Watch Larry & Tracy's Story
It Was Time Start Looking for a Better Solution
When Tracy first visited Encompass Dental & Wellness, she was impressed by the thoroughness of the team and the level of care she received. After seeing her experience firsthand, she encouraged Larry to schedule a consultation of his own.
After years of dental challenges and frustration with traditional dentures, he was ready to find a better answer.
“I wouldn’t wear my teeth if I could take them out. I’d leave them out.”
Understanding the Whole Picture
During Larry’s evaluation, Dr. Thurston identified the health risks connected to the impacted canine tooth that had remained hidden in the roof of his mouth for years. Advanced imaging revealed that the tooth was contributing to issues that extended beyond his smile and had never been properly addressed.
By taking the time to understand the full picture, the team was able to create a treatment plan focused on both function and long-term comfort.
Solving More Than Missing Teeth
For years, Larry adapted to discomfort, avoiding certain foods and often leaving his dentures out altogether. While previous treatment had focused on replacing teeth, the underlying issue remained.
For the first time in years, he had a treatment plan that addressed both the source of the problem and the long-term outcome he was hoping to achieve.
After removing the impacted tooth and completing a comprehensive restorative plan, Larry was finally able to move beyond temporary solutions and enjoy a smile that felt secure, comfortable, and natural.
“I lost nearly 30 pounds because I couldn’t eat. I’ve gained it back now that I have teeth. It was worth the process. It was worth the time. It was worth every bit of it.”
– Larry Gray
Back to Living Life
Today, Larry enjoys foods he avoided for years, including some missed favorites like steak and peanuts. More importantly, he has the confidence that comes from knowing his smile works the way it should.
What began as a search for better dentures ultimately became a solution that improved his comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
