Lisa lost a front tooth at the age of 18, when she suffered an injury to her mouth. Since then, she has not been able to afford regular dental care and her oral health has declined steadily. She has lost additional teeth and has significant tooth decay that affects her ability to eat and smile. Lisa will soon receive a full set of replacement teeth supported by dental implants.
