I first met Dr. Alan Betts in 1982 I believe, I had problems with my denture and remaining teeth. I must admit I was apprehensive upon learning the good doctor was a retired military officer. The reason is that my experience with dentist's whilst in the Navy was not pleasant.
So the good doctor took a looksee and surmised we needed to do some extensive work in order to get me up and running, so to speak.
After some dental surgery and whatnot, we ended up with the most satisfactory results in that I now had healthy remaining teeth and a denture properly fitted along with a lower partial.
Again in 2003 it was necessary to redo the denture and partial, but at that time it was done by an associate of the good doctor, after Dr. Betts had a looksee.
Over the years I grew to consider Dr. Betts to be
one of my good friends.
I remember giving him some humongous size carrots, as at the time I was working for a company who supplied a soup company with soup carrots. He was amazed at the size of those boogers.
Anyhow over the years I've thought of Dr. Betts and some of our conversations and am blessed to have had him as me friend.
