EXCELSIOR, MN – August 28, 2025 – For Connie, a local woman, years of tooth loss and gum disease had stolen more than just her teeth—they had taken her confidence. That changed after she received full-mouth dental implants at Facial Designs, with locations in Minnetonka and Excelsior.
“I was always someone who smiled,” Connie recalled. “But it reached a point where I wasn’t smiling anymore because I was embarrassed about the appearance of my mouth. I tried to keep my mouth as closed as I could while talking to people.”
Before finding Facial Designs, Connie faced discouragement at other dental offices. “I didn’t feel like an outsider when I walked into Facial Designs,” she said. “I felt like I was already part of their family.”
With the help of the clinic’s compassionate team, Connie underwent full-mouth dental implants. The procedure restored not only the function of her teeth but also her sense of self. “I’m not afraid to look at myself anymore,” she said. “I’m over the moon—happy and excited about investing in myself.”
The transformation has not gone unnoticed. Friends, family, and coworkers have commented on her renewed confidence, and her daughter’s reaction captured it best: “Wow, what a difference.”
Facial Designs aims to provide life-changing care for individuals living with missing teeth, gum disease, or dental pain. “Nobody should feel like I felt,” Connie said. “Don’t give up. Come here and let them do what they’re so good at.”
