Losing your smile doesn’t happen all at once; it fades little by little, one missed photo. One avoided conversation. One quiet moment in the mirror. For many in the Twin Cities, missing teeth aren’t just a dental issue; they’re a deeply personal challenge tied to confidence, health, and emotional well-being. At Facial Designs, with locations in Excelsior and Minnetonka, we’re honored to be a part of stories like Connie’s, stories of transformation, healing, and renewed joy.
Connie’s journey began with gum disease that quietly took a toll on more than just her teeth. “I lost my confidence… did more damage to my depression… failed to take care of myself,” she shared. Once an outgoing, smiley person, she found herself embarrassed, avoiding smiles, conversations, and even eye contact.
“I was trying to keep my mouth as closed as I could while trying to have conversations.”
After discouraging experiences elsewhere, she found warmth, acceptance, and expert care at Facial Designs. “I didn’t feel like an outsider coming into their fold; I felt like I was already part of their family.”
That sense of belonging helped spark a transformation that went far beyond the dental chair.
Her smile is back, and so is she.
“My daughter said, ‘Wow, what a difference,’ and my coworker said, ‘Where can I get some like that?’” But the biggest shift? “I’m not afraid to look at myself anymore. I’m over the moon, happy and excited about this journey and investing in myself.”
For anyone holding back because of fear, shame, or doubt, her message is clear: “Don’t give up. Come here to Facial Designs and let them do what they’re so good at. They’re exceptional at taking care of their people.”
