“After my accident, I was left with embarrassing gaps. Dr. Vander Vliet and his staff
explained all my options to me, and I decided that dental implants were the way to go.
They look and feel so natural, it’s like I was born with them.”
Anthony T., patient
I went to see my dentist,
Dr. Vander Vliet, for clean up and fillings. After he examined my teeth,
he said with a smile, "You have very healthy teeth now." I told him that he was my best dentist.
For the past 17 years, he took good care of my teeth. He is very careful and thorough.
He always explains to me what he does and why. We talk about our families and our vacations.
We have crossed the line of a professional relationship and become friends. I feel good that
I am not only putting my money where my mouth is but also my trust in a doctor who cares.
Tony L., patient.
