If your teeth are gapped, chipped, crooked or just not what you want to see when you look in the mirror, you’re not alone. Our patients come to us with concerns just like yours. One look at these smiles and you’ll understand what Dr. Winans can do for you!
Discolored or Yellow Teeth
“When Dr. Winans first opened his practice in Lewisburg, we came to him right from the beginning. The whole family, my wife and I and our daughter are all patients. When I found out that he was planning to open his own practice here in Lewisburg, I scheduled an appointment immediately, before he even opened his doors.
We are regulars when it comes to scheduling our hygiene visits. The hygienist is exceptional and the entire team is committed to patient care and quality. They have never taken any shortcuts. I never sense that they are in it to sell me any services. It is always about the patient. I used to have significant periodontal disease and so I have had quite a lengthy treatment process.
I’m a Financial Advisor so I decided to do Zoom whitening because I have to make a great impression in the work I do. I have to be very careful about how I look and how I act – how I present myself – so appearances are part of it. I drink too much coffee and since I have had the whitening done I have tried to cut down a bit. I feel better knowing that my mouth is healthy.
The whitening procedure was great. It was very comfortable. I had some concerns about the time involved but it was fast and I had no discomfort. I give it an A. I am much more confident and smile more. I am actually going to encourage my daughter to have it done. She is a senior in college and I know this will give her additional self-confidence as she begins her career.”
Discolored or Yellow Teeth
“I used to cover up my teeth when I smiled. Well no wonder, one of my front teeth was black and I had white spots on the others. My teeth looked like Chicklets! Dr. Winans was very patient and caring. He took an entire afternoon just to go over my case because he wanted to be sure my mom and I would be happy. Then he corrected my six front teeth with bonding. He’s so artistic. My smile is so natural looking and beautiful now. People are always complimenting me. If you want to have a smile makeover, go to Dr. Winans!”
Discolored or Yellow Teeth
“My teeth were extremely discolored and I was so self-conscious about it that I tried to hide my smile whenever I could. I saw one of Dr. Winans’ newspaper ads and decided to make an appointment. I was so impressed with the level of professionalism at his practice. His team was friendly and accommodating and his work was so much more advanced than anything I’d ever experienced. My new veneers are beautiful and natural looking. What a difference! I’d encourage anyone who has issues with their smile to call Dr. Winans. It’s like I haven’t smiled in 49 years – I don’t even know how to smile. But I’m sure leaning quickly.”
Discolored or Yellow Teeth
“My teeth were dull and yellowish. I knew I wanted whitening but I also knew I wanted a more up-to-date dentist than my old dentist to do it. A friend told me about Dr. Winans. When I found out he had just upgraded his in-office whitening system to ZOOM!2, I knew I’d found my new doctor. My smile is so much brighter and younger looking now. I get positive comments about it all the time which makes me feel proud of myself. Dr. Winans really cares about his patients. He’s friendly and he’s fun. My kids actually enjoy dental appointments thanks to Dr. Winans. Now that’s really saying something!”
Discolored or Yellow Teeth
“I saw Dr. Winans’ ad for ZOOM® whitening in the paper and was interested. My teeth had yellowed a little and I was unhappy with that. I went in for a consultation and decided to have my old mercury fillings removed as well. Everyone comments now on how nice my smile is as well as how white it is. The whole experience was great, very positive.
“Dr. Winans and his staff are informative and thorough with the explanations. I knew exactly what to expect and the reasons for needing to have my old silver-mercury fillings replaced with healthier porcelain. The atmosphere is very professional and they had great follow up when the work was completed. They called to make sure I was happy with the results. The whole office is great!”
Porcelain Veneers
“I had braces when I was a child but my teeth had been shifting slowly over the years. They just weren’t attractive looking. I was reaching the point that the dental work I had done a long time ago was starting to fall apart and it was causing me discomfort. I consider myself an outgoing person and as a teacher I love to laugh and smile but I just hated the way my smile looked.
