THE ULTIMATE DENTAL HEALTH MAKEOVER Debra’s Makeover Is Complete! The results of Dear Doctor’s 2nd makeover contest winner We would like to thank the following contest sponsors for helping us make Debra’s dreams come true: DENTAL HEALTH M AKEOVER! THE ULTIMATE Debra’s Makeover Story Debra couldn’t remember a time when she was happy with her smile. By age 54, she was so upset with the appearance of her teeth and had become so self-conscious that she would either avoid smiling in various social situations, or cover her mouth with her hand. “I hated to smile, truthfully. When I had pictures taken I never showed a full smile,” she said. BEFORE Her displeasure stemmed from the appearance of several discolored and missing teeth, a mouthful of unsightly fillings, and a very old bridge that was placed when she was 18, which had gradually lost all of its aesthetic appeal. She both needed and wanted a smile makeover for years. Although she had even gone for dental consultations, she realized that the cost of the extensive dental work she needed was far beyond anything she could afford. www.dentalceramicsusa.com phone: 800 647 8748 For more information about these wonderful companies, their products and their services, visit www.DearDoctor.com/makeover Then, along with some other holiday mail, the latest issue of Dear Doctor magazine arrived in her mailbox. In it, she spotted an ad for Dear Doctor’s Ultimate Dental Health Makeover Contest. “I thought, I’ll never win, but I filled out the online entry form anyway,” she said. A few months later, she received a call from Dr. Mario Vilardi, the president and publisher of Dear Doctor magazine, telling her that she had been selected as the winner of the contest. But she was so shocked that the good news barely registered. “When I got off the phone, I still couldn’t believe I had won the contest. I thought maybe he said I was being considered – it didn’t penetrate.”
