Nobody likes dentures, because everyone wants to keep their own teeth and I understand that, but there are times that people’s teeth are broken down through decay, genetics, or trauma, where dentures can be a very good solution. I’ve made a lot of dentures in my career, so I’ve got a lot of experience at doing it, and the people that we make dentures for are very appreciative. They’re at the point where there aren’t any other good options for them, and so therefore we’re able to take things and many times, they haven’t been able to eat for a number of years comfortably and they’ve had spontaneous toothaches on a regular basis for a number of years. And we put the dentures in there, they have function for the first time in a while, and they can smile without embarrassment, where they had not been able to smile fully or talk with a hand in front of their mouth and sometimes we will combine some implants with some dentures. People say, “Oh my gosh, I feel like I’m in my twenties again. I’ve got teeth that I can eat things that I haven’t been able to eat before.” There are so many things we can do with dentures and gosh, they’ve been waiting so long to do something, and we’ve got an answer now for them. And I hear often what I finished making a denture for someone, “I wish I’d started this earlier. I wish I’d worked up my nerve earlier. This was wonderful. I was thinking it was gonna be so much worse.”
Choose Replacement Teeth That Work for You
Dentures have been part of restorative dentistry for thousands of years. They have been made of a variety of materials. Modern dentures are more durable and more lifelike than they have ever been. Depending on your needs, we can give you a few types of dentures:
- Partial Dentures – If you are missing a few teeth, a partial denture can be made to fill the gap in your smile. These dentures have hooks to connect them to your remaining healthy teeth.
- Full Dentures – If you need to replace a complete arch of teeth, these dentures are made to rest over your gums. Denture adhesives can help them stay in place.
- Implant Secured Dentures – To make your dentures stronger and more secure, you can attach them to a series of dental implants. Implants replace the roots of your teeth and hold your dentures firmly in your mouth. You’ll have more chewing power than traditional dentures and never need adhesive.
Implants can make your dentures function and feel like healthy, natural teeth. Implants provide stimulation to your jawbone, which prevents bone loss.
