Dentist Repairs Woman's Teeth After She Hid Smile for Years

After years of hiding her denture from her friends and family, 25-year-old Ashley Burris got the smile she always wanted recently from Dr Kenny Wilstead in Garland, Texas.

Burris was missing her front teeth and had been wearing a denture for several years, even hiding it from her husband and children, who were not allowed into the bathroom while she brushed her teeth.

This Dentist is truly an Angel! After years of neglect and then domestic violence, I myself have not yet met a dentist who wants to truly help since I don't have heavy pockets. It's a shame I can't afford to hide away in my home. Regardless of my unfortunate luck, I cry tears of happiness for this woman and those who are given a second chance! It warms my heart to know there is hope!

There's a lot of us out here struggling with our teeth. I'm very happy for her.

I have hid my smile for years because of my badly crooked teeth and I’m 26 years old. My parents couldn’t afford to get me braces when I was a kid so it just didn’t happen, but I managed to FINALLY save up enough money for them a month ago. Today my braces are on and I will have them for about two years and I cannot wait to smile freely and not cover my mouth when I laugh. Teeth are the first thing people see when you talk or laugh or smile so it’s a huge blow to the confidence having bad teeth.

Being in that chair for a lot of us means we made a decision to change. It's a big first step and this man is an Angel!

She was so pretty and this made her so happy that her Beauty was intensified

I'll never understand why dentistry has to be so unaffordable. Teeth are so essential to every human this industry has made it only easily available to mostly the wealthy. Most middle class and poor just have to put even the minutest dental work on the back burner due to cost, never mind cosmetic dentistry needed for mental confidence...that's just for millionaires period! If you want great teeth...functional and beautiful....you need to win the lottery!

This dude is changing lives. How cool is that

[someoneyouknow]

Wow... I'd die if someone were to do this for me. What an angel that doctor is. And she's absolutely glowing!

I almost fell out of my chair! I'm a 33 yr old mom and hairdresser with dentures. Had to get them when I was 24, my husband and kids have also NEVER seen me without them! I go through so much hiding them from everyone! Extreme pain from not letting my mouth rest for fear of someone seeing me without them in! I will NOT LOOK in the mirror, and my smile is crooked from them pulling my all my teeth and ripping a nerve out! He is literally changing lives!! God bless him!! He is an Angel!!

This really shows what a lot of people take teeth for granted. Appreciate everything you have when you have it because lot of people don’t.
Have a good day y’all

It's so wrong that we make people feel like they can't be themselves. 💔

[j-wil]

Her confidence just went through the roof!!! Beautiful!!

The transformation of that smile is forever timeless and priceless

This young woman is so gorgeous and lovely! I'm glad that the dentist could change her life! She really deserves it.

To bad we don't have more people like yourself in the world. Always nice to give what you can.no matter the profession.

[skaiphoenix]

I never smile cause I have bad teeth... I rarely leave the house, don't really have a social life... This man is amazing!! 💖

[crorocoofficial]

Respect!! We need more people like this on the planet!!

[KenGombold]

This guy goes above his expectations in dentistry, he is in this business to help others in need to make a difference in his patients

I wish more dentists were like this gentleman. At 31 I had to have my remaining 24 teeth pulled in one go because my dentist told me at the rate mine were decaying due to vitamin deficiency and a pregnancy that they couldn't be saved and had to be removed. Then the dentures my insurance covered don't even fit properly :(
So God bless this man who actually cares and helps people.
