Jenna: I’ve been dealing with these issues for many years, even before high school. I was not able to see a dentist regularly growing up. I had medical problems and had very brittle teeth. My teeth would break easily. I had difficulty eating sometimes and drinking cold water. It was very hard for me.

Dr. Porter: The main motivator for Jenna was pain and appearance. She wasn’t happy with her smile at all. She wasn’t smiling and covered her mouth when she would talk to you. You could tell she was self-conscious about the way she looked. The real motivator for her to get treatment was to get relief from the pain she was experiencing.

Jenna: The transition for me was when I started working at a cosmetic dentist’s office. I would see people walking in and out of the door so happy. They would smile really big because they had all these changes. You could see what Dr. Porter had done for them, and I wanted that. I wanted to be able to smile like them. Dr. Porter took one look at me and he said, “I know that I can make a huge transformation for you.” I knew that he could.

Dr. Porter: After I sat down with Jenna, we determined she needed a complete reconstructive fix for her upper and lower arch. We embarked on that. We completed reconstructive work on her whole upper arch; veneers, crowns, root canals,and removed some teeth that were unfixable. We also took out some impacted wisdom teeth. 

Jenna: I am a single mom of two kids, a ten and an eight-year-old. I had no confidence in myself. I never thought that I would be able to go out and meet someone or be happy again. When I look in the mirror now, I see somebody who is confident and who loves herself. Dr. Porter took someone who was completely insecure and made them want to smile.

Dr. Porter: Getting patients back to optimal oral health is what brings us in every day. I think changing smiles and changing lives is such a rewarding thing to do.Your smile is your calling card and we make folks more confident every day. Jenna’s new smile gave her the confidence to let her great personality show through.

Jenna: This procedure has completely changed my life. It has made me extremely confident in myself.
