FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - illiNews -- In a remarkable milestone blending healthcare innovation, human storytelling, and compassionate care, Dr. Taskonak—founder of IN A DAY SMILE in Fort Lauderdale—has been officially nominated for an Emmy Award for his transformative documentary short, "The Weight of a Smile." The film follows the powerful journey of a South Florida woman who had reached the lowest point in her life, only to find hope and a second chance through a full smile transformation.



The documentary captures her struggle with emotional trauma, deteriorating oral health, and the loss of identity that came as her smile declined. As her confidence faded, so did her ability to move forward. Inspired by her courage and desire to rebuild, Dr. Taskonak gifted her a complete full-arch smile makeover, performing upper and lower All-on-X dental implant treatments at no cost. What began as a dental procedure quickly became a turning point: the moment she regained not only her smile, but her sense of self and belief in a new beginning.
