There once was a very happy, healthy, attractive woman named Anne who lived life to the fullest. She spent lots of time with friends and family and enjoyed a terrific social life. Much like a caterpillar, she could eat whatever her heart desired.

Anne, indeed, was very content. Unfortunately, over time, Anne lost her teeth. She tried full dentures, but found them quite uncomfortable. Anne tried very hard for many months to adjust to her false teeth, but it was very challenging for her.

• She encountered many problems chewing her food properly and even became somewhat constipated. This made her very sad (and a little bit crabby).
• She could not taste her food as well as she used to because her upper denture covered the roof of her mouth. In addition, her lower denture hurt when she chewed. Furthermore, drinking coffee or tea was also problematic, as the hot liquid would melt and loosen her denture adhesive. Occasionally, she even took out her false teeth and tried to eat without them. She always did this in private to avoid embarrassment.
• As time went on, Anne's bottom denture became even more unmanageable. Eating became so difficult that she stopped socializing with her friends and co-workers at meal times. More and more, she was eating alone at home.
• When Anne had to make an appearance at family functions, she always ate beforehand. She learned to plan her schedule very carefully so she wouldn't have to eat in public.
• Sadly, Anne had also lost any sense of romance. She used to enjoy dating on Saturday nights but now she was afraid to eat in public and meet new people. Having loose dentures while kissing would be too embarrassing to even think about.

Anne started to spend more and more time alone. Much like a caterpillar, she spun herself into a cocoon of social isolation.

Anne learned that Chrysalis Dental Centres was now able to offer her a very exciting fixed-teeth solution called All-On-4. Using new technology, Anne could have  permanent non-removable teeth that would be held in place with dental implants in just one day. She would not have to remove them at night and they would look and function almost like her natural teeth. Anne went to the Chrysalis Dental Centre.

Together, the professional dental team crafted a customized solution to best meet Anne's situation. At the end of the procedure, Anne was able to take a real bite out of an apple for the first time in years. She was overjoyed! Her life was changing for the better. She climbed out of her cocoon of social isolation and, just like a butterfly, felt like spreading her wings with joy. Inside and out, she experienced a remarkable transformation.

Her confidence returned and she was ready to take a big bite out of life!

Epilogue

The next day, there was a knock on Anne's door. She didn't usually wear her dentures at home so she panicked - she would never answer the door if she wasn't wearing her false teeth. Suddenly, Anne realized that they were in her mouth permanently. She would never again have to perform her "find my denture dance" before answering the front door. Life was already much better. A more confident Anne began reaching back out to her social circles and rejoined her friends and family. Once again, she was able to enjoy life to the fullest!
