Smiles By Arnold & Associates "Patient Comments"
Dr. Arnold and his staff were professional and accommodating to all my
needs. I was able to pick the color, shape, and texture of my new
teeth! The procedure was explained very well and I always knew what to
expect. Dr. Arnold made sure I was completely satisfied with my
veneers. I am happy I made the choice to have my teeth veneered by an
experienced professional cosmetic dentistry team!
My teeth look fantastic and I am very pleased with my new look!
Everyone is always asking me how I get my teeth so white and how I
keep them so perfect! A few years have past by and I can honestly say
this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I receive
complements all the time and I smile with confidence everywhere I go!
Thank you,
~Amy
Dear Dr. Arnold,
I just wanted you and your caring team to know what a difference my new veneers have made in my life. I have hated my teeth since my permanent teeth came in--stained brown and yellow. The doctors said it was from the antibiotics I took when I was younger for the pneumonia and whooping cough, etc. But, here I am explaining why they were stained to you, when you would already know that. But I always felt like I had to make excuses for my teeth. Kids would always ask why my teeth were so yellow. So I would find myself explaining about the antibiotics over and over, year after year, only to have them say something like, "Well why don't you just brush your teeth!"
I tried having them "painted", but of course that was only in an attempt to cover the dark spots which of course it didn't. I wanted the dentist to paint the teeth white. Of course, they couldn't do that either, as the dentist had to match the color of the tooth, which was yellow. My poor Mom, who didn't have the money to spend on extras like this, did it, because she knew how self conscious I was about my teeth.
When I got married, I had porcelain veneers put on. Again, they had to match the surrounding teeth, unless you were having your whole mouth done, which no one did back then, nor could we afford. They were thick and yellow. I felt like I had buck teeth, although the dentist that did them, did a good job considering what materials,etc. were around at that time.
That brings us to now. As you know, I have a lung disease. The medicine's side effects have taken it's toll on my body, teeth included. I took this as a sign that maybe this was the time to get my veneers. But, part of me thought , "Why?" Some people die of this disease and most everyone dies with it. Maybe I shouldn't use the money we really don't have to spend on this right now if I'm not going to be around to enjoy it. My husband said, "How long have you wanted this?"
"Forever." "Then don't even think twice about it", he said. I protested with, "What if I die the day after I get them?" He said, "Then I'll tell the funeral director to make you smiling." I told him he wouldn't have to, I'd be doing it on my own! (I could also go into remission for a long while also !!!!This is, of course, what I plan on doing!)
My point is that none of us know what is going to happen from one minute to the next. We shouldn't keep waiting for that perfect time, because you could wait much too long.
I love my smile. I mean, I REALLY LOVE my smile. I have WHITE teeth. And whether I live to be 54 or 154, I would do it again....only sooner. I smile more. I laugh more. And you know what they say about laughter.....Laughter is the best medicine! Now, wouldn't that be something! There's a grant study in there someplace!
So thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my smile, WHITE teeth and for changing my life.

The aroma of fresh baked bread, a choice of watching whatever I want on the television, a fabulous guy with wonderful assistants... This couldn't be a dental office. Actually it is and it's the best dental office I've ever been to. The service is beyond outstanding and I am elated with my finished smile. Dr. Arnold is not just a Dentist, he is an artist. He and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was completely satisfied. I would recommend this Dentist to anyone. If you want the best, you want Dr. Arnold & Associates. I drive more than an hour to see Dr. Arnold, and it is well worth the trip.
Thanks for everything, I'm one of your biggest fans.

Brandy is such a friendly and warm young lady. She was very gentle and made me feel comfortable as she cleaned my teeth. It was also very nice that I am able to have the same hygienist as she completed my cleaning on my last visit. There was never a problem when I needed to break for a moment. It really is a pleasant appointment. And, as always, it is so nice to see Dr. Arnold. He always has time to talk, casually and professionally. He is genuinely concerned, care for, and has the upmost respect for his patients. I am never rushed when we speak. Also, very nice! And then there is Angie, as always, a sweetheart!

Dr. Arnold,
As a new patient, I was highly impressed with you and your entire staff on both a professional and personal level. Your facility also has a very comfortable waiting/reception area and state of the art medical/examination rooms and equipment. As you were recommended to me by my food friend, D. S., I would also recommend anyone in need of dental care to your clinic.
Sincerely,
J. B.
Brandy at the Chesterton office was awesome! I have never had a more pleasant visit to the dentist – and I hate going to the dentist. She made me feel comfortable and I truly believe she cared about not only my teeth but getting to know me as a person. Again, I’ve never had that at any dentist office. It was so nice to feel relaxed in a place where I am usually very tense. Dr. Arnold was fantastic too – so personable and friendly. The entire office was all smiles and I will definitely tell family and friends about you.
Thank you!!

Every Dentist office should be so caring and make you feel so at ease. The girls at the office are really sweet and make you feel "VERY" comfortable. It is a family feeling office. Thanks for making a person at ease. Carol Harker :O)!!!
