I'm in sales and it matters to have a great smile. I got to meet Jeffrey Heinz personally and talked with him and I said I don't care if he costs more! I had such a great experience and it felt like they really cared and cared enough to sit down and hear my desires for my smile. He was able to put together a plan that was a lot less invasive for my grandson too.
