Personal Stories: Dental Implants
Great site, and it's about time someone created a site about cosmetic dentistry. I've had my breasts altered, and a little bit of lipo, to look my best, but never really thought about my smile much, other than regular cleanings.
Last year my dentist concluded that given the condition of my mouth, I might now need a lower denture. She referred me to a cosmetic dentist. The prospect of having to lose my remaining lower teeth was very depressing. The other option discussed with my cosmetic dentist was dental implants.
The implants made it possible to save my lower teeth so that a denture was not necessary. Just recently she was able to an place implant in my upper gum (I had a space) providing a more comfortable and cosmetically improved appearance for my upper teeth. It was very important to have a skilled (and creative) cosmetic dentist to obtain the results.
Even though every guy's eyes focus on my chest, the compliments on my smile just keep coming.
