From Rock Bottom to Radiant: Brittany Negler’s Smile Makeover Journey

Philadelphia’s Brittany Negler faced unimaginable grief when her 18-year-old brother passed away. Devastated, she turned to drugs to numb the pain, which led to severe physical decline—especially her teeth. As addiction worsened, Brittany lost multiple teeth and struggled with infections, sparking a cycle of shame and worsening health.

“I felt broken—physically, emotionally, and mentally,” Brittany shared.

Eventually, she sought help and began her recovery. But after visiting a local dentist, she was told her teeth were “unfixable” and had them all removed. This left her unable to eat properly, and she dropped to a dangerous 77 pounds. Isolated and hopeless, Brittany’s health declined rapidly.

Then, a miracle happened.

Renowned cosmetic dentist Dr. Kenny Wilstead offered Brittany a $38,000 smile makeover. With dental implants and prosthetics, her smile—and life—transformed.

“Seeing my new smile, I cried. I finally felt like myself again,” Brittany said.

Now thriving, Brittany advocates for recovery and dental health, proving that healing is possible—even if it begins with a single, life-changing smile.
