Real Results: One Patient, One Office
When Susan first visited our dental practice, she was in pain and unsure of her next step. She had a failing root canal and signs of periodontal disease. Instead of being referred elsewhere, she was cared for right here by both Dr. Allegretti and Dr. DiFranco. After thorough evaluation and collaborative planning, Susan underwent endodontic retreatment followed by gum therapy and implant placement—all in one location. Today, she’s smiling confidently again.
