PLEASE, CARE FOR YOUR TEETH.    IF YOU THINK THEY ARE NOT IMPORTANT ... CONSIDER CHEWING WITHOUT THEM.
The following testimonials are from some of our patients who have had dental implants placed as part of their cosmetic dentistry needs. In some cases, Dental Implants have made significant differences in their lives. Not every patient is a suitable candidate for dental implants; however, other cosmetic dentistry procedures can be considered.

"I went to my husband's boss, Dr. Queen ... an orthodontist ... to get the stitches removed, and he said (you had done) an extremely wonderful job on the Implants. I told him that is why I (drove) to Alberta. So I just wanted to tell you, as Dr Queen is well known in Kamloops as one of the best Orthodontists. ... he was impressed (with) Dr Leigh's work. Thanks again, see you in July."
Leilani Lacasse,
Kamloops, British Columbia

"Thank you to you and your staff for the wonderful care and consideration when I needed one tooth repaired. I am glad I did not choose the root canal but opted for the implant as you recommended. I would definitely not hesitate to have another implant, your expert advice and caring attitude have put me at ease. Your staff is amazing, so kind and considerate, and all the questions I put forth were answered in a language that I understood.
I now have a tooth that will last a lifetime. It is comforting to know that I will probably never have to worry about this particular tooth again.  When my husband called your office to ask your advice on what to do with this tooth that had shooting pain up through the top of my mouth and face, you said we could come in the next day. Tylenol 3’s could not stop that shooting pain, so you pulled the tooth and put the implant in at the same time and it was absolutely painless. The only discomfort I has was from the tooth being pulled. It took only days for the stitches to heal and there was virtually little or no pain and discomfort.
When the stitches were out and after a few months of healing, we made the trip to Westlock again to get the new tooth. It is wonderful; anyone looking in my mouth could not tell which tooth is the implant. It looks and feels real. The costs maybe seem high at the time, at approximately $3,000 for one tooth, but knowing it will last for the rest of my life and will probably never have to have anything done to this tooth is the greatest feeling of all.
I truly appreciate the great care that was given me on each and every visit to your clinic. You and your staff are wonderful, you really do care. Another implant will be the way to go for me if the time comes for extensive work to be done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I am writing to provide you with testimonial comments. In general, your service and clinic have been a very good experience for me - compared to the alternatives. I recommend your service to anyone living within 150 km of Westlock. I live in Edmonton; even so I found the extra travel well worth the time and mileage. For me, your implant service has been all-round valuable. The care and treatment provided by yourself and your staff has been professional and friendly. I met with two other implant specialists. Their advice did not answer my concerns about treatment, treatment duration, or potential future problems. So I was happy to hear you say to me "Your type of case is the bread-and-butter of this clinic". Yes, my treatment was just like the Doctor said, on time and on budget - no surprises, no problems.
The surgical placement of the implants made me nervous (small tip: hearing aids amplify the sound of the drilling). I expected more pain and swelling after the operation, but it was better than I expected. The two big benefits for me have been much improved oral health, and at a reasonable cost. Because your quote was most reasonable, I have been able to get every aspect of the dental care that I need done more quickly. I am very grateful to you and the staff.

"I would like to thank Dr. Leigh and his staff for the excellent care I received when having my implants done. Dr. Leigh did three implants in my lower jaw. I found the centre on the internet while searching for an affordable treatment centre. Upon phoning the centre I was immediately put at ease by the friendly, helpful staff. My request for a quote was answered promptly. I travelled several provinces to get to the centre and was able to arrange for the procedure to be done on my
vacation time. Dr. Leigh explained step by step all that he was doing and he or his assistant answered my questions fully.  My recovery time was short. The first night after the procedure I had to use prescribed pain medication and for the next few days I used inflammatory drugs. The second part of the procedure was done several months later.  Impressions were done and two weeks later my crowns were placed. The investment I made is worth every penny.  I would recommend Dr. Leigh for restorative work to family, friends and co-workers."
Sincerely,
Diana Koski

"Dr. Leigh is very skilled and has the ability to diagnose implant as well as prosthetic considerations for his patients." 
"I feel that Robert (Leigh) is a credit to our profession; he adds maturity as well as sincerity to those that his life touches. Dr. Leigh has a great desire to help people and this is obvious as you watch him work."
Dr. Alfred L. (Duke) Heller
Director of the Midwest Implant Institute

"From the very first visit, I felt confident in Dr. Leigh's ability as he took the time to explain in every detail what was required during the dental implant procedure." "As an orthopaedic surgeon I was able to appreciate what an exacting procedure dental implant surgery was. His surgical skill and compassionate care was very impressive to me and the results (were) have been excellent."
Dr. Gordon Cameron, M.D.
Assistant Clinical Professor (Retired)
Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alberta
(Former Orthopaedic Consultant to the Edmonton Oilers)

"Dr. Leigh welcomed me into his office to train in implant dentistry. I left his office with a confidence of the procedure due to his great talent and teaching skills. I would highly recommend him for your Implant Dentistry needs."
Dr. Norman Elloway, D.D.S.
Associate Fellow, American Academy of Implant Dentistry
Novato, California (U.S.A.)

