Thanks to Dental Touch, this once “hardly ever smile” guy who was always afraid to smile due to sports damage to my teeth, doesn’t stop Smiling and I am VERY CONFIDENT to do so! Everyone notices that I seem to be a lot happier than ever before. What a great feeling and boost when people notice my smile and impeccable teeth! Thank You Dr. McLaughlin and Team!!!!! Jerry Marion, IA The Team at Dental Touch is one of the most friendly and knowledgeable staffs that I have ever worked with. From the moment I walked in the door I felt completely relaxed and at ease. Dr. McLaughlin is an extremely talented cosmetic dentist and I could not be happier with the results. My new smile has changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. I used to never smile and now I can’t stop…my confidence is through the roof! I would definitely recommend Dr. McLaughlin and the Dental Touch Team! Kristin Clearwater, FL

To Whom It May Concern: Throughout my childhood, my brothers did not have very many cavities but I had enough for all of us. My teeth looked good but they were soft so my parents spent a great deal of money at the dentist for me. During my adult years, more and more crowns would be added and more and more fillings. About 2 years ago, I had been having sensitivity issues with my bottom front teeth because I was unconsciously grinding my teeth during the day. A friend recommended his dentist for my problems so that’s how I got to know Dr. McLaughlin and the Dental Touch Team. I had seen the lumineer and veneer ads in the magazines and wished that my teeth could look like those! Even though my teeth didn’t have big spaces, weren’t jagged, or discolored, I was experiencing headaches and my teeth were shorter than normal. I remarked that I wanted my teeth to look like the picture on the wall and that’s when Dr. McLaughlin said he could help me. My new smile took about a year but it couldn’t have been done properly in a shorter amount of time due to the time it takes to re-align the bite. I had the opportunity and pleasure to be Dr. McLaughlin’s patient at one of the top schools in the country (The Las Vegas Institute for Advance Dental Studies). Dr. McLaughlin received his Advanced Training in Cosmetic Dentistry and I was the proud owner of a Beautiful Smile. Would I do it all over again? YES! I have people comment on how gorgeous and white they think my teeth are and I have no sensitivity issues anymore. I really enjoyed the time spent with Dr. McLaughlin and his team and feel they are genuinely concerned with my needs. I highly recommend them to anyone who is trying to decide whether or not to make changes to their teeth. Instead of dreading the process and the dentist office, I definitely had a very positive experience. Sincerely, Mary Cedar Rapids, IA

I have been unhappy with the way my teeth looked and felt for years. I had a bridge that was always a problem because it was difficult to clean thoroughly and I was so excited when Dr. McLaughlin told me about the dental implants to replace my missing tooth. That meant I could toss away my floss threaders! Dr. McLaughlin and his assistant further explained to me how I could enhance the looks of my other teeth, which I felt were misshapen and discolored, with veneers. Everyone at Dental Touch always made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I love my new smile and now all I can think about is “WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SMILE…..DENTAL TOUCH ASSOCIATES!” I am excited to tell my family and friends about Dental Touch and I will be looking forward to my next checkup. Sandy Cedar Rapids, IA Dear Dr. McLaughlin, I was in your office yesterday with my 3 year old daughter. I would like to first of all thank you for the excellent service in receiving the appointment, it was actually same day service! I needed an x-ray and the technician, Erica was truly wonderful with my daughter, of whom can be quite shy. Erica went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and paying extra attention to my daughter. That speaks volumes to me, and I cannot thank her enough. Also the short trip to the dentist having our first tornado warning/drill, I was thankful to be among folks who were so kind and caring. Upon checking out I was given the receptionist’s bouquet of flowers….Completely flabbergasted by this random act of kindness! I simply wish to express my sincere thanks for this entire visit and what a pleasure it was to actually visit the dentist! Thank you so very much for such a pleasant experience and for a wonderful doctor and staff members. So often we only hear the negative and not the positive. Thank you again! Sincerely, Cheryl Cedar Rapids, IA Dr. McLaughlin and Team, We were satisfied with the service we received before we brought our son in on Tuesday, but now you’ve raised yourselves to a whole new level. Thank you for the concern you showed, the compassion you gave, the hand delivered x-rays (my goodness!). We feel like family! We were already telling people about your office – you can bet we still will be. Enjoy this small token of gratitude for your caring service. Love, The Hansen’s Marion, IA Dr. McLaughlin, My new smile is so bright – I have to wear shades! Thank you so much for my smile, I do a lot more smiling now than ever before I also want to thank Jeff your assistant for always explaining the procedures to me and being so patient with me. Susie Hiawatha, IA Dr. McLaughlin & Dental Touch Team- Thank you for your great friendly atmosphere, knowledge and expertise! You are all great. Thanks again! Happy Dental Health Month!!
