We will customize your dentures to fit so well that no one will ever know they aren't your real teeth. Our dentists genuinely enjoy working with denture patients, since they make such an impact on how you look and feel about yourself.
If you are missing all your teeth, you may think dentures are your only option. The truth is that many patients are not happy with them. Even the best-fitting dentures will move around a bit when you are talking or eating since they are made to rest directly on your gum tissue. Your chewing efficiency is actually reduced by approximately 50% and unfortunately some wearers have had embarrassing moments when they come out at the wrong time.
Another serious concern when you no longer have teeth is that your body begins to dissolve the bone and your jawbone shrinks. This causes your face to become shriveled and sunken in making you appear much older. For more information about this process, please visit our page which explains facial collapse.
There is good news. Overdentures can be supported by dental implants to solve the many complaints that denture wearers deal with.
Implants are placed directly into your jaw to support the overdenture. The implant fixture forms an anchor that the overdenture locks into. Another benefit of this procedure is that the implant stimulates the bone. This will prevent bone loss and naturally avoids facial collapse. For more information, visit our dental implants page.
There are many dental implant options available to better secure your dentures for all types of budgets. Mini implants are about half the cost of standard dental implants. Visit the affordable dental implants to learn more.
