Barbara King, a Truly Deserving Diva

Barbara King, how do you start writing about such an incredible woman? She is the type of lady that you meet and she makes a lasting impression on your heart. We were touched by this woman from her first nomination and as they kept pouring in, we were more and more convinced that she was just the person to be one of our Deserving Diva’s in 2011.

She is a business owner, teacher, care giver, volunteer and Mother to a daughter of 14 who has been battling Cystic Fibroses her whole life. Barbara is also on the board of advisors at Egleston where her daughter Olivia has been spent more days last year then at home.

Barbara is a caring, giving person who is very involved in her church. The people that know her the best say that she is a light in their lives and you would never know that she has been under such stress. We agree that Barbara is a bright and joyful person who understand the meaning of giving back in it’s truest sense.

Congratulations Barbara! You are truly Deserving! Watch for more updates from Barbara and our other 2 Deserving Diva’s in 2011.

Meet your 2011 Deserving Divas!

Meet Nancy Reaves! She is one of our 3 Deserving Divas! Yes, that's right, we are going to have 3 ladies this year! We got to tell Nancy yesterday that she will be the recipient of a smile makeover this year! Nancy won the caregiver of the year award as she is the full time caregiver for her mother who is in the 4th stage of alzeimers. Nancy, like Dr. Williams and his wife, takes regular mission trips overseas to give back internationally. She is the wife of a minister and they currently pastor a church in Cumming. What a wonderful lady!

Our 2nd Deserving Diva this year is Barbara King! Barbara has an incredible story and we are honored to have the opportunity to give her the smile she has always wanted. She has been an incredible pillar in the community and has been a great source of strength for her family. With a wonderful daughter who is cystic fibrosis, they spend more days in the hospital then at home. You would never know it when you meet Barbara, she is a bright star.

Last but certainly not least we have Shefije Lika.. a single mother of five incredible kids. Shefije had so many people nominate her, they told us she is so deserving of this and after meeting her, we think so too. She has given back to her community whether it's by working with Autistic kids, tutoring the underprivileged she is committed to teaching kids life skills.

We are proud to announce to you the three ladies we will be giving a smile makeover this year. We can't wait to share their stories, bios, videos, blogs and more! Stay tuned for updates on your Deserving Diva's of 2011! Check our "Deserving Diva" facebook page!

Where it all began..

The Deserving Diva Makeover Contest was founded in 2009 by Dr. Bill Williams of Suwanee Dental Care. He was looking for a way to give back by rewarding the women in our community who are exemplary but also have a great need for dental care. The first year, after several small announcements, hundreds of nominations poured in. With such an overwhelming response, in 2010, Dr. Williams granted 4 women the chance to have the smile they always dreamed of. With dramatic makeover results that changed the lives of Debra Montgomery, Patti Shiver, Gwendolyn Richardson and Heather Trompke, Dr. Williams whole heartedly made the decision to yet again accept nominations for a Deserving Diva. With yet again, hundreds of nominations pouring in, Dr. Williams has narrowed down his search for the Deserving Diva of 2011 by these criteria:

1. A pillar in the local community
2. Ability to have the work performed
3. A severe dental need

“This is one of the most difficult yet rewarding in my career as a dentist” said Dr. Williams. After reading through hundreds of nominations and narrowing it down to ten, Dr. Williams, Dr. Smith and Dr. Golik are ready to announce the Suwanee Dental Care 2011 Deserving Diva...

Stay Tuned!

Cauble Center update on Heather and Patti

We are weeks away from the unveiling and all is going according to plan. Patti is healing from some of her procedures and Patti I need to see you soon for pictures and whatever.

Heather is perking along. She begins Zerona on Wednesday ( it was to be today but was longer in Dr. Bill’s chair than we anticipated. I did forewarn Dr. Bill she had juvederm in her lips and to go easy today. I hope he was gentle, Heather! So the Zerona is a laser body slimming to allow the fat to come out of the cells and move through the lymphatic’s to be eliminated from the body. Heather is looking great. She got the WOW factor from her husband when she put on a bathing suit she had not been in since last summer. Anyone who sees her or talks to her please encourage her to walk 20-30 minutes a day. This is sooo important with this procedure.

Everyone have a great week and see you soon.

New Smile!!

The kids are now back in school, and I celebrated by spending the day at Suwanee Dental!! Things have been BEYOND hectic. But I had to share---The four + hours in Dr Bill's chair yesterday were SO WORTH IT!!! Even though these are only the temporary crowns, I can now see my new smile.
THANK YOU!!!!

Deserving Diva Update

I had the privilege of spending some time with two of our Suwanee Dental Care Deserving Diva's last week, Patti and Debra. We shot an update video with Innova One Productions to be featured on Atlanta Home and Style TV. It was amazing to hear the life change that has been birthed out of this smile makeover contest. We know that a new smile can make a huge impact on someone's life and we see that every day in the eyes of our patients. To hear the stories of these ladies from the begging and each step of the way on a more in depth level is incredible. Patti had her sedation visit several weeks ago. She was prepped for veneers and crowns and had temporary crowns placed on her teeth for the healing process. As Dr. Smith creates the smile Patti has always wanted, her temporaries are still pretty incredible. She was so impressed she joked with us and said "please don't take the these teeth off!". Debra is going to end up with implant supported dentures. Her story is incredible! As a survivor of domestic violence she had to have what teeth she had left extracted. She already has her implants placed and dentures that she is wearing. Right now, during the healing process of her implants, the dentures are not yet attached. It's looking like both of these ladies will be finishing up in August along with Gwendolyn and Heather. Just in time for our Diva Party with Gwinnett Magazine August 28th!

Dear Everyone,
This was from the first day I walked out of the office with my braces. I was so very blessed and happy. “ Oh how God has blessed me with a new page in my life. Thank you Dr. Williams and thank and everyone at Suwanee Dental-H e a v e n l y Care,” home of the best dentist in the world!
Have a great day!
