Dental Implants: Everything You Need to Know

Hi my name is Kristy. I know we just met, but I want to start with a personal story. When I was 7 years old, I fell, severely damaging my mouth to the extent that my very-front adult teeth were knocked out of my jaw in addition to my baby teeth. For years, I just sported a gap in the front of my mouth, but by about third or fourth grade, that started to look ridiculous, and I got a small set of dentures. Eventually, I decided to trade those in for implants. In this blog, I am going to tell you more about my decision, but I'm also going to share information with you about dental implants. As someone who has had them for years and tried other alternatives, I feel like I have a unique perspective, and I want to share it with you. Happy Smiling! --Kristy
