Thank you for the beautiful flowers and most of all, thank you for making me happy to smile again! (except of course, when you have a camera in my face!). You are a credit to your profession and I am truly grateful to have found you. Thank you!! Grateful Patient

DENTURES NO MORE !!

Dear Dr. Zase:

There are no words to express my appreciation for what you have done for me. It is such a joy to be able to smile - - really smile again. For many, many years I could never smile, or speak, without thinking about the fact that I was wearing dentures. Now, thanks to you, I feel like a "normal" person and look for things to smile about! The bridge you made on top of the implants feels great, looks beautiful, and never has to be removed. What a relief!

I so appreciate the uncountable hours that you gave to me to get everything just right. It didn't matter to you how many hours, or how long we ran over the time booked for me; you stayed with it until it was perfect! Anything less would never do and for that I am so very grateful. Your dedication, work ethic and your many kindnesses have truly given me my life back. That may sound like an overstatement, but anyone who wears dentures would fully understand what I mean.

I've seen my file and it probably weighs as much as I do - - a testament to your dedication for sure.

Thank you too to your wonderful staff; and a very special thank you to Val. She truly is one of your greatest assets. The two of you make an unbeatable team and I couldn't have gotten through all this without her hard work and dedication. Thanks, Val!

Again, a heartfelt thank you for all that you have done for me, you've given me "me" back.

I Love My Dentist

Hi Dr. Park and Barbara:

I want to say a great big THANK YOU for always being so kind, understanding, patient and considerate of my feelings.

Dr. Park you are always so generous with your time. A life saver to me! You may think it is not a big deal, but I can't express to you how comforting it is to know that at any time if I am in discomfort, I know I can call your office. When someone is in pain, or anxiety ridden, like I was yesterday, it is so reassuring to know that you, and your staff, are always there for your clients. Your attentiveness is above and beyond. Imagine saying "I Love My Dentist". I truly appreciate you Barb for always answering my questions and providing me with the information I need to make a good choice and holding my hand throughout procedures and making sure I am always comfortable. Most people cringe when they think of going to the dentist. I was of the same mind set. You and Barb have changed that for me. I know that I am in good hands.

How do I thank you for all the comfort you have given me throughout all these years?

If I had sent you the many cards I thought of sending, your exam room walls would be full. I get such a kick out of your antics with Barb. She is such a good sport! It is hard not to laugh. I find the atmosphere you and Barb create is genuine and refreshing.

I sincerely thank you.

Your friend,

Sandra

Saving for Later

I was skeptical, and I knew excellent work would not be cheap. After being embarrassed for decades, I finally had my front teeth fixed by Dr. Zase. I can hardly believe it is really me in the mirror. (My friends say I look so much better -- and younger too :) ).

I just love the results: how I look and how I feel. It was worth every penny. Now I am saving up to do the back teeth next.

Headaches Gone

Dear Dr. Zase,

Thank you for recommending the NTI (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) device to me. Since I started wearing it I experienced a quick resolution of my almost daily headaches. It was hard to believe this little device would make such a big impact but thankfully it did. Not to mention the positive protective effects it's having on my teeth! I wish I had this a long time ago instead of the traditional night guard I started with. Also, it is much more comfortable than the night guard. I will never go to bed without my NTI now!

Sincerely,

Michelle

Smile Makeover

It's Never Too Late

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

"It was time to replace my 16 year old lower denture as it finally broke in half, probably due to all those years of wobbling around. Upon recommendation, I visited Dr. Zase of the Colchester Dental Group expecting to be given the "same old thing", and I thought, I'm seventy-five years old and I have to buy new dentures that most likely won't be any different than what I had.

Dr. Zase introduced me to something called Locator Implants, and the model he showed me was incredible! A lower plate that would snap into place and would NOT move, that was certainly appealing.

It's all finished now with little or no discomfort in the process. Following is a list of just a few of the wonderful things I have experienced with this type of denture-

• Improved speech because the denture is so secure
• No more paste
• No more seeds which slip under the plate while eating- ouch
• No more wiggle or wobble
• In a restaurant, no more checking the menu two or three times to find something that you can comfortably eat
• No more excusing yourself from the table so that you can adjust the paste or remove food particles from under the plate so you can finish your dinner
• Like to sing? I do- no more fear of slipping dentures when you hit the high notes
• Like to eat raw veggies or fruit? I do -- it is now a wonderful experience to relax, eat and enjoy these types of foods.

Anyone with lower dentures knows that they slip and slide and are generally very annoying and irritating. NOT ANYMORE! Locator Implants are as close to the real thing as you are ever again going to get.
