Dental Implants and Loving Yourself

As long as I can remember, I've hated the way that I looked in some sense or another. Check out dental implants Cedar Park. When I was 12, I hated the fact that my hair was straight and lank instead of crimped.

In my mid 20's, I learned to hate my thighs when I compared them to the slim examples that I saw on magazine covers and in movies. Now that I'm safely 35, I can begin to focus on honing in on my crows feet, grey hair, and slightly crepe textured skin.

But above all other things, I've consisted hated my teeth. It started when I was in high school, and lost a tooth far back in my mouth while playing volleyball with my friends. When I held the little white cup in my hand, I was struck by a sense of finality.

I knew that my teeth were never going to be perfect, and this set me on a 20 year long obsession with the quality of my smile. I knew that people probably couldn't see the hole in my gums one way or another, but it still ate me up inside. When I finally got dental implants to cover the missing gap, I didn't suddenly love myself. But they did make me feel better, at least slightly.
