YUKON, Okla. (KFOR) — A metro woman is smiling again, after months of frustration and waiting. Stacey Northrip started the denture process months ago at Complete Dental of OKC, which was already approved and paid for through Medicare. She received temporary dentures and was told the final set would be ready soon, but as weeks turned into months, Northrip found herself without answers and without teeth. With nowhere else to turn, Northrip reached out to News 4. We started looking into the situation earlier this month. We visited the office, knocked on doors, tried calling and even had the police called on us and were told to leave the property. Like Northrip, we couldn't find any answers or her dentures.

Moved by Northrip's situation, local dentist Dr. Eric Mead stepped in to provide her with a new set of dentures, restoring not just her smile, but her confidence as well. "Months and months, it's too long for anybody to go without, you know, having your smile back," said Dr. Mead, Smile Today in Yukon. It was an all day process at Smile Today, but Northrip left the same day with her brand new smile free of charge. "I feel completely different, complete, looking at myself in the mirror right now, I can't believe it," said Northrip. Northrip not only thanks Dr. Mead, but also News 4. "I wouldn't know what to do without you guys. I would have nowhere else to turn and when my mom told me to call In Your Corner I thought that there's no way and then I got a call like the very next day from you, so thank you," said Northrip. Northrip says she can now enjoy the simple things in life that so many take for granted, like eating certain foods.
