Greg's Story

Greg's Story: From Street Tough to Confident Smile  

Greg's Journey with Smile Code

Greg’s story begins on the tough, vibrant courts of Washington Heights, where he learned a certain kind of strength. He was the undersized kid with an oversized heart, fearlessly tackling giants on the tackle football field. His grit was his trademark, and his resilience was a force of nature. So much so, that a chipped or broken tooth was just a badge of honor, something he could shrug off without a second thought. 

But time has a way of collecting those battle scars. Years later, the grit that built his successful construction company was still there, but his smile told a story he no longer wanted to tell. Teeth had been lost, others had shifted into crooked positions, and decay had set in. The very toughness that defined him began to cast a shadow in boardrooms. He saw it in the hesitant glances of potential clients—a silent question: "Is he angry? Can we trust him?" Greg realized his smile, was accidentally building walls instead of bridges. 

He decided it was time for a new kind of construction project—his own.

We were honored when Greg walked through our doors, not with toughness, but with trust. He was one of the most grateful and pleasant people we’ve had the pleasure of working with, always smiling with his eyes, always thanking us, and placing his confidence in our care. 

His transformation wasn't a quick fix; it was a meticulous rebuild. We laid a new foundation with dental implants, restored damaged teeth, and revitalized his gum health. It was a journey we took together, step by step. 

Today, Greg’s smile is as strong and reliable as the man himself. It’s a smile that now opens doors, puts clients at ease, and reflects the truly warm and successful person he is. He can handle any construction job that comes his way, and now, his beautifully reconstructed smile is built to last a lifetime.

Smiles that last a lifetime are made here. Start your journey today.
