patient showing off her new smile with restorative dentistryDr. Hilary Prill and the team at our Rockledge, FL dental office are excited to share Brenda’s story—a journey that has transformed her smile and confidence. Brenda visited our office looking for help with a range of dental challenges that were affecting her quality of life, from discomfort with an ill-fitting upper partial denture to advanced periodontal disease that was causing pain, bone loss, and significant difficulty eating.

Brenda’s Journey with Us

Brenda was apprehensive about seeking dental treatment due to her severe dental anxiety; even discussing procedures made her nervous. Recognizing her anxiety, we offered sedation dentistry options to make her experience as comfortable as possible. By her second appointment, Brenda felt far more at ease, allowing us to proceed with her customized treatment plan without the stress and fear she’d initially felt.

The Treatment Plan

Dr. Prill conducted a comprehensive evaluation, discovering that all of Brenda’s remaining teeth needed to be extracted due to extensive periodontal disease. Our team created immediate upper and lower dentures to give Brenda a functional and aesthetic solution immediately following her extractions. These dentures ensured she wouldn’t go without teeth during the healing process, allowing her to smile confidently from day one.

The denture process included a series of carefully planned steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: A thorough assessment of Brenda’s needs and goals.
  2. Tooth Extractions: Remove remaining teeth to prevent further bone loss.
  3. Immediate Dentures: Temporary dentures were placed right after extraction to maintain her smile during healing.
  4. Final Dentures: Custom-designed dentures placed after healing.
  5. Follow-Up Adjustments: Fine-tuning the fit to ensure maximum comfort and functionality.

Brenda’s Transformation

Reflecting on her experience, Brenda shared, “It really has made me feel better about myself. I’m more comfortable with my smile.” She expressed gratitude for the compassion and professionalism of Dr. Prill and our team, who supported her every step of the way: “The service was amazing. I was so terrified, but everyone was so calming and reassuring.”

A Message from Dr. Prill

“Brenda’s journey shows the power of restorative dentistry. From her initial nerves to the pure joy she felt after treatment, Brenda’s transformation is why we do what we do. Seeing her leave with a smile is the best reward.”
