I have always wanted to have straighter teeth. However, I was never prepared to wear a brace for a long period of time.
After hearing that Lifestyle dental had various options for straighter teeth I decided to book an appointment.
The treatment has been really fantastic. At the begining, I have to admit I was fairly skeptical that the treatment would be finished within the time frame I wanted.
Lifestyle Dental is without a doubt the most professional dentists I have ever visited!
Towards the end of my treatment many of my friends and family asked which dentist I was currently with and asked me for thier website address and phone numebr. I would most definetly recommend this dentist to others
