Implant and Same-Day Implant Teeth Replacement
“I can eat now without being afraid, it’s life-changing.”
My teeth were getting very, very bad, and I didn’t know what direction to take or where to go or where to start. For a while, I was missing some teeth on the side of my mouth, so I really couldn’t smile fully because I was missing some teeth.
“I searched for a dentist online, and I saw her reviews. I think she had five stars, so that’s why I chose her. Dr. Pournik is awesome. Her staff is awesome.
“From the front office to the assistants, it’s a great place to come feel comfortable because getting dental work done is very stressful. It’s awesome to come to a place like this. Well, I can actually smile fully, and people constantly tell me I have beautiful teeth, and that’s just awesome to hear. I can eat now without being afraid, it’s life-changing.”

“Dr. Pournik makes you feel at home.”
“Dr. Pournik does great work. I’ve referred all my family to her now.
“I had extensive deterioration as I was born with no enamel on my teeth. I rebuilt my teeth with dental implants.
“She is going to give you options, whether veneers are better or implants, or other dentistry.
“Dr. Pournik is very personable and makes you feel at home when you come to her office.”

“I’m just so thrilled. I’m so happy.”
“The entire staff is so nice and so comforting. Everyone greets you with a smile. They are happy to work here.
“Her office is filled with high-tech equipment. That excited me because I hadn’t seen that. At the dentist offices I’ve been to, I hadn’t seen the different types of cameras that she uses and the equipment she had.
“I’m so happy. I’ve never had a straight bite, I’ve never had white teeth. I’ve always felt like I had a gray smile.”
— Julie
“Dr. Pournik actually gave me my smile back.”
“I chose Applewhite Dental Arts because I had a four-wheeler accident, and it broke the teeth from here back. I was losing bone density in my face, and it messed up my jawline. I had a hard time eating steak. I couldn’t chew.
“I wouldn’t smile, and I had gaps in my teeth back here where there were no teeth. So I would do my best not to smile hard.
“Dr. Pournik is caring, she’s genuine. Her staff is real; they care about you.
“Dr. Pournik gave me my smile back. I couldn’t eat and now I can. It’s amazing. I love it. I love being able to eat whatever I want, chew whatever I want, and smile whenever I want.”
— Tammy
“I can actually chew my food now.”
“I have a full mouth of teeth again, which I haven’t had for a very long time. I got five implants on the bottom and five on the top.
“It’s awesome, I can actually chew my food now. I don’t have to swallow food whole anymore. I hadn’t eaten an apple in five to seven years. And when I got the final new teeth in, I was able to.
“The staff are great. I felt really comfortable with them. It’s like a family. Everybody knows each other. Everybody gets along. It’s a good environment.”
— Michael
“It was the best decision that I ever made.”
“Dr. Pournik gave me new teeth on my upper arch, and I absolutely love them!
“My new smile has definitely given me confidence. I am getting a lot of compliments and it feels nice.
“Getting this done was the best decision that I have ever made.”
— Patty
“I feel that I can eat better.”
“When I came to visit this place, the first impression is that it’s very professional. They make me feel good. They make me feel comfortable with the treatment. She says she wants to do the upper total restoration because she wants to fix my bite.
“She saw some misalignment in my teeth to be corrected. I feel better. I feel that I can eat better. The whole area is nice and it looks even, and it feels good.”
— Marvin

“She’s just a very sweet, person. You can just tell.”
“When I walked in, it was cozy and warm. I liked coming in, and everyone was very friendly. It feels nice. It feels very up-to-date, like she knows pretty much all the latest stuff.
“Dr. Pournik’s been cleaning my teeth for a while. I had small teeth in high school, and so I got some veneers, but then those weren’t very good, and I’ve had to have them redone. The ones I have now I love, as she made them in proportion to my face and my teeth. Like she was thinking about different things to make it look optimal. It wasn’t just okay, like ‘what can we do to cover up this tooth since I’m taller and my face is rounder?’
“She had put all that into consideration when she figured out what kind of teeth I needed. I didn’t know if she was just that friendly to me, but when I referred my friends there, she said she was so nice and she’s just a very sweet, kind person. You can just tell.”
— Hope
“You can tell she put so much effort into our work.”
“The first time I had met Dr. Pournik, she seemed super inviting, very aware, like listening to all the details of what was happening and going through. I really appreciated the fact that they looked at so many different options. She put so much effort. You can tell she put so much effort into our work.
“Some of my teeth were a little discolored because I had like a bridge on one side and I had to have a root canal here and there. And so I didn’t like to smile big because I felt like you could see that color just change. It made me very, very uncomfortable.
“But these, I feel great. The pain, I don’t have any, I don’t have any discomfort. The only thing is, since they’re not the final ones, I have a little lisp every now and then. But other than that, it feels great.”

“I feel so much better, and I am so grateful to Dr. Pournik.”
“The first thing that caught me off guard was the friendliness of the staff. That was very different for me. Everyone was so inviting, so nice, and I just love her to death.
“Prior to coming to Dr. P, part of my issue was going to other dentists; anytime there was a problem, their solution was always to just pull the tooth. Dr. P was the first dentist who actually cared, and she’s like, ‘No, you are losing your molars. You don’t have your back teeth.’ Like, I’m not pulling another tooth outta your mouth. I’m gonna save it. And I got my first root canal.
“All of my real dental work has been with Dr. Pournik, and that’s the thing I love about her. She really and truly cares about her patients. She does, and that means a lot to me. I just love her to pieces I do, and I feel so much better, and I am so grateful to Dr. Pournik.”
