NEW SMILES, TOGETHER After years of dealing with broken teeth and pain, a couple both chose to restore their smiles and their confidence to be active again.
K
athy Wilkerson was struggling with her self-confidence due to gaps in her smile where teeth had fallen out. “I felt old with my teeth missing,” explains Kathy, who was an administrator in health care before retirement. Her position required a lot of interaction with patients and doctors every day. When her teeth started to fail her, it affected her job. She could no longer address people with confidence.
“We know that a lot of patients have dental phobia,” explains Dr. Andrew Mueller. “We do everything possible to make the environment as welcoming as possible.”
“With the new teeth, I feel younger...I don’t look like I’m in my 60’s anymore.”
Kathy and her husband Charlie also love to travel. But, with the missing teeth, Kathy didn’t want to be seen. She didn’t want to travel. She just wanted to hide. Like many people, Kathy was a little fearful about going to the dentist. However, after 5 MARQUIS SMILE
seeing a Facebook advertisement for The Marquis Center, Kathy decided it was time to regain her life.
To make the dental implant process calm and relaxing, almost all procedures at The Marquis Center are done under appropriate sedation.
After an informative consultation with our doctors, Kathy decided to take the plunge and get a "double": implants and teeth replacement on both the top and bottom of her smile. The restoration procedure results have been life-changing for Kathy. www.marquiscenters.com
