What was Amanda’s dental situation before treatment?
Amanda struggled with poor teeth her entire life. As early as age 12, her dentist predicted she would end up in dentures by 40 — and that’s exactly what happened. With both parents also having serious dental problems, she always knew where things were headed. In her last few years, her confidence took a real hit. She rarely showed a full smile in photos and had developed a habit of hiding her teeth in everyday life.
Why did she wait so long to get treatment?
Like many people, Amanda and her husband kept putting it off, assuming the process would be overwhelming and cumbersome. Looking back, they both wish they had done it sooner.
How did she find her dental team?
Amanda was referred to Dr. Affleck and Broadband through a trusted friend who works in the industry. When her husband mentioned the names, his colleague’s wife immediately said, “You have the dream team” — and that turned out to be exactly right.
Was the procedure painful or difficult to recover from?
Not at all. Amanda missed only one day of work — and even then, it was due to minor swelling, not pain. The experience was far easier than she ever expected.
How has it changed her life?
Completely. Amanda can now eat anything she wants — she even raved about biting into a cold apple without a second thought. More importantly, her confidence has transformed. She smiles freely, laughs with her whole mouth, and no longer hides her face in photos. Her husband says seeing that confidence brings them both so much joy.
Is it worth the investment?
In Amanda’s own words — absolutely. Financially, emotionally, and physically, she says it was worth every bit of it. Her dental team adds that with excellent care, implants can last a lifetime, and most patients say the same thing afterward: “I wish I had done this sooner.”
If you’re struggling with your smile or worried about what you can eat, schedule an appointment and explore your options. Many solutions can last your entire life — and so can the confidence that comes with them.
