I can assure you they are NOT. I just received my third (so, I speak from experience) set of dentures - this time from Dr. Bret Skarr. Within hours co-workers, friends and family members were all asking me what was going on in my life because I looked so “young” or so “happy” or so “healthy.” These are just some of the adjectives. Everyone noticed something was different, but no one guessed what it was. I am so pleased, I even allowed my ID picture to be re-taken – this time with a full-on smile which no one had seen for years and years. I am one completely satisfied customer and the entire process was a pleasure. Cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Skarr and his staff.
