Although we make every attempt to save teeth, dentures are sometimes necessary and the best treatment option for some people. Our doctors work intimately with a local lab to create great looking dentures.
No matter how well they are done, dentures do have some drawbacks. They cover the roof of your mouth so it is harder to taste food. Upper dentures suction to the roof of your mouth, but lower dentures tend to flop around.
Implants have changed the way people with dentures are able to chew and function. Dental implants are titanium screws that are placed in the bone and attach to the denture. This stabilizes the denture are allows much better chewing efficiency and retention.
Our office both fabricates and places implants in many situations. Please contact us if you are interested.
