The reason I got Invisalign and considered it was because I had braces, got them off a while ago, but I had started to notice that my bottom teeth were really starting to go back to the way they were. I just wasn't happy with that. I really wanted them to be straight again. The process with Invisalign was great. I mean, I came in, they took my pictures, they scanned my bite, my upper and lower so I didn't have to get any impressions or anything, which was super nice because I know people hate impressions because all that stuff's in your mouth. It's awesome that you can do it impression-less now.

I think it was a week before my trays came in, so I didn't have to wait long at all. Then you get the buttons on your teeth and you can't see them at all, they're the same color as your teeth. You pop your retainer in and you pop it out. No one even knows it's there, versus my regular braces. You could see them, they were there all the time. It also doesn't take away from the foods you can eat, I guess, because you just take it out to eat, put it back in. You don't have to be necessarily as careful.

It only took me 13 trays, I think, to get through the whole thing. You wear each tray about two weeks and then you change, so I was in at about three months, four months, and I'm done already. It was a great process, I mean, super easy. There's actually an app that you can get to download that will remind you when to change your tray so you don't have to remember that even. I would recommend it. I mean, I had a great time with it.

I had to get three-quarter crowns on my front six teeth, from canine to canine. And what led up to that was, I had braces on and I was coming to the end, but I still had gaps between my central incisors, my front two and my canines. The two's of my front two were so small, they looked like they had been prepped already, to put a crown on, but they hadn't, that's how small they were.

They were "well, we can bond it, but that's a temporary solution." And they gave me lots of options as to what I could do permanently. And we talked through all of them, went through financing and there's all kinds of pictures that they showed me and it made me feel really great about what the outcome was going to be. I felt really secure in that and they felt really secure in that. We went ahead and we took the impressions and we went for the crowns and I've been happy with them ever since. I love them.

I did experience a change in confidence and that was a big thing for me because cheerleading, growing up, it was always something my coaches were telling me to be confident and look up because I was the girl that was held in the air and when I wasn't looking up and smiling, it was a big deal. And as soon as I got this beautiful smile that Beaumont Family had given to me through these crowns, it was a new girl.

And I felt much more confident in myself, in my ability to do things and I was always wanting to smile. It changed my personality and my attitude and my outlook on life. I was happier.

It's definitely worth it. I'm happy with my crowns. I'm glad I did it. I had to replace my front four this year because I had a crack in it and I'm still glad I did it.

I wouldn't change it for the world. It's definitely worth coming here to get the opinion on their crowns if you think it's what you want.

The program that I went through for the Invisalign was amazing. I never smiled, never opened my mouth. Always had my hand here. Now I smile and this was a great place to be for a year and a half. They did all the molds and when it was time to come back, I got my first set of Invisaligns, they were very patient with me putting them in and taking them out for the first time.

And then at first they came back every four weeks, always kind and they do a little video to show you what the end result's going to look like and every time I said "I got to see that video," and they were always very kind to show me. And then it went to every six weeks and always pleasant, kind Whitney, Panda. Everyone was just so nice through the whole experience, and encouraging the whole time.

I've become a selfie queen. Just to take a picture and actually see myself smiling because up until now there are no pictures of me smiling. I was so self-conscious of the gaps and the spaces and the teeth laying to the side. And now everything is nice and straight. So I'm thrilled. Thrilled.

Before I came here, my smile was really bad, and I was really embarrassed. I didn't take very good care of my teeth, and I hadn't been to the dentist in 12 years, maybe. So I was in pretty bad shape. And I smiled with my mouth closed, a lot. And communicating with people was pretty difficult, and it lowered my self-esteem substantially.

I went to a few dentist offices before I came here, and they made me feel kind of uncomfortable about my smile. And, you know, I just remember one of them in particular, she said, "Well, you know, if we start working, some of your teeth might fall out, and if that's the case, we can fix it." But she was more of, it's really severe, and when I came here, Dr. Takacs was like, "That's just plaque. You need a good cleaning, and then we can go from there." And that made me feel much better.

I'm 30 years old, and so I was kind of embarrassed that I have braces, being 30. But I wanted to do something, you know? It was either I need to get my teeth pulled, or I need to fix them. And looking at it, you know, the money and everything, fixing them was a lot cheaper. So I went that route.

I was going to do metal braces altogether, but she said that she would throw in the top, for Invisalign. The goal, altogether, was to spread my teeth apart, and to create space, because I was missing four teeth, initially. But when I went to the dentist as a kid, they pulled them close together, and she was going to spread them apart, to give us some space to do the Lumineers.

When it was all said and done, I cried. And, you know, I feel amazing. This is one of the best decisions I've made.

