What others are saying

For the first time in my life I have a bright smile, straight teeth, and I can eat all foods. This is something I have not been able to do in sometime! During the dental process it seemed to be a long procedure, but it has been worth every moment I have invested in this treatment. I would do it all over again!

The satisfaction of finally having 'My own teeth' goes beyond words. The staff was absolutely wonderful during this whole process and as for Dr. Kupeyan, he is a wonderful doctor - caring, kind and always took whatever time was needed. A truly wonderful team!

Dr. Kupeyan and the staff at Smile and Body have changed my life! When my treatment started just over two and a half years ago, I had already had braces twice (with terrible results) and was suffering from daily headaches and migraines. Not to mention that I rarely smiled, and my self confidence was low when I did smile. When I found out that the best option for treatment was "reverse" braces (creating two 7 mm gaps on either side of my front teeth) and implants, I wasn't exactly thrilled. Dr. Kupeyan explained that this treatment would not only fix my teeth but it would help with headaches and migraines. I don't think I have the words to thank Dr. K and Mara. Mara took care of the orthodontic portion of the treatment; she was kind, patient, and always answered my 'stupid' questions with words that I could understand.

No pain, no gain was our motto, and she definitely made the process a lot easier and I'll even admit now a little bit fun. She truly cared about the outcome of my procedure and explained everything she was doing and why. The fact that she was willing to come in on a Saturday for an appointment speaks volumes about the care and dedication that the staff at the office have for their patients. Three years ago you wouldn't have caught a big toothy smile on my face, now I can't stop smiling, my teeth are constantly on display. Mirrors are my new best friend and on top of that my headaches are gone! I never expected that the results would not only change my teeth but would also change the shape of my face in ways that I never would have imagined. Not only is Dr. K outstanding in what he does, his office staff go above and beyond too. Sue and Dana would juggle appointments for me, changing them to work with my schedule.

Jana was always there for a few moral boosting words when I needed them the most. Cheryl and Lisa held my hands through all the hard parts (including multiple impressions!) Now I have people stop me on the street and tell me how beautiful my teeth are, I never dreamed I would be that girl. I would recommend Dr. K to anyone in need of reconstructive dentistry. I wasn't a fan of the dentist three years ago, now I miss my every two weeks appointment. I will continue to go to Dr. K for any dentistry I will ever need in the future, not that I will need much more than a cleaning because they've done such a wonderful job! I can't thank you enough for making my dream a reality and giving me my smile back.

I look and feel better than I have in years!

Having completed my treatment with Dr. Kupeyan and his competent, caring team, I'm now able to enjoy eating everything again and I have no more dental pain. Friends and family notice I smile more frequently, which I do, because I'm no longer embarrassed by uneven, discoloured teeth. Beautiful, natural looking teeth have given me back my self-confidence to smile. I look and feel better than I have in years.

One young lady on seeing me in a photo with her husband recently commented, 'He sure has perfect looking teeth for an old dude!' What more could you ask for from Dr. Kupeyan and his team!

My new smile says it all. I honestly thought it would only be me that noticed my new teeth, but everyone tells me how much better I look. In addition to that I can eat comfortably and am willing to try anything.

I ate a lot of steak last summer, which is something I never thought I'd be able to enjoy. Eating and feeling great

Sincerely,

Let me say that my dental treatment at Dr. Kupeyan's gave me my life back in every way. The staff and Dr. K are amazing people.

Every problem that came up they seemed to overcome and we continued with my treatment.

Sincerely,

Carol C.

 

I'm a brand new person. I can't thank everyone enough! Not even 25 years old yet, I struggled with pain nearly everyday. I felt sick to look at my own smile. My confidence was at an all time low.

Since my experience with Smile & Body I feel as if I've been given a second chance at life. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to Dr. K and his team.

I am truly forever in your debt.

This is the best gift I have ever given myself - It has truly made a difference in my confidence.

I now laugh a lot and am not trying to hide my smile. I feel I am more out-going.

This dental treatment was the best gift I have ever given myself. I guess it is never too late to be good to yourself.

