We recently held a contest in Victoria for one lucky person to receive a NeXsmile at no charge.  While there were many deserving contestants, we are proud to announce our winner, Shannon Colwell. 

Before NeXsmile

Shannon has suffered from numerous dental problems her entire life.  By the time she had her first dental appointment, she was 16 years old and years of untreated tooth decay meant having 12 teeth permanently removed.  Since then, Shannon has had 20 more years of dental misery including broken crowns, root canals, abscesses, tooth pain and sensitivity.  In addition to all of these health issues, she was extremely embarrassed to show her teeth to anyone.  Shannon rarely smiled, which affected every aspect of her life.  In fact, she was unemployed when we met her because job interviews caused much stress, anxiety, and disappointment.

Drs. Stephen Schmitt & Benjamin Young, along with chairside assistant Cho Mikell treating Shannon in Dr. Heard's office in Victoria, Tx.

We are very happy to report that Shannon’s life has dramatically changed since receiving her NeXsmile.  Our procedure is completed in one day and recovery usually requires the same amount of time, so Shannon was able to return to caring for her children and job hunting with little interruption.   

10 days after the NeXsmile procedure.

Not only did she quickly find a new job where she can proudly interact with customers every day, but her years of constant pain are a distant memory.

Congratulations, Shannon Colwell, on your new smile and new life!

 

A special thank you goes out to Neoss for their generous support in donating implants and additional components.
