Barb's Smile Story
Barb is one of my favorite people in the world. She came into my office with her husband, Dave, who was considering dental work. Like some of my other patients, Barb decided to let Dave go first to see how it went. After we fixed Dave’s teeth, Barb was thrilled with the results. However, it’s important to note that patients can be extremely fearful, and Barb was no exception.
The last time she had visited a dentist was about four years ago. She knew her dental situation was dire, suffering from significant infections. Eventually, the pain became unbearable, outweighing her fear, prompting her to seek treatment. She had built some trust through her husband’s treatment but was still visibly terrified at the prospect of dental work.
We replaced her teeth with implants and a denture on the top, among other procedures. Now, Barb visits us on her own, exuding confidence and happiness with her natural-looking teeth. This transformation from fear to comfort highlights the power of overcoming dental fears and the impact of trust and care in dental treatment.
If you relate to Barb’s initial fear of dentistry, know that it’s okay and often stems from factors beyond your control. We offer solutions to navigate through these fears, including sedation dentistry, to ensure a comfortable experience. Barb’s journey is a testament to overcoming fear and embracing a healthier, happier life.
Dr. Eric on the life-changing impact of this Smile Story.
Overcoming Dental Anxiety: Barb’s Journey to a Beautiful Smile
Welcome to Grand Dental’s blog, where today we’re sharing a story of transformation that goes beyond the dental chair. This tale, featuring our patient Barb and her journey with us, underscores the impact of compassionate dentistry on overcoming deep-seated fears and achieving oral health and confidence.
The Beginning of Barb’s Journey
Barb’s story began when she accompanied her husband, Dave, to Grand Dental. Dave was considering some dental work, and Barb, skeptical and terrified of dental procedures, decided to observe and let Dave take the lead. Dr. Eric Benefield and the team at Grand Dental not only transformed Dave’s smile but also laid the groundwork for trust with Barb, who hadn’t visited a dentist in four years due to fear and was battling significant dental issues, including large infections.
The Decision That Changed Everything
The turning point for Barb came when the pain of her dental issues outweighed her fear. Having built some trust with our team through her husband’s positive experience, she bravely decided to place her oral health in our hands. Barb’s fear was palpable; she was visibly anxious, likened to a “trembling little chipmunk” by Dr. Benefield. However, her determination to improve her quality of life led her to take a leap of faith.
The Transformation
Our team at Grand Dental embarked on a journey with Barb, which included dental implants and a denture on the top, among other treatments tailored to her needs. The goal was not just to restore function but to create a smile that felt authentic to Barb. She didn’t desire a “perfect Hollywood smile” but one that looked natural and suited her unique features.
The Result: A New Barb
Today, Barb’s transformation is remarkable. Where once fear dictated her actions, now confidence leads the way. She visits Grand Dental independently, a testament to her newfound assurance and trust in dental care. Her smile is not only a reflection of skilled dental work but also of her personal growth and the overcoming of her dental anxiety.

It highlights that with the right support and understanding, it’s possible to turn apprehension into a positive outcome.
