Doctor Profile

August 9, 2009 To Whom it may Concern, I embarked upon an orthodontic plan with Kelowna Dentistry by Design 2 1/2 years ago. The magnitude of the work that was necessary was somewhat intimidating at the onset. Throughout my treatment I was consistently received in a respectful, one on one basis which effectively put me at ease. I was clearly kept informed of my progress in a concise manner and always knew what to next expect. My many calls to the office with concerns or questions were treated in a respectful manner and attended to quickly. The result thus far, is stunning. I enjoy a full new alignment of my jaw that allows my teeth a balanced alignment as well, thus reducing the significant wear and tear that was previously evident. I look forward to completing my treatment plan with restorative work to repair the damage that was done by the misalignment that I was born with. I have no reservation in recommending Kelowna Dentistry by Design to anyone that is looking to maintain their dental health or restore existing deficits. Sharnell Muir and her team will most certainly care for you in a manner that will achieve the highest standard of results. Thank you, Sincerely, Bernie Koftinoff

Hello Dr. Muir and "Team"! This is quite lengthy, however, I am so happy with my smile that I was unable to express my gratitude briefly! You may use any of this testimony as you see fit. For over 10 years, I agonized over the condition of my teeth. Aesthetically, the teeth appeared fine from the "smile" side, however the enamel was significantly eroded on the inside due to a bulimic past. I had visited a Dentist in the Lower Mainland who actually stated "I don't know how we're going to handle this substantial erosion. . . " I was mortified. I felt that Mr. North Delta Dentist was going to suggest extraction of the eroded teeth and replace them with some false ones. 2 years after having moved from North Delta to the Okanagan, I finally found the courage to see a Dentist. My search commenced with the Yellow Pages shaking in my hands. I perused a litany of advertisements for Dentistry until Kelowna Dental Centre's advertisement held my attention. They provide a comprehensive list of services; the key word was "restoration". Intuitively, I had a good feeling. Even when I called for the first time, I received a friendly and professional greeting and was made to feel that everything was going to be great. My first visit to Kelowna Dental Centre alleviated all of my past 10+ years of apprehension and anxiety over locating an excellent Dentist. Whereas my previous Dentist "didn't know how to handle it . . . " Dr. Muir exclaimed "Piece of cake! I do this all the time!" Dr. Muir and every person working with her are amazing. All of the "Team" make you feel as though you are visiting a "restorative spa" as opposed to the "dreaded dentist appointment". Now for the most important segment: My smile has been restored to perfection! For over 2 years, I have been unable to chew on the right hand side of my mouth; that condition is just a bad memory now! All of my teeth (crowns and onlays included) line up perfectly; my teeth have been restored beyond the natural beauty they had when they were 20 years old! Thank you Dr. Muir and Associates!!

My dentists name is Sharnell I wonder if she'll ever tell If the crowns she made for my teeth That fit like a sleek little sheath Are due to her latest toy Her absolute pride and her joy Or was it her skill, With the drill? The price of a crown Sure brought in a frown But at least I'm not plated And for that I'm elated Well, well, well Dr. Sharnell Tho my bank account went straight to hell You did the job needing done So in the long run, guess we both won Respectfully Submitted Betty Graham
