Your Smile Matters Podcast
23 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago -Discover A New Smile Transformation Experience…There Have Been Quantum Leaps In The Smile Transformation Process That Now Allow You To Get Your Dream Smile In As Little As 1 Day…No Matter Where You Live!
Hello friends, my name is Dr. Jesse Ritter and I'm a Transformational Cosmetic Dentist. Over the duration of my career I have experienced wins and losses in my pursuit to help patients realize their full potential through smile transformation.
I've learned through helping clients of mine transform their smile as well as discussions and consultations with patients who couldn't make the decision to move forward, that there is a TON of misperceptions and myths when it comes to smile transformations.
This can lead to inaccurate and fear-based decision making which is a bad way to go about any decision.
It's my mission to bring you the TRUTH. I'm going to help you:
- Dismantle limiting beliefs
- Uncover lies your dental insurance has made you believe
- Debunk myths propagated in pop culture about cosmetic dentistry
- Discuss what's possible with modern dentistry
- Alleviate your fear of dentistry
- Provide pros and cons of smile transformation
- Navigate the waters of quantum leaps and big change in your life
- Deal with external influences in your decision making (i.e. other people's opinions)
I am going to interview people who have gotten smile transformations, are considering getting smile transformations, experts in mindset and personal development, experts in personal appearance and style, matchmakers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and more.
My purpose is to open you up to possibility for yourself and give you accurate information to make your own personal decision regarding your potential smile transformation.
Enjoy the show!

August 05, 2020 10:00 - 9 minutes - 8.67 MBYou’re probably thinking “Having a new smile in one day sounds unrealistic and out-of-reach.” You’ve probably imagined or heard the following: You have to wear temporary or “plastic” teeth for weeks at a time.

15: Smile Makeover Decision Making - Take Back Your Power
July 29, 2020 15:59 - 11 minutes - 16 MBIsn’t it strange that out of all of the species created on the planet, we are the only ones that sabotage ourselves on the daily? Let me give you a few examples: “I dont deserve this.” “I’m not worthy” or “I’m worthless.” “I can’t do this.” “I’m not meant for greatness.” Do you think there is a cheetah out there that talks himself out of getting the best out of his life?

July 15, 2020 10:00 - 4 minutes - 8.94 MBAhhh...the coveted coffee bar. Hot beverages and treats galore all waiting for you as you sit in that cushy chair at your dental office. As you leave you will depart with a warm farewell, a scheduled appointment and goody bag in hand (toothbrushes and floss? YAY!) These days, an experience like this is quite common and frankly, should be expected. But, being the dreamer that I am, up-leveling our experience is a non-negotiable.

6: What About A Smile Transformation Is Easier Now Than A Year Ago?
July 10, 2020 10:00 - 2 minutes - 7.76 MBGod I miss pagers. They were comforting yet intensely badass. Maybe it was the stylish look on waistbands or the exhilarating *ping* you would hear when someone was trying to contact you.

Hence the invention of the “horseless carriage”, microwaves, dishwashers, amazon, and yes...the cell phone. T...

Now that I’ve gotten that off of my chest I feel much better. When patients come in to see me for regular or maintenance care, I make it a priority to spend quality time with them by doing a thorough exam and asking questions about overall health. This is where jaw pain comes in. I have dedicated a lot of time learning about the jaw joint and how it affects the health of...

July 03, 2020 12:00 - 10 minutes - 14.8 MBFrom cigarettes, alcohol, the absence of gloves and zero novocaine to bland, boring and sterile…the dental experience has certainly evolved over the past century.
