Like many patients with dental anxiety, Destiny valued the clear communication, step-by-step planning, and compassionate environment provided by the clinical team. Through careful discussion and assessment, a treatment plan was developed using the All-On-4 Plus® technique—a method that involves placing dental implants to support a full-arch prosthesis.
Destiny had also lived with significant crowding and misalignment since childhood, which contributed to feelings of self-consciousness. While the clinical details of her care remain private, she describes the experience of undergoing treatment and following through with appointments as an important step in reclaiming her comfort with dental care.
For Destiny, simply being able to attend appointments, understand her treatment plan, and proceed with care in a setting that respected her fears was a milestone.
“Don’t let fear stop you,” she says. “Because the team will take care of you every step of the way.”
While individual outcomes vary and depend on many factors—such as a patient’s oral health, anatomy, and overall wellbeing—Destiny’s story reflects the importance of access to a professional and understanding dental team.
If you’ve avoided the dentist due to anxiety or longstanding concerns, there are clinicians who can support you in making informed decisions about your oral health.
