An ESTEEM Dental Implants Experience with Gloria

Gloria’s Journey to a Beautiful Smile with Esteem Dental Implants

For many people, dental issues can be a lifelong challenge, and the idea of ever having a healthy, functional smile again can feel out of reach. However, at Grand Dental in Grand Junction, CO, we’re committed to helping our patients rediscover their smiles through cutting-edge solutions like Esteem Dental Implants. Gloria’s story is a perfect example of how transformative these implants can be, both physically and emotionally.

Gloria, like many of our patients, had been dealing with a range of dental problems for years. Her journey started long before she came to us – she’d had crowns and fillings from a young age due to a combination of dental issues and accidents. One of her front teeth was damaged in high school, and while temporary fixes were made, she spent years living with imperfect restorations and an uncomfortable bite. It wasn’t until she moved to the area that she and her husband, Jerry, learned about Esteem Dental Implants.

After seeing how well Esteem Implants worked for her husband, Gloria decided to have Dr. Benefield and the Grand Dental team assess her old crowns and determine whether implants might also be an option for her. With her bite misaligned and several of her teeth in need of repair, it was time for a comprehensive solution.

Dr. Benefield walked her through the treatment plan, from adjusting her bite to the use of Esteem Dental Implants, which offered a durable and natural-looking replacement for her damaged teeth. The use of advanced technology, such as a digital scanner, made the entire process even more precise. Gloria was especially impressed with how the scanner helped create perfectly fitting crowns that felt just like her natural teeth.

As with any full-mouth restoration, the process took time, but Gloria notes that it was far less uncomfortable than she expected. The most challenging part, she says, was simply getting the initial numbing shots – after that, the treatment went smoothly, with minimal discomfort. Once the implants and crowns were in place, she felt an immediate improvement, not just in the appearance of her smile but in her ability to eat comfortably.

For Gloria, one of the biggest changes was in her bite. Previously, her teeth didn’t align properly, causing wear and tear on her front teeth and discomfort when eating. After her implants were placed, she noticed that she could bite and chew with ease. Foods that had once been difficult, like corn on the cob and blueberries, were now back on the menu, and she could enjoy meals without worrying about pain or discomfort.

It wasn’t just the physical changes that made a difference for Gloria, though. Like many patients, she found that having a restored smile gave her a renewed sense of confidence. Esteem Dental Implants are designed not only to improve function but also to enhance self-esteem by giving patients a smile they can be proud of. Gloria now feels more comfortable and confident in social settings, and she’s excited about the future with her new teeth.

One of the common concerns Gloria mentioned – and one that many patients have – is the cost of comprehensive dental work. She acknowledged that the investment in dental implants can be significant, but for her, the benefits far outweighed the cost. As she explains, the ability to eat comfortably, smile confidently, and live without the worry of future dental issues made it worth every penny. For patients concerned about affordability, she suggests looking into payment plans or considering phased treatments, as the long-term results are well worth the investment.

Looking back on her experience, Gloria is clear about one thing: she would do it all again. The care she received from Dr. Benefield and the Grand Dental team left a lasting impression on her. She describes the office as a welcoming place where patients are treated with kindness and respect, making each visit a positive experience. And now, with her Esteem Dental Implants in place, she only needs to come in for regular cleanings – no more crowns or cavities to worry about.

For anyone who is in a similar situation, where dental issues have piled up over the years and the prospect of restoring their smile feels overwhelming, Gloria offers this advice: don’t hesitate to look into the options available to you. The advancements in dental care today, particularly with solutions like Esteem Dental Implants, make it possible to achieve results that were once unimaginable. And, as Gloria’s story shows, the benefits extend far beyond just a beautiful smile – they impact every aspect of your life, from how you eat to how you feel about yourself.
