Ellen Konof's Story
Ellen came to Same Day Teeth® with severe oral health issues that caused pain, requiring her to only eat soft foods. Ellen avoided being out in public and didn’t want to be included in family pictures due to feeling embarrassed by her teeth and smile. After her Same Day Teeth® procedure she says it feels like a whole new world! She can go back to eating her favorite foods and enjoying life the way she wants to.
