    I've been a Dental Hygienist for 46 years and I think your new teeth look great. You were wise to have a few "flaws" built in because that does make them more natural. I'm so glad you had a dentist and periodontist who worked so closely and personally with you.

      dental hygienist told me to get a little sore in 2021 or whatever it was on my lip looked at, i ignored her a few cleanings but she kept dwelling on it and the dentist never even mentioned it. Well i went to dermatologist like she said and they froze it 2 times in one visit. Ok, thought that went good. Well it scabbed over to 3 years and bled so bad ever day that if i wasn't retired i wouldn't have been able to go to work. It bled all over the floor in my house when I didn't have time to grab a napkin. I tell you if they ever bring in one of those lights it will look like a murder scene. Anyways this March 2024, i saw her again and she asked whats wrong with your lip since it was bleeding that a.m. before my visit and i told her how i went to derm. like she asked me and this was the outcome. She said you need it cut off in March. I cried on the way home and on Easter I asked God for a miracle. Well it started healing after that, in Sept I saw her and she said oh I see you got that cut off and I replied NO way. I have a tiny red spot but it is basically healed. Thank you God.

    Our 31 year old son just made his last payment on full-mouth denture implants. He lost the majority of his teeth due to neglect & addiction. But he’s come a long way and paid for it 100% himself. He didn’t want us to help & saved for 4 years all while living on his own. (It was $30,000!) We’re so very proud of him. My heart melted into a puddle when he smiled big for the first time in almost 10 years. 🥹☺️
    I worked in the dental field for 30 years (retired now) so I find the process very interesting.
    Your teeth look great! Thank you for sharing your story.
    Bless you ❤❤❤

    I got my dentures about 8 yrs ago and i do not use denture adhesive. If your dentist has a good lab, dentures should not require adhesive. Just wanted to let your viewers know that dentures don't mean denture adhesive if they fit correctly. I love your laugh and your smile is BEAUTIFUL! Your speech is great and will continue to improve. The more you practice the better it'll be. Your dental team is incredible! I'd just started following you when the accident occurred. You are a WARRIOR! ❤ God bless!

I think too they talked to me about adding this soft....like a padding in your dentures....I had temp dentures that were way too big and would not stay in my mouth, even with adhesive....but I have a LOT of bone/gum issues and I was a hard case. Why can't I win the lottery like that? hahahaha

      @@TheKneadyHomesteader I'm 4 yrs. older than you, and have had dentures for around 10 yrs I think (dates are hard for me, maybe longer). I have the glue-in kind and when my doctor took out my teeth, he told me I would eventually need the implants because I have almost no bone there for them to sit on/attach to. I will have to have cadaver bone put in first, and after that heals, then they can do the implants but they said that will be several months down the road after that surgery. I don't know if you can use regular dentures temporarily until the post holes heal up or not? It's very cost prohibitive though. I will have to stick with the glue until we can save up the money for implants. I have always been curious how those work. It would be nice to not have to re-glue them every time I eat!
      Does anything get stuck under your bottom denture when you bite down with the implants or do they snap in tight enough you won't bite down on a sesame seed and have it send you to the moon and back in pain?
      I also had to have the bone scraping surgery because when they were taking my teeth out, the jawbone around them shattered and kept coming to the surface (which feels like a sliver in your jaw). I am still praying for you too!!

    • @tmrodriguez2517

      ☝🏻IF you need to use denture adhesive if any kind whether it be paste or pads or powder, you MUST see a dental professional or "Prosthodontist"!!! Dentures are not meant to exceed 5-10 years each set you have made...it's important for you to have them examined annually because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure as your mouth changes whether you realize it or not and women are even more prone to bone loss. ALL dentures need to be religned and until it happens you just won't understand how well they should fit!!! ALSO...when your teeth are removed and dentures are immediately replacing teeth those are NOT a final denture, it is an intermediate denture, and you should expect to pay for a final set in ~12-18 months later once everything has healed and shrunk to the final form.

    Thank you for sharing this. I’m 43 and have top dentures. Mine are not the permanent ones, and because of my extreme fear of dentists and my finances, I never went back and got the bottom denture or the top permanent. I was 39 when I got them. I’m so glad you were able to get snap in dentures. That is my dream. Mine flip in and out and I have to re-glue them multiple times a day. It’s been an adjustment but I’m thankful I have something at least. This was very encouraging to me. I’ve prayed for you since the accident and I’m so glad to see you doing as well as you are despite all you have been through. You are an inspiration 🤍

    I had weight loss surgery in 2001, I did lose 220 pounds in 18 months. I have very have many deficiencies including calcium and yes like you my thyroid takes my calcium because I am so low. I have had to have iron iv’s and b12 injections, I take copper and zinc, the list is endless. Anyway about 12 years in I developed uncontrollable acid, I went to 9 GI specialist in 18 months and the U of M hospital and no one could help me. Fast forward 10 years later and the acid has eaten my teeth away they just crumble and I need teeth but I do not know what to do and what I can do afford.
    God Bless you dear sweet lady.
    I too never smile with my mouth open, I have a tiny mouth. I think about it every minute of every day, I work in a very professional field. I appreciate you so very much.

