How Teeth in a Day Works

If you are concerned about some of the unwanted side effects of traditional dentures, such as discomfort and looseness, talk to Dr. Amalfitano about the benefits of implant supported dentures and the fixed full mouth dental implants for tooth replacement. These bridges are stabilized with dental implants, which eliminates the risk of shifting and gum irritation.
