Greg L. Gist, ddS
[COSMETIC / RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY]
Specialty | Comprehensive Restorative
and Crown and Bridge dentistry with an emphasis in Cosmetic Rehabilitations. All cases
are accomplished with comfortable oral sedation, so we can be efficient with our patient’s
busy schedules, as well as putting the most
anxious patients at ease.
What Separates You from Others in
Your Field | We don’t offer patchwork
dentistry. We offer a level of care that is infection free to support overall health. For 27
years, our practice has seen patients from all
over the continental USA, as well as many
foreign countries. dr. Gist’s experience and
approach to overall systemic health, as it relates to restorative dentistry, is the difference
that sets this practice apart.
Important Qualities of Doctor-Patient
Relationship | A patient should have
the final say as to the level of care that they
want to pursue. decisions made by insurance
companies tend to best serve insurance companies. Our practice has no managed care
philosophies in place. We are relationship
driven. We know our patients by their name,
not their insurance coverage.
Best Advice to Patients | It’s important
to understand that dental biofilm (the recurring
bacteria that forms daily in your mouth and under
failing dentistry) is affecting your systemic
health. This bacterial growth we refer to as
‘sepsis’ and it leaks into your blood system
through the periodontal ligaments and pulp
chambers of all teeth. This bacterial invasion
initially effects the gums, making them bleed,
which opens up more of these ‘entry portals’
for further bacteria infiltration. It’s important
to understand that if these bacteria infect your
blood, they are instantly in every organ of your
body. This is why more studies emerge each
year connecting dental/periodontal infections
with a vast array of systemic disease such as
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pathology, lung infections, and new research shows
a link to certain cancers. We feel you should
seek out a dental professional that has a firm
handle on this concept of dental sepsis as it
relates to restorative procedures. Sound and
aggressive restorative procedures that address
this continuous bacterial growth is the ‘new
frontier’ in restorative/cosmetic dentistry.
Infection free materials and aggressive control of dental sepsis is a radically different
approach than many patients have been
exposed to in the past and one that is making
our patients healthier today.
Charitable Work, Honors or Awards
Started in 1984, dr. Gist has his own charity
program, Give a Smile for Life. His practice has
restored hundreds of smiles at no charge to
those in need. dr. Gist has been named both a
Top Doc by Fort Worth, Texas magazine and a Best
Dentist in America by Consumer Research Council. dr.
Gist also received the Quintessence Publishing
Award at Baylor College of dentistry for outstanding clinical work in the field of Periodontics and Crown and Bridge dentistry.
Professional Memberships / Licenses

dental Association, the Fort Worth district

Rebecca Lauck, ddS, FAGd, dABCP
[BLUE STONE DENTAL]
Specialty | General dentistry with a focus on the entire family.
Blue Stone dental performs all phases of dentistry for young to older
patients with a special focus in Cosmetic dentistry, Orthodontics,
TMJ pain and Sleep Apnea alternatives.
What Sets You Apart | Our advanced training in many areas of
dentistry allows us to perform all treatments in one office without the
need to refer to specialists for implants, sleep apnea, braces, TMJ, oral
surgery, cosmetic dentistry, dentures or root canals. I also practice
Mercury-free and Mercury-safe dental health, and take all the necessary precautions in the removal of old mercury fillings. And, we are
now offering Six Month Smiles® Adult Orthodontics that are addressing adult concerns such as the time and appearance of wearing
braces. It’s a revolutionary combination of proven orthodontic techniques, modern materials and innovative thought. Six Month Smiles®
utilizes specialized clear braces to gently straighten and align teeth in
an average time of just six months (learn more at www.6monthsmiles.com).
Best Advice Received | There is more to dental health than just
teeth. Oral health care influences and provides signs to the entire
body’s health. As a dental physician, I always look beyond the problem
by asking “why is there disease?” By answering this question, I can
treat the causes such as poor diet, large tonsils, snoring or sleep apnea,
small airways or poor jaw alignment.
Philosophy | Your smile is only the beginning of the treatment you
will receive in our office.
Mission | Our patients appreciate the convenience of having the
whole family treated at one location and the relationships they form
with our entire health team. We want to help you obtain and maintain
the best possible oral health while making you look great, too.
Setting the Standard | We take time to sit and listen to our patients’ goals for their oral health, any fears they may have and how to
help them. As a health care team, we pride ourselves in extensive continuing education in order to make our patients feel comfortable and at
home.
You Should Know | I love what I do! I have wanted to be a dentist
since I was only 5-years-old. You could say that being a dentist is a
dream come true for me. I feel very privileged to be able to provide
orthodontics to my own kids (15-year-old twin boys) and to yours. I get
great pleasure every time I see my kids smile. I enjoy providing that
to other parents as well.

There are a host of other critical qualities—consistency, compassion,
respect, understanding, empathy, patience and being genuine. You’ll