I knew the Winans personally because my daughter was their babysitter for many years. Knowing Larry and knowing how much my daughter respected him, I thought I would give him a call. I have had all my metal fillings removed and white ones put in. I also had veneers placed on 10 of my teeth to help align my bite. I feel better, I have less headaches and I think it is because my bite is properly aligned.
The staff was so kind; they were very attentive and fun. I had a lot of dental work done and through it all my comfort was of the utmost importance. First of all, the dentistry here is pain- free. The technology makes a big difference. Their digital x-rays make it easy to see and understand what is going on in your mouth. The hygienist always shows me everything and explains what she’s doing and I love that. They offer relaxation dentistry, headphones, and a massage pad. They do everything they can to make you comfortable!
Dr. Winans even gives you his cell phone number so that if you need him when he doesn’t have office hours, you can call him and he will see you! I have never experienced that before.
I think I have so much more confidence now. This just has given me a real boost. I love smiling all the time!
If you want a team that is concerned about giving you a healthy smile, a beautiful smile, and taking care of you as a patient, I would, and do, recommend Dr. Winans.”

“I had some problems with my teeth. I clenched and ground them down so they looked really worn. When I smiled, I didn’t open my mouth. I wanted to have my teeth fixed and a nicer smile, but had been told by another dentist that I’d never be able to get porcelain veneers. I’d gone to other dentists who told me they could put Lumineers on my teeth, but that’s not what I wanted.
So I decided to do some research to hopefully find a dentist nearby who could do veneers. I searched the Internet and with my medical background as a Nurse, I knew what to look for. I knew I could go to Philadelphia or another city to get really good dental work, but I wanted to find a dentist close to my home in Mt. Carmel.
I found Dr. Winans’ website. From the look of his office and how nice it appeared, I thought that he seemed like the real deal, so I called and made an appointment.
On my first visit, the staff was great. They took their time, got me situated and explained things to me. I was the only one there. I didn’t feel like I was at a doctor’s office; I felt like I was in someone’s home. The attention is so individualized. There weren’t 4 or 5 other people waiting for the doctor’s attention. Just me. Then Dr. Winans came in. I was really impressed. He didn’t come in and say, “OK we’ll put veneers on your teeth. Here you go.”
Dr. Winans has a Neuromuscular Dentistry background that I was really impressed with. He believes that the jaw has to be aligned appropriately before any dental restorations are placed on the teeth. Otherwise I would have continued to clench and grind my teeth and ruined the dental work, wasting my money. He hooked me up to advanced equipment to measure my bite and I knew he was going to help me. I trusted him and moved forward with treatment.
I wanted to get my teeth fixed cosmetically and correct the underlying problem with my jaw. It was more than getting veneers put on. Dr. Winans fixed the problems with my jaw because my bite was misaligned. Dr. Winans aligned my jaw and placed veneers on my top 10 teeth. It took a few visits. I had to travel almost an hour, but it was definitely worth it to see a dentist I trusted.
Now I have an open smile. I’m more comfortable when I’m having conversations at work. I let the smile out.
If someone asked me about choosing a dentist, I’d recommend Dr. Winans right off the bat. He’s the ONLY one I know that I’d recommend in this area of the state. I drive an hour to come here, and I’ll continue to do so for his expertise.”

“I had an accident when I was 10 years old and my front tooth came out. I was taken to the hospital where they took one of my molars and implanted it in the front. From then on, my smile never looked right. I had been to many dentists since then, but could not seem to get the result I wanted. My teeth were always uneven.
One day I was complaining to a co-worker about how I had gone to 4 other dentists and could not find anyone who could get my teeth to look right. He knew someone who worked for a dental marketing company and asked her if she knew of anyone in the area she could recommend. She referred me to Dr. Winans.
With one look at my molar in the front, Dr. Winans said that he had NEVER seen anything like this before. But he also told me, “We can make this look right.” He made it sound so easy. When I left, I cried. I had gone 18 years with a smile I wasn’t happy with.
