Should I Switch Implant Dentists in the Middle of the Procedure?
I don’t know what to do. I’m replacing two teeth with dental implants. Both teeth, though not right next to each other, are visible when I smile. My dentist has done two Maryland Bridges while waiting for the healing to take place, but they don’t seem to stay on for more than a day at […]
