POINT OF NO RETURN.
HE WAS ABLE TO FIND A PERMANENT
SOLUTION.
SOLUTION.
SOLUTION. PLEASE WELCOME LARRY LYNN CLOCK
ALONG WITH HIS.
HONEST.
HONEST.
HONEST. WE MET HIM EARLIER.
JOINING US WITH COMPREHENSIVE
DENTAL GROUP.
DENTAL GROUP. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. >> THIS IS THE PERMANENT FIX.
THIS IS LIKE THE MERCEDES OF
HOW YOU WILL DO YOU TEETH.
THAT IS THE DENTAL IMPLANT.
YOU HAVE PLACED OVER 20,000 OF
THEM SO FAR.
WHAT COUNTS IS THE PERSON
PUTTING THEM IN.
>> YOU WANT TO BE FAMILIAR WITH
HOW THEY WORK AND THE STEPS AND
OPTIONS YOU HAVE, AND ALSO
MAKING SURE YOU ARE SELECTING
THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU, THERE
ARE SEVERAL CHOICES IN SEVERAL
OPTIONS.
OPTIONS.
OPTIONS. >> NOT EVERYBODY IS THE SAME.
>> KNOW.
>> KNOW.
>> KNOW. >> LARRY FOR YOU, SIPPING SODAS
IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU DID,
BUT MAYBE SOME OTHER THINGS
HAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE
DAMAGE OF YOUR TEETH?
>> I GRINDING MY TEETH A LOT.
I ALSO DID TOBACCO, WHICH
PROBABLY HELPED WEAKEN THE
TEETH.
TEETH.
TEETH. I
TEETH. I SPENT A LOT OF YEARS HAVING
BY DENTISTS, AND HAVING CROWNS
PUT ON AND BREAKING THE TEASE,
BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT I WOULD
GRIND.
GRIND.
GRIND. IT
GRIND. IT WAS A COMBINATION.
>> IT MADE LIFE MISERABLE.
EVEN TRYING TO EAT AND ALL OF
THOSE THINGS, WE ARE LOOKING AT
THE PICTURE RIGHT NOW, JUST
TRYING TO EAT AND THINGS, IT
WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES.
>> OH, YEAH.
I COULD NOT EAT STEAK OR
ANYTHING HARD.
ANYTHING HARD. I MEAN IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE IT WAS REALLY HARD TO EAT
AT ALL WITHOUT YOUR MOUTH
BLEEDING.
BLEEDING.
BLEEDING. >> HOW DID THAT AFFECT YOUR
SELF-ESTEEM?
SELF-ESTEEM? YOU SEE THE PICTURES, YOU HEARD
THE REACTION FROM THE AUDIENCE,
HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR SELF-
ESTEEM?
ESTEEM?
ESTEEM? >> IT WAS ROUGH.
I WAS REALLY EMBARRASSED TO
TALK TO PEOPLE.
I WOULD ALWAYS HOLD MY HEAD
DOWN, OR PUT MY HAND OVER MY
MOUTH WHEN TALKING, THINGS LIKE
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. >>
THAT. >> DR. HANNA, YOU HEARD HIM SAY
BAD DENTIST.
BAD DENTIST. SOMETIMES IT IS JUST A
PATCHWORK IS BEING DONE, AND
THE PATCHWORK ONLY LAST FOR A
SECOND?
SECOND?
SECOND? >> IN ALL FAIRNESS, IT IS NOT
BAD INTENTIONS FROM THE
DENTIST, IT IS JUST THE
LIMITATIONS THEY HAVE IN THE
PRACTICE, OR LOOKING AT ONE
TOOTH AT A TIME, INSTEAD OF
LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE.
>> SOLVING IT FOR THE MOMENT.
>> YES, AND THE OTHER THINGS
ARE FAR WORSE OUTSIDE OF OUR
CONTROL, LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS
LESS SET SALIVA PRODUCTION,
SOMEONE THAT GENETICALLY HAS
PREDISPOSITION.
PREDISPOSITION. POOR FLUORIDE IS GOING OUT, THE
COMPOSITION OF THE TEETH.
THE ENEMA MATERIAL
>> FOR YOU, YOU DON'T CARE WHAT
THE PROBLEM IS, YOU DON'T WANT
ANYONE TO FEEL EMBARRASSED, HE
WENT TO WORK ON HOW YOU CAN FIX
IT?
IT?
IT? >>
IT? >> IT
IT? >> IT IS NOBODY'S FAULT.
WE ARE HERE TODAY, AND I KNOW
HAVE SOLUTIONS.
HAVE SOLUTIONS. AND IN LARRY'S CASE, IT IS SIX
YEARS OLD.
YEARS OLD. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE
BEEN DOING THE LAST MONTH OR
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING. HE HAS BEEN SIX YEARS ENJOYING
HIS NEW TEETH.
>> AND YOUR TEETH ARE GORGEOUS.
AND YOU ARE A HANDSOME MAN.
>> Reporter: I LOVE THEM.
>> WHEN HE FIRST LOOKS IN THE
MIRROR AND SAW THIS TEASE, WHAT
WAS YOUR REACTION?
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO GET
USED TO NOT COVERING YOUR
MOUTH.
MOUTH.
MOUTH. >>
MOUTH. >> IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE.
IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR OR SO.
WHEN I SAW THE TEETH, IT WAS
LIKE WOW.
LIKE WOW.
LIKE WOW. THIS WAS BETTER THAN I EVER
EXPECTED IT TO BE.
>> ALL RIGHT, I MENTIONED
EARLIER HOW IF YOU KNOCKED ONE
TOOTH OUT IN THE CONTEXT FOR
IT, YOU CAN GET THAT IMPLANT
PUT IN.
PUT IN.
PUT IN. THE THING IS THERE PERMANENTLY.
YOU MIGHT NEED A WHOLE MONTH OF
IMPLANTS.
IMPLANTS.
IMPLANTS. BUT, YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE
TO PAY FOR A WHOLE MESS OF
IMPLANTS, EXPLAIN HOW THAT
WORKS.
WORKS.
WORKS. >>
WORKS. >> WE CAN USE IMPLANTS AND
CONNECTIONS WITH DIFFERENT
MANNERS, WHERE LARRY FOR
EXAMPLE HAS 12 IMPLANTS.
BUT YOU KNOW, HIS CASE COULD
ALSO BE DONE WITH EIGHT, OR FIVE
. AND, WE DISCUSSEDWHAT WILL
HAPPEN WITH IF HE GETS FIVE,
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HE GETS
EIGHT, AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF
HE GETS 12?
HE WENT WITH THE TOTAL OPTION
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE WANTED.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN DONE WITH FIVE.
>> BECAUSE OF FIVE SERVICE
ANCHORS AS WELL?
>> THE CONNECTION IS DIFFERENT,
THE DESIGN IS DIFFERENT.
WE SHOW YOU MODELS, WE SHOW YOU
PICTURES, YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW
IT WILL BE AT THE END.
WHEN YOU SIGN UP, AND WHEN YOU
THROUGH THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW
EXACTLY HOW IT WILL END.

YOU?

HAVE OUR OWN TECHNICIANS, WE DO
THE SEDATION IN HOUSE,
