“I was afraid of not being able to get numb or stay numb, but my experience was amazing: fast and painfree!”

“This was my first visit under Dr. Rementer’s care. I cracked a lower molar, and had been in pain for several days, with changes in the temperature and when chewing.

“I was afraid of not being able to get numb or stay numb, but my experience was amazing: fast and painfree. Dr. Rementer and the staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. Not to mention that she explained everything she did in giving me the beautiful onlay I’m going home with. I will be recommending her to everyone I know!”

Andrew Lasitter


“Dr. Rementer is the BEST dentist in the world. I was terrified to have my tooth extracted and then she had it out in only two minutes with no pain. I think she is a dental genius and a TRUE Humanitarian. Thank you, Dr. Rementer.l”

Jade Kelley


“The office and everyone that works here is great and always makes every visit great. Now who says that about a dental visit?”

“I have been a patient for 17 years.

“Our relationship started with my dental health in dire straits. My wife was a patient of Dr. Rementer’s, and said she liked her and I should give her a try. I did, got myself back on track dental-wise and have been here ever since.

I got a partial and some other work done.

“The office and everyone that works here is great and always makes every visit great. Now who says that about a dental visit?”

Denis Hayes


I’ve had a variety of procedures – teeth whitening,  crowns and CEREC

“We started seeing Dr. Rementer about 19 years ago. I have always found the office to be warm and professional.

“I’ve had a variety of procedures – teeth whitening, crowns and CEREC. The small touches are important – warm blankets, cloud ceiling tiles to look at while they are working on you.”

Pam Wardell

 

 

 

“I now look forward to coming to the dentist. I have felt no pain when I’m worked on. The staff makes you feel like you are a friend and not just a patient.”

“I highly recommend Dr. Marcia Rementer. I was looking for a dentist that I could feel comfortable with.

“I was horrified of a dentist. I have had a lot of dental work done. I now look forward to coming to the dentist. I have felt no pain when I’m worked on. The staff makes you feel like you are a friend and not just a patient.

“When you walk in it doesn’t feel like a boring doctor’s office. It is like walking into a friend’s home. As for the staff, I could not ask for a friendlier and caring staff. I feel like I have known these people for years. If I recommend a dentist, THEY ARE GOOD.

“Thank you for the caring attention I have gotten. Everyone here is GREAT.”

Doris Cotts


“I learned about her through her website, and chose her because she stays on the cutting edge of dental research and treatment.” Dr.  Rementer and her staff are always compassionate, ensuring that I have a  pain-free experience

“It had been 10 years since I had been to the dentist and my teeth hurt. I checked around and decided to go to Dr. Rementer. Before I went, I called her and explained my situation. I asked her not to scold me for my bad habits. My mouth was in bad shape, and as she got ready to read me the riot act, I reminded her of our agreement.

“From there, I have felt that I have been in a partnership with Dr. Rementer to keep my teeth in shape. After Dr. Rementer fixed the initial problems, my most pressing problem is having my old fillings replaced. Dr. Rementer has a technique that puts an “IV” on the gum which numbs just the tooth she is working on.  30 minutes after the procedure, my mouth felt normal, yeah!

“ The staff is great, and Jean always greets you by name and with a big smile.”

Rob Marks


“I have been coming to see Dr. Rementer and her staff since November 1991. I come in and it feels like seeing family that you have not seen in a while. Everyone is always ready to help me keep my teeth and dental hygiene in order.

“Any time that an emergency has come up, the office has been able to help. Dr. Rementer, Dennis, Jeanne and all the staff are very kind and thoughtful people. I have and do refer others to the practice.”

Stuart Carr


“She is very thoughtful about individual concerns about dental work -- I have very sensitive teeth and she is extra careful about my comfort.”

“I have been a patient since Dr. Rementer started her practice – a satisfied customer since 1986!

“Dr. Rementer is friendly.  She is very thoughtful about individual concerns about dental work -- I have very sensitive teeth and she is extra careful about my comfort. She is continuously upgrading her practice and offering innovative new procedures – but she doesn’t push them on the patients.

“The staff are all friendly and competent, and scheduling is easy. Appointments are available at many different times of day, and they even remind me about appointments by email. The office always runs right on time!”

Cynthia Kuhn


“I thank you for giving me my life back! I had to teach myself to smile again because I haven’t smiled in so long. My smile is now beautiful and everyone deserves to feel the way I do now. Lots of heartfelt thanks.”

John B.


“I have been a patient of Dr. Rementer now for two months, and I can truly say that she is a brilliant dentist. I feel so blessed to have met her and her great staff. I would refer her to anyone, and I have. Thanks again.”

Melanie Poole


“I am particularly pleased with the CEREC crowns Dr. Rementer has used to replace my old amalgam fillings.”