Eileen M.

 

I can speak and smile with confidence I can't tell you how thankful I am to laugh without my teeth falling out. The bones in my jaws were badly deteriorating. No amount of adhesive would allow me to eat without it oozing into my mouth.

The decision to get implants was not difficult when I knew it was my survival solution. I had a hard time because I had to have bone transplanted from my hip to my face. After the healing and the transplants were secure, the team work of Dr. Kupeyan made being able to eat again and having a wonderful smile a very pleasant and remarkable experience. Since completing my dental treatment I have written a book and now have started lecture tours.

Today I am pain free! I can eat everything I so desire. I love to smile and friends and co-workers compliment me on looking 10 years younger.

Thanks to Dr. Kupeyan and his team of professionals. I am thoroughly satisfied with the end results.

silviaA good smile is one's calling card and speaks before words do, so it seemed natural to have Dr. Kupeyan rework my smile to reflect how I felt inside. Wow, am I smiling now. I have the greatest laminates and beautiful smile, that reflect my dazzling personality. Along with that winning smile comes regular dental care, and Dr. Kupeyan's staff is the best. For me Cheryl maintains my teeth with excellent care and keeps my smile on track. It is just as important to care for the teeth routinely, as it was to have cosmetic dentistry. -in fact it may be more important to have regular after care. I love that clean, fresh feeling after Cheryl cleans my teeth! She is attentive and remembers our last conversation. WOW!

Each time I cross the border into Canada for a dental visit, the border control asks the nature of my visit, and when I tell them that I am having a dental check-up they look puzzled. They ask if there aren't dentists in the city where I live. I respond by telling them that there are plenty of dentists, but Dr. Kupeyan does business in Windsor, and I wouldn't go anywhere else - it's worth the drive - then I flash a smile at them. So far it gets me across the border!

Silvia M.

I feel more confident when eating and smiling since I have had this dental treatment. I am a lot more comfortable than when I was wearing dentures. My advice to others would be to not be afraid to have treatment done as the dental team makes you feel very welcome. They will show you around the office on your first visit. I thought Dr. Kupeyan and his team were very professional, friendly and easy to talk to. I enjoyed the experience of having the treatment although it seemed long, it is worth it in the end. I felt I was in good hands and they explained each stage what they were doing.

The staff on reception was lovely and put you at ease, as nobody likes going to the dentist. They are a good team and work together well. I would like to add that you are never told by ordinary dentists about bone loss. I went to three different dentists with problems and they never said that I had bone loss and they just kept on making me new dentures with different linings. You would think they would know about this being dentists. I was never referred to anybody else until I came to Canada. It is a pity to go down this road and never be told especially when you are in pain.

Valerie S.

The one big change is that it does not bother me to have my picture taken. People who have not seen me for a while ask me, in a positive way, what is different about me.

Before, my teeth never showed when I smiled, now they do! Extemely happy!

Tom S.

 

My biggest testimony is that very few people knew that I was having it done and they all say it looks natural. I meet a multitude of people every week - they haven’t noticed, again because there was no big obvious change. Natural. . . I like that!!
Thank you and God bless you and your wonderful staff.

Connie G.

I must say I was a bit apprehensive when starting this implant procedure but you and your friendly staff made the experience as pleasant as can be expected under the circumstances. I always felt that I was in the hands of eminent experts in this field and I am most happy with the results.

John H.

I have had my implants for 20 years and couldn’t be happier with them. I’ve never had any problems with them whatsoever. I’ve had no regrets and would definitely do it over again. Dr. Kupeyan and his team are excellent: always professional and striving to satisfy to 110%.

Imagine having a denture that rivals George Washington’s for size. Imagine that it drops every time you laugh or sneeze. Imagine that it cracks own the middle (even though it has been fortified with a metal palate), if you bite into a carrot stick. For me, it did not require imagination: it was reality. That is when I was sent to Dr. Kupeyan, the dentist of last resort. Several years, and many dollars later, I can laugh with confidence, and eat without trepidation. I put my life savings into my mouth, but have no regrets. Now I have quality of life, and a healthy smile!

