I highly recommend them to others seeking dental care. I actually had a dental hygienist from another dental office comment on how white my teeth are and how nice my smile looks. Thank you LifeSMILES Dentistry!” |

"When you anesthetized the tooth, I felt absolutely nothing. This was very surprising to me because I had never experienced that before. Typically when I have received anesthesia in the past, I felt a pinch at the very least. I have received many injections over the years, having had a lot of work done, and I can honestly say that this is the only time that I did not feel a thing. Since this was the first time for me to see you as a patient, obviously this was a great first impression! Thanks for making my visit so comfortable."

"A trip to the dentist- an experience often associated with anxiety and discomfort-was recently quite the opposite. The office team member, who called the day earlier as a reminder, met me when I arrived. Dr. Brock Arms effectively explained the procedures and options and then performed them with a quiet competence. His approach to local anesthesia was simpler than I had previously experienced and very effective. And he called the evening after the visit to see how I was doing. My experience with Dr. Arms and his team was excellent and well worth the trip from Manistee. He is also a pretty good fly fisher. Thanks.”

"I just want to say what a great team you are! My crowns were truly painless and you resolved my apprehensions. I can't thank you enough for you and your team's caring considerations!" |
"After reading about Invisalign and discussing the procedure with Dr. Arms, we decided it could correct the large gap between my two front teeth. So, at age 65 (certainly not a teenager anymore!), I decided to go ahead with it. After this was done, I chose to have veneers put on my front teeth as well. I found the Invisalign process was remarkable. The expertise of Dr. Arms and his very capable team of Lori and Sue made this a very pleasant experience for me. Dr. Arms took special efforts to make sure the final results were pleasing to me as well as himself. Now I couldn't be happier with my straight teeth, no gaps and a beautiful smile. Thank you." |

"I just wanted to thank you one more time for giving me back my smile. If you compare the enclosed photo (Circa 1955) with the digital picture *which you took during my last visit, you'll see how you have succeeded in giving me back a portion of my youth. Your talent and expertise is nothing short of amazing and I am grateful every time I look in the mirror."

"I was so excited to learn Dr. Arms is now offering Botox at LifeSmiles Dentistry. The entire team at LifeSmiles Dentistry is very friendly and my treatment was quick, painless, and the results look fantastic. Plus, it is so convenient to be able to get this treatment right here in Cadillac. If you are considering Botox, visit LifeSmiles! "

"I have been a practicing endodontist for the past 20 years. As a specialist, I have seen the quality of work of dentists range from very poor to excellent. The success of root canal therapy depends on the quality of the restorative dental work performed, particularly with regards to the margins of new crowns. The quality of care is of utmost importance. I have known Dr. Arms for the last 10 years. I have referred many patients to Dr. Arms over the years because I felt confident that the tooth would be restored properly and that the patient would be under excellent care. I never received a complaint from patients regarding my recommendation, and all patients from his office are satisfied with his care. His work is meticulous, the quality is excellent, and his caring attitude is reflected throughout his dental care."

"I have enjoyed working with Dr. Arms over the past several years treating his patients’ orthodontic needs. I also have treated his team members and their children, and it is everyone's consensus the ‘Dr. Brock’ is a warm, friendly, compassionate dentist who you will feel comfortable treating your entire family. He has always demonstrated excellent clinical skills and will provide you with high quality dental care. I enthusiastically recommend ‘Dr. Brock.’

"Making the world a brighter place, one smile at a time,” could also be part of the mission statement at LifeSMILES Dentistry.
From my initial consultation with Dr. Brock Arms, a personal overview enhanced by state-of-the-art technology, his efficient yet personable attitude put any anticipatory anxiety I may have felt about visiting a new dentist quickly to rest.
"Painless Dentistry" is as much about the mental concept as it is the physical. Dr. Arms not only illuminates someone’s smile, but supported by an excellent staff who are not only professional but courteous and friendly, my entire experience at LifeSMILES Dentistry has been one that, like my brighter smile, I know will last a lifetime.