CEREC crowns patient

“Growing up in England I developed a morbid fear of dentists and dentistry, so by the time I found Dr. Rementer, through recommendations from friends, my teeth were in need of serious repair. In those early days of our doctor/patient relationship, the primary value to me of Dr. Rementer’s practice was the fact that she provided a painless and stress-free service.

“Over the intervening years, as she rebuilt my teeth and made me increasingly more comfortable in visiting the dentist chair, my family and I developed a personal relationship with Dr. Rementer and her wonderful staff. Today, the value of this relationship transcends that of the typical patient to medical service provider.

I am particularly pleased with the CEREC crowns Dr. Rementer has used to replace my old amalgam fillings. It is a comfort now to open my mouth and not have those ugly black patches stare back at me, and not to have to wonder about the chemical makeup of that old technology, and how they may be affecting my general health.”

Steven Gibson


“The care and concern for all these years has been wonderful. I never dread coming; I look forward to seeing everyone. “

“It had been way too many years since I had been to the dentist. Then one day a tooth broke. The problem then, who should I see? The phone book had the right clue: a wonderful ad with a ‘smiley’ face that just said, ‘Come here…we’re family!’

“That was around 10+ years ago. And what I have learned is that this is family! Everyone that has worked here has welcomed me into their ‘home’ as part of their family.

“The care and concern for all these years has been wonderful. I never dread coming; I look forward to seeing everyone.

“I was so lucky to have seen that ‘smiley’ face, and I hope to visit this part of my family for many years to come. Thank to all of you.”

Pam Phillips


“Dr. Rementer also has state-of-the-art equipment. It is certainly important to me to have up-to-date equipment and keep up with new technology.”

“I would have to say from the first day I walked into Dr. Rementer’s office in April of 2004, it felt like no other dentist office. Jean made me feel so comfortable: she answered all my questions concerning financing and all the dental work which I had only dreamed of doing.

“The staff is down to earth and they are the greatest people to be around. I never thought of having fun going to a dentist. The staff makes sure you are comfortable by providing you with a blanket and giving you a control for you massage chair.

“I am having a lot of dental work done and can hardly wait for the finished product. I look forward to each visit because it is such a relaxing environment. Dr. Rementer also has state-of-the-art equipment. It is certainly important to me to have up-to-date equipment and keep up with new technology.  

“I have recommended one of my co-workers to Dr. Rementer.

“Thank you so much Dr. Rementer and all of your wonderful staff for all your great work. I am looking forward to more visits.”

Liz Harris


“One day I was riding down Carver Street and saw a dentist office. I thought that I would stop to see if I could get an appointment. When I walked in the office everyone was pleasant and helpful. I talked to the receptionist and the rest is history.

“Dr. Rementer met with me and consulted me on the dental work I should consider. She answered all my questions and was very helpful.

“She has done a lot of dental work for me that took several months. I have been very pleased with her work. My teeth are beautiful and clean. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Judy Ammons


“I don’t know what took me so long. If I had known what I could look like with a new smile, I would have been smiling years ago. Thank you!”

“Every time I looked in the mirror (before having my smile makeover), I knew I had to do something about my teeth. I hated the way they looked, but never considered having a total “smile makeover”. It just wasn’t something I thought I would chance (they are my teeth and all).

“It wasn’t until I saw how many options I had to redo my smile that I decided to look into the process of having something done. I decided to go for it. I was excited to have the work done, but at the same time scared that I might hate them, the way they looked.

“After having the work completed and polished up, I am so glad I went for it. I don’t know what took me so long. If I had known what I could look like with a new smile, I would have been smiling years ago. Thank you.”

Michelle Thompson


“If anyone asks me about porcelain veneers and what they can do today, I would say, by all means JUST DO IT! The result is something that makes you feel better and more confident. What better investment is out there?

“Why did I wait so long?

“I feel so much better about smiling and about my teeth that words cannot explain. The porcelain veneers completely cover all the tetracycline grayness that has covered my teeth for years.

“In the first day of having my new smile, I think I smiled more in one day than I have in one month. Now, I cannot wait for somebody to take my pictures, when before it was something I dreaded.

“I commend you and your staff for doing a magnificent job in making the process painless and fun. It is clear that your team’s main concern is patient comfort, which is not always the case in procedures like this.

“The veneers are something that I always thought about doing, but was hesitant to move forward for one reason or another.

“In the future, I know the answer is clear: if anyone asks me about porcelain veneers and what they can do today, I would say, by all means JUST DO IT! The result is something that makes you feel better and more confident. What better investment is out there? It is the best decision I have made in a long time. (And, I just bought a new house!!).

Thanks again and best regards.”

“I’ve spent the last two weeks walking around smiling at people just because it feels good, because I can and because nobody’s staring at me now.”

