Nurse Melody is a skilled professional and a mother of seven, but she says her missing teeth are a roadblock to career success and happiness. Her dental troubles began about 20 years ago. Now she only has four teeth left, and her personal and professional life have been devastated.
Dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman has agreed to meet with Melody. His examination reveals serious obstacles to restoring her smile. “The problem is, she lost her teeth years and years ago,” he explains. The sooner patients get dental problems attended to, the better! Melody has lost bone in her jaw because of the missing teeth, so implants or dentures may be hard to fit.
