RELIEF IS POSSIBLE JOHN FINLAY OF ‘TIGER KING’ SPORTS A NEW SMILE AND RENEWED CONFIDENCE
“Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness” became Netflix’s breakout hit this spring, and as a result, we all learned a little more about the insane world of big-cat captivity in the U.S. There were many compelling storylines in “Tiger King,” but between major feuds, the outrageous tiger abuse, and a murder-for-hire plot, viewers noticed John Finlay had a very distinct smile with several missing teeth and clear signs of decay. According to Finlay, the show falsely portrayed his poor smile as a result of heavy drug use. Finlay has struggled with oral health issues since he was a teenager, and genetics played a major role in his missing and misaligned teeth. Just over a year ago, Finlay decided it was time to correct his smile and begin a new chapter. In the past, Finlay’s teeth had been repaired with bridgework, which can successfully fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, but chronic issues left Finlay in need of a more extensive fix. In June 2019, Finlay reportedly underwent treatment to remove his damaged teeth and replace them with new, permanent implants. The implants were designed to look like Finlay’s real teeth and function just like natural teeth. The result is a healthy, beautiful smile and confidence- booster for Finlay, who is celebrating six years of sobriety. As Finlay told the media platform Refinery29, "I did this dental
transformation as a way of closing a prior chapter of my life, so it also signified my new chapter, the new me. I am not someone who is very vain or necessarily minds what others look like as I never judge a book by its cover, but for my self-esteem, the new teeth have done wonders." Like Finlay, many Americans struggle with genetic predispositions to oral health conditions. This often leads to further problems, pain, and diminished confidence. However, as Finlay demonstrates, relief and treatment are possible, no matter how prolonged the damage to your teeth has been. Proper dental care can result in renewed confidence and a healthy smile you will be proud to show off.
