What can I say?  It's like seeing family...well maybe not...I don't like some of my family and I love you guys.... - E.W.

Dr. Kegler's office and staff is very professional and state of the art.  After visiting several dentists and moving from the area,  I am a proud patient of this practice.  I will recommend  you to all of my associates. Thank you for the great work you and your staff are doing.  You are a blessing. - R.C.

You guys are awesome! - L.B.

Great choice of the new receptionist!  She is very outgoing and seems to have a caring heart. - S.W.

I have always been terrified of dentists and avoided them at any cost, but I was getting married and wanted my teeth looking the best they could for my special day. My parents recommended Dr. Kegler because according to my mother he was painless. I was very conscious of how bad my teeth were when I first went to visit Dr. Kegler. He never made me feel uncomfortable, which other dentists in the past have done. He explained everything to me as he was going along and in terms that I could understand. The very first time I received a shot I was so afraid, but he was so gentle that you could hardly feel it. Anytime you are in the chair he is always concerned about whether you need a soft blanket, a different channel on the flat screen TV or if you are in any discomfort. He is up to date with the newest technology such as his digital x-rays. These x-rays save you time as a patient because you no longer have to wait for film to develop like other dentist offices. What can I say about the rest of the staff? Well they are great!! I don't know too many offices where the staff gets along as well as they do and everyone there is very friendly. Rose and Wendy have both been helpful with any questions that I have had and if they didn't have the answers they always went above and beyond to make sure someone could answer me. I would recommend anyone to come see Dr. Kegler even if you are terrified of dentist like I was. For the first time in my life I do not mind going to the dentist. After all the dental work I have amazing teeth and a not so bad smile (still getting use to not trying to hide my teeth). My wedding pictures turned out great and could not have asked for more. I would have never thought that fixing my teeth could have given me so much more confidence. I owe all that to Dr. Kegler. THANK YOU!!! - S. M.

You and your staff are amazing. Just a few months ago I was concerned about smiling too broadly, for fear my broken and missing teeth might show. When I did smile, all you could see was my hand covering my smile. In addition, I avoided going to a dentist out of both fear and embarrassment over the appearance of my teeth. Needless to say, smiling is no longer a problem, as you did a great job repairing my teeth, relatively painlessly I might add. However, more importantly, you and your staff always made me feel comfortable, never chastising me for the past. You have a patient for life!  See me smile! - M.E.

I really don't know how to thank you all for your kindness to me, so I'll tell you a few things...I have never really felt attractive. So, I decided to aim for the bottom of the average" or "acceptable" part of the scale when it came to physical / facial beauty. I decided to try to be more attractive spiritually, intellectually, humorously, etc. Even if you have some success in developing these areas of your life, it's still hard to feel as if you're on a level playing field with all the other people in the world who look normal. My teeth were one of the features of my countenance by which I was most embarrassed. I didn't even like to talk about how much I disliked them.I knew that there were ways to improve the appearance of my teeth, but I didn't really know where to start. I always felt that there were other things which should be higher priorities. I had developed an attitude which said that physical appearance shouldn't matter; that it was shallow to worry about such things - a self-defense mechanism, I suppose. Then it occurred to me that it wasn't all about me. I wouldn't want my children to feel the way about themselves that I have always felt about myself (dentally, anyway). I thought about how ludicrous it would be for them to feel badly for even one minute about something that could be so easily fixed. I decided that it was time to apply the same standard to myself for once, and I went to see Dr. Kegler. Dr. Kegler and his staff made this all so easy for me. When you feel unattractive, it can be uncomfortable to focus attention on the area of perceived unattractiveness, even if it is with the person who can make it better. I never felt uncomfortable in any way during this process. Every one in Dr. Kegler's office is so personable and sincere that this issue never arose for me. The hardest part was walking in the door. From then on, it was smooth sailing. Actually, it was kind of fun most of the time. There is a great sense of humor in the office. Dr. Kegler is extremely concerned about pain control. Even though I always try to deny pain, Dr. Kegler always knew if I was feeling even a twinge. I don't know how he did that, but he was always right. Mouth pain is one of the worst kinds of pain, but I didn't even have to think about it. I didn't have to feel it. I think I may have even fallen asleep in the chair once or twice, possibly due to the great blankets provided for those of us who are easily chilled.  Last weekend, I attended cub scout camp with my son. Through this organization, I have met lots of new friends who never saw my old teeth. I was standing outside in the beautiful autumnal sunshine by the lake one day. I was talking to another "scout-mom" about who-knows-what, when one of the dads called my name and said, "Hey, look over here!" When I turned around, he said to a couple of other guys "See, I told you. Her teeth are just perfect." I was not a good scout, as I was not "prepared" for this moment. It took me a minute to say thank you. During this minute, during which time seemed to stop, I was thinking "Wow, I must have been smiling. I would never have done that before. I did it without even thinking about it. That is how much this has changed my life. Changed me. To be able to feel like everyone else- is priceless. To be able to be lost in a moment of pointless conversation with another person you've just met, without being self-conscious about your teeth, is now easy, though previously unimaginable. What in the world took me so long?? I never realized what a barrier existed between me and my enjoyment of other people and experiences. What a "lightbulb moment."  Thanks for everything. See you soon.  - D. G. 

I wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the service that you and your staff provide to my family. It's no secret that the average person doesn't rank visits with your profession that high on their list. But I can honestly tell you that you have removed the apprehension and anxiety that is normally associated with the “dreaded” dentist appointment. It has become clear that you and your staff's motivation lie in the comfort and satisfaction your patients feel while visiting the office. I am impressed with the efforts you have made to ensure that your patients are getting the most current care through updated technology. No doubt you have personally saved me time, pain and money by diagnosing and prescribing treatments or preventative measures that ensure LESS visits to your office. In addition to the "tools" you use your staff is very gracious and (can I say it?) fun to be around. I am presented with many decisions each day – thanks for making this one of the easiest.  From my family to yours – thank you.  Kind Regards,  Beau, Lisa, Chance, Banks and Charley Lacey

 I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Kegler and his staff at Artistic Smiles. I am always pleased with the professionalism and care that I receive when I am treated there. I appreciate the warm, friendly environment that exists in the office. Although going to the dentist is not something that most people enjoy, it is something that I have learned to appreciate due to the wonderful service and treatment I receive at Dr. Kegler's office. The state of the art equipment and atmosphere in the office is also impressive. I wish that I could make every routine appointment as enjoyable as it is at Artistic Smiles. From the moment that you walk into the office, you are greeted with a smile and a warm reception. I will not receive dental care anywhwere other than with Dr. Kegler and his wonderful staff! - J.B.
