- VeneersNo-prep veneers (with no drilling and no shots) before going back for her sophomore year at Baylor. Her new smile just popped!
- CrownsUPDATE: Yesterday I received 10 crowns! And with time enough for me to make it to my mechanical engineering 1 lecture with an even better smile and an even better outlook! Because I had class, I asked not to be given anything other than a topical numbing agent. You would think I am just tough, but I am not. Dr. Coker and his office are the most delicate and compassionate people I have met. I feel like I'm being raised by a village!

- Root Canal Treatment“ I am a Critical Care Tech/ CNA in the ICU at our local critical access hospital. I am also a nursing student and intern at the same hospital. I’ve always been very insecure about my smile and had bad teeth. I’m 26, married with two children, 5 and 2. I was trying to get my teeth fixed before this covid ordeal and needed 3 root canals. Then the lock down happened and all the dentists closed, except one who does not do root canals. I was in severe pain, but desperately needed at the hospital to work. One tooth abscessed and it hurt so badly. I ended up getting two teeth pulled so I could continue to help out at the hospital during this. When I was younger I broke my two front teeth and had to get crowns, and they’re very large for me and stick out. The rest of my teeth are in poor condition and I’m just in pain all the time. It affects how I can eat. I’m embarrassed to laugh or smile. It would be life changing to be able to be happy with my smile. Just to be able to eat without pain would be life changing.
- DenturesDenise was an attractive 50-year-old woman with dentures. She came in because she felt like she looked older than she was. After people lose their teeth, there is nothing to hold the bone in place so people begin to look like their face has collapsed when wearing regular dentures. We told Denise about our
- Dental ImplantsHe easily fixed a problem with my tooth that has existed since 2017, while 2 other dentists/jaw specialists made me think it was too far gone to fix, and the tooth would have to be pulled or an implant. Dr. Coker is so calming and reassuring. Staff is so incredibly friendly. I trust him and am so glad he can help me fix issues I’ve had for years.
- OrthodonticsRobert came in for a second opinion. His teeth and jaws hurt so much that he could only eat soft food. The previous office had suggested full-mouth orthodontics, but he felt too bad to even think about 2-years in braces. We suggested changing his bite which is complicated and takes advanced training and special tools like the K-7 and the Tech-Scan. After his treatment, his jaws felt great and he was able to eat anything he wanted. He also looked great.
