PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
One of our long-time patients recently received partial denatures after more than three years of ongoing restorative care. She said she “finally has the confidence to smile in pictures with my grandkids again.”
Another patient who is in recovery from substance use disorder recently completed his care plan which included substantial restorative care. He thanked our staff saying, “You are the bright spot in my day, because your staff are so kind, you make my life better.”
An older woman came to the dental clinic with multiple missing teeth. She was apprehensive about the outcome of her visit. The dentist and his team filled some cavities and made an impression for a partial dental implant. When the woman returned for the fitting, the partial fit seamlessly. She had a lovely smile and could eat again! She wept copious tears over the beautiful results, which exceeded all expectations.
