We Love our patients!

Drs. Fort and Schilling found that my wife’s implants had not been properly cleaned by others while doing a denture adjustment. She is a very caring person and wants only the best for her patients. The office has been remodeled and no longer smells musty. We follow her wherever she goes; one of the best!

Needed my upper plate fitted once again. Drs. Fort and Schilling took a special cast impression, sent the plate over to her other office, and finished fitting the next morning. Just ate fried chicken and they fit and worked perfectly. Never accept second best, Drs. Fort and Schilling is the Best!
