Terri's Smile Story
Terri came in after she had a tooth break in the back. She mentioned that her teeth were starting to look longer and shift, and she was really embarrassed by how they looked. She had a lot going on, and after taking X-rays, we saw that she had lost a significant amount of bone. Her teeth were not in a fixable situation.
Terri said, “I want to do something that’s going to last. I want to be able to smile and feel comfortable when I say good morning to someone, instead of just saying it without smiling.” We decided together that the right solution was to remove her teeth and place dental implants. She didn’t want something removable—she wanted something that felt natural, looked natural, allowed her to chew like normal, and that she could forget about. After all, when our teeth are healthy, we don’t think about them—that’s what she wanted.
We placed the implants and her new teeth, and it’s amazing to hear from her now. She says, “When I talk to people, I smile. When I pass someone on the road in my car, I smile at them.” If you look at her before and after pictures, you can see what a fantastic personality she has. It’s hard for me to even imagine her not smiling because that’s just not who she is. Her natural demeanor now is, “Hey, I’m Terri!”
It’s been incredible to take that journey with her and see her whole world light up. If you feel like Terri—if you’ve had to hide your smile and you don’t feel like you can be yourself—you can relate to her. What she would tell you is: don’t delay. Now is the perfect time to stop hiding and move forward with your life in a way that allows you to smile, laugh, and eat confidently. There’s a better way out there, and we hope you’ll take her advice and give us a call.
Dr. Eric on the life-changing impact of this Smile Story.
Rediscovering Your Smile: How Dental Implants Transformed Terri’s Life
At Grand Dental in Grand Junction, CO, we frequently encounter patients who have been struggling with the appearance and health of their teeth. For some, the loss of confidence due to dental issues can be overwhelming. Terri’s story is a great example of how dental implants can help restore both a smile and self-esteem.
If you’ve ever felt like your smile is holding you back, or if you’ve been avoiding interactions because of the way your teeth look, Terri’s journey could inspire you to explore solutions that can help.
Terri’s Challenge: A Smile She Wasn’t Proud Of
When Terri first visited our office, she was frustrated with how her teeth were changing. One of her back teeth had broken, and she noticed her teeth were shifting and appearing longer. It left her feeling embarrassed, and she began to avoid smiling, even when she wanted to greet someone warmly. Instead of sharing a genuine smile, she found herself saying “good morning” without the confidence to smile.
After a thorough examination, including x-rays, we found that Terri had lost a significant amount of bone in her jaw. Her teeth had become unstable, and their condition was no longer repairable with simple treatments.
Finding a Lasting Solution: Dental Implants
Terri knew that she wanted a permanent solution. She didn’t want the inconvenience of removable dentures or temporary fixes. What she wanted was to feel natural, comfortable, and confident with her teeth again, without worrying about them on a daily basis.
Together, we decided that dental implants would be the best solution for her needs. Implants provide a long-term option that looks and feels like real teeth, allowing patients to forget that they even had dental problems to begin with. They’re fixed in place and function just like natural teeth, offering the stability and durability Terri wanted.
The Outcome: A Smile That’s Here to Stay
After Terri’s dental implants were placed and her new teeth were secured, the transformation was incredible. She regained her confidence and started smiling freely again. She shared with us how much happier she felt in her daily interactions: “Now, when I pass someone on the street or talk to someone, I smile without hesitation.”
Seeing her now, it’s hard to imagine her holding back her smile. Her bright, warm personality shines through, and she no longer feels the need to hide behind closed lips.
Why Dental Implants Made a Difference for Terri
For Terri, dental implants offered more than just an aesthetic improvement—they gave her back the ability to smile confidently in any situation. Because implants are fixed securely into the bone, they provide the same functionality as natural teeth. This not only restores your ability to chew and speak comfortably but also helps maintain the structure of your jaw and prevent further bone loss.
For anyone dealing with the pain or embarrassment of failing teeth, dental implants can be a transformative solution. They’re designed to last for years and provide the stability and peace of mind that dentures or temporary treatments often can’t.

Dental implants could provide you with the confidence and freedom to live your life fully, just like they did for Terri.
Instead of continuing to hide your smile, you can take the first step toward a solution that works for you. Whether you’re interested in dental implants or want to discuss other options, Grand Dental is here to help.
