You can feel confident that we at the office of Dental Specialists of Darien are devoted to the care and comfort of every patient. Our entire staff creates an atmosphere that’s professional, warm and friendly.
Prosthodontists are dentists who have undergone three years of additional concentrated training to perform complex procedures that restore and replace teeth.
