Dave, great story and execution of your dream. One of the most creative, fun and colorful offices I've seen, in a field where sameness, stale, and "sterile" seem to rule. Very well done and thanks for sharing it with us. I showed it to two of my daughters who work in dental offices and they both said "how cool it would be to work in that office". Keith

Awesome. Simply awesome.

I'm an endodontist in S. California and I've got to say id rather spend an hour in your office getting worked on than an hour in mine working any day. Amazing! Submit this to Dentistry Today, it would make the magazine for sure. You deserve the credit and the business that should follow. Maybe we should have a dental hot rod club of some kind? Cheers. Well done! Way to bring your passions together.

**Mr48chev** · 04-04-2011, 11:49 PM

Very cool, and it will be the only orthodontist's office in the county that becomes a H.A.M.B. Must stop at when in the area attraction. I expect it won't be long before we see a road trip photo of a Hamber's car posed out front.

The kids have to love it too.

stude_trucks · 04-04-2011, 11:56 PM

Man, incredibly good job on the building, space and the couches too. I'm an architect, so I know what it takes to be able to pull something like that off. Looks like the contractor did a pretty good job as well. Must have been a good team all around. Nice work!

FKNPOZER · 04-05-2011, 12:14 AM

WOW-WOW-WOW!!! I'm traveling your way soon to get braces and all I have is like three teeth left.
What a great and true labor of love.If this is an extesion of how you treat your patients they are blessed to have you.this is so incredible,I showed my fiance and we both gawked at the detail and read the blurbs.good luck and god bless.

to all that helped and especially your dad.....just WOW!

Hot Rods Ta Hell · 04-05-2011, 12:39 AM

Simply incredible! Great ideas and execution!
My 12 year old will soon start with braces. I'd give you my business if you were in Socal! I'll show him this thread as he also loves old cars.

57ford/60thunderbird · 04-05-2011, 01:25 AM

VERY VERY COOL i cant say anything that hasnt allready been said but if my dentist was half as cool as you i wouldnt have stopped going to see him...and maybe my teeth wouldnt be rotting outta my head now

Impressive and VERY VERY cool! What a fun place for something most people dread!!! *applaudes loudly*

100% Matt · 04-05-2011, 07:56 AM

That is absolutely killer!

Bigdaddykaddy · 04-05-2011, 08:11 AM

ChuckleHead_Al · 04-05-2011, 08:32 AM

Amazing simply amazing.

4ever18 · 04-05-2011, 08:34 AM

You know that you're going to see an increase in the number of "gray beards" wanting braces! Excellent, sir.

**TomT** · 04-05-2011, 08:43 AM

I had braces as a kid for more years than I care to remember and hated them - I only wish I could have gone to your place instead of where I went! This is just spectacular - what a fantastic way of involving your hobby with your totally unrelated/different business in such a fun way! It is just unreal, imaginative, creative - very, very well done!

WildWilly68 · 04-05-2011, 08:47 AM

Incredible vision. Hopefully the environment will be more inviting so those with axiety towards going to the dentist will have a more enjoyable experience. It would be interesting to see how your patients feel with the change and see if it makes any difference with them. Great work.

19Fordy · 04-05-2011, 08:59 AM

Beautiful. I think you "nailed it." Opps, I meant, "drilled it."
