Smile With Confidence

Welcome To Dentistry with a Smile

I started on Ruby St Joliet Illinois in a 450 square foot office with a depression era dentist just fresh out of the University of Illinois Dental school.We had 2 dental chairs,one that had to be from the 1940’s and one that I bought 2nd hand in very good shape.His xray machine was broken and he use to refer out to the oral surgeon for xrays.Some of the new equipment I had bought was that new xray unit and new sterilizer.At that time he only charged nine dollars to pull a tooth.

I would come in beforegetting my license to clean up the office since he was 80 years old starting in 1928.I remember being in that office scrubbing old asphalt tile on a cold autumn night at 12;00a.m. Friday just to get things ready.After all I was 26 and scarred of my own shadow after 8 hard years of college.My father had died 7 years previously and His brothers Dick and Syl who knew Dr Pokorny understood what was happening told me in in machine shop words not to get my bowels in an uproar.

I would learn.But keep my eyes open and my mouth shut and observe life.Those two and another friend retiled my office for me.On top of that the neighborhood came to find out all about me especially the old 70ish ladies who said I was like their son but also scolded me once in a while.I did get some food brought to me though when they thought I was not taking care of myself.