Lucille D.

I would like to extend to your association a letter of admiration from me regarding your member, Herman Kupeyan. He was referred to me when I lost a front tooth almost 20 years ago. This tooth was one of my many that had fallen victim to my childhood diet and poor preventative care. In those days, if the tooth did not hurt or break off, it was OK. My family dentist told me that I would be lucky to have any teeth left when I graduated from High School.

Well, I had lots of teeth left but they were in very sorry shape when I got to Dr. Kupeyan. He wanted to get them all back in shape, but I simply could not afford it at the time-raising my three children and getting back into the profession of teaching. We worked at each section of my mouth over the next 12 years and now I have pain free chewing and a good smile.

I would be willing to swear that my smile has allowed me to fully pursue my career in education and be a more confident individual.

I just retired as an elementary school principal and had a portrait put up in the Principal’s Hall of
Fame at my school. It was a full 11X17 and did I ever show off those teeth. I have attached a copy so that you can appreciate one of your member’s skills.

Just last week, during an appointment with Dr. K , I realized that I was a valued individual in this office and that Dr. K’s whole team worked positively for everyone who trusts their dental health to them.

Let me say, my dental treatment at Dr. Kupeyan’s gave me my life back in every way. The staff and Dr. K are amazing people, with every problem that came up they seemed to overcome and we continued with my treatment.

The fear of dentistry that I have felt for many years is gone. Each one of the Smile and Body Team helped to put me at ease and answer my questions. I thank you all so much!!!!!!

Virginia M.

For a long time I have had a darkened tooth due to a childhood injury and a root canal. Over the years the tooth and bone underneath has weakened to the point where I was very careful not t bite down hard on anything. In pictures it was evident that my front tooth stood out. On the advice of my dentist he suggested I look at removing the tooth and replacing it. He recommended Dr. Kupeyan.


At first I was hesitant, but soon felt that I had the best team assessing my situation. Dr. Kupeyan and his dental team listened to me and delivered the right solution. I had orthodontics done to slowly remove my tooth to build bone mass for and implant and at the same time align my teeth for better overall bite. It took some time getting use to the braces. I had much encouragement from Mara, and I must say that she demonstrated a passion for what she does and her attention to detail was really appreciated. A trait I found in many of Dr. Kupeyan’s staff. Furthermore, the other procedures including the implant went very smoothly and progressed to a steady timeline.


I would say that having all the right expertise, equipment and people in the same office made this procedure much easier. This is what in our industry we would call a “full service supplier. ”
On a personal note, I am now more aware of my overall bite and teeth health. I feel I have a stronger tooth for better functionality and of course I am more confident in taking pictures these days.


Thank you Dr. Kupeyan and Smile and Body Team!!!!!

After many denture replacements, my wife started telling me that my teeth clattered like dishes in the cupboard during an earthquake. It was a very long process because of my bone loss but now I can laugh, eat without problem and most of all, my wife enjoys the quiet!!!!

To my amazing denitist, Dr. Kupeyan and his first rate staff. My sincere thank - you for constructing my new mouth! You are all so patient and professional. The joy of eating foods I could not eat for years is unbelievable, and of course the smile. I will forever be grateful to all of you very special people.

Kathleen A.

My life has been changed dramatically. Not only do I have a wonderful smile now, but I do not suffer from TMJ pain any longer. I have suffered with headaches and pain for the past 25 years. I was very apprehensive starting this journey. Dr. Kupeyan and the staff assured me that the end product would be worth every moment I spent in the chair. I started with orthodontics on top and bottom and Mara was amazing. She was very patient and caring while I went through this process. While my teeth were being aligned I went to Dr. Armstrong in London and had jaw surgery. I looked at this as an opportunity to loose a few pounds.

The surgery went well and I have never looked back. Dr. Kupeyan then performed his magic and I received new crowns (I had crown lengthening surgery also). My smile is now a thing of beauty and more importantly I do not have any pain. Dr. Kupeyan and his staff have made this huge experience better than I thought possible. I wish that I would have done this many years ago.

