Patient Testimonials for Tukwila
Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Lance Timmerman

Four years ago, I discovered Dr. Timmerman through one of my friends. Her smile had improved dramatically. I was looking for a dentist who specialized in general dentistry but also valued the benefits of cosmetic dentistry and asked for the name of her dentist. My teeth had become dull and discolored due to old bonding and silver amalgams. Regardless of what I tried, I could not whiten my teeth. As the date to my engagement pictures approached I decided that it was time to improve my smile. Dr. Timmerman suggested that we replace the old silver amalgams with white composite fillings and the teeth that were bonded with all-porcelain veneers. We decided to initially improve 10 of my upper teeth. When this was complete I had an incredible smile. My finace also became a patient of Dr. Timmerman's and had a Deep Bleaching because of the whiteness of my new smile. Dr. Timmerman's staff came in on their day off to perform his treatment. Needless to say, our engagement pictures have two of the whitest, brightest smiles that I have ever seen. One has to know that we are a very happy couple!

I had been a patient of Dr. Timmerman's for over seven years prior to deciding to improve the appearance of my teeth. However, with his training at LVI, I felt confident that he could restore my smile. As I grew older, the appearance of my teeth showed signs of wear and tear. They were chipped and discolored. I asked Dr. Timmerman what porcelain veneers could do for my smile, and he gave me an imaged picture of what my teeth could look like. I agreed to restore my teeth during our appointment. I wore my temporaries only two weeks and the permanent all-porcelain veneers were placed right after that. My smile is gorgeous. My grand-daughters have made the comment, Grandma, your teeth look whiter today! I just smile, loving every moment of it!

I have always placed a high value on my smile and wanted whiter teeth. I like my smile overall, just not the color. When bleaching teeth developed, I tried everything. At first I had trays made by my dentist, and that worked OK, but I thought they could still be whiter. I tried an in-office procedure that used a light and gave a similar result. New products came out that I could buy at the store, so I tried those. Everything worked a little bit, but still I was not satisfied.

When Dr. Timmerman told me there was a technique that used more than technology and gave superior results to anything else out there, I thought I would give it a try. Wow! I finally found a dentist that could give me what I wanted. My teeth have never been this white! Dr. Timmerman definitely knows a way to whiten teeth better than anything else I've tried.

At first I was concerned that maybe they looked too white, but all I get are compliments. I love my smile!

As a pilot in the military, my teeth had to be in A-1 condition. However, after I retired from the military, I did not maintain my dental health the way I should have. In time, I began to research silver amalgams and decided that I wanted to replace them with materials that I personally felt comfortable with. I drove by Dr. Timmerman's office and decided to pull in. It was a lucky day in my life.

Not only did Dr. Timmerman offer a solution to replacing my silver amalgam, he also used advanced dental technology to hide and replace my missing teeth. His office is full of equipment that I personally had not seen in any other dental office that I had visited prior. Not only has the technology been useful, but Dr. Timmerman's advanced training at LVI was instrumental in giving me a smile that I love to share.

In Dr. Timmerman's office, I have never experienced pain, and my dental treatments have been noticeable uneventful. Unlike the past, I realize that a beautiful healthy smile can be achieved regardless of one's stage in life.
