Chris’ teeth were noticeably worn down due to years of biting his fingernails, and they were so bad that Dr. Keuning initially thought he was grinding them. In order to repair his enamel (and make his smile look better at the same time), Chris decided to get veneers. What made the process especially easy was that he got a crown at Juno Beach Smiles in the past, and that went so smoothly that he knew his makeover would both look great and be a breeze.

Vivian found us through a very trusted source—her mom! Vivian, in her words, was a “terrible” teeth grinder, and her mom was really starting to notice the decline in the health of her smile. The first place she called was Juno Beach Smiles, and Vivian was able to get in right away. In addition to having severely damaged teeth, she also had a bad infection in her mouth that had likely been dormant for years. With the help of an endodontist, Vivian was able to take care of all of her health issues, and then Dr. Riley rebuilt and refined her teeth to give her a smile she loves.

Terri has the kind of personality that brightens up any room she’s in, but behind the confidence was doubt about one thing—her smile. She knew she needed to get her teeth fixed for years, but she kept putting it off because she thought it would be too expensive. She ended up developing a medical issue and needed to see a dentist fairly quickly, and after going through her smile transformation, she wishes she didn’t put it off for so long. According to her, the Juno Beach team made the process as easy as possible, and she absolutely loves her new smile.

Sandra had been unhappy with her crooked teeth for her entire life, and then, right before her wedding, she chipped a few. This was fate telling her that it was finally time to do something about her smile! She says that Dr. Riley was able to work around her fears and anxiety to make sure she was comfortable at every moment. Sandra was amazed by how easy the process was, and her only regret is that she didn’t start it sooner.

Edmond is naturally the center of attention in every room he enters, so the appearance of his teeth is very important. However, after years of “living well in Europe” with plenty of red wine and strong coffee, they were noticeably discolored, plus he had issues with his gums that caught Dr. Riley’s attention. With the help of a periodontist, Edmond was able to improve the health of his gums, and then Dr. Riley gave him the kind of bright, head-turning smile that suits him perfectly.

Cara, by her own admission, is a very particular person. So, when it was time for her veneers to be replaced, she was a bit nervous. Would a dentist be able to meet her high standards? To her surprise, she was blown away by what Dr. Keuning was able to do for her, and she enjoyed her experience here so much that she now brings her children to come see us.

Elaine’s teeth were fine for the majority of her life, but after suffering a few illnesses back to back, her teeth were quickly and extensively damaged, turning them into what she called “little nubs.” According to Dr. Keuning, “It was probably the most severe wear case that we had seen.” Fortunately, Elaine and Dr. Keuning were able to sit down, put together a treatment plan, and follow through to rebuild Elaine’s smile, both cosmetically and functionally. Now, Elaine feels like she can be herself again and says the experience at Juno Beach Smiles made her journey as easy as possible.

Jeanne was experiencing multiple problems simply due to time, as a few of her old restorations needed replacement, and some of her natural teeth were beginning to break down as well. Not a huge fan of the dentist, Dr. Riley and the team at Juno Beach Smiles took the time to explain her options and help her feel comfortable at every appointment. She felt very cared for throughout her smile makeover process, and she’s happy that she doesn’t have to worry about her teeth anymore. In her words, “This is one of the nicest practices I have ever, ever experienced.”

Joan’s story is a pretty common one. She started experiencing bone loss in her upper jaw when she became pregnant with her first child, and this continued until she had to have four of her upper teeth removed on her 50th birthday. For nearly 30 years, she wore a partial denture and was told she wouldn’t be a good candidate for dental implants, but Dr. Riley didn’t believe that. Working with her and a specialist, he was able to give Joan strong and natural-looking implants that felt much more like the real teeth she had lost. These days, Joan hugs everyone when she comes into Juno Beach Smiles, and she loves that she never has to worry about her husband seeing her without teeth.

Kathy was experiencing chronic pain in her jaw and face for years, and despite getting temporary relief from various other treatments, nothing seemed to really last. She eventually saw on TV that Botox could be used to help her problem, so she found her way to Juno Beach Smiles. With just a few quick injections, Dr. Keuning was able to completely relieve her pain and help it stay away for an extended amount of time. For Kathy, this is the longest she’s ever gone without discomfort, and this freed her up to makeover her smile with porcelain veneers.

Kelly really cares about her appearance and has a very vibrant personality, but after not taking care of her teeth for a long time, she was beginning to feel self-conscious about them. She and Dr. Riley decided that porcelain veneers would help her achieve the pristine look she was hoping for. Today, Kelly says she’s able to feel confident from head to toe. She appreciated that the staff was so helpful throughout the process when she felt doubt about following through with treatment, and the procedure itself was “the easiest thing I’ve ever done” thanks to Dr. Riley’s light touch and selection of music!

Steve has known the dentists here at Juno Beach Smiles since 1999, so when his teeth started to become noticeably worn, he knew exactly who to call. He needed over a dozen dental crowns, and he felt nervous about getting so much dental work at once, but Dr. Riley and the team were able to answer all his questions, walk him through the process, and help him feel completely comfortable. Steve was really impressed with the entire team, not just Dr. Riley, and now he enjoys getting compliments about his smile on a regular basis.

Dr. Hinman was actually the first dentist right here at Juno Beach Smiles, and while enjoying his retirement, he eventually began to experience problems related to worn down teeth that led to a misaligned bite and frequent TMJ-related headaches. He turned to Dr. Riley and Dr. Keuning who recommended he get a full-mouth reconstruction. While Dr. Hinman was only concerned about getting out of pain, he was amazed at how great the final result both looked and felt, giving him a perfectly functional smile he’s always eager to show off.

Donna had gotten porcelain veneers placed on her upper teeth by another dentist in the past, and she was never really happy with the work. Eventually, the veneers themselves started to fail and cause her problems, affecting both her oral function and confidence in her smile. At the suggestion of her husband (who had previously gotten a smile makeover from Dr. Riley), she came to Juno Beach Smiles to have them redone. Now, she couldn’t be happier with the results, and she says they make a positive impact on her life every day.

Ruthye was experiencing problems common for many denture wearers: despite having dental implants, her prosthetic just wouldn’t stay in place, and this led to quite a bit of oral discomfort. She was constantly worried that her teeth were literally going to fly out of her mouth! Thankfully, Dr. Keuning was able to remove the failing dental implants and give her a new denture that stays firmly in place. Ruthye never has to worry about her teeth any more, and she says her smile is now ready for Hollywood.

Randi’s teeth had started to develop cracks, and Dr. Riley was concerned that this would eventually lead to broken teeth. He was able to use porcelain veneers to not only stabilize and strengthen her teeth, but drastically improve their overall look as well. Randi is so thankful that she found Juno Beach Smiles and feels nothing but confidence when she goes out into the world.

Matt and Heather Augustine are perfect examples of how just a little dentistry can make a dramatic difference for the smile. Matt underwent Invisalign in order to straighten some of his teeth that had shifted since getting braces as a child, and he said the process was easier than he could ever imagine. Heather, on the other hand, wanted to improve her teeth’s appearance without going overboard. Using porcelain veneers, Dr. Keuning was able to give her subtle results that are both beautiful and natural-looking, and she finds herself smiling more often as a result.

Sylvia is a longtime patient of Juno Beach Smiles, and over the years, her teeth had begun to wear down, and they were starting to make her feel self-conscious. Dr. Riley was able to not only restore her teeth using a combination of crowns and veneers, but enhance her smile’s overall appearance at the same time. Sylvia couldn’t be happier with her experience at the practice, which is why she’s encouraged her entire family to come visit us!