“I don’t believe I walked around forty years as ugly as I did. Forty isn’t old, forty is great! I quit smoking, I lost thirty pounds, I work out every day and for the very first time in my whole life, I can smile! I feel like Peter Pan singing “I can fly!” except my song is “I can smile!”

“I have to remind myself that it’s okay to open my mouth now when I smile. I keep forgetting! Even with my temps, I’ve spent the last two weeks walking around smiling at people just because it feels good, because I can and because nobody’s staring at me now.

“This is more money than I have ever spent on anything in my entire life, including cars. But put a price-tag on having a smile. Fifteen thousand dollars is a small price to pay for self-confidence and the ability to walk around feeling great and being able to project that to other people.

“Thanks to all of you for your kindness, competence and understanding. See you in two weeks for my cleaning!”

Amy S.


“Thanks to you and your skills in cosmetic dentistry, I got a new smile in a matter of months instead of years.”

“I want to thank you for my wonderful smile!

“Throughout my business career, I had always felt shy about meeting new people or speaking in front of a group because my teeth were not straight. However, I did not want to wear braces to correct the problem because I knew that I would feel extremely uncomfortable wearing them in business situations.

“Thanks to you and your skills in cosmetic dentistry, I got a new smile in a matter of months instead of years. You and your staff did wonders in reducing my anxiety about the whole procedure and assuring me that everything would turn out great- which it did! I had worried because I didn’t like my smile. It’s a great feeling to know I never have to worry about it again.”

Susan Horash


“This letter has taken me so long to write because I have yet to find the words that could adequately express my sincere gratitude to you and your staff!

“As you remember, I’ve had three oral surgeries and two sets of braces and even after all that, I was left with a smile I was still self-conscious of. I was leery, to say the least, of one more treatment of any kind due to the disappointments of the past. Coming to your office was amazing!

“As far back as I can remember, I have been embarrassed of my smile. For the first time in my life, I am not self-conscious of my smile and for the first time in my life, I enjoy smiling! I’m doing a lot of it too, thanks to you!

“You and your staff were always so incredibly friendly and informative. I never felt rushed to make a decision and was given several choices to consider. More important was your perfectionism and sense of pride in your work and you wanting met to be happy with my smile.

“You have given me such a wonderful gift and I thank you so very much. No words could possibly express the happiness I feel each time I smile now. It’s so wonderful to laugh freely without having to worry about covering my mouth. You left me with a prettier smile, but also a healthier mouth.

“I wish I would have found you years ago!

“With every smile I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Thanks again.”

“Wendy, Tracy and Dr. Rementer were sensitive to my needs and let things go at a pace I was comfortable with. Because of their tenderheartedness, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel; a beautiful smile!”

“For as long as I can remember, I have been afraid of the dentist. Because of fears, my teeth were terribly neglected, which in the long run led to more bad dental experiences.

“As I grew older, I realized this was a fear I needed to overcome, for my health and a happier visit.

‘I knew I needed a dentist that would be sensitive to my fears. After reviewing some websites, I settled on Dr. Rementer’s office. I took the plunge and made a call for a consultation.

“With my first visit, I was impressed. Denis took the time to get to know me and let me explain my past experiences. I immediately felt like he cared about me and wanted to help me overcome this. With my next few appointments, Wendy, Tracy and Dr. Rementer were sensitive to my needs and let things go at a pace I was comfortable with. Because of their tenderheartedness, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel; a beautiful smile! Thank you!”

Sabrina Australie


“I like the people here, they are my kind of people. Everyone is in a good mood.”

“My daughter’s orthodontist, Dr. Robert Mason, highly recommended that I see Dr. Marcia Rementer for my dental treatment, and I am so glad that I acted on that recommendation.

“My first visit and every subsequent visit have been very pleasant experiences. I am well satisfied. Treatment of my teeth and me, as a person, always has been good. I like the people here, they are my kind of people. Everyone is in a good mood.

“Dr. Rementer is exceptionally nice. I liked her right away. She is very sincere. She wants to do the right thing for you. Dr. Rementer listened to my dental goals and made treatment recommendations based on those goals. I was a bit hesitant, at first. Not too many docs give you a plan to reach your goals and then tell you that it’s up to you whether or not you reach that goal.

“It took me almost two years to decide to have Dr. Rementer put in a bridge. But, I am glad that I did. It has worked so well. It is keeping my other teeth in line. Everything Dr. Rementer told me about reaching my goal has worked out just fine.

“Yes, dental treatment can be expensive, but getting treatment done that makes you feel better about yourself, well, I don’t know how you can put a price on that feeling.

“And, I took to Wendy my hygienist right away. She is my buddy.

