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.
