Lesley shares her experience of having full-arch implant treatment at The Implant Centre, from embarrassing teeth to implants that renewed her freedom, confidence and happiness.

I used to be very outgoing and chatty, and you know laughing. But now I'm the one who will just stand back. You learn to smile in a different way when your teeth are like they are. I just think now we won't go out. I've got to the point where the easiest option for me is to just eat and stay at home. I suppose in the last five years my teeth have deteriorated. It made me feel very low.
Lesley’s Daughter: I remember when she would go up to Pony Club, and when Emma said to smile at the camera, she used to have weird teeth. She (Lesley) kept saying, “I so need to get my teeth done, I really need to get my teeth done.” And then eventually she got it done.
I was nervous, but excited because I thought, here we go, I'm actually doing it. I went into The Implant Centre, Bill was there, and the receptionist was lovely. Once I got there, I did feel very relaxed and everything was just, you know, plain sailing. I never had any, I never had any pain, you just can't fault it. I was just happy right the way through with it because I was just so relieved that I had been and had it done. The first thing you do is smile in the mirror, and I was just so happy with them. It's just lovely to go out now.
I don't worry about going out, I just have what I want to eat, and I’m a bit fatter for it. The perfect thing to have done, I'm 110% happy with them. I just wanted to shout, yay! I got it done. It's great. You can't put it into words. I still feel as happy and excited now as I did when I first had it done.
Lesley’s Daughter: When we go places and we have a family photo, now she always smiles her best.