I'd had braces a couple times before, and just over the years, the bottom part of my teeth. I was unhappy. I would look at it, and when Dr. Takacs introduced the concept of Fastbraces and what they could do, as a busy adult, it seemed like an ideal situation to give it a try and see what happened. I looked at some of the other options, but again, I was interested in trying to do something that was in fact fast, and easy, and it didn't require a lot of home maintenance like Invisalign does, so it was the ideal option for my situation. Actually, I'm more likely to smile now that I've had the Fastbraces done and not hesitant to show the teeth every now and then.

I was in for a regular visit, and Becky had pointed out that there appeared to be some recession happening. Obviously they test for that over time. We took a look at it and six months later realized that it was probably time that we were gonna need to do something. I'd be honest with you, I hadn't noticed it because I don't look at my gums a lot. But it was, when they looked at and showed me what was going on, I started to realize that yeah, that's probably where some of the irritation was coming from. And I also knew that if I didn't do something, that the long-term consequences were probably more significant.

When Dr. Takacs suggested pinhole surgery, I had never heard of it before. So I had only understood what people had done previously that I had talked to that involved a lot of more surgical types of processes. So when Dr. Takacs explained what was going on, it's a very noninvasive surgery, but the concept of being able to go in and having something noninvasive that could be done right here in the dentist's office appealed to me. Since I've had the pinhole surgery, my gums have been in great shape. Like I said, I had never really realized before what the problem was, and now, as I take a look at them, they look like normal, healthy gums. That's an exciting output of the surgery.

I looked at a few dentist establishments before coming here, and I wasn't very comfortable with any of them. My teeth were really bad, so I was pretty ashamed of them. I didn't take care of them, and Dr. Takacs and Dr. Miller made me feel really comfortable and just wanted to help me. I like coming here because I know it's going to be a good experience. The people definitely, and the culture that they had … for Halloween they all dressed up. That's just cool, you know. My kids come here, my wife comes here, we all enjoy it. I was one of those people that had high anxiety in coming here, but after getting to know the staff, and the doctors, and know the atmosphere that they've created here, it made me feel comfortable, and I was no longer afraid. I would tell anybody this is the place that they need to come, that this is a great establishment. Pitch for somebody to come here would just be my smile, and I think that would be enough.

I've actually been coming to this practice for almost 20 years. I had a variety of services over the years, from Fastbraces to the pinhole surgery. The staff is just, is excellent. Dr. Takacs is just amazing. I mean, she's very friendly, very approachable. I've had some situations where I've needed a lot of explanation, and she's just always been there to take care of it.

Well, to be honest with you, I haven't been to another practice in 20 years, and I haven't really found a reason to leave this one. The staff is great. They're always good with following up on appointments, following up with you after treatment, understanding and explaining financial situations. Again, I've been here for 20 years and haven't found a reason to leave.

Nobody loves coming to the dentist office, including myself. What I really enjoy about the practice here is I have the benefit of having hand massage done while things were going on. I actually had a root canal done at one point, was in the chair for over an hour and at that point in time, my neck and shoulders were incredibly stiff. Dr. Takacs actually had one of her massage therapists come in and do a little neck and back massage to help in just relieving some of the tension that was going on, not just during but after the process as well.

I actually have recommended Dr. Takacs to many of my friends that have relocated here to Lexington looking for a new dentist. Certainly now with multiple doctors and multiple locations, very easy to get in, get appointments, get things scheduled. Yeah, I would definitely recommend people to come to Dr. Takacs and Beaumont Family Dentistry.

Because I am kind of a dental phobia person that my expectations have been exceeded. She is extremely patient and accommodating to your personal needs. I have been very satisfied with my experience with Beaumont Family Dentistry here. It was like I was having coffee with her. She came in, introduced herself. We talked for a while, went through just some social things. So, she's very personable, very friendly, very open, not pushy, real down to earth. We went through a whole entire plan of care. Got home... And I agreed to it, and I got home and started thinking about it and got cold feet.

So, I called back in. And actually, one afternoon, she finally said, "If you want to come in, let's sit down and talk." And she was preparing to leave on a trip and going to the airport, and I came in right before she left to the airport. You would've never known she had a plane to catch. We sat down in the office, we went through everything. She said, "If that's what you want to do, that's what we'll do," and so that's what we did. And so, it's very comforting, I guess is a good word. Knowledge is important in making sure you go to the right place, and I felt real comfortable coming here.

My daughter was really nervous about going to the dentist. She'd had a few bad experiences. So when she got here and they took her back, they really talked to her and realized how anxious she was, and they gave her a hand massage and the wax paraffin treatment. So she felt like she was having a spa day instead of a dentist appointment. She got relaxed and everybody was really nice. She had a great day.

Everyone really does seem to care. Very personable. Puts you right at home, makes you feel relaxed. So we're really happy and really glad that we came here.