I got the courage to go to the dentist (he is very nice) and he said you need dentures. I went for surgery in May and had three implants put in. I had to let the implants heal and now I am almost through the process of getting my dentures. He promises by Thanksgiving. I know how it feels to be toothless; it's not a fun time.

    You look great! I just found your channel about two months ago and think you are a beautiful person. I'm beginning to have problems with my teeth. I've had receding gums for years and have tried to take care of them. Had braces at abe 35, I'm 75 now, and I couldn't have implants because of bone loss. I would have to have a lot of work done to build up bone. I'm too old to go through so much. I guess I'll have to go to dentures eventually, but hopefully, I can keep my teeth until I go to be with the Lord. I also have an autoimmune disease which attacks your joints and teeth. I'm a retired RN and remember when implants were being developed at The Cleveland Clinic Hospital where I worked in the late 70s. God Bless you

    When i was 26 a drunk driver hit us and all my teeth were fractured and I had to have them all removed, that was many years ago, i am 61 now, they did not do bone grafting back then and no implants back then, because no bone grafting was done, my jaw is now as think as a piece of paper and at risk for breaking, abd means i also cannot hace implants because of how thin my jaw is, they say once it breaks then they will take bone from my hips and graft it onto my jaw, and then they will do a couple implants to anchor my dentures, i feel you though, i have never not had problems with my dentures, constant soreness, constantly applying polygrip, its always something, so glad you are through the worst and healing, and you look beautiful xo

    Your Dentist did a FANTASTIC JOB. Yes*** you look like yourself you CAN NOT notice the dentures all natural looking. I’m so glad you used your old photos. What a great idea. I hope when the time comes I’ll be just as lucky to have a Beautiful smile like yours. THANK YOU for sharing

I had an accident at 12 and have always been self conscious. I had my teeth done 2018 and can’t stop smiling and love my photos of me. I told my dentist that it’s been a game changer. Keep smiling!

    Heather, you are beautiful with or with out teeth, but having your complete smile ( and giggle) back is a gift to the world!! Your dentist is truly a Michelangelo of teeth sculpturing, making imperfections perfectly!!
    I understand how teeth can be such an issue with our impression of ourselves. I had my 4 front teeth knocked out in an accident when I was 3 yrs. old, and even though my adult teeth came in years later, I believe it stopped me from smiling. I have no pictures of me really smiling, for years, and I don't know if that's when my severe shyness kicked in. I'm 67 now, and still trying to get a good picture smile.
    Bless you for sharing your life journey, more ups than downs now, thank you God!!!❤

      oh thank you, Shirley! You know, that happened to my second born son, Luke....he fell while playing in the backyard, bam face down on the cement, I snatched him up so fast, and his baby tooth fell out. I pushed it back in and ran him to the urgent care, and ended up saving his tooth! It was a bit discolored, but thankfully it was a baby tooth! It is crazy how trauma can change your smile forever...... I hold your hand in solidarity when it comes to smiling big for the camera!

    I don’t know if it was ever mentioned to you but a speech therapist helps when you’ve had dental implants, my brother in law was hit directly in the face on a fishing boat, he went through the same process, bone loss was the worst of it, in the end a speech therapist helped a lot with exercises to help correct speech impediments. The cost, scary. I admire your strength Heather.

    Your teeth are very beautiful. I had to have implants. I have all on 4 screwed in top and bottom. I now have a slight lisp. I’ve never had a lisp before in my entire life! It really took me by surprise. And when I smile I have a line between my upper lip and nose. My implants are screwed in. I have to have them removed periodically to clean them which does cost a LOT!

    I'm happy you are doing well with your implants, Heather! You've been through so much and deserve every praise. My journey with implants hasn't been successful, I nearly went septic this summer during the donor bone graft/implant journey and have worked to regain my health since then. Still only able to chew around my front teeth and debating which kind of process is next: dentures/flippers or try the implant route again. For now, I'm basically eating a 'mechanical' diet and when food gets in the wrong area, my sad gums and cheeks get injured and then I'm on an L-Lysine diet to heal those tissues. Due to 'good-old-boy' relationships, my dentist's office will never discredit the oral surgeon(s) they recommended during this process (multiples). I can't even begin to imagine the battle you have had to go through to get to this point now, Heather. You've faced so many incredible struggles...none of us can ever even imagine it. I'm sad that my dear Hubby is supportive but can't understand why I haven't wanted to just travel to Mexico to get all of this done for so incredibly much less money. If only I was on his side of this issue, on paper it seems so much easier.

    • @mollysmith6055
      @mollysmith6055 10 днів тому

      Just re-reading and my comment doesn't make much sense...Hubby thinks I should consider travelling to Mexico to have all my teeth removed and then have instantaneous dentures created. Uhh...I can't even really begin to fully explain how fully this is horrifying to me. Doesn't mean it won't ever happen but...yikes, just thinking of this whole process my blood pressure is probably skyrocketing.

      Thank youuuu for taking time out of your day to reply. I have always loved my imperfections. And never been ashamed or embarrassed about it. It just causes alot of discomfort while chewing on my left and can't eat certain things at all in the front teeth, is:corn on the cob cause there's no roots left holding it. But the adult is in the gum line so hopefully have it worked on sooner than later. I just am scared how expensive it'll be.
      Anyway, thank you and hugs back to you 💓
