View submission: Amazing how it can be life changing
As someone who recently got dentures after years of abscesses, infections, and constant pain - thank you. Despite regular care and a relatively healthy life, my teeth began rotting as soon as my adult teeth came in.
My dentures have been life changing. I can eat normally after years of being so careful out of fear of breaking a tooth (I once broke a molar eating a strawberry, and had an abscess before I could get into a dentist to fix it). I can smile with confidence. They look real. The work you did had a very profound impact on so many people. Thank you.

I’m desperately trying to get my husband to take this plunge (he broke his face doing BMX twenty years ago) but he keeps saying our money needs to go to something more important. Like, hey buddy, your health is top priority. It’s rough watching him be in pain, feel embarrassed, etc.

This got me choked up. 😂 I worked in a lab that these cases got sent out to, rather than in a dental office, so I never got to see final results or anything. This comment means a lot to me.

Can you really chew and eat okay? What does it feel like?

How did your teeth rot if you brushed them twice a day and flossed?

I feel this so much. I have no back teeth and maybe 4 or 5 front teeth top and bottom. I used these to eat and now they are ground down and in constant pain. I was purposely avoiding certain foods, I am not a fan of the company but I went to Aspen Dental and got a set that are natural looking. LIFE CHANGING. I can eat a steak properly now. My front are still fucked but I will somehow get full implants done.

I have been suffering from similar issues all my life and am considering having this done. If you have a moment, can I ask you a few questions?
