A TikTok user recently showcased the impressive outcome of her challenging journey toward a new set of teeth.

Let's be honest, most of us don't exactly relish the idea of going to the dentist.

The prospect of a filling, or even just the scent of the dentist's office, can make anyone uneasy.

But sometimes, despite our reluctance, those appointments are necessary and ultimately beneficial in the long run.

Chey Chalai has been sharing her ups and downs in the dental chair with her TikTok followers.

With almost 640,000 followers, this content creator opened up about her dental struggles back in 2023.

In one of her videos, while detailing her dental routine, Chalai revealed via a text overlay:

"At 20 years old I had to get dentures because I couldn't afford the dental work I needed to get done.

"I was too young at the time and thought my dentist knew best so I trusted him and let him pull all of my teeth out."

She continued, "Now after 11 years at 31 years old my dentist said I've had so much bone loss that my jaw bone looks like I'm 80 years old."

"I've had such rapid bone loss just in the past 3 months that my dentures barely fit anymore so it is painful to eat, talk, or even have my teeth in."

Chalai also noted that she experiences constant pain in her jaw. She linked the beginning of her dental problems to when she initially got braces.

She conveyed her desire for relief, expressing: "I'm so ready to be comfortable with my smile and be able to eat, talk, laugh and LIVE comfortably."

"Getting my final set of teeth btw. I meant to share this back in December when my finals were put in but it's been sitting in my drafts," she shared in the caption of the video.

"Feeling so very blessed!"

Many TikTok users were deeply moved by the transformation, leading to an outpouring of supportive comments.

One individual shared, "I worked in dental for 13 years, and I've never seen dentures look this good!"

Another wrote, "This is the best, most natural set of dentures I have ever seen. ♥️"

A third commented, "Damn… I'm in dental and those are some damn good implant support dentures."

Over on X, a user expressed their happiness for her, stating, "Happy for her so much, but now I'm crying."
