TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Arizona Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons is offering a smile makeover worth $50,000 to one lucky winner.

Dr. Nicholas J. Coles, DDS tells KGUN 9, "Second Chance is a program we created six years ago that provides residents with an opportunity to receive a complimentary Straumann® Pro Arch Fixed Solution which is a complex procedure that restores their oral health by replacing their broken, decaying, and missing teeth with implant-supported dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The program is our way of giving back to the community and helping improve the overall health and well-being of an individual with poor oral health and without the means to afford treatment."

Benefits of the full-arch restoration include:

  • Easier eating without dentures slipping or creating sores
  • Fully taste foods with no denture covering your palate
  • Smile confidently with natural-looking replacement teeth
  • Preserve bone structure and support muscles and lips around teeth
  • Prevent loss of underlying jaw bone
  • No special care necessary—simply brush and floss your teeth twice a day

Kurtt says people living in Tucson, Oro Valley or Shuarita areas is eligible to enter the program.

All applicants have to do is:

  • Complete the short application
  • Upload photos of their smile and teeth
  • Submit an application before Thursday, Sept. 22

Anyone interested may apply at the Arizona Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons' website.
