Dentures

Dentures are often used as a replacement for lost teeth, and at Smiles for Life, we can make sure your dentures fit comfortably, function well, and look great. After all, Dr. Tim Brooks and his team want to make sure your mouth is healthy and comfortable, and that you look your best. While there are a lot of high tech alternatives for replacing lost teeth, dentures provide a simple and affordable solution.

Advantages of Dentures

There are many advantages to using dentures to replace lost teeth, but it’s important to make sure your dentures fit well. A poorly fit set of dentures is almost as bad as leaving your mouth empty. Wearing an ill-fitting set of dentures or leaving your mouth empty can cause similar oral health problems. For example, an empty mouth or poorly fitting dentures can affect the muscles around your mouth in ways that make you look older! Also, when you can’t chew naturally, either because you don’t have teeth or because your false teeth don’t fit well, your jawbone will atrophy and degrade. This degradation is caused by the absence of pressure normally imparted to the bone tissue through chewing. Poorly fitting dentures or a mouth devoid of teeth will be very obvious to everyone else, which means you won’t look your best.

Implant Retained Dentures

Implant retained dentures represent a revolutionary advancement in the realm of dental prosthetics. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and often require adhesives to stay in place, implant-retained dentures are anchored securely to the jawbone through dental implants.At smiles for life this service begins with the placement of titanium posts into the jawbone, which then fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once these implants are firmly set, custom-made dentures are snapped or screwed onto these posts, ensuring a stable, secure, and comfortable fit. This not only enhances the wearer's chewing efficiency and speech clarity, but it also eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience of slipping or poorly-fitting dentures. With the promise of restored functionality, aesthetics, and confidence, implant-retained dentures service is a game-changer for those seeking a reliable solution to tooth loss.