I had always hated going to the dentist. I had been there constantly. So I was a bit apprehensive about the treatment I was about to undergo, but it was so easy! It was not painful. I felt so comfortable there. Everyone was so nice. They told me what they were going to do, what everything was going to look like, and what to expect.
Dr. Winans placed porcelain veneers on my teeth. At the final appointment, when the permanent veneers were placed, it was so exciting. I have gotten so many compliments!
I’ve had my veneers for 5 years now and come to Dr. Winans for my regular dental care as well. I remember going to the dentist years ago when it took 10 minutes to clean your teeth. The first time I came here, they scheduled me for an hour. I was like, “How is that possible?” But they do such in-depth work and educate you about preventive measures you can do at home. It’s not just about cleaning your teeth. They make sure you have these teeth for life. I really like that.
It makes me feel so good to have a nice smile, and not have to worry about trying to cover my teeth. I tell everybody to come here. A couple of my friends come here; in fact, my whole family comes here too! If I had to sum up Dr. Winans, his team and my experience here, I would say, Amazing.”

“As Dr. Winans’ dental assistant, I’m very familiar with his work and the exceptional level of training he, and everyone else who works here, has. We have a great atmosphere in this office and I know the work that’s done here is outstanding. When I was little, I’d had braces and I had professional whitening too, so my smile was actually pretty good. Still, getting my veneers made a huge difference. I became more self-confident and much more willing to smile. Having the work done was so worth it.”

“I used to work in a dental office, so I’m familiar with the different aesthetic options that are out there. I always loved Dr. Winans’ work. Also his staff is extremely caring and professional. They believe in what they do and it shows. The veneers Dr. Winans created for me are beautiful. They’ve increased my confidence. I smile all the time now! It’s such an easy procedure too. I’d tell anyone who’s considering this to go for it. And I would definitely recommend Dr. Winans!”
Smile Makeovers
“I’ve always been a very joyful person, and smiling comes naturally to me. I work as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. I was always self-conscious about my smile; as soon as I’d smile, my lips would close or I’d cover my smile with my hand. I always found my smile to be a weak spot on me; I could find beauty in other places, but never in my teeth.
Then my daughter nominated me for the 2009 Brighter Smile Clearer Vision makeover contest that Dr. Winans was sponsoring. I was selected to go for a consultation with him and through public votes, was voted the winner! I was so excited.
On my first visit, I surprisingly felt at ease. During my consultation, Dr. Winans and his team told me everything to expect. They told me what they were going to do, explained how long it was going to take, and clarified everything. I wasn’t worried or anxious at all. Dr. Winans is great. I told him I have a degree in art, and he told me that he also is an artist. And he certainly is. He put so much time into creating the right tones and color of the teeth, and making sure the smile looked like mine. I also couldn’t believe how pain-free everything was. So many people have asked me if the procedures were uncomfortable, but nothing hurt at all!
The whole thing took only three visits. First, my teeth were prepped and temporaries were placed on them. A few weeks later, I came back to have the permanent veneers positioned. The best part was that the veneers looked so natural. It looked like my smile, only better.
I’ve always felt that a smile is one of the most important ways we communicate with others. Now after my makeover, I feel like I can just smile from my heart without any worries. I don’t need to fret about covering my smile. It’s freeing. I was so comfortable here. I loved talking with everybody. I loved the interaction with the team. Everything was wonderful. Dr. Wi
nans is not only the skilled artist who created my smile makeover, but he is also my dentist, providing oral hygiene, cleanings and other treatments. I highly recommend him and his staff.”
Smile Makeovers
“I was told that in about 10 years I would need dentures if I didn’t have a full mouth rehabilitation. I decided FMR was for me – no way was I going to be wearing dentures in 10 years! I felt comfortable with Dr. Winans because he wasn’t pretentious, yet his training was impressive. He treated me like a real person and I felt he genuinely cared about what was best for me. In fact, the whole office is caring and fun with a great team dynamic – it’s just a great place!
“Now I smile all the time and get tons of compliments. It has helped me in business – I feel more professional and that people respect me more. And my husband loves the way I look: it has put the zing back in our relationship after being together for 30 years!”
