Using the Art of Cutting Edge Technology Using the Art of Cutting Edge Technology

from Good Life Magazine Cullman County Spring 2023

The Lightning Mule Brigade:

At Dental Arts we have invested in cutting edge dental technology including 3D cone beam x-rays for precise implant placement, scanning and milling our own crowns in house allowing for faster case completion, and 3D printers for night guards and clear aligners. This investment in the latest dental technology and digital workflow gives us the ability to provide quicker service to our patients, while not sacrificing the quality you are used to from our office.

At Dental Arts we are striving daily to help our patients SMILE MORE!

Good Life Magazine found its way into my life completely by chance. And I’m glad it did. After cruising thousands of miles across Cullman and Marshall Counties for the last several months I am sure my beaten down Altima would disagree, but I would, and will, do it all over again. Through this magazine, I have already seen so many beautiful things and heard stories I would never have imagined hearing before. I have met people from all walks of life, and have learned that the way one person defines ‘Good Life’ can be completely different from the way another does.

When the former publisher of the magazine, David Moore, was showing me the ropes and formally introducing me to many of our advertisers, he mentioned that most everybody that I will meet is ‘Good People.’ So far, I have found that to be unequivocally true. Although it may be old school, I have accumulated a stack of business cards from advertisers and story contacts alike that I keep on top of my desk. Each card represents a hard-working, local business owner or a fascinating story to tell that adds to the beauty of this county. I hope to double and then triple the size of this stack in the months to come.

My hope is to bring you all along as I continue to meet and learn about the people, businesses, history and traditions that make this county so unique. As I get up and running, I am always open to story suggestions and nudges in the right direction to find what readers are most interested in.

If you have a dish at a restaurant that you just cannot get off your mind, or know of a hidden gem of a home off the beaten path, lets share it! You will notice some familiar faces below, and some new ones too, that will continue on the GLM journey, and for them I am grateful.

If you see a guy walking around town with a cowlick and a camera hanging off his neck, odds are it’s me. If you feel so inclined, say hello and lets chat for a bit! I am beyond excited to start this new adventure and share the good eating, living, people, and stories of Cullman County. Here’s to the ‘Good Life!’

Liz Smith

Liz has had an eventful start to 2023. She is a new grandmother of twins, Cody and Elsie, who are home after a stay in the hospital and looking forward to warmer weather! This is Alabama after all, right?

Steve

Steve is looking forward to coming out of hibernation over the next couple of weeks. He usually hunkers down until “the air warms up, the grass greens up, and the vegetable gardens bloom up.” He goes back in time and reminisces on high school graduation and the life lessons to be learned.

Rishon Hanners

After recently moving from Birmingham to the Guntersville area, Rishon is ready for spring on the lake! She is a connoisseur of good cuisine and is quite handy with a camera as well. Check out what she covered for her first GLM feature inside.

David

David stuck around to continue doing restaurant features. Bring on the sun glasses and short sleeve weather because he prefers to do his work outside!

Deb Laslie

Deb is a bookworm in every sense of the imagination. Over a recent cup of coffee, she told me she reads 2-3 books per week! The only thing she might go through more than books are cups of coffee…

Hudson

All of this winter rain has been a good thing. That is unless you have a dent in the side of your car and it’s raining cats and dogs. I guess that’s how I ended up with a cat from Guntersville, Gunter…
