Melody Talks about having a tooth extraction Read Transcript
Melody Talks about having a tooth extraction

When I came to see him five years ago, I had an infected molar, and I was coming to see him for a second opinion. We were able to discuss what my options were, what he thought the best option was given the extent of the infection, which was an extraction. It was my first one, and he was sensitive to the fact but helped me get over that hurdle. Yes, it does need to be pulled, and then there are options after it is pulled to maintain a good bite, be able to eat food. So my concerns were addressed. The work that he's done since, I'm very happy with. Cosmetically, everything is at least as good as when I arrived. I had a good bite when I came in, so he's been very good about maintaining that. I appreciate it.

Since my extraction was a way in the back, we decided not to do anything because I had opposing teeth for the rest of the row. With Dr. Sommer, it's okay to do nothing. That's one of your options, if that's the best option. If you agree with him that doing nothing at this time is the best option, then we're fine with that. We'll just keep an eye on it. It could change in the future, but waiting is okay. I like that.

Laura Talks about having her Mercury Fillings Removed

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and I had a lot of muscle pain. I was also given a secondary diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica. So, I was hurting. I could not work. I'm a reader. I read everything and I Googled everything and found out that, especially in alternative health, they have discovered that these kinds of heavy metals, particularly those in the amalgam fillings such as mercury, are very detrimental to the human body. And there are those of us who just do not detox these metals very well. And so we need to have them removed. However, when they're removed, the mercury in particular releases fumes that are detrimental to not only the patient but the dental staff. So, when I found in the literature that there was now available the technology for safer mercury amalgam removal, a special technique, the SMART technique, I began to Google, well, were there any practitioners? And most conventional dentists don't do it.

And so when I was able to find through a friend about Dr. Sommer, I was just thrilled, and to find that he was a local and that I could do this. It was relieving to me when I had my fillings removed that I didn't have to do anything. I just laid there with my mouth open. They always were talking to me, and they were explaining to me ahead of time what they were going to do, and they're very professional and very concerned with medical sterility, and they just got right to business and got me through the procedure comfortably.

Linda Talks about her Smile Makeover

The saga of my front teeth began when I was 16 years old, and I was a junior in high school. I brushed my teeth one morning, and my front tooth was loose. And there was very little remedy for it back then. And so I suffered with some treatments over the years and mismatched teeth and yellow. And that one that came out was always a problem. And so I've struggled with my upper front teeth for a long time.

Well, Dr. Sommer had been my dentist for at least a decade. And I was in his office one day and he had a book of cosmetic treatments. And there was one woman in particular who had a gorgeous smile. And I realized that these weren't just photographs, that these were patients, people he had done this for. And so when I walked into the treatment room, I said, “Could I have one of those please?” And it turned out that I was able to have 14 crowns and veneers done on the upper part of my mouth.

And it has made a world of difference in how I feel about myself, how I present myself to the world. And it was all from seeing a photograph on the coffee table in the ... I just didn't think it was possible for me. Well, I think the biggest benefit of having it done is I think I smile more. I think I'm able to have a bigger smile. And I'm not kind of … I think I pulled back before.

And now I'm much more out there and smiling. Get lots of compliments on it, which always makes a woman feel good. And so, I think it gave me confidence and a sense of looking much better. I think if you, like me, were ashamed, a little bashful about smiling and uncomfortable, I think the thing to do is ask what can be done. There's so many different options that I didn't know about. And part of it was just believing it could happen to me.

And so ask the doctor and see what's available. There are, as I understand, minimal kind of treatments and then there's, you know, like I got, the whole 14 teeth. So just ask, because you're worth it.

Joe Talks about Dr Sommer and the Staff

Dr. Sommer is a very easygoing guy. He's easy to talk to. And having known him for all these years, he basically hasn't changed. He's got a good sense of humor, and he's a factual guy, and he's just one of those well-rounded people and that it's not like you're talking to a “doctor-doctor.” So, when you talk to him, it's like talking to one of your buddies or something.

The staff is very courteous and friendly, and they're on top of the game as far as making sure that when I've got an appointment, they send me emails or voicemails and just let me know that something's coming up. And then on occasion, I've kind of neglected to show up or I'm kind of running late and then they just give me a call and say, “Hey, where are you at?” “I have an appointment today? I thought that was tomorrow.” And then they're just very forgiving and he says, “Oh, we'll reschedule you.” So, they're very accommodating. I guess it's a compliment to Dr. Sommer because seems it seems like everybody that he hires is basically the same level of professionalism.

Joe Talks about why he loves the practice

I love coming here to see Dr. Sommer because I found out about him in I think 1995 or '96. I've been coming here since then. It's just a relaxing environment. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. Dr. Sommer's just probably the greatest dentist I've ever seen in my life. I've seen not a lot, but once you see somebody who really takes good care of you, then you just kind of stick with them. The thing that sets him apart is he doesn't pressure you to do anything kind of like upsell you or try and have you get work done that you don't really need. He'll just give you the facts, and he lets you decide as to which course of action you should do or if there’s no action that should be taken. He's very easy, just explaining things the way it is, and then he lets you make the educated decision that you need to make.
