Meet Patsy. ๐ฉต
Patsy is a special part of our SFOMS family. She's known for being selfless, giving, and endlessly dedicated to the people around her. So when she shared how much her smile had been holding her back, our team was honored to help her begin a new chapter.
For years, Patsy struggled with the way her smile looked and felt. She avoided showing her teeth, felt less confident in conversations, and even had to cut her food into tiny strips just to eat comfortably.
"My whole appearance changed," she told us. "I just didn't feel confident talking to people."
That changed with her full arch restoration journey. Under the care of Dr. Chafin and Dr. Weinstein, Patsy gained more than a new smileโฆ she regained her confidence.
When she saw her smile for the first time, her reaction said it all:
"That can't be me."
"It was just so overwhelming that I was able to smile and actually show my teeth and not be embarrassed."
A transformation like this takes a village. We do hundreds of these cases each year, and we're incredibly grateful to the general dentists, prosthodontists, and other partners who make it all possible. For Patsyโs case, we are especially thankful for:
- Straumann for their world-class implant solutions
- CCCDental and Grady Crosslin for their incredible craftsmanship
- Beacon Oral Specialists for all of their behind-the-scenes efforts to support Patsyโs transformation.
And to anyone who's been putting off the care they deserve, Patsy has a message for you:
"Don't procrastinate like I did. Go and ask for help. It'll change your life."
We couldn't be prouder to have been a part of your journey, Patsy! Thank you for trusting us with your care. ๐ฉต
