Smile Makeover: 2025
A Journey to Confidence: Heaven Lee
Heaven-Lee’s journey to reclaim her smile wasn’t an easy one. After pregnancy, she began to face unexpected and severe dental issues, which left her struggling with not only painful dental procedures but also a loss of confidence that deeply affected her daily life.
She came to us describing persistent discomfort in her upper front teeth, which were becoming increasingly sensitive. Her smile, once a source of joy, had turned into a painful reminder of the dental struggles she couldn’t seem to overcome.
When we examined her, we saw the full extent of the damage: multiple areas of decay and bone loss that had left her teeth irreparable. After reviewing the situation with her, our team and Dr. Stevens carefully discussed the best path forward.
The Plan for Recovery
Based on Heaven-Lee’s condition, the remaining teeth in her upper jaw were non-restorable. The decision was made that dentures would be the most effective way to restore her smile.
After discussing the options, Heaven-Lee agreed to proceed with the plan, a combination of immediate upper dentures
and a lower denture that could be modified with snap-in implants once healing occurred. The idea of snap-in dentures appealed to her as it would give her a more secure fit and a functional, beautiful smile once everything healed.
A Beautiful Transformation Begins
The journey was not without its challenges. The emotional weight of losing natural teeth is never easy, but Heaven-Lee approached the process with determination and courage.
As the months passed, her makeover required careful planning and patience, with Dr. Stevens and our team providing unwavering support every step of the way. The healing process wasn’t instantaneous, but Heaven-Lee’s resilience carried her through.
Now, a year later, Heaven-Lee has a smile that lights up any room. The transformation—both in her appearance and her renewed confidence—is nothing short of remarkable. “I can’t describe how it feels to look in the mirror and love my smile again,” she said with joy in her eyes.
