Hi Suzie... Hi Mom...

Our patient had a painful accident on his stryker--an armored vehicle used in Iraq. His job is the gunner who sits on top.

While on patrol, the driver braked to avoid a dog and our patient smashed into his .50 caliber machine gun. Stunned, he felt his face and a buddy told him his front teeth were broken. Ouch!

To compound matters, our patient goes on leave this week. So he made a hasty visit to our clinic. Though porcelain veneers would be ideal, we were able to patch things together and improve his smile. Gotta look good for two important people back home: the girlfriend and mom!
