Melinda’s Transformation: A Grand Dental Success Story
Transcript of the video: Melinda’s Smile Story
Mary Jo's Smile Story
Melinda was an interesting case. She came into my office already knowing exactly what she wanted. She said, “I hate my top teeth. I’m tired of having them break.” She was missing most of her molars and had learned to smile in a way that hid them. But she was tired of hiding them and wanted dental implants on the top with a nice set of beautiful, strong, and long-lasting teeth.
I said, “Okay, let’s look at your X-rays and see.” Sure enough, that was the very appropriate treatment for her. We took her teeth out, put implants on the top, and gave her a nice set of teeth that don’t come in and out. She had an upcoming vacation and wanted her new teeth by then. Initially, we told her she wouldn’t be totally healed and in her final set of teeth by that time, but she would be in her temporaries, which are beautiful.
You can see in her pictures the difference between her before, her temporaries, and her after. Even in her temporaries for her trip, the transformation in her smile was amazing. It’s incredible how much of a difference it made, even though it was just her top teeth and not her bottom ones.
Eventually, she healed, and we did her final set of zirconia teeth on the top. She loved them so much that she changed her mind about only doing her top teeth. She moved from Colorado to Florida shortly after, but before she left, she told me she wanted to do her bottom teeth as well. I imagine she found someone in Florida to complete the work. I wish I had a picture of her with both her new top and bottom teeth to see the full transformation.
What stands out to me about Melinda is that she came in knowing exactly what she wanted and when she wanted it. She had specific dates in mind, and we were able to make it happen exactly as she hoped. The gorgeousness of her new smile made her decide to do her bottom teeth too.
If you’re like Melinda and have thought about what you would do if you could wave a magic wand and change your teeth, it doesn’t have to be a magic wand. Come in, and let’s look at it together. Let’s figure out if your teeth are fixable or if we need to replace them. Just like with Melinda, if you have an event coming up, we can probably get you at least into temporaries or get you done before your event. It’s the right time right now.
Dr. Eric on the life-changing impact of this Smile Story.
Achieve Your Dream Smile with Dental Implants at Grand Dental
Do you often find yourself hiding your smile? Imagine having a set of strong, beautiful, and long-lasting teeth. At Grand Dental in Grand Junction, CO, Dr. Eric Benefield and his dedicated team are here to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, just like they did for Melinda.
Melinda’s Smile Transformation
Melinda visited our office with a clear goal. She was frustrated with her top teeth breaking and hiding her smile, and desired dental implants that would provide her with a set of strong, beautiful teeth. After a comprehensive examination and reviewing her X-rays, it was evident that dental implants were the best solution for her.
We removed her damaged teeth, placed implants on the top, and gave her a temporary set of teeth. These temporary teeth were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Melinda had a significant vacation planned and wanted her new smile by then. Although she wasn’t fully healed for her final set of teeth, her temporary teeth gave her a stunning smile for her trip.
The Incredible Transformation
The transformation in Melinda’s before and after photos is remarkable. Even with only the top teeth done, her smile was significantly improved. The confidence and happiness it brought her were clear. After healing, we completed her final set of zirconia teeth on the top. She loved her new smile so much that after moving from Colorado to Florida, she decided to have her bottom teeth done as well.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer many advantages over traditional dentures and bridges:
- Durability: Implants are made to last many years, often a lifetime with proper care.
- Strength: They provide a strong foundation, enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
- Aesthetics: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your appearance and boosting your confidence.
- Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth. They also help maintain bone structure and prevent the sunken appearance often associated with tooth loss.
The Dental Implant Process at Grand Dental
- Consultation and Planning: We start with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to evaluate your oral health and determine the best treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable base for your new teeth.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, you will wear temporary teeth.
- Final Restoration: Once healed, we fit you with your final set of teeth, designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