"In the past I have had the opportunity to both observe and assist Dr. Leigh in many surgical procedures. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Leigh's abilities in the field of Dental Implantology and I am prepared to attest to his clinical skills at any time."
Mrs. Bernice Hoult, R.D.A. Level II

"You just look after them (dental implants) like they were your own teeth and that's how they feel. After receiving my implant-supported lower denture I was able to eat beef jerky for the first time in years."
Ron Kereliuk

"Dr. Leigh is a dentist who makes you feel very comfortable in his office, as do his assistants and receptionist." "Dr. Leigh installed all three of the implants in one morning ... and he explained everything he was doing all the time."    "Dr. Leigh took great care in making sure that the implant crowns would be the same colour as my own teeth and that they would fit perfectly, which they do. No-one can tell which are implants or my own teeth."   "Dr. Leigh and his staff will make you feel so at ease during the procedure and they try to work around your schedule."   "As for implants, I'd never have it any other way."
Olga Wingrove.

"You are very kind and caring people. I feel honoured with the extra time and care you have taken. A special thanks to Dr. Leigh for a great job."
Georgina Rand.

"Recently, I had some complicated dental work completed in your office. It involved a dental implant, a bone graft, surgery to remove infected material, a root canal and the installation of a bridge. During the process, complications developed which would have caused most dentists to give up in frustration. You persevered and completed the procedures with utmost kindness and professionalism - giving of your time and losing some income in the process. I appreciate what you have done and will recommend your services to family,
friends and colleagues."
W. Gray Jones,
Founder, Boreal Forest Campaign
Western Canada Wilderness Committee

"It is all thanks to Dr. Leigh and his staff that I can eat all these things again ... steak, corn on the cob, beef jerky, popcorn, chewing gum, apples, carrots. Thank you Dr. Leigh and staff.
Dianne Steinke.

"Thank you very much for the caring, gentle treatment that I received while you worked your magic and gave me a whole new 'working jaw' because of the dental implants. I am the world's biggest coward in a dentist's chair, but because of the SUPERLATIVE professionalism of you and your staff, patients such as myself benefit every time we enter your care. I feel blessed to have you as my 'dental team'. Thank you once again for my 'new smile'. I would recommend you and your staff to anyone needing a fantastic dentist and staff for any kind of dental work. Sincerely,"
Shirley Kirstein.

"I would like to thank you for making my bottom teeth for me. They fit lovely, and now I can chew whatever food I need to have. I never felt afraid to get my teeth fixed because you were so kind and gentle when doing the job. Thank you very much."
Lillia Martin.

"Dr. Leigh did four implants in my lower jaw.  The procedure was explained to me in a thorough manner and all questions were answered completely.  I found Dr. Leigh to be very caring and thorough during my implant procedures, as well as all of the other dental procedures he completed.  I am considering having more implants and would most definitely have Dr. Leigh perform the procedure.  I would recommend Dr. Leigh to any of my friends or family.
Barb Morton, West Baptiste Lake, AB

"I would have the treatment done again, and I value the complete service that I received.  With excellent care from the entire staff, the surgical placement was good and I did not require any time off work.  The treatment has greatly benefited me; therefore this investment in dentistry was of value, because now I don't have to worry about loose teeth.  I was well informed of the various phases of the treatment and my expectations were met.  Two months after the surgery, I had to go to Rainbow Lake and had my lower denture inserted at that time.  I have never looked back -- the best fit I've ever had.  I can eat apples now with no problem.  I have to be careful because sometimes my bite is so powerful that I have to watch I don't break my teeth.  ... there are no aspects that I know of that the (dental) office could improve upon to provide a better service.
Rick Pingert, Ft. Assiniboine, AB

"Dr. Leigh, I am a 43-year old male who has lived in Canada for over twenty years.  I've experienced lots of dental work in the past (and) have been in the dental chair many times with several doctors.  My only alternative was to have dentures or dental implants put in.  I was very nervous about the whole procedure, and unsure of the side effects.  The type of work I do requires me to smile a lot.  Unfortunately, I felt insecure on a day to day basis.  I didn't realize the value of a smile until it was gone." "(You) suggested this (implant) procedure as a great opportunity.  As a diabetic, I have high blood
pressure, and I was unsure that this type of surgery was suitable for me.  But I was proven wrong.  I highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is in my situation.  (The procedure) lasted only three hours, and I experienced very little pain or discomfort.  I expected my jaw to be sore, but amazingly it wasn't.  I usually have a low pain tolerance, but this procedure surprised me.  I was given anti-inflammatories and Tylenol 3. It might be a more expensive procedure, but it was well worth it.  To the staff of the (Implant Smile Center) thank you for the professionalism and courtesy I have received.  ... a smile is priceless."
Ramzi Fakhreddine.

Dr. Leigh and Staff. Thank you for your caring and kindness. You are all so very pleasant, you truly make all your patients feel comfortable. Thank you again.
Rosemarie Breitkreutz.
