Dentures

With the use of dental implants, we can make the teeth with a slight natural overlap known as "overbite". This "overbite" is an essential component of the most cosmetic smiles. Too little overbite and your teeth end up looking too big. Too much overbite and your smile ends up looking "gummy."

If you look at the image here, you can see how much better the smile on the right than the smile on the left. The reason for this is the corrected overbite through the use of implants to support the dentures.

Implants allow us to place the teeth in a position that will allow the lips to sit naturally and show an adequate amount of gum tissue on the new teeth.

Tooth loss leads to bone loss. Implants prevent facial collapse and bone atrophy to help you preserve your facial features and enjoy a more invigorated lifestyle.

Without teeth, the jawbone loses density and volume that can rarely be regained predictably. Years of bone loss can lead to facial collapse causing a change in a measurement we call Vertical Dimension, which is the specific distance between the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin.

Without implants this distance shrinks over time causing a sunken-in face that can give a prematurely aged look. Often times when we provide implant care our patients will come back to us and say they get asked if they've had cosmetic surgery because of the change to a more youthful appearance.

We historically used Botox and Juviderm to get this same "facelift effect" but in order to see results you would have to re-do the fillers once or twice a year. With implants this effect is built into the prosthetic so it is permanent.

Traditional implant-denture processes are often time consuming and inconvenient. Because of this it can often require long healing periods and multiple surgeries to get your final prosthetic leaving you to deal with an ill-fitting un-esthetic temporary prosthetic for over a year. Our streamlined surgical techniques & advanced implant designs allow your implants to be placed on the day you have your teeth removed saving you months of lead times in getting your final prosthetic. We also utilize the latest implant-to-denture locator R-Tx attachments that allow for comfortable denture retention and easy removal for proper homecare.

We believe that an investment in your health and self-confidence is one of the best investments you can make. We've made it easy for you to love your investment by building in features to your new smile that increase its value. When we designed our quality dental implant packages we included a 5 year craftmanship warranty. Rest assured that any repairs or replacement for your new teeth are covered for 5 years. This is just another way we've found to add security to your investment in your smile. We do this because we love to see you smile and we know that as you get lots of complements on your new smile, it will give you the opportunity to share us with people that you know who could use our services if the need arises.
