Savanah Hamby
In 2009, Life Style Dentistry, participated along with NWAMotherlode.com in the 'Divine in '09' smile makeover give away. We had the pleasure to meet Savanah. Below is the article from the Benton County Sunday paper.
This mom deserved to smile her biggest smile and be confident with it. Dr. Hubbs and her team worked over a few months span to make this happen for her. In the end, the results were worth her time in our office! We got to know a great women and help her be the best mom she could be!
Local mom granted 'Divine' smile makeover
NWAMotherlode.com, a destination Web site for local mothers, is known around town for its cool giveaways. From spa days to the top-of-the-line washer/dryer combo that kept moms buzzing for a week, Motherlode is in the business of making moms smile.
One of the site's most recent giveaways took that goal a step further. It was a life-changing smile makeover, courtesy of Life Style Dentistry in Rogers.
Local mom Savanah Hamby, the mother to Sawyer, recently completed the months-long smile makeover.
The price tag on Hamby's dental bill would have totaled more than $10,000, but Dr. Ann Hubbs provided the work for free. This gift was one of the several in NWAMotherlode.com's "Divine in '09" series of giveaways.
Now that Dr. Hubbs has transformed Hamby's smile, she's ready for the final phase of the giveaway -- a hair/make-up makeover and professional photographs. About You Salon & Spa is providing a complimentary hair/make-up makeover session and NWAMotherlode.com sponsor Melinda Worthington of MJW Photoraphy is providing the free "after" photographs.
Hamby, 25, has a new job as an educator at Pages of Parenting in Fayetteville. She's been self-conscious about her smile since her tooth was chipped by a rock at age 13. Although the chip was repaired, she always dreamed of straight, white teeth with no gaps.
Hamby joked at the beginning of her makeover that, ironically, she never wears make-up, cuts her own hair and had always hated her smile.
"The new smile is FABULOUS," Hamby said. "I feel so much more confident now, and I've been flashing a huge smile to everyone I see. It's amazing how one little thing can make such an impact on your self-confidence. Honestly, I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt."
"Savanah was an absolute pleasure to take care of, and I wish her all the best," Hubbs said. "She truly has a gorgeous smile now, but the 'makeover' process really went beyond cosmetic touches. We wanted her smile to not only look great, but to be as healthy as it could be. To me, a great smile is a healthy smile."
Hamby was chosen from among a group of Northwest Arkansas women vying for the popular giveaway. Not only did the mom receive six veneers on her front teeth, Hubbs also made sure that any underlying dental issues were handled first. Hamby received root canals, new fillings and overall whitening.
Hamby said her takeaway experience at Life Style Dentistry was that Dr. Hubbs and her staff are professional but also highly personable. "The staff is incredibly friendly, and they really take an interest in their patients. And it's not just because it's me. I hear them speaking to other patients the same way."
Giveaways from local businesses help drive traffic to NWAMotherlode.com and generate online word-of-mouth referrals for retailers. These giveaways have included jewelry from Underwood's, spa days, a mantle-size family portrait and parties at Bath Junkie and Fast Lane Entertainment, as well as Walton Arts Center tickets.
Co-creators Shannon Magsam and Gwen Rockwood are encouraged by the site's growth and its ability to offer women relevant content for their busy lives, as well as valuable giveaways like the smile makeover.
"In an economy where may mothers are cutting their budgets, NWAMotherlode.com not only offers them entertaining information, but also fives moms chances to win some fabulous giveaways that they might not have splurged on for themselves," Magsam said.