Smile Makeovers
“I first became interested in having aesthetic work done when I watched Extreme Makeover and got some idea of what was possible. Then I did some research on-line. When I saw Dr. Winans’ credentials I was pretty sure he’d be the doctor for me. After meeting him and his staff, I was convinced. The atmosphere at his practice is friendly and comfortable and his work is outstanding. Dr. Winans put veneers in on top and whitened my lower teeth for me. My smile used to be crooked, now it’s white and even. I feel so much more confident about showing it. I just know now that when I smile, it looks much better.”
Smile Makeovers
“I used to have really noticeable fillings in my front teeth and lots of spaces on the bottom. I knew I wanted to get aesthetic work done and a friend referred me to Dr. Winans. I’m so glad she did – Dr. Winans and his team have been fantastic and I’m so happy with their work. My new veneers are beautiful, and they’ve completely changed my smile. The next thing we’re doing are implants to permanently replace some teeth I’m missing in the back. The whole experience has been really positive. If you’ve been thinking about enhancing your smile, go for it! It makes such a difference.”
Smile Makeovers
“I really decided to have aesthetic work done on a whim. I was influenced by Dr. Winans’ dental assistant. Her smile is so gorgeous. I wanted that too. While I was having some old work repaired – Dr. Winans replaced a bridge and removed my old mercury fillings – I decided it would be great to have veneers done. I really had no idea what was involved but it was very comfortable. I love Dr. Winans’ whole team. They keep you laughing through the whole appointment so, before you know it, you are finished. I smile a lot more now. Thank you for my beautiful new smile.”
Smile Makeovers
“I chose Dr. Winans because of his excellent reputation. I knew I wanted to have aesthetic work done because my teeth were discolored and showing the general effects of age. Plus, one was chipped slightly and my bite was out of balance. Dr. Winans gave me a complete Smile Makeover, upper and lower veneers. The entire process was painless and the difference is amazing. People are always commenting on my beautiful smile. It makes me feel empowered – self-assured instead of self-conscious. I tell anyone who’s interested in having this kind of work done to go ahead. Don’t hesitate! The sooner you have it done, the more time you have to enjoy it.”
Smile Makeovers
“I always made sure my kids had braces and good dental care. I never worried about myself; it was always about my kids. Finally, I decided that it was time for me. I work with the public and I was self-conscious about my smile. I even put off my wedding until Dr. Winans could finish my smile.
Now that I have my new smile, people comment about how great my smile is. I never realized how many people notice until I started getting constant compliments. I also have no fear of the dentist anymore. Thank you Dr. Winans – I couldn’t be happier with the results!”
Crooked Teeth
“Even though I’d had braces in the past my teeth needed straightening. I knew I didn’t want to go through that hassle again and was looking for other options. Dr. Winans showed me how my smile could be corrected in just a few visits with veneers. He is very good – my smile came out straight, even and completely natural looking. His team is excellent too – very professional. I’d recommend this practice to anyone.”
Crooked Teeth
“I wanted Dr. Winans to take care of a baby tooth that never came out. I’d always felt that my smile was asymmetrical too, but I tried not to let it bother me. When Dr. Winans explained my options, he showed me how veneers could completely transform my smile. I decided to get the work done and the difference is incredible. I definitely have more self-confidence now; I smile more and feel better about it. There was no pain at all during my treatment either. The level of professionalism in Dr. Winans’ office is outstanding.”
Gapped Teeth
“I had a gap and I never showed my teeth. I actually pulled my lip down when I spoke or covered my mouth to hide my teeth. I’m a teacher and not smiling makes you seem less warm and capable. I felt it was necessary to have my smile fixed to be more professional in front of the kids and their parents.
“Now that I have my veneers, I smile, laugh and feel so much better. We all know how healthy it is to be able to smile and laugh! Let me tell you – don’t put a price on confidence. You’ll have your smile for the rest of your life and it will always be one of the first thing people notice about you.”
