“About 4 years ago Dr. Abide did my veneers. I moved to NYS. I have seen 3 dentists since relocating to NYS. They all admire Dr. Abide's work. I'm leaving a dental appt now and he said 'The margins are amazing on your veneers. I would love to meet the dentist that did that work.' Thank you Dr. Abide for the amazing work!”
