She is the only one I trust to do a great job. I followed her to Pleasant Valley Dentistry...and SO HAPPY I DID! I have been there for 3 or 4 visits now and they are AMAZING! From the moment I walked in (on the first visit) I felt "at home". They are all so welcoming! Never thought I would use the expression of "positive vibes" but that's what you get walking in! Had an extraction that was a breeze..., a cleaning that was above and beyond (because my awesome hygienist Joanne did it!!) Then, today had the best experience of all...had a front tooth fixed that has bothered me for years...it was pure artwork...a simple thank you doesn't suffice....It is great to go to someone who truly loves what they do...from the front desk (AMAZING) to the dentist and assistants (AWESOME!!) Keep doing what you do! ” — Karen T https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/our-team daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624903438800-2IL4IGH14OP6N4J8BTEZ/Jen.png Our Team Jen - Office Manager https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/3b85fc00-dc64-4488-b002-165cc89b5d29/Miranda.jpeg Our Team Miranda - Receptionist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/fefbcd83-b7e1-44d1-97e9-dddf2c082ef0/Katie.jpg Our Team Katie - Dental Hygienist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624903561892-3VANRAJIRHEOLCKUSXDD/Katryna.png Our Team Katryna - Dental Hygienist https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/meet-the-dentists daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/a6d552ab-60af-4272-b13c-c401ff360f5b/dgphoto-5.jpg Meet the Dentists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624916190698-1SG5BN5VDD904ZB6WMUU/fagd_1.jpg Meet the Dentists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/40407be8-1fcc-4d86-baf5-bd9c75fb4b1c/door+logo.jpg Meet the Dentists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624903808723-D9QTR76G60Q6O57P9FUZ/DrTherese.jpg Meet the Dentists Therese C.

Alyssa was plagued with years of dental problems and was self-conscious about her chipped bondings and dark lower front teeth, and the dental office was a stressful and emotional place. Dr. Therese worked with her goals in mind to create a smile that was comfortable, stable, and representative of her inner beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591216546366-FQM4YVPBMWE987EVCPL2/Doug+watermark.png Smile Transformations - Doug was tired of his teeth chipping. Doug was aware of his teeth and old restorations chipping, but he was unaware of why. An underlying grinding habit and non-ideal bite, or malocclusion, were contributing to premature breakdown of his teeth and strain on his jaw joints. By comprehensively addressing his grinding, malocclusion, and TMJs, we were able to establish a healthy foundation which later allowed for predictable restoration of his worn smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591215810705-8YEWVJBL7VUARM6ICPWO/Christine+watermark.png Smile Transformations - Christine was embarrassed to smile. Christine spent years smiling with her lips closed. She was resigned to the thought that she would lose her teeth at a young age from breakage. Dr. Therese worked with her to uncover a vision she never thought possible, and through careful planning the destructive pattern of tooth breakdown was halted and reversed. With the collaboration of a highly skilled orthodontist, Christine and Dr. Therese recreated the smile that had been hidden for so many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591215610282-BOPV35D1H1GJGM5L8OHR/Ann+watermark.png Smile Transformations - Ann was sick of her bulky front tooth. A discolored and poorly contoured front tooth. Spacing, staining, and rotations. Ann was unhappy for years, but not enough to do anything. As part of Dr. Therese’s journey towards becoming an accredited cosmetic dentist, Ann decided it was time to finally take a leap. Subtle correction of disproportionate front teeth, addition of length and fullness to her smile, and just enough brightness to make it pop were all that was needed to bring her sparkle back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1595268759035-PFNFKLN56DCTKGKR441G/Dave+face+after.png Smile Transformations - Dave wished he did something sooner. Dave was aware for years that his front teeth were chipping and wearing. He was told by his old hygienist that he should consider getting a night guard to protect his teeth, and regretted not listening to her. He came to Dr. Therese with a goal of lengthening his short front teeth, and left with a smile that looks, feels, and functions properly again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591217852986-19DITVIJVUZXZ5XL3T5R/Bob+watermark.png Smile Transformations - Bob lived with stained teeth for years. Bob had enamel defects in his teeth since childhood. This left him with a discolored smile despite his excellent oral hygiene. Because professional whitening was not an option to correct this staining, they had to be masked with expertly crafted bonded composite. For the first time in his adult life, Bob had a great looking smile to match his personality. https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2023-08-18 https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/our-office daily 0.75 2021-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/661a8af9-f91c-4f0c-abe4-217790d42c3b/dgphoto-4.jpg Our Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/ca2af754-4c03-4991-b6f4-fc652122806a/IMG_5642.JPG Our Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624911854850-DW6ZRSVNP9BUMD4IETN7/dgphoto-3.jpg Our Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624913093451-8BEI8Q63ZPRUG9YRF3TE/dgphoto-7.jpg Our Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/3e3ecc06-87a8-48d2-90fc-6eff48cb8bf6/dgphoto-6.jpg Our Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/15631e3e-4511-4b39-a62e-0a8588030ec6/IMG_5811.JPG Our Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591291158040-XX4LIUN60RVZIP0DFASQ/digital+scanning.jpg Our Office We utilize cutting-edge digital care: digital radiographs, digital photography, scanning technology, 