As I've mentioned before, I'm undergoing a total renovation. No, not a re-invention, but a renovation. There is a difference, you know.... I'm not trying to become something other than what I've always been, but I'm trying to work with what I've been given to make it better :)LOL
Ta
ke a look at my smile.... thank YOU, Dr. Meyer!
This was shortly after I 'sneezed my front tooth out'

In this picture you can see that I've had both of my upper side teeth removed, my front bottom, and most of both sides.
Here is the total SMILE
done with NO PAIN AT ALL !!! And this was taken just 4 hours
after the last teeth were pulled and the dentures & partials put in!
I just thank God for his help, healing, and providing me the means to achieve this. And for my hubby who made it possible through his own sacrifice for me to have a healthy mouth.

I will admit, the first time I smiled I was a little sad. The woman looking back at me in the mirror, didn't look like me. I cried and wanted my old crocked teeth back, because that's who I've always been. But now, looking at these beautiful straight healthy teeth, I see that even with these God has taken something not so beautiful (but comfortable) and has turned it into something wonderful :) I am so blessed.
Now, I just need to learn how to talk again :)LOL

You are so brave! Your new smile is just beautiful! I know what you mean about the stranger in the mirror thing.
I few years ago, I had to have re constructive surgery done my nose, because of skin cancer and all the while I am grateful that the cancer wasn't worse...I did grieve & morn over the lost of my original nose & my original look. I guess it's part of the normal healing process.
May the Lord continue to bless you & watch over you.
What a beautiful smile you have! Wear it in good health!