“It’s all been a good experience, coming to see Dr. Rementer. They even run on time! I see lots of doctors and yesterday I waited over three hours to have my pacemaker recharged. Here, they are very punctual. When I have a 9 AM appointment, that is when Tracy or Wendy come to get me.”

Clifton Mangum


“Dr. Rementer’s professionalism provided a wonderful, new bridge. Her caring and compassion provided a wonderful, new open-mouth SMILE.”

 “I am in my 16th year with Dr. Rementer and family. Hard to believe it’s been that long. When we first met, my mouth was a terrible embarrassment. The accident that smashed my mouth at age eleven made the next six years very awkward. The partial plate was in no way anything to smile about. Six years of ‘closed-mouth’ smiles and always a ‘hand-over-my mouth’ laugh.

“Dr. Rementer’s professionalism provided a wonderful, new bridge. Her caring and compassion provided a wonderful, new ‘open-mouth’ SMILE.”

Dana Staples


“I was interested in a finding a dental office convenient to my office that I could bring my mother to. She received excellent care, and since her death four years ago it means so much more to me personally because the care she received I am now receiving.

“Dr. Rementer is great fun to talk to and the staff is so very nice. Can you imagine enjoying a trip to the dentist?”

Carol G.


“To anyone who has lost self-esteem and confidence due to their smile making them feel sad, worried and nervous (just like I was when I first came into the waiting room): let me assure you that you cannot get a better team.”

“I am just writing to thank you for the incredible smile that you gave me. I have been smiling from ear to ear ever since I left your office with my new smile.

“When I had gum surgery that completely ruined my smile, I was devastated and I lost all my confidence. Not to mention the fact that I really believed my career as a professional magician was over, until I discovered your practice. I thought I was good at magic, but you are a true magician.

“I would also like to thank all your staff at your practice for their kindness, professionalism, and ability to put me at ease. It is the first time that I have entered a Dentist Practice without fainting, and I now look forward to a lifetime of excellent dental care at your practice.

“To anyone that may be sitting in the waiting room of your practice that gets to read this letter, to anyone who has lost self-esteem and confidence due to their smile making them feel sad, worried and nervous (just like I was when I first came into the waiting room): let me assure you that you cannot get a better team. Thank you again.”

“I wanted to advance in my career. I wanted to improve my self-confidence. To accomplish these goals, I knew that I would need to do something about my teeth.”

“I was completely terrified of visiting the dentist because of childhood experiences that were seared in my memory. My unfortunate experiences set me up to neglect my oral care. My teeth got worse and worse. I was embarrassed. I was not smiling.

“Recently I turned 40. I wanted to advance in my career. I wanted to improve my self-confidence. To accomplish these goals, I knew that I would need to do something about my teeth.

“I decided to try Dr. Rementer and I am glad I did. Making the phone call, I was a nervous wreck. Jean was very reassuring and she greeted me when I came in the door. She made it so easy. All the people here are very nice. Denis took the time to listen to what I wanted. He validates my feelings. He did not dismiss my fears.

“Dr. Rementer and her assistant Tracy let me know what was going to happen. They gave me options and let me choose my plan of care. That was huge.

“Now, I have beautiful teeth. I thank Dr. Rementer and her wonderful staff from the bottom of my heart. I would tell anyone in my situation to come here and just do it.”

Dana Bland


“Dr. Rementer never makes me feel rushed to make a decision and usually she gives me several options to consider.”

“My wife Debbie and I have been patients of Dr. Rementer since her office was located on Guess Road. That means Dr. Rementer has cared for our dental health since the late 1980s. Yes, you can say Dr. Rementer and us go back a long ways. I like to think that we have a relationship built on trust and great service.

“Dr. Rementer is nice and friendly to me. I know she must have her moments (after all, she does have two teenage daughters and a husband), but Dr. Rementer always presents a cheerful smile.

“Dr. Rementer is an excellent dentist. She is thoughtful and caring. She listens to your wants, desires and dental goals and she gives you a plan to reach those goals. Dr. Rementer never makes me feel rushed to make a decision and usually she gives me several options to consider.

“Dr. Rementer emphasizes a proactive, preventive care approach to dentistry. Fix the problem while it is small and manageable. And that approach has worked for me. Since Dr. Rementer replaced my silver-mercury fillings with tooth colored restorations and she adjusted my bite a number of years ago, I come in twice a year for a cleaning. I actually enjoy visiting my dentist! The rest of the staff, Jean, Wendy, Tracy and Denis are so incredibly friendly and informative.

“Dr. Rementer, you have given me a wonderful gift (a healthy smile), and I thank you so very much.

“To anyone reading this note, let me say that having a healthy smile is a fabulous feeling. If you are thinking about having a treatment, I urge you to “Just do it!” You will be relieved, happy and most of all, in the best hands throughout your treatment.”
