Missing Teeth? Dental Implants Can Give
You Back Your Smile
Dental
implants are a great way to go in replacing missing teeth for two
reasons. They are so natural-looking they look no different from a
real tooth and they function just like a real tooth to allow you
to eat a variety of foods. Because they are placed under the gums
it adds to their natural appearance just as a real tooth comes
through the gums. It is also a solution for the problems denture
wearers encounter. With implants, you will not have problems with
denture slippage or have to take them out at night. Our office
coordinates the entire implant process from the implant placement
with the surgeon to crown fabrication in our office.
The Other Option – Immediate Load Implants
With
immediate load implants, only four - six implants are used to
permanently hold dentures in place. We use All-on-4™ implants that
never have to be removed. These implants are situated in your
mouth to provide strong support for your teeth. They are capable
of withstanding pressure immediately – no more waiting for up to
six months for the supporting bone structure to heal. The best
part is, you can have beautiful, functioning teeth in just one
visit!
In the past, if a patient had missing teeth and
wanted dental implants, they would have to go to an oral surgeon.
After the surgeon placed the implants, the patient would go back
to the dentist to have a tooth-like structure placed over the
implant. But today, we can take care of the whole process in one
appointment!
Mini-Implants for Loose, Slipping Dentures
If
you wear dentures, you have encountered problems with slippage,
tilting, wandering, and trapped food. We can remedy these problems
with mini-implants. We can place mini-implants to
anchor your dentures and give you the stability and strength you
need. The process is painless and if previously you were told you
couldn’t have implants due to insufficient bone structure you may
be a candidate for mini-implants.
The Answer for
Slipping Dentures – Overdentures
Overdentures are
another option to take care of the problems of slipping dentures.
With this procedure, your denture and/or bridge are secured with
implants that will eliminate the problems of trapped food or
slipping. We are very experienced in providing a great fit that will
have you looking and feeling your best. Let us increase your
confidence and enhance your smile with overdentures!
‘Affluent Dentures’ Let You Look Years Younger
Affluent Dentures change facial contours to give you a more
youthful appearance. For many people it's almost like getting a
facelift! Traditional dentures replace missing teeth, but Affluent
Dentures use neuromuscular techniques to reverse some of the changes
in your face from aging. Patients have been very happy with them as
they really make a difference in your facial appearance. We can
anchor your denture plate so securely you will never have problems
with shifting and slipping again. Come in and ask about this
breakthrough in denture technology.
