Maxillofacial & Reconstructive
Lauren came to us with a congenital condition known as oligodontia, meaning she was born with fewer than the normal number of teeth. She was referred to Dr. Brecht by a prosthodontist in Connecticut due to the complexity of her case. In collaboration with the surgeon, a bone graft was completed, and implants were placed. Finally, her bite was restored with an upper and lower full arch implant restoration.
Patient Story Testimonial
Lauren’s Story
“I was born without my adult teeth. So I had baby teeth but there was nothing behind them. No one in the state of Connecticut was very comfortable touching my mouth. So, all of them recommended Dr. Brecht. It was really difficult because kids are mean. I hated it. I didn’t like the way I looked. I never liked to smile with my teeth. It’s been a really long journey. But compared to today – I can’t stop smiling.”
Thank you!
“Today I feel confident. I feel lighter. I feel like I can smile and not think twice about it. The doctors here have made me feel welcomed, comfortable, safe. I’m grateful for everything they’ve done for me. They’ve really changed my life.”