Things rarely get better with time and commonly become more costly

it as enjoyable for you, too.
Greatest Professional Accomplishment | We have been awarded
Best in Keller four years in a row—2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Also,
I was recently awarded my diplomat Status in the American dental
Implant Association. Less than 2% of members attain this status. But
above all, having the opportunity to do what I love to do. dentistry. And
to be able to perform at a high degree of excellence.
Charitable Work | Missionary works include a trip to dominican
Republic where I was a part of a 20 doctor team. We placed over 450
dental implants and performed 80 sinus grafts, as well as an untold number of smaller procedures—all over a three day period. The donated
time, materials and equipment totaled over one million dollars. Christian
Mission works also include Brazil deep along the Amazon River to also
provide health care and dentistry in remote villages. Christ Haven, Community Storehouse and Captain Hope’s Kids are all dear to our hearts.
Mission | To provide our patients the convenience of having the whole
family treated in this one location without a need for multiple referrals.
To enjoy our time together while providing excellence. To make our
patients experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Cameron Jolley, dMd, MSd
[JOLLEY ORTHODONTICS]
Specialty | Orthodontics and dentofacial
Orthopedics. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to create a good bite and beautiful
smile—this makes it easier for you to bite,
chew, brush your teeth and speak. It enhances
your dental health, your overall health and
may improve self-esteem. We offer various
types of orthodontic treatment including
Metal Braces, Clear Braces, Invisalign™ and
Invisalign Teen™.
Most Important Qualities of the DoctorPatient Relationship | A relationship built
on understanding is very important. I listen to
my patient’s concerns and expectations. Then
I help to educate each patient on how and why
treatment is to be delivered. This clear understanding that we are working as a team helps
us to achieve the best outcome possible.
Best Advice to Patients | A beautiful
smile is not expensive, it’s priceless. Choosing
orthodontic treatment is making an investment in your future. The sooner you contact
our team for your complimentary exam, the
sooner you can begin to live your life smiling.
Why Choose You | You trust your heart to
a cardiologist, your skin to a dermatologist
and your knees to an orthopedist. Like these
specialists who study their specialty areas after
their general medical education, orthodontists
devote additional years of study to orthodontics after they graduate from dental school.
And like their medical counterparts, orthodontists limit their practices to their specialty area.
Orthodontists have in-depth experience in
tooth movement and bite correction.
What Separates You | My patient’s needs
come first. My treatment plans are based on
what is needed for a healthy beautiful smile
and a functional bite. We offer the latest technology to provide faster more comfortable
treatment. digital x-rays provide less radiation to patients. Patient education software is
available to help patients visualize tooth
movement and why a procedure is needed.
Professional Memberships / Licenses

American board of Orthodontics, member of
American dental Association, Texas dental
Association, American Association of Ortho-
dontics and College of diplomats of the
American Board of Orthodontics.
Greatest Professional Accomplishment
My greatest professional accomplishments
are the friendships that I form with my patients and every smile that is a result of our
practice. The reward of seeing a patient smile
when the braces are removed and knowing
that you have made a change in their life.
Charitable Work, Honors or Awards
Outside of the office, I enjoy volunteering in
my church through teaching Sunday school
or leading Boy Scouts. Supporting local
sports teams and educational opportunities is
a great way to give back to the community. I
was also recently honored by the American
Association of Orthodontist and received the
Thomas M. Graber Award for Research in
Orthodontics and the Craniofacial Biology
Group Award from International Association
of dental Research.
Medical Philosophy | To provide the highest level of orthodontic care in a fun, friendly
environment that creates beautiful healthy
smiles and relationships that last a lifetime.

partnership between herself and her patients to
achieve successful, healthy and maintainable goals. In
her words, “The fight against obesity is a lifelong battle
that doesn’t stop at any time in our lives. It is a
complex disorder that is affected by our lifestyles,
medications, hormonal imbalances and nutritional
deficiencies. My patients are my asset and their goals
are my priority. They choose their goals and I use my
Family Medicine knowledge as the ground, my passion
as the driving force and my skills as my weapon to help
my patients win this fight every step of their way.”
Why Choose Me | I believe that treating is very
different from healing. driven by an innermost desire
to eliminate suffering from as many people as I can,
I want to be a healer.
Professional Memberships, Licenses and Honors
dr. Shabnam is an active member of the American
Society of Bariatric Physicians, the American Academy
of Anti-Aging Medicine, the American Academy of

My Philosophy | To me, treating one adult family
member to achieve a healthy lifestyle and be a productive member of our society is like serving the whole
family. My patient will be like a Cypress tree in the sun
implementing those healthy habits for the entire family
and taking this message to the next level of awareness.

Sunstone Yoga
Specialty | We are a hot yoga studio offering
five separate series classes, all of which are
designed to reduce stress, increase strength,
improve flexibility and balance the weight of
your body. Our classes are beginner-friendly
and we have students of all ages, sizes and
backgrounds.
Perfect Candidate | Everyone can benefit
from yoga. We welcome anyone wanting to
practice yoga, wether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner. We encourage students
to be patient with the process. Take it one class
at a time and enjoy the benefits as they come.
What Sets You Apart | We are set apart
from other yoga studios with the number of
classes we offer a week, level of teacher training and a consistent product offering. We
offer 99 classes a week with 30, 60 and 90
minute classes giving students the flexibility to
take a quick 30 minute class or a combination
of classes. All of our teachers have 500 hours
of training with several veteran teachers
who’ve been teaching since the studio opened
in 2008.
Improving Lives Through Wellness
The fitness oriented series yoga that we practice at Sunstone Yoga is a great workout and
effective stress reliever. The poses in the class
require strength and balance which means, as
you attempt them, you will be working virtually every major muscle group in the body.
Although there are periods of rest, the poses
are done one after another, which makes them
an excellent aerobic workout as well. This
process results in increased physical fitness
in addition to decreased stress and improved
emotional well-being.
Advice for Healthy Living | Make time
for yourself, for your practice. Schedule it into
your day and give it the same importance you
would give any other appointment on your
calendar. It only takes one hour of yoga a day,
two to five times a week to make a substantial
impact on your physical and mental health.
The benefits of a consistent yoga practice can
be life-changing. Ask yourself, “If not now,
then when?”
Success Stories | One of the best parts of
my job is hearing students’ success stories and
seeing how yoga changes lives. If you’d like to
read some of these success stories, visit our
website: www.sunstoneyoga.com/about/testimonials.
