Dentures are a prosthetic replacement for missing teeth that can be easily removed at any point. Theyre essentially false teeth that are made out of acrylic, metal, or nylon and can replace one, several, or all of your teeth. In fact, you can even get same-day dentures the day that you get your teeth removed, which means that you wont have to worry about going an extended period of time with missing teeth.
Generally speaking, patients who are already missing teeth are best suited for same-day dentures. This is because the gums around their teeth have already healed, which means all that needs to be done is to have the dentures created for them. However, you can still get dentures on the same day that youre having your teeth extracted.
Frankel Dentistry is filled with smiles new and old! As we continue to grow, our Frankel family grows with us. Today, we want to highlight some of the original ladies who have been Changing Lives a Smile at a Time since the Dr. Sheldon Frankel days! Over 20 years of dedication to patient care, beautiful smiles, and creating a team who loves one another.
You can find these three in the Frankel office year around. Our three sweet snow birds Tami, Connie, and Karen have migrated North and will be in office for the summer! Schedule with them today to get to know them!
Karen: It was inevitable, my father opened the practice in 1946 and we spent time in and out of the office helping from such a young age. I loved watching my father and seeing the impact he made on patients and our community. Hygiene was my calling. To this day I still treat some of my fathers original patients.
Honestly, it started with a great dental experience. When I was young I used to play softball, during a game I was hit in the mouth and chipped a tooth. I was devastated but my dental experience was excellent. I knew I wanted to do the same for others.
Connie is a fan favorite. Patients new and old rave about her. She has been with our practice since before any expansions. She has spent her entire dental career at Frankel Dentistry! Talk about loyalty.
Oh jeez! It was early, definitely in high school. I just picked a speciality and stuck with it. I started out as a Dental Assistant for 11 years! I switched over to hygiene and Ive just loved it ever since.