Gapped Teeth
“A big gap in my smile made me feel self-conscious my entire life. My confidence was low and I always covered my mouth when I smiled.
“I saw an ad on TV and thought that maybe I could get some help. I called the 800 number and found Dr. Winans. I’m studying to be a teacher and I know self-assurance is very important. I never would have had that without fixing my smile. Dr. Winans and his amazing staff made me comfortable and relaxed. My confidence is much higher now; I don’t have to cover my mouth anymore.”
TMJ and Headache Treatment
I’m from the Harrisburg area and I travel about an hour and a half to see Dr. Winans. I think it is well worth it. I had some experience with professionals in the dental industry that left me wondering why I was going to them. I was having severe problems with my bite, it was shifting and they didn’t know what to do with me. Biting into food, chewing sandwiches, just didn’t work. I would bite into a hamburger and the lettuce and tomatoes would come right out the front. I got bounced around from dentist to dentist from orthodontist to oral surgeon, and no one knew what to do. This happened very suddenly over the span of a few months. I’m only 27 years old and did not want to live my life like this. I researched this on my own and that is how I found Dr. Winans.
I was very impressed with Dr. Winans and his staff. When I called and talked to Desiree, I was very surprised at how compassionate she was and it really made me feel like this was the right place to go. When I came in for my first visit, I was asked an array of health-related questions. That is when all my issues came out and were clarified. I didn’t believe I had any pain related to my bite. I had significant pain in my back that I thought was from a canoeing incident. I also had ringing in my ears that had been a persistent problem. When lying in bed trying to sleep my ears would ring and my back would hurt. I was never well rested but I thought it was all unrelated. I was having horrible cracking in my jaw, dozens of times a day. It was so loud you could hear it across the room.
Dr. Winans diagnosed me with TMJ which is a serious, progressive condition. Being a Neuromuscular Dentist, Dr. Winans was able to help me with Neuromuscular Reconstruction. Dr. Winans told me he could develop a stronger bite by using an orthotic that would be molded to my bite. It would help to realign my jaw and relax the temporomandibular joint back to its ideal place. The first day I put the orthotic in, my jaw stopped cracking instantly. I kept it in 24 hours, seven days a week. Two days later I slept through the night for the first time in several years. I felt like a different person. My back pain diminished and went away. Now I am completely pain free! It took only a few months. I took my first run in nine years the other week! And I smile more now too.
Neuromuscular Dentistry is on the cutting edge and is absolutely the way to go if you want to improve your condition.”
TMJ and Headache Treatment
“I was in a lot of pain for 3 years. I had a tooth that was broken. I had jaw pain, severe ear pain, ringing and constant noise in my ears, even facial swelling. I suffered with those symptoms for 3 years. I’d had a lot of tests done. I even had my adenoids removed, thinking that was impacting the ear pain. None of that did anything for the ear pain or any of the other symptoms. I was taking Advil constantly, at least several times a day. I was taking so much that I’d try not to take it in the evenings or on the weekends or holidays to give myself a break.
I heard Dr. Winans on the radio and also read some of his newspaper ads. A friend of my mother’s was one of Dr. Winans’ current patients, so I talked with her. She had seen Dr. Winans and had very successful treatment. She told me how satisfied she was with the work. So I called and I came in for a consultation. I described my symptoms, how long I had been suffering with them and some things that had been suggested or done, all to no avail. Dr. Winans said he knew what was wrong and that he could take care of it. And he certainly did.
Dr. Winans placed temporaries on my teeth, and I had them for several months while we made adjustments to perfect the alignment. As the weeks went along, I had less and less pain. When he placed the final veneers, I had very little pain. It took me some time to adjust to my new teeth – they’re a bit bigger than my natural teeth to help with alignment – but it was a happy time, because they’re so pretty! My new teeth are so much nicer than my natural teeth. Today, I’m absolutely pain free. There’s no ringing in my ears, no noise, no jaw pain. It’s been remarkable. It’s amazing how this treatment helped me back to things that I use to enjoy. I wasn’t swimming or doing many of the activities I enjoyed because I afraid it would make things worse. I was very inactive because I would have a lot of pain and not sleep well at night.
