Can I get multiple Implants done IMMEDIATELY (same day)?
I made the mistake of getting FULL UPPPER Dentures around 7 months ago (A mistake IMO, I wish I would have saved at least SOME teeth. Now they are gone forever...). I'm in my mid 20's and the Dentist didn't even attempt to save any of my teeth. The only way I have left now is to GET IMPLANTS DONE as...
