Procedure Details

This patient's teeth started falling apart over the years. She was terrified of the dentist, and was ashamed of her mouth. She would never smile, and instinctively would cover her mouth when talking. Dr. Todd worked with her to have all the hopeless teeth extracted, savable teeth saved, and made a full upper denture along with a partial lower denture. Several implants were placed to help provide extra retention for the upper denture. Now she smiles effortlessly and with confidence. She has told us how much her life has changed as a result. She smiles wit

Dentures CAN look natural Before — Before

This patient came to us embarrassed by her smile, always covering her mouth when talking, and terrified of the dentist. We worked with her, our local oral surgeon, and our wonderful lab to save the savable teeth, and remove the hopeless ones. We did full upper denture, retained with implants, and a partial lower denture. She was very emotional when we did the final delivery and she saw herself in the mirror as you can imagine. Upon followup, she's told us how much of an impact this has had on her life, and how we've helped her overcome her fears of the dentist. We couldn't be happy for this amazing young lady. We're honored to have been able to help bring out the smile that was hiding there for so many years. More
