An Opportunity for a Second Chance to Smile

Innovative Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Studio is proud to announce that this year’s Second Chance recipients are Shannon and April!!

Shannon, 49, is a dedicated student working toward her real estate license. Having been a victim of domestic abuse for 15 years, she’s overcome significant physical and emotional trauma, including broken bones and shattered self-confidence. Now, as she nears the completion of her studies, Shannon believes that restoring her smile will empower her to step into the professional world with the confidence she deserves. Despite her past struggles, she sees herself not as a victim, but as a survivor who fought hard to reclaim her life. A new smile, Shannon said, would help her feel unstoppable, allowing her to embrace every opportunity ahead.

April, 37, is a cashier who has struggled with her dental health for years, having not seen a dentist since she was 17. Currently, she uses snap-on fake teeth, which help boost her confidence and make customer interactions at work easier. April explained that restoring her smile would give her the confidence she needs to succeed both professionally and personally. Having recently left a difficult 17-year marriage, she is determined to rebuild her life and believes that a smile restoration could be a pivotal step in moving forward.

Shannon and April will receive a full set of customized, artificial teeth at no cost. This tooth replacement solution is called full-arch restoration because it replaces a full dental arch of missing or failing teeth. Our team of experts will work closely with a restorative dentist to complete the treatment.
