Gummy Smile Reduction / Repair In One Hour

Before and After photos tell the story of Gummy smile repair and reduction in just one hour.  The after photo was taken immediately after the procedure.  This type of procedure is life-changing.  See our other posts for details on laser gum lift procedure and lip repositioning surgery. 

Lip Repositioning In An Hour

These photos were taken before and immediately after lip repositioning surgery and laser gum lift.  Notice the beautiful fullness of the upper lip, as well as covering of the upper gum tissue.  What a joy for our patient to discover the full glamorous teeth hidden for so many years!

Jacobs Deprogrammer

Introducing the most effective dental appliance we have found for headache and TMJ relief: the Jacobs Deprogrammer.  This is a very light, easy to wear, comfortable appliance.  It is custom fit exclusively for the patients of the Jacobs Smile Center, in Escanaba, Michigan. If you have any questions about jaw joint problems, headaches, clenching, or sleep apnea, feel free to call us and see if the Jacobs Deprogrammer is for you.

Practice Mojo

My good friend and mentor Jim Rhode told me, "you need to look at this Practice Mojo (PM) program for your office."  He couldn't have been more right.  Practice Mojo automates our appointment confirmations, reminds our patients about their need for followup appointments and tells them when they are past due for ther cleanings.  It also allows patients we have seen to complete a survey about their experience in our office.

PM also tells our office about how well we are managing our recare schedule and gives us demographic information about our patients.  It allows us to send specialized messages to our patients through email, text messages, or customized message postcards.

Our experience with this program since inception has been excellent.  The first thing we noticed was the appreciation from our patients about enhanced communication.  Almost daily, we have a patient call us and tell us that they are surprised and impressed that we have sent them a text message to remind them of their appointment.  They actually take the time to call and tell us they are impressed!

Another patient called to let us know that the postcard we sent was "a cut above the other junk you get in the mail."

The surveys we have received to date have been 100%.  Now I know that it's not possible to have that track record continually, but it has been a great team encouragement to date.  The comments patients add to their surveys have been glowing.  Remarkably, the dental TEAM has been mentioned in nearly all of the comments.

Thanks Jim Rhode for a great recommendation.  Our patients and all of us here at the Jacobs Smile Center are encouraged by this new technology!
