Didn’t realize how much I was giving up

“So before being referred, I had six children and with each one of my pregnancies, my teeth would just crumble and fall out. I was to the point where I had only about I think I had 10 teeth left on my upper jaw and I was missing several in the back and the lower jaw as well and so chewing and eating were very difficult and my mouth was constantly sore. So what they ended up doing was the full upper restoration where they removed the remaining 10 teeth that I had I have a permanent bridge with six
implants.

The oral surgeons that we worked with were fantastic and then the doctors here have been
great every step of the way helping me to adjust and to feel comfortable with the new prosthetics and it’s been a lot more intense than I thought originally. The benefits have been so much
better than I could have even imagined. I am so happy with my results.

I sing with a professional women’s group here locally and I was really worried because I knew I was getting my temporaries before our concert. I was concerned about how I was going to be able to speak and sing because it’s such an important part of what I do but there has been very minimal disruption in in the way my mouth feels. In the way that I’m able to speak and talk and so I’m so excited to be able to eat and chew again and have normal abnormal diet. I it’s really amazing how our bodies compensate when we live with problems for so long and we don’t realize how much we are giving up until it’s restored and fixed.”
