| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “Growing up in San Clemente, I was raised by a family who loves this community and taught me from an early age the importance of caring for others.” | The video fades in from black to golden-hour coastal scenes. Dr. Ritzau walks beside her young daughter near the ocean; close-ups show the child running on the shoreline and the two of them beneath a pier. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “As a young Marine family, my grandparents moved here in the 1950s, and that’s when they started their legacy of service to this community. My grandma’s the perfect example of this.” | Dr Ritzau’s family stands smiling on the beach. A Marine memorial and a service-member statue appear, followed by historic family photographs. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “She is the one that if a neighbor was sick, she’d bring them a meal. If someone had a baby, she’d be the first to offer to help. And if local Marines didn’t have a place to go for Thanksgiving, she’d invite them to our house for dinner.” | Dr Ritzau and her grandmother look at a memorial wall. The video cuts to an old portrait, then to Dr Ritzau’s grandmother smiling and walking. Three generations of the family members stand together near the pier. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “It’s examples of this type of genuine care and hospitality that the core values of Shoreline Dental Studio is built on.” | The woman looks across San Clemente. The video transitions from community imagery toward the dental practice where a patient waits reading a magazine. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “We know that coming to the dentist is not everyone’s favorite thing to do. We want to change that. So when I opened this office, I wanted to create a place where you could feel truly comfortable and can trust that when you’re here, you’d be treated like family. | Inside a bright reception and consultation space, Dr Ritzau warmly greets a seated woman (Bernie, a patient) and sits down to speak with her at close range. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “At Shoreline Dental, this means welcoming you into our home, going out of our way to make sure you are comfortable, and getting to know you beyond your smile. This is my hometown. This is my community. This is where I’ve decided I want to raise my family. Our core values of respect, generosity, trust and over-delivering to our patients are all at the heart of all we do.” | Exterior signage reads “Shoreline Dental Studio” and “122.” An aerial view shows San Clemente near the coast. Dr. Kristen Ritzau appears in a seated interview; lower-third text reads “DR. KRISTEN RITZAU” and “FOUNDER / CEO.” A “COMMUNITY SUPPORT” board appears with the legible text: “Since 2012, we have contributed $49,191.20 to our community.” Cuts to Dr. Ritzau walking along a palm-lined street in San Clemente. | |
| [Instrumental music.] | Dr Ritzau continues to walk down the street of San Clemente, smiling. | |
| Bernie: “It’s been unbelievable. And what’s interesting to me, not really knowing a lot about dental practices, but walking in and just the way everything’s handled, super state-of-the-art, super professional and just super kind in here. The whole package.” | Bernie appears in a seated testimonial. Lower-third text reads “BERNIE” and “PATIENT FOR 4 YEARS.” A clinician shows dental images and records, then speaks with a patient in a treatment room. | |
| Brittany (voiceover): “The one thing that stands out to me is how friendly everyone is. I just feel so comfortable. Everybody says hi, they greet you, they know you. I never wait. I think the longest I’ve waited is five minutes. You know, I’ve been to other dental practices where you do feel like a patient. You just go in, they clean your teeth, you leave, you don’t really think about it after you leave. But here I don’t feel like it’s just a one-time appointment. It’s just like a family. You see them and it’s an experience, not just a visit.” | A male patient is welcomed at reception. Dr Ritzau talks with him, points to dental images on a monitor, and examines him in a treatment chair. He then receives a package at the reception. Blonde patient, Brittany, then appears in a seated testimonial; lower-third text reads “BRITTANY” and “PATIENT FOR 7 YEARS.” Dr Ritzau is shown talking to Brittany outside the practice under the Shoreline Dental Studio sign. | |
| Brittany: “You know, the way they treat me, obviously, but even more so after bringing my kids here. As a mom, seeing someone care about your children is just, that’s pretty much all you need in life. They get down to their level and, you know, they talk to them and they ask them questions. It honestly seems like they’re sincere and they care, and, you know, they go out of their way to make the kids smile and happy.” | Brittany speaks with Dr Ritzau just outside the practice. Dr Ritzau hugs Brittany’s son. Brittany is shown with her two young boys; one child high-fives Dr Ritzau. The seated interview with Brittany continues as she explains the level of care at the practice. | |
| Male patient (voiceover): “Well, I would recommend Shoreline because the nice team of staff is very, very friendly. Not only that, but the most important is I feel like I come in as a client, I don’t feel that you’re being pushed. They want to do this because they care about your health and your teeth. | The office exterior appears, followed by a staff member welcoming an older couple. | |
| Mariah: “If you want to alleviate anxiety about the dentist, if you want to not go down the road where you’re in a world of hurt because you’ve waited so long, and you are part of a practice that is looking to treat to the best that they can if you’re in that situation, but at the same time prevent you getting to that situation, you’ve got to come here.” | Mariah appears in a seated testimonial; lower-third text reads “MARIAH” and “PATIENT FOR 2 YEARS.” A staff member gives Mariah a blue gift bag in a treatment room. A monitor displays dental images while a clinician talks with a patient. The video cuts to a smiling dark-haired receptionist and some of the other dental staff at Shoreline. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “One of the important things here at the office is having a team that is all on board with the same core values of respect, trust and really going above and beyond to over-deliver to our patients, so that no matter who’s in the chair, they feel like they are VIP when they’re here.” | Several members of the Shoreline Dental team smile in close-up. The camera returns to the practice exterior and Dr Ritzau’s multi-generational family together outside the building. | |
| Dr. Kristen Ritzau (voiceover): “The Shoreline Dental Story comes out of a legacy of hospitality that I hope to carry forward in all that we do, so that one day we can leave behind our own legacy of generosity, caring and ultimately a legacy of smiles.” | Dr. Ritzau walks through shallow water beneath a pier at sunset. The video cuts to an aerial view of the coastline as the Shoreline Dental Studio logo begins to appear. | |
| [Instrumental music.] | The Shoreline Dental Studio logo remains centred on a pale background until the video ends. |

I mean, I’ve gotten root canals and crowns, and you know, that’s heavy-duty work. This office really caters to the patients.” | The question card fades into a testimonial shot of a dark-haired female patient in a striped top, seated in the dental reception. The image cuts to the same patient smiling as the voiceover continues. | |
| Male patient: “It’s a nice place to go to. This nice team staff is very, very, very friendly. Not only that, but the most important is while I feel like I come in as a client, I don’t feel that you’re being pushed. It’s yourself to take the decision, and not like being pushed, like they want to make money off of you. They want to do this because they care about your health and your teeth.” | Male patient sits in a light blue shirt in the practice giving his testimonial. The video cuts to the same male patient being greeted with a handshake at reception as he continues speaking. The video returns to the man talking. | |

| “It’s a different kind of a dental practice. And if you’re looking for a dentist, if you’re looking for someplace to go, this is where you should come.”” | Video switches to patient couple standing together in the reception area, with dark-haired females speaking toward the camera. | |