My new smile has given me confidence and self assurance. Thank you Dr. Kupeyan and everyone at Smile and Body for giving me a smile that everyone smiles back at!!!

I had lost all my natural teeth by my mid twenties,
and as a result endured the instability of dentures, then implants and various procedures which heart breaking for me would fizzle and fail. I was told that, “It was as good as it gets. ”

Desperate and perhaps chasing a fantasy, I sought out a prosthodontist. There was none in my city.

Nov. 2006 was my initial consultation with Dr. Kupeyan. I was afraid to be hopeful. Dr. Kupeyan had given me hope. He said he could help me and that I would be pleased.

Today I have teeth that remain in my mouth, so close to natural it’s quite amazing. I can bite into any food and chew with gusto! My self confidence and dignity is restored. Dr. Kupeyan, I am pleased and indebted to you for helping me. I cannot put a measure to how much this has meant to me.

Jackie O.

 

I was extremely pleased with the care I received from the entire team at Dr. Kupeyan’s clinic. Without exception everyone was pleasant, supportive and professional. I had implants, braces and porcelain caps top and bottom - the whole process took about 2 years. I am thrilled with the result. I am no longer self-conscious when I smile. A great investment, it was worth every penny!!
Sandra P.

Dr. Kupeyan and his staff made me feel safe and secure in the knowledge that I was getting the best treatment. It's always a little frightening to have major dental work done especially something as permanent as dental implants. Dr. Kupeyan took his time in helping me understand the choices available and the long term benefits. His expertise and that of his staff is evident in the final results. I never knew how great a smile could be until I saw a dazzling difference. I am confident in how great I look and the change to my appearance. "Smile and Body" has given me the confidence to live, laugh, love!!!!!

France P.

I want to start out saying that I have lived my whole life in pain. I never wanted to smile or show my teeth. During this process there was some pain but it was worth it and if it wasn't for Dr. Kupeyan and his wonderful team I would have never made it through. They are an amazing group of people. I am so glad I was sent to him for all this work that had to be done for me. Now all I want to do is smile! I love the way I look now and would love to once again thank Dr. Kupeyan and his wonderful team for all they have done for me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Rose A.

 

The dental treatment I had completed at Dr. Kupeyan's office greatly impacted my life. My teeth look complete now!!!! The staff and Dr. Kupeyan treated me with nothing but the best of care. I was worried about how it would be getting implants but Dr. Kupeyan did an amazing job and I wouldn't have gone elsewhere. I would recommend you guys 100%!!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me teeth!!!!

Stacy S.

 

The dental treatment that I have received over the many years that I have been a patient of Dr. Kupeyans, has been one that has greatly impacted my life. Without him and his fantastic staff I would not have the ability to enjoy even the simplest of food. It has been a long process to bring me to this point as my health and healing problems have interfered with treatment several times. But, with Dr. Kupeyans knowledge, skill and perseverance I now can enjoy the art of eating and feel that the look he has created for me is one that I thank him for daily. I also thank the entire staff, upfront and behind the scenes, as they all work together to make this dental office the friendly, comfortable place that it is. I would not hesitate to recommend "Team Kupeyan" to anyone as I truly know that they are the "Best" in the dental field. THANK YOU!!!!!

Shirley O.

 

After a pretty ambitious program of straightening, repairing, and replacing, I can look forward with confidence to enjoying all the food groups: steak, peanuts, apples, and chocolate. And I can say to my friends, "Look out! I bite!"

Now I'm nearly perfect.

Seriously, I have to thank your whole staff for your expertise, your courtesy, and your kindness. I look forward to getting your Christmas card!

Sue B.

 

Do you know how it feels to smile finally after so many years of hiding my teeth? It feels so amazing, wonderful, uplifting and fantastic!!

I could not go through such a life changing event without expressing my gratitude to you all. You are a wonderful prosthodontist with a really professional and kind staff. Thank you all for your excellent care and giving my smile back.
