WELCOME
WELCOME BACK. IF YOU HAD MAJOR DENTAL ISSUES
AS A CHILD THINGS CAN GET WORSE
INTO ADULTHOOD.
INTO ADULTHOOD. THEY CAN HELP YOU PUSH THE
RESTART BUTTON AND START OVER
WITH YOUR TEETH.
THAT'S WHAT WENDELL WILLIAMS
WAS ABLE TO DO WITH THE HANNA
DENTAL IMPLANT CENTER.
>> THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF WAYS
THAT PEOPLE CAN LOSE THEIR
TEETH BUT YOU HAD TEETH PULLED
AT A YOUNG AGE.
>> JUST GROWING UP CAVITIES AND
MY PARENTS THOUGHT THAT WAS THE
THING TO DO.
>> HAVING THEM PULLED I IMAGINE
IT DOES A NUMBER ON THE BONE.
>> THE LONGER YOU'VE BEEN
MISSING TEETH THE LONGER THE
BONE HAS FORMED AND ATROPHIED.
ALSO IT BECOMES LESS CALCIUM
DENSE AND WEAKER.
BUT STILL, I'M NOT SAYING IT
CANNOT BE MANAGED IT'S JUST
HARDER.
HARDER.
HARDER. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE WENDELL
HAVE LOST BONE AND HAVE BEEN
TOLD YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
IMPLANTS AND THAT'S NOT THE
CASE IN YOUR OFFICE.
>> NO, IT'S NOT.
FIRST, THROUGH ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY AND 3-D IMAGING WE
CAN FIND WHAT KIND OF BONE WE
ARE DEALING WITH IN QUANTITY
AND QUALITY.
AND QUALITY. >> WE ARE LOOKING AT HIS BEFORE-
AND-AFTER RATE HERE.
>> IF WE CANNOT PLACE THE
IMPLANT IMMEDIATELY WE CAN GROW
BORN GROW BONE FIRST AND WE
HAVE SEVERAL CHEMICALS AND
PROTEINS THAT WE CAN ADD ALSO
TO STIMULATE THE BONE TO HEAL
NATURALLY AND LIKE IT'S
GENETICALLY ENHANCING IT SO
THERE SEVERAL WAYS TO DO IT.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT
MISSING TEETH AS A COSMETIC
ISSUE BUT IT IS A FUNCTIONAL
ISSUE AS WELL.
TELL US WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE
GROWING UP WITH MISSING TEETH.
>> GROWING UP IT WASN'T SO BAD
BUT AS I GOT OLDER I HAD A
BRIDGE ACROSS THE FRONT AND
WITH THE TEETH MISSING IN THE
BAT BACK AND START TO GET LOOSE
AND WIGGLE AND MY BIGGEST FEAR
WAS THAT ONE DAY I WOULD BE
SITTING ACROSS FROM AN EVENING
AND IT WOULD COME OUT.
I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH TO TRY
TO FIND OUT WHAT MY OPTIONS
WERE.

WERE. >> YOU ARE LIMITED ON SOME
THINGS YOU CAN BE.
>> I CANNOT BITE BERGER'S THAT
GOOD AND JUST BITING DOWN ON AN
APPLE OR CORN OR ANYTHING THAT
YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR FRIEND
TEETH ON WAS STRUGGLE.
>> NOT ONLY A STRUGGLE BUT FOR
A LOT OF PATIENTS THERE ARE
NUTRITION ISSUES BECAUSE
THEY'VE HAD TO LEAVE A LOT OF
THINGS OUT OF THEIR DIET.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENS OVER YEARS AND YEARS
THE BODY ADAPTS OR THE PERSON
TRIES TO ADAPT. GRADUALLY
LIMITING THEMSELVES ON CERTAIN
FOOD.

>> I WAS NERVOUS JUST THINKING
ABOUT THE PROCESS AND HAVING
EVERYTHING STARTING OVER.
IT WAS STRESSFUL.
>> WHEN YOU GOT IN THE OFFICE
HIS STAFF IS SO NICE AND HE PUT
YOU AT EASE.
BUT THAT IS THE OTHER THING,
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS

MOM BECAUSE I THOUGHT
PERSONALLY.

>> WHEN YOU WOKE UP AND SAW
YOUR TEETH, WHAT WAS THAT
FEELING LIKE?
FEELING LIKE? >> IT WAS NICE.
I WAS ABLE TO SMILE COMFORTABLY
AND I FELT GOOD.
IT WAS PAIN-FREE BECAUSE I WAS
