I JUST WANT TO THROW THESE DENTURES AWAY!!


There are a lot of people out there have dentures and just don't like them.  I am here to tell you that if you are one of these people, you are not alone.  I would estimate that about 90% of people with a lower denture don't like the appliance and cannot function very well with it.  I am here to tell you there is a solution to these problem dentures!



Dental implants are being used more and more to treat cases like this.  Implants allow for many options for those struggling with either an upper or lower denture.  These implants are placed into the jaw and used to attach the denture.  Yes it sounds painful, but the truth is there is very little pain involved.  It is very minor surgery.  They work incredibly well and most of the time you can use your existing denture, reducing the cost and time to have the procedure completed.

As a member of the International Dental Implant Association, I have been placing these types of implants for a few years and have found them to be very beneficial to my patients.  These patient have been able to enjoy the foods they were not able to eat before they had these implants placed.  They also tell me that for the first time they are able to go to a restaurant to eat and they don't have to worry about their dentures coming out and causing an embarrassing moment!

Dental implants are also the best treatment for replacing missing teeth.  The old method for replacing missing teeth was to cut down two healthy teeth to do a fixed bridge or have a partial denture made that would come in and out.  In most cases, this does not need to be done and a dental implant can be placed to replace the missing tooth.  This allows the bone to be preserved where the tooth use to be and does not sacrifice two other good teeth to replace one tooth.
