Chuck: I had just really failing teeth. I don't even know really honestly, how I would describe it, but like a lot of pain, a lot of decay. I think I even had cracked teeth. Really young, I just had crooked teeth and then I started hiding that in middle school. And so between the crooked teeth that I didn't want people to see and then just neglecting my teeth, going back to you just hide it. If I don't think about it, if I don't see it, then it won't be a problem. Over the course of 15 years of hiding my teeth with [inaudible], it got really bad and to the point where I had no hope for my teeth.
Mark Connelly: When Chuck came in, he was a mess. He had lots of decay, broken down teeth, and pain. He didn't even remember what it was like to be able to eat with all his teeth because he had to find a place that did not hurt. Chuck is a very outgoing, very personable man. He's also a minister, so he preaches a lot and he never felt quite comfortable even being able to smile.
Chuck: I looked up all on implants and I started looking at pictures of each office and what the people in the office looked like and if they were using stock photos or if they were using real photos from their offices. By that time, I got around to that to hear, I was like, all these people look chill, like the office staff, the doctor. I was like, oh man, these people look chill. I'll try them out.
Mark: It takes a lot of faith to put your trust in a doctor who says, "I'm going to put you to sleep. I'm going to take out your teeth. I'm going to place implants for you, and I'm going to make some beautiful, fixed implant-supported bridges, which is what we did.
Chuck: That was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it was going to be in any way, shape, or form. I don't really remember a lot of pain. When I saw my smile for the first time, it was, I don't like to cry in front of people. I mean you go back to the feeling like you're in middle school and you noticed your teeth are crooked for the first time. So, then you start this pattern of hiding your entire life. And then now it's like I can smile, and I don't mind if anybody sees it. I didn't want to do this video. But kind of that feeling of what I was able to see where I went from to where I got to, I was like, if I can help other people do the same thing or have some sort of hope, then that's really why I'm doing this video because I don't necessarily want to.
Mark: I've been practicing dentistry since 1983. This is the 40th year and the reason I continue to practice is because I put all these skills together and I change people's lives. Dental implants, especially full arch dental implants, the way I do them is life-changing. It's dramatic effects on people and it just has multiple benefits.
