Dentures Are A Quick And Effective Treatment For Tooth Loss

March 26, 2010 by admin · 1 Comment 

Missing teeth can cause discomfort and stress even for the best of us, and we would like a quick and easy solution to this problem. Your teeth are one of the most important parts of your body and you should not have to deal with some of them missing and damaged.

Missing teeth can cause pain and discomfort especially in terms of eating and chewing. Continuing to bite with missing teeth, causes discomfort to your gums and mouth in general. One of the most effective and quickest treatments available for the loss of teeth is a denture.

If you have lost your natural teeth, dentures are an immediate treatment that is available. Dentures not only take into account just the space of your missing tooth or teeth, it also takes into account the general health and function of the rest of your mouth and teeth.

You do not want to have a denture placed, and not be able to go along with your daily duties because it is stressful on your mouth. At the end of the day you use your mouth for many things and ultimately some of the most important.

One of the most popular forms of dentures are over dentures. This is where an x-ray is taken of your mouth to determine exactly where the problem is more accurately. When this has been done and your dentist can determine where treatment needs to be done, you will have implants placed into your jaw, usually only 2 are necessary, and then your dentures are simply placed and fixed onto the implants for a secure fitting. You not need to worry about the dentures slipping or clicking because they will be securely placed on top of the implant.

Are you embarrassed by your smile?

As a dentist, I see people every day who are ashamed of their teeth. Like the patient I talked to recently who burst into tears when she told me how her little grand daughter climbed into her lap and asked “Why are your teeth all yucky and brown?”

It broke her heart that the little girl thought her mouth was ugly – and it made her realize that grown-ups noticed her stained teeth too. They just weren’t as open and honest as children are.

Isn’t it time to stop being embarrassed by your teeth? Half of all people surveyed say they’d love to have a better, more attractive smile. They are people just like you, and

Just like you they’d like to have:
•    Brighter, whiter teeth with no stains or discolouration
•    Straighter teeth with no gaps and no crowding
•    Teeth that aren’t too big or too small
•    Healthy looking teeth with no chips or cracks

In other words you’d like the brilliant healthy smile you’ve dreamed of, and now you have it in weeks!

Don’t Kid Yourself

You can have your hair styled at the best salon, wear designer clothes and expensive jewelry. But if your teeth are stained, crowded and unattractive THAT’S what people will remember!

If you didn’t know about all the spectacular things cosmetic dentistry can do I am not surprised. The past decade has seen an explosion in comfortable, highly effective techniques. But many dentists still choose to focus on things like silver fillings, and wisdom teeth. I can’t imagine why. For me, doing smile make overs is a lot more satisfying because it lets me actually change peoples’ lives.

When I finish, my patients not only give me beautiful healthy smiles, they shake my hand and lots of them even hug me. When is the last time you felt like hugging the dentist who took out your tooth?

Techniques so advanced they take years off your smile!
