We also offer a wide variety of custom built tooth replacements that look and perform very much like real teeth. Unlike denturists, our dentists have the ability to perform dental surgery while fitting a prosthetic device. This allows them to modify your teeth and mouth for a perfect fit and superior function. This is a relatively new area of Dentistry. Many of our patients, who have lost teeth, prefer dental implants to removable dentures.
Implants offer several advantages since they look and perform very much like natural teeth.
Though more costly, the functional and aesthetic advantages make implants a better investment for many people. For patients with problems using a lower denture, an implant retained denture is a great way to increase chewing ability and overall performance of the denture. Most people's teeth do not mesh when the jaw joint is at rest. In some people this can lead to symptoms of jaw muscle pain, headaches, grinding or clenching of the teeth. General Dentists normally address occlusion problems, after extensive, post-doctorial training in this field.
