Over 20 years ago Dr. Larry Stroud, DMD, began his Valley Smiles office at 10303-1/2 Dixie Highway in Louisville, Kentucky. Over the years Dr. Stroud became frustrated seeing people suffering with their dentures and partial plates. Often the dentures were loose and would float around; people had trouble eating; their mouths would stay sore and they hated using all those messy adhesives to keep their teeth in.

Seeing the need for alternatives to expensive and invasive traditional implants to solve these issues, Dr. Stroud became aware of mini-dental implants that require no surgery, minimal healing time and cost much less than traditional implants. The mini dental implants changed people’s lives: patients could eat – and enjoy – their favorite foods again, patients regained their confidence, and patients could live their lives to the fullest.
