Patient Testimonial
I had lost 60 lbs during an extended illness and suffered for months with ill-fitted dentures. After two unsuccessful attempts elsewhere, I heard about Wilbraham Family Dentistry. Dr. Christopher Root did such a thorough job I never needed the customary adjustments. Thanks again Wilbraham Family Dentistry.
