TESTIMONIAL LETTERS FROM A FEW OF OUR PATIENTS:

(Connective Tissue Grafting)
Dear Dr. Weingarden:
I was experiencing some pretty extensive gum recession - due to vigorous brushing several times a day - that was causing pain & headaches when cold liquids touched my gums or air hit my teeth/gums. Additionally, it was difficult to have my teeth cleaned because they were so sensitive. Dr. Weingarden performed four quadrants of seamless gum grafting using the AlloDerm dermal matrix and within a few weeks, I was back to normal both physically & aesthetically. This procedure has completely eliminated the pain & sensitivity I was experiencing when the tissue was recessed. And, thanks to the very thorough training from Dr. Weingarden's staff, I was able to identify & correct my improper brushing methods & maintain the integrity of my gums following the procedure.

(General care)
Dear Dr. Weingarden:
Every year at Thanksgiving I think of one person for whom I am especially thankful; this year that person is you.

I am thankful not only for your professional skills, but also for the kind of man you are. The courtesy that you show to your employees and the sincere concern you have for your patients is commendable….

Thank you,
Marilyn G.

“I had seven implants done by Dr. Mark Weingarden at three different times since 1999. With his impressive credentials and lengthy experience he is, no doubt, a top notch periodontist. In addition to his excellent skills, he is also quite gentle and very caring. I feel blessed to be his patient and would recommend him highly without qualification.

Dear Dr. Weingarden:
Three years ago I had my bottom teeth extracted. After two sets of dentures, chronic headaches, sleepless nights and endless frustration from only being able to eat the softest of foods, I was very unhappy.
I finally consulted with a dentist whose honesty and professionalism changed my life. Dr. Langett told me that dentures would never work for me. I needed implants. I was not too happy to hear this. He recommended you.

At the age of 72, change doesn’t come easy to me. I was reluctant at first. But after gaining the trust of you and Dr. Langett we proceeded with five implants. I t was the best thing that every happened to me. No more headaches and throbbing pain in my mouth from infected teeth.

I would recommend implants to anyone. And more important I would recommend you to perform the procedure. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Phyllis M.

Dear Dr. Weingarden:
I just wanted to tell you again how happy I am with my implants. I’ve had them for almost a year now, and I’ll be 70 in August. A person is never too old for implants. They are really satisfactory and more. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Yours very truly,
Betty B.

(Gum Grafting)
Dear Dr. Weingarden:
When my dentist first suggested that I should consider grafting as a form of treatment for my receding gum lines, I was very reluctant to accept his advice. The procedure, as he described it, filled me with apprehension and comments from friends and acquaintances who had had this treatment only confirmed my fears….Thanks to your patient explanations, your reassurances and your expertise, I found that my fears were totally unfounded. The procedure was over much sooner than I had expected and I experience no more pain or discomfort than with a more routine procedure such as a filling or cap. Nor were the after effects any worse….

If there are other patients who are feeling as apprehensive as I was, I would like to reassure them. Perhaps a few years ago, grafting was the painful procedure I had imagined it to be. However, that is certainly not the case today, and I would not hesitate to recommend the technique you use to anyone! Thanks for doing a great job!

Sincerely,
Sylvia A.

(Gum Grafting)
Dear Dr. Weingarden:
I wanted you to know how pleased I am with the results of the three connective tissue grafts that I’ve had done at your office. As you know, prior to meeting you I’d had the free gingival grafting repeated three times on the same site with very poor results…I had given up on the idea of having a normal, healthy gum line being that I had severe recession on all of the cuspid and first bicuspid teeth. Thanks to you and the successful connective tissue grafting, I no longer need fillings to cover the exposure of these teeth. Also, the cosmetic result cannot be emphasized enough. Thanks you for your caring and expertise and that of your staff.

Sincerely,
Cristen B.

An open letter to anyone contemplating dental implants:

This is an actual experience to allay any fears perspective patients may have. My successful implant procedure was performed to replace three teeth….

• I experienced minimal discomfort. Two Motrin alleviated any inflammation or pain.
• I had no facial bruising or swelling.
• I had no trouble eating or talking and was able to return to work the very next day and carried on a normal routine.
• I’ve been able to do follow-up visits in the evening; no lost work time.

I have been completely satisfied with my experience with Dr. Weingarden and his staff. His expertise and professionalism are unequaled.

Dear Dr. Weingarden:
I am writing this note to thank you and your staff for being so great to me before, during and after my implant surgery. The surgery was over sooner than I expected and Advil took care of what pain I had after the surgery. Without hesitation, I would recommend this procedure to anyone that is a candidate for implants….

Thank you again,

Dear Dr. Weingarden:
Just a note to thank you for the superb job you’ve done over the last several years. “Phase I” is now complete and I couldn’t be more pleased with the implants, they look and feel wonderful. Your skill and painstaking attention to detail means a lot to me.

In addition, I wish to commend your staff and associates. They are of the highest caliber and you should be very proud of them. I am always greeted with a smile and a little pleasant conversation. That means a lot to a patient too. I look forward to “Phase II”.

Sincerely,
Liz G.

P.S. Thank you for encouraging me to quit smoking!

(Crown elongation)
Dear Dr. Weingarden:
I am writing to commend you and your entire staff for the excellent service I received leading up to and related to my crown elongation….I was very impressed with your compassionate manner, as well as your responses to any questions or concerns I had regarding my procedure. I have been pleasantly surprised by the minimal discomfort I have experienced the past week. Please know I will gladly refer everyone I meet who has a need for periodontal work to you. Thank you again for your outstanding service. I truly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Victoria H.