I’m even coming here for general dentistry because they are so terrific. They are so advanced here. I remember being afraid of the dentist and dental appointments being painful. But that’s the nice thing about coming here. It’s pain-free. I don’t feel anxious. I know they know what they are doing.
The team shows so much respect toward the patient and their needs. They take a lot of time to talk with you. I know if I have questions, I can call. When I was undergoing treatment, Dr. Winans even gave me his cell phone number so I could call if I had pain. I never did, but I was sure if I needed to, it would have been just fine.
I f I hear someone complaining of similar problems, I encourage them to call Dr. Winans for a consultation. They have to hear what Dr. Winans has to say. I would recommend him to anyone.”
TMJ and Headache Treatment
“I was having terrible popping and pain when I was chewing. I had headaches all the time, my teeth were not pretty. They were broken and worn down and I didn’t really like smiling. I decided to get it checked out because I was very uncomfortable. I did a little research and found Dr. Winans on-line. I am from Williamsport but I am happy to make the drive.
During my first visit they hooked me up to all kinds of machines so they could graph exactly what was happening with my jaw. It was very cool. They told me my jaw was moving in the wrong direction. Dr. Winans did some Neuromuscular Reconstruction to help relieve my symptoms. There were several steps to the process to get my bite right. Dr. Winans has all these diplomas from classes he has taken and classes he is teaching so I knew he could help me. The team was very, very thorough. I was never really apprehensive about the treatment because everyone knew what they were doing.
I am so much better! My TMJ is gone and I like my teeth now. I like to look in the mirror and I like to smile. I have told lots of people who have TMJ that they should go see Dr. Winans. He is really, really good. Going to the dentist isn’t usually something you think of as enjoyable but they make it enjoyable.”
TMJ and Headache Treatment
“For years, I suffered from neck and jaw pain. I wasn’t thrilled with my teeth, either. T hey were small, canted in and I had an overbite. A chiropractor treating my neck pai n told me that my TMJ symptoms were contributing to the problem. So I beg an to search for a dentist.
“I thought I’d need braces first, then have to move on to other treatments. Then I met Dr. Winans. When he recommended a full mouth restoration, I realized he could correct my overbite and cosmetically improve my smile at the same time! Naturally, I chose Dr. Winans.”
TMJ and Headache Treatment
“Before I came to see Dr. Winans, I was miserable. I had soreness in my neck and incredible sensitivity to hot and cold. My bite was not correct. I had old crowns and caps that needed to be replaced, and old bridgework. I found Dr. Winans through his website. I knew I needed help and started searching. It was just time to get the work done. I was so impressed by what I saw on the website – and I was only an hour away. My daughter’s wedding was coming up so I made an appointment to be sure I got the work done for that special day. It took maybe five visits and it was very easy. I’d say to do it if you want it. It was the best money I ever spent. Dr. Winans and his staff are all great and we have fun when I’m there. I had all 28 teeth done, a full mouth rehabilitation, and my symptoms are completely gone. My smile is gorgeous!”
TMJ and Headache Treatment
“I suffered for over a year with dizzy spells, vertigo problems, nausea, ringing in my ears, and I even lost hearing in my left ear. I saw three medical doctors and they all said that I had Maniere’s disease. It was so bad that when I had an attack I had to immediately stop whatever I was doing and lie flat on the ground. Sometimes the attacks lasted for hours! I started avoiding certain things that I enjoyed – going to church, social situations, even swinging on the swing in my yard. I wondered how I could live the rest of my life like this. Finally, my daughter, who works for Dr. Winans, convinced me to come in for an evaluation.
“I began the process of full mouth rehabilitation. It was incredible! Immediately after placing my temporaries, all symptoms vanished except my hearing. That will never come back. I have been symptom-free since October 2004. I never thought a dentist could help what three other doctors couldn’t. What can I say but thank you! I have my life back; I can swing on my swing again.”
