Speaker 1 (00:58):
Forty eighthfy five KRCD Talk Station, A very happy Tuesday
to you. Tune in tomorrow for Joe Jenna Paulatano every Wednesday
at a thirty and you'd be glad you tune in
right now because everyone needs a great dentist, and there
are dentists, and there are a great dentists, and I
am pleased to have in studio. It's good to be
Brian Thomas some days. Doctor Meghan Frew from the practice
of Peck and Freu. I's been speaking for doctor Fred

(01:19):
Peck Wow for about a decade or so, and he
has been my general, my entire family's general dentist for
that long and with the last couple of years. Two
years ago roughly, doctor Meghan Freu joined the practice and
doctor Frew, it's really wonderful having you in studio. It's
great to see you too. And let me start by
just thanking you because I know I've got a lot

(01:40):
of listeners that have consulted with doctor Fred Peck because
he's a renowned cosmetic dentist. Yeah, every time someone gets
in touch with they just say, oh my god, I
love doctor Frus. She is the most wonderful dentist. She's
got this I call it chair side manner. Yeah, you
make people feel really comfortable especially folks who really aren't
keen on going to the dentist. I love one of

(02:00):
the dentists.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, we love hearing that.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, you know, thank you for taking great care of
my listeners. I know you're in wonderful hands because, of
course you met the high bar. Doctor Fredpeck would not
have just invited anyone to join in his practice if
they weren't outstanding. He has the highest bar around.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, and he actually him and I connected maybe four
or five years before I ever even joined the practice,
and he said, I was really young, early in dentistry
and kind of trying to figure out my path and
what courses I should be taking, and you know, figure
out how to get to the level of dentistry I
wanted to get to. And he said, you know, I
don't think you're ready quite yet, but you know, here's

(02:40):
some things we should do, some courses you should take.
And we kind of kept in touch, and then two
years ago he reached out to me and said, are
you ready.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
So he was mentoring you ahead of time for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, there was I had some really great mentors along
the way that kind of set me on the right path,
and yeah, just allowed me to figure out how to
be able to do the dentistry that I like doing.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
And you have a passion for cosmetic dentistry, this is
what you wanted to pursue, because that's what Fred Peck
what one of three fellows in the entire state of
Ohio that it makes the status of fellowship with the
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. That's a tough thing to accomplish.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, the ACD accreditation process is very intense. I'm going
through it right now or starting to go through it anyways,
but yeah, his accomplishments through the ACD is the goal,
and it really kind of puts the stamp behind your
name saying like, Hey, I really mean it when I
say I'm a cosmetic dentist. I know what I'm doing.

(03:37):
I know how to manage these complex cases. And you
know you can trust me with your smile, because that's
a that's a big thing to entrust somebody with. I mean,
it's a huge, a huge deal for people.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, and you know it's your practice. And I've talked
to Fred Peck so many times over the years, and
you know, I've experienced talking with people who are not
comfortable with their smile they are right away, they'll put
their hand up in front of their mouth when they're talking.
They won't smile, obviously reflecting a lack of are there

(04:09):
self conscious about it and a lot of confidence that's
brought about because of that concern about their smile, and
that can be radically transformed the work that that man
has done over the years, and he's got that hard
bound book every time I've seen that so many things
like this can't be the same person.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, my favorite sort of transformation is, you know, we
start every initial new patient exam with a ton of
photos to kind of know where we're starting, where we're headed,
so that we have all the information we need to
do a comprehensive treatment plan. My favorite transformation is we see,
you know, I struggle to get those pictures at the
beginning because people won't smile, and then by the end
it's like you can't get them stop smiling. And it's awesome.

(04:49):
I've seen that happen with you know, patients in their fifties, seventies,
patients that are in their teens. I mean, you see
it all across the board. It does make a huge difference.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, confidence boosting people have greater confidence themselves or happy
to talk or happy to smile. Being able to smile
I think changes your personality for the better. Because you
are happy to be able to smile makes you happier
being with with with the confidence you bring in the
cosmetic dentistry, that's got to certainly be a rewarding element

(05:19):
about your job too.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
It is. I've worked in a few different offices where
dentistry has not been something people have been excited about,
and that's always hard, just you know, as a provider.
But when you can provide something that people get excited about,
even if the process to get through it is hard, yeah,
it's super rewarding. It's I love what I do and

(05:43):
when it pays off for a patient, you can kind
of see that. It's it's it's really rewarding.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No can when patients are looking to get some cosmetic dentistry.
I think, if there's bonding procedures out there, does this
have to be an all both feet jumping at the
same time or can you have this becoming gradual over
time process.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
It totally depends on the patient in the case. I
think when people think about like a smile redesign, people
limit themselves because they think it has to be this ginormous,
Hollywood huge case and it doesn't always have to be that.
Sometimes it's as simple as fixing one or two teeth.
It it can make a huge difference. Sometimes it is

(06:22):
more involved, but it really depends on the person, and
we do try to kind of cater each treatment plan
custom to what fits with that person, with what their
smile goals are, with what their financial goals are. You know,
we try to fit it to be something that is
attainable for every person in whatever phase of life they're in.

(06:42):
So it doesn't need to be, you know, a full
set of veneers for every single person, because it's not
a one size it shouldn't be a one size fits
all procedure.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Ever.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
It should be what's the best treatment plan for you
and in your life to match your goals, and how
are we going to get there together?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, so great. So you manage expectations, you give them
their options, You talk about, you know, we can try
this and do that and maybe get rid of the
biggest problem there, that one kind of tooth and then
if you want to move forward with something else, then
we can do that.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
So yeah, and I think the biggest thing too, with
dentistry is starting with function first, because the cosmetic stuff
is great and fun, but if it's not work that lasts,
what's the point why are we going through all of this? So,
you know, we really take an approach of let's start
with the foundation. Get everything healthy, get your bite stabilized,

(07:34):
get everything where we need it to be so that
it lasts you for a long long time, so that
when we do these cosmetic things. Sometimes that's just the
cherry on top. Sometimes patients don't care about the cosmetic stuff.
They're like, I just want my teeth to not break,
and that's all we're going for. And then surprise, your
smile looks way better.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
There you go and you can do that. Yeah, exactly,
the tef from breaking. That's a great thing to know.
So and people can find out about this. You offer
a no obligation complementary consultation, don't you.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I do. I'm going through that ACD accreditation process and
going through that process, you have to submit five very
specific smile case types and there's very specific criteria that
it has to meet free for it to be even
a case that's worth worth submitting. So in conjunction with

(08:25):
that we are doing complimentary smile consultations where you can
come in, we'll take a few photos, we'll just talk
about your goals, what we think we can do for you,
and then if you happen to be an accreditation case,
we may be able to offer some complimentary things.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh well, that sounds.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
To me like it's worth taking advantage of the free
no obligation. I love that word, free, no obligation, complimentary
smile consultation. To do that, just give the clinic a call.
It's five one three six seventy six sixty six. Tell
me you'd like to take advantage of the doctor Fruz's

look forward to going to the dentist like I do.
