<p>AMARILLO, TX (KFDA) - Three local oral surgeons will be giving one individual a $50,000 surgery, a full mouth reconstruction procedure designed to give someone with deteriorating teeth a chance for a new smile.</p> | |
<p>The program, <a href="https://smileagainamarillo.com/about.php"><span style="color:#0000FF"><strong>Smile Again</strong></span></a>, will offer a life-changing opportunity to one Panhandle individual.</p> | |
<p>In order to apply, applicants must have broken or missing teeth and be a non-smoker. The winner will also be someone who wouldn't normally be able to afford this type of extensive surgery.</p> | |
<p>The surgeons will place dental implants and a fixed denture inside the patients mouth. Afterword, the teeth will be fully functional and have a natural look. </p> | |
<p>One of the surgeons adds this type of procedure is relatively new. </p> | |
<p>"I think this is really good for the Panhandle region and especially Amarillo," surgeon William Graves said, "This is a surgery that, up until a couple of years ago, wasn't offered in Amarillo or West Texas. You would have to travel to Dallas or Houston or a major market to have this performed, and now we are able to offer this to Amarillo and our community." </p> | |
<p>July 24th will be the last day to turn in an application for a 'Four Hour Smile,' the name of the procedure chosen due to the unusually short amount of time it takes to perform it.</p> | |
<p>"When a patient leaves our office they have a full set of teeth that they can brush with a tooth brush," Graves said. "They can go from either having bad teeth to no teeth to having a full smile when they walk out four hours later."</p> | |
<p>During the screening process, the doctors will pick from 10-to-20 finalists who will all be brought in one by one for an interview and a free consultation.</p> | |
<p>"The typical patient that we have with this surgery has minimum pain, minimum swelling and the recovery is typically only a couple of days,"Graves mentioned. "The patient will have a modified diet for a couple months while the implant and the teeth in their mouth heal but the recovery is a lot less traumatic then most people would imagine." </p> | |
<p>Check ups will be free of charge but the patient will need to see a dentist for yearly cleanings.</p> | |
<p>If the patient does not have a dentist the doctors will help them find one. </p> | |
<p>You can get the application at <strong><span style="color:#0000FF"><a href="https://smileagainamarillo.com/form.php">Amarillo Oral & Maxillofacial</a> </span></strong>or call the office Monday through Friday during regular business hours at 806-353-1055. </p> | |
