OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — A metro woman has been waiting for her dentures for months, she is still without a smile.

“Ugly, embarrassed, mostly embarrassed,” said Stacey Northrup, woman missing dentures.

That’s how Northrup says she feels living without her smile

“And just helpless cause I don’t know where else to turn,” said Northrup.

That’s why she turned to News 4, to try and get some answers and her smile back.

Northrup is on disability and is in need of dentures, a procedure Medicare approved and already paid for.

“I would just really like to feel better, look better, be able to eat, chew my food it would be great,” said Northrup.

The process began in April at Complete Dental of OKC in Southwest Oklahoma City.