3-D printing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1624911019787-U66NOOATGHAII78E4Y4G/dgphoto-1.jpg Our Office - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591291351262-6V0JDP817ESJ4FU2OFKW/room.JPG Our Office We also offer ceiling-mounted entertainment, freshly laundered plush blankets to keep you cozy, noise-cancelling headphones, & warm towelettes at the completion of your appointment. https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/savings-plan daily 0.75 2024-08-15 https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/smiles daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/smiles/doug monthly 0.5 2020-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590506796290-UILBZDF129X3XXT3GQBR/1%252Bpreop%252Bhead%252Bshot.jpg Smiles - Doug Doug had TMJ and inner ear symptoms, and was aware that his teeth were beginning to chip and wear down, but he was unaware that these could be related. He also had no awareness of teeth clenching or grinding. To test this, he used a temporary nightguard which confirmed that tooth grinding was the missing link. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590506711308-ICAB0I5MNKBOA9LACGM7/2+preop+smile.JPG Smiles - Doug Dr. Therese recognized wear patterns in his teeth as well as tooth looseness related to his habit of tooth grinding. After years of dental care done in a "patchwork" or single-tooth approach, it was clear that in order for his teeth and dental work to last, he needed functional harmony between his teeth, smile, bite, and jaw joints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591216672249-60U5SWD5S54BNBG50AYD/Doug+watermark.png Smiles - Doug After extensive planning starting with stabilizing his TMJs, we could begin repairing the damage to his teeth. Doug's bite was rebuilt to a new, stable position with a combination of custom porcelain restorations and hand placed composite filling material. He then had a custom designed nightguard made to relieve pressure on his TMJs and his teeth while he slept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591216793183-KN696JBS0Z3ZFCXDI14I/Doug+watermark+2.png Smiles - Doug An added bonus to Doug was the significant cosmetic improvement to his smile. Because we planned this outcome with proper function of his teeth and jaw joints in mind, his handsome new smile was functionally balanced to protect his teeth from rapid breakdown in the future. https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/smiles/christine monthly 0.5 2020-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590635322578-40KP6O8ZG0HYYFTQ1S6J/preop%2Badjusted.jpg Smiles - Christine A history of breaking teeth multiple times a year and needing crowns or tooth removal had Christine convinced she would need dentures soon. She was embarrassed by her short, chipping front teeth and never showed them when she smiled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590635353439-IS50ZUY2ERGNAK24QTJM/IMG_4322.jpg Smiles - Christine Christine also regularly visited a Chiropractor for neck pain. She was unaware that an underlying tooth grinding problem could contribute to her pain and tooth breakage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591216212102-VJO8KBHFNG89JT3AC5VR/Christne+watermark+2.png Smiles - Christine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591216319970-GCERAA0O0QHQN6N3QJA4/Christine+watermark+3.png Smiles - Christine A combination of porcelain restorations, dental implants, and hand placed composite fillings were used to repair her worn smile, and a custom dental nightguard was fitted to protect her teeth at night. The final transformation was replacing a decades long habit of closed-lip smiling with a glow of confidence originating in a natural, comfortable smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591215893126-3H6TFF869F6F1MNLKEGT/Christine+watermark.png Smiles - Christine https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/smiles/ann monthly 0.5 2020-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590636178872-N2MRI9QWM76Z1SK2B0EW/IMG_0262.jpg Smiles - Ann Earlier in life, Ann experienced trauma to her front tooth, which was repaired with root canal therapy and a single crown. For years, Ann was unhappy with the appearance of her smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590636188860-XZBOGGS872WZH7EOG9ND/IMG_0264%2Blightened.jpg Smiles - Ann The proportions of her 2 front teeth were not symmetric. An underlying metal post created graying at the gumline. The only thing Ann liked was that her crown was white - but she wished the others matched. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591215357486-81CWIY8IQH4E5G2WKNKH/Ann+watermark.png Smiles - Ann https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591215468960-CWENY6KSOLFP169J03VD/Ann+watermark+2.png Smiles - Ann Custom porcelain restorations were fabricated with a master technician to create a life-like result. Because the changes were additive in nature, this allowed for maximum preservation of natural tooth structure for strength and longevity. https://www.pleasantvalleydentist.com/smiles/kathy monthly 0.5 2020-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590634731220-E2IJUCPZPWXFCB1BOT7S/1%2Bpreop%2Bsmile.jpg Smiles - Kathy Kathy was embarrassed by the appearance of her smile. She was wearing an old set of dentures that did not show teeth when she smiled, contributing to an overall aged appearance of her face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1590634740044-291GGIGQ6U99GWYE05HW/3%2Bpreop%2Bprofile.jpg Smiles - Kathy She also was unhappy with her underbite and the way her lips fell flat with nothing to support them. Kathy was unable to eat raw vegetables and many other foods because they would dislodge her prosthetics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591214925445-RLGR8XB2P4S3YZTT9P3Y/Kathy+watermark.png Smiles - Kathy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea702eeadc81e02de4ff3cc/1591215080424-6MAMCO48WM77NPBYVFAO/Kathy+watermark+2.png Smiles - Kathy Kathy's lips and cheeks were properly supported, which also contributed to a younger looking smile.
