The staff at Simply Smile Dentistry knows that impending dental work tends to trigger anxiety in patients. Take, for example, a client named Brandon, who faced both a troublesome tooth and insurance edging closer to expiration. To help ease Brandon's dilemma, the staff prioritized his appointment, getting him in quickly enough so he'd still be covered by his insurance. The team is also apt to relax nervous patients with sedation dentistry. This consideration for each patient pervades Simply Smile's services. Led by dentist Dr. Samuel J. Bacon, the staff utilizes technology such as intra-oral imaging, digital x-rays, and ViziLite oral-cancer screenings to catch mouth maladies early. The results guide each cleaning as well as any recommendations for dental repairs. Dr. Bacon and his team also enhance smiles with cosmetic treatments, including Invisalign, same-day crowns, and Zoom! whitening, which brightens teeth discolored from sucking the juices out of carrots.

The name, KnowSweat, is more than a hollow boast. The instructors have amassed years of martial-arts and personal-training experience, they and hold an accreditation from the American Council on Exercise Faculty. In that capacity, instructors train other fitness professionals in pursuit of continuing-education credits, and they bring that same level of expertise to every class they teach.

The teachers anchor many of the gym's workouts in martial-arts maneuvers, incorporating fast-paced punches and kicks into cardio routines like a ninja with a short attention span on a treadmill. Students jump rope, shadow box, and fling high-flying roundhouses at one another. All the while, heavy pads strapped to hands and forearms absorb the impact.

Drs. Harold A. Smith and Ted K. Brauer protect families' teeth with preventive, restorative, and cosmetic services. They nurture smiles with cleanings and whitening treatments while protecting mouths by studying all-seeing x-rays and teaching the tongue kung fu.
