Today, I’m thrilled to announce Mrs. Darlene Murphy as the full mouth dental implant winner! And after multiple heartfelt video submissions, this decision was not an easy one. If you’ve ever dealt with the embarrassment of missing teeth, the discomfort of ill-fitting dentures, or the frustration of not being able to eat the foods you love, you’re not alone. Even when you feel you can’t afford dental implants, there is always hope. I encourage you to follow this journey and be inspired.
A Hard Choice Among Deserving People
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve watched each submitted video—some, more than two or three times. The stories people shared were emotional, honest, and in some cases, heartbreaking.
I heard from folks who’ve lost confidence in their appearance, who haven’t been able to enjoy a full meal in years, and who’ve been silently battling physical pain and emotional stress due to poor oral health.
Each and every applicant was deserving. I truly wish I could help everyone. But in the end, only one person could be selected this time around.
Introducing Our Winner—Mrs. Darlene Murphy!
Congratulations Mrs. Darlene Murphy, the winner of our first full-arch dental implant giveaway!
When I spoke with Mrs. Murphy to share the news, her reaction was nothing short of touching, as seen in the below video. Through joyful tears, she shared how long she had been waiting for a break, and how much pain she had been enduring with her teeth.
Her story—like so many others—involved years of putting others first, living with medical challenges, and coping with broken teeth that made it hard to eat and even harder to feel confident when smiling.
What stood out to me most was her humility and heart when I told her she’d won. She wasn’t just thinking about herself—she even expressed empathy for the others who applied and hoped they’d also find the help they need.
That spirit of gratitude and compassion made it clear that Mrs. Murphy was the right choice.

Why Full Mouth Dental Implants?
If you’re new to the concept of full mouth dental implants, here’s a quick overview. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can shift around or require adhesive, full mouth implants are anchored by your jawbone. In most cases, only four to six implants are needed—per upper or lower jaw lower jaws—to support a full set of permanent teeth.
This type of solution is often called TeethXpress®, All-on-4®, DoneInOne™ or Hybridge™. Regardless of the name, the goal is the same: Give people back their freedom to eat, smile, and live with confidence.
For someone like Mrs. Murphy, who has suffered from oral pain and forced to sacrificed leading a healthy diet due to her inability to chew several healthy foods with bad teeth, this treatment will be transformative—not just cosmetically, but for her overall health and nutrition as well.
A Glimpse Into Mrs. Murphy’s Story
During our conversation, Mrs. Murphy opened up about the daily struggles she faced. Her teeth are so broken down that they slice her tongue while she sleeps.
The discomfort affects her ability to eat and sleep, and it wears on her emotionally. Despite all of that, she still managed to laugh, crack jokes, and maintain a sense of humor—even referring to herself as giving a “hag disclaimer” when talking to people.
But the truth is, Mrs. Murphy is far from that. She’s warm, genuine, and kind. And she’s ready to get back to greeting people with a smile she can be proud of—one that reflects who she is on the inside.
With a new smile, she won’t just be able to enjoy foods like apples, carrots, or salad again—she’ll also regain the confidence to speak, laugh, and engage with others without apology or shame.
Just the Beginning
We’re just getting started with Mrs. Murphy’s journey. Her examination with Dr. Steven Krakora has been scheduled for May 2025. I can’t wait to share her progress with you. From surgery day to final smile reveal, we’ll keep you posted through videos and blog updates as she goes through the transformation of a lifetime.
And while only one person could win this time, I hope to make additional offers in the future. We’re working on building on our partnerships and opportunities to help more people.
So if you didn’t get a chance to apply—or if you applied but weren’t selected—please stay encouraged. This mission is bigger than one person. We plan to do our part to help others.
