Odessa, TX - Dr. Robin Rutherford has been providing cosmetic dentistry in Odessa, TX for over 20 years. In partnership with CBS 7 News at Ten, Dr. Rutherford and his team sponsored a [smile makeover contest] worth up to $20,000.

More information about Sheila, including the videos she submitted, can now be found on Dr. Rutherford's website as well as The Art of Dentistry Facebook page.
