Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 4:13 PMAt 94 years old, I never thought i would have major teeth problems, but I did. all my teeth had to be removed, checking with my dentist I realized I could not afford him. Make a long story short, I was told about the Wright Center in Scranton.I made an apportment and they said they could do it, I was eligable for a grant which save the day for me. after Dr McCarthy pulled all my teeth and I had very little pain, if any.within a few weeks my dentures were done and the fitting went well, I have them in more than a week and I don't have any problems, I believe my future is really looking bright, I am very happy with all the results, the staff was execlent. again thank you Wright Center you are the greatest. god bless
