfe, asking countless questions. Dr. Wolfe recommended an upper implant-supported bridge, assuring her it would provide a more satisfying outcome than dentures. After referrals to two of Dr. Wolfe’s partner oral surgeons, Sandra selected the one she felt most comfortable with, pleased with both the referral and Dr. Wolfe’s guidance.

Sandra underwent an upper fixed hybrid dental procedure, opting for implants with Dr. Wolfe’s team by her side. The experience was seamless from start to finish. A sedative ensured she remained comfortable throughout, and Sandra later described the process as far less painful than anticipated. The team guided her through the healing period, including dietary recommendations for the four months it took for the implants to secure firmly into the bone. During that time, temporary teeth were placed, which Sandra found surprisingly beautiful, even better than her original teeth. Dr. Wolfe and his team monitored her progress, conducting X-rays and tests to ensure implant stability. Once fully healed, Dr. Wolfe skillfully placed her permanent implants with precision, needing only a few minor adjustments.

Sandra couldn’t be happier with the results. She is especially grateful for the unwavering support of the Summit Smiles team, who make her feel like she’s talking to old friends each time she calls. Her husband has noticed how much more freely she smiles, no longer covering her mouth. Beyond aesthetics, Sandra can now enjoy a wider range of foods, including protein, nuts and fresh vegetables, which she previously struggled to chew. This renewed ability to eat healthfully has improved her overall well-being, making her physically and emotionally feel better.

Monte had been struggling with severe dental issues for many years, which ultimately led him and Dr. Wolfe to decide on a full mouth reconstruction with upper and lower fixed hybrid implants. With many missing teeth and front teeth worn down to the point of near invisibility, Monte felt self-conscious, especially in his role as a director at Visa. His appearance affected his confidence at work, making interactions with staff and vendors uncomfortable.

Dr. Wolfe and his team began the procedure, providing a sedative to ensure Monte’s comfort. All remaining teeth were removed in a single day, and his upper and lower jaws were made level. The next day, Monte returned to have six posts placed in each jaw while under sedation, followed by temporary teeth that allowed him to eat anything he could cut with a fork. Over the healing period, Monte received two more sets of temporary teeth, each fitting better as his jaw healed. Once everything healed fully, Dr. Wolfe placed the permanent zirconia teeth, completing Monte’s transformation.

Monte now enjoys life with renewed confidence and happiness, which brings him to the point of emotion. He no longer feels he embarrasses his family and takes pride in his appearance. Monte can eat anything he likes and often wishes he had undergone the procedure ten years earlier. He believes it was well worth the investment, stating, “Dr. Wolfe is great. I’d recommend him anytime.”

Dr. Wolfe has been my dentist for quite a few years. I came to him after I had a bad experience with a previous dentist. I had an extraction and needed a single-tooth implant. Dr. Wolfe finished the procedure for me. More recently, I wanted to get cosmetic dentistry done with Dr. Wolfe to look and feel better. I had chipped and worn front teeth on the top of my smile.

Dr. Wolfe has always done a very good job of considering my dental history, examining current issues and suggesting any work that might be needed or wanted in the future, but he is never pushy. He worked with me to put together a plan to get the maintenance and cosmetic work done. My wife and I were going to Europe, and they were able to accelerate the work and get it completed right before we left on our trip. One thing I like about Dr. Wolfe is he gives you many possible options and he lets you choose the path you want to take rather than only recommending the most expensive procedures like some dentists do. I have always been happy with the dentistry he has provided. His staff is wonderful: always very happy, cheerful, and super accommodating.

Having chipped teeth affects your self-esteem, you don’t smile as much knowing they are not as appealing and nice. People perceive you in a different light when you appear to take care of yourself and look well-kept. Having had my smile restored makes me feel better and happier.
