Strauss of COAFS.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a child, Chelsea wasn\u2019t taught about oral hygiene; in fact, she didn\u2019t have a toothbrush. The result was a smile Chelsea made a point to cover with her hand when she laughed. She became used to looking away or grinning without showing teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt definitely brought my confidence down a lot,\u201d said Chelsea. \u201cI don\u2019t feel beautiful as a mother, I don\u2019t feel beautiful as a wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enter Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery and Dr. Edward R. Strauss, who was approached by Chelsea\u2019s dentist. Chelsea met Dr. Strauss at their Summerville-Ingleside location for a preliminary meeting during which he told her the good news: The dental-implant procedure would be entirely free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChelsea\u2019s story of being a young wife and mother moved us and we wanted to help restore her smile and her confidence,\u201d said Edward R. Strauss, DMD, MD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe use cutting-edge digital technology to eliminate the guesswork in the full-arch implant procedure, so we knew she would have an absolutely perfect result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Strauss utilized the GM system by Neodent, a new generation of implant systems that boasts high-level engineering. The surgery went seamlessly, and when Chelsea woke up, she had a brand new smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I can look at people and be confident\u2026it definitely boosted my self-esteem a lot,\u201d Chelsea said. \u201cThey turned me into a confident, strong woman that I knew I was always meant to be for my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery is committed to pro bono cases and has remained open during the COVID-19 crisis to treat emergent dental cases.
