Mee’s Journey to a Healthy Smile with Our Dental Care

The first time Mee came to see us, she was experiencing severe tooth pain and had advanced gum and bone loss around her teeth. In her experience, she only went to the dentist when she was experiencing pain. She believed that going to the dentist was only reserved for those suffering from dental pain. She was unaware that preventative dentistry could help prevent pain. In the past, she had suffered so much dental pain that she lost many teeth. In the past, a non-dentist used a few teeth to anchor and hold a makeshift bridge. In consequence, teeth were being loosen from the jaw bone and causing the pain that brought her to us. The makeshift bridge also rubbed against her gums, which caused an infection.

It was necessary to take a more comprehensive approach to resolve her pain and smile concerns. Our plan involved removing her minimal remaining teeth and replacing them with dentures to give her a new smile.

Mee received a custom-made pair of temporary dentures the day Dr. Yang removed the bad teeth. The second set of permanent dentures were made after six months of bone healing.

The courage Mee displayed in taking the steps towards achieving a healthy smile is inspiring. Instead of just focusing on one tooth this time, she decided to focus on her whole mouth. We are honored to have been a part of her journey and proud to see her now free from pain in her mouth. Mee’s story is a reminder of how important regular dental exams are and the importance of seeking professional care for any dental problems.
