HANK

When you watch Hank’s videos, keep in mind that this is the first time we ever got to meet face-to-face. We were going out to film Dr. Emilio Arguello, DMD and asked his clinic, Altura, for some recommendations for patients who would be willing to tell their stories. After calling about a dozen, we knew right away that Hank would be our guy. Hank had a similar experience to many of you. He lived with a denture for over 40+ years and knows well the frustrations and shame that can come with that.

No Eating Restrictions

“It is a life changer because of one thing, especially for those who have had dentures. Before, touching the roof of your mouth while you’re eating was a new experience that I hadn’t had for 40 years. I could eat an ice cream cone and people would be amazed that I would chew ice cream. There’s nothing I’ve been restricted from eating.” – Hank

Challenges Eating with a Denture

There are lots of foods that Hank can eat now, unlike when he had dentures and examples of those are apples and caramels. Sneezing with a denture that is starting to get loose is a funny thing for those who witnessed it. Lucky for Hank, it is her daughter.
