"My Teeth Were On A Slow Decline, Dental Implants Gave Me The Confidence To Smile Again"

Kerissa's Story

I always had a really nice smile, that was one of my favorite things about me. Then maybe like 10-ish years ago, it started to decline. I started having a lot of dental issues, and I just dealt with it. It wasn’t until I had professional photos from my daughter’s christening when she was a baby done. In all those photos, I couldn’t smile on them, and it was upsetting, but I still dealt with it, because there was nothing that I could really do. Then I lost my husband in 2018, and I lost more teeth that same year, and it was just a decline.

It felt like a lot of dentists that I was going to were taking advantage money-wise. I didn't feel that here, I don't have any complaints. There's no part of this experience that I could say that, from getting my original scans, to my surgery day, to now, the overall office, everything.

Dr. Avi:

Kerissa, a young girl, 35 years old, came to me with a situation where most of her teeth were missing. She had a hard life in the past, she just couldn’t afford to have her teeth fixed. They ended up bringing her to clinics, her father and mother in the past, and basically what they did is they pulled out one tooth at a time. Unfortunately, it was taking a toll on her. She wanted to get her life back together again, and get her confidence back together, and get her smile back.

I would get made fun of really bad, especially because I stream a lot on YouTube. I couldn’t smile and if I did smile or certain angles that I would speak at, I would get memed and called like a horse. It just became a walking meme that my teeth looked the way that they did that. I went to get the partial denture. It was ill-fitting, it was painful. The dentist gave me my money back and told me to find another dentist. I felt really defeated, I cried. I didn’t know what to do.

Dr. Avi:

We instantaneously connected, and I just felt for her, and I knew that I could help her. We did. We ended up taking out her four or five remaining bad teeth that she had in her uppers, replacing them all with implants.

It felt like a lot of dentists that I was going to were taking advantage money-wise. I didn’t feel that here, I don’t have any complaints. There’s no part of this experience that I could say that, from getting my original scans, to my surgery day, to now, the overall office, everything. The fact that they do everything in-house I like, if I had an issue with anything, if I wanted to change something on my final, I could very easily. The overall experience was great.

Everyone’s like, “My God, it looks so good.” They’re like, “You looked good before with the temps, but it’s so much better now.” Because people like to rag on my teeth so much, I’m like, “What are you going to say now? What could you really say?” They’ve seen it from the beginning. They’ve seen me hysterically cry, go from hysterically crying about my teeth. I hated it. Then to go from that, now it’s like any time someone annoys me, I’m just like, “Whatever. Nothing you say really affects me. All the things that you threw at me about my smile, it’s no longer valid.”
