Finding the Courage to Seek Help
Lori is a native of Yukon OK and founder of Haven of Hope Rescue Foundation which seeks to rescue dogs who are lost, injured, face euthanasia, or are otherwise vulnerable. While Lori has dedicated her life to caring for the injured and vulnerable, her own vulnerability went uncared for as she spent years struggling with insecurity and embarrassment because of her missing teeth.
After seeing Redeemed Smiles on social media, Lori finally decided it was time to explore her options.
She scheduled a free consultation to learn more about replacing her missing teeth and restoring her smile.
From her very first phone call, she noticed something different.
Lori Says,
“From the moment I called and spoke to them, I felt safe and cared about and my anxiety lessened. They listened to me, heard me and walked me through all my questions”.
After she received treatment from us, Lori was absolutely thrilled with the results. Regarding our after-surgery care Lori said,
“I am just so grateful for their care and for their mission and I thank them for helping to take the anxiety out of my treatment plan and surgery and reassuring me along the way. The aftercare and availability of their team after surgery has been phenomenal”.
A Comfortable Treatment Experience
One of Lori's biggest concerns was surgery and recovery.
Our team took time to explain every step of her treatment plan, helping reduce uncertainty and build confidence before the procedure.
Throughout treatment, our focus remained on:
- Clear communication
- Personalized treatment planning
- Patient comfort
- Compassionate care
- Ongoing support
These principles help many patients feel more relaxed throughout their smile restoration journey.
A Sweet Thank You
A few days after her surgery we got the sweetest “Thank you” surprise from Lori and her husband blessing us with a couple of jars of the yummy spicy pickles they sell to support their canine rescue group. The pickles were delicious and seeing Lori smile with such joy and confidence blessed us just as much so.
