Customizing your dentures can restore looks and lead to a happier you.
Removable prosthetics (Dentures, Partial Dentures and Implant-Supported Dentures) are Dr. Susan's favorite part of dentistry—no kidding! We have worked very hard over 25 years to offer our prosthetic patients the very best skills, experience, and outcome we can possibly achieve. In so doing, we have earned the respected referrals from other physicians and dentists.
We're after Comfort, Chewing Ability, Impeccable Speech and yes…Beauty!
Chewing is ever so important—it's the first step in the digestive process. And ill-fitting dentures or partials are just a drag. Sometimes the solution is a simple "reline", refitting of the existing dentures. And sometimes new dentures or implant supported dentures are the answer.
We want to work WITH you, not ON you!
Most people are displeased with some aspect of their existing denture. They often feel disappointed that they didn't have much say in its creation. Making dentures can be such fun, especially with an advanced process called the "Turbyfil Modified Branching Technique". We like to work in collaboration with each person to restore their appearance, speech and comfort, to just the way nature intended it.
We begin with old photographs and identify unchanging "landmarks" to help us know just where the teeth belong in the face. Even the internal fit of the denture is functionally correct. It is made from an impression captured in action (during chewing, talking, smiling, swallowing, etc) rather than an impression that is pressed into the tissue for a few minutes while the patient is holding still. Predictability, comfort and satisfaction are finally possible.
Don't be without teeth for a minute!
If we are helping you through the transition to prosthetics, rest assured we will do it in the most dignified way possible. We will help you look and feel your best through the entire process. As well, during the healing phase of your transition, we will see you as often as needed (for no extra cost) to make sure your new prosthetics fit securely and feel great.
Do you need even more "social" security?
Despite our best practices there are some patients who have difficulties with their lower denture because their lower (or upper) jaw bone has shrunk over the years. Hooray for dental implants! Placing as few as two root-like fixtures in the lower jaw can give the seasoned denture-wearer a whole new feeling of stability and confidence. It's just awesome.
If you or someone you love is struggling with prosthetics or worried about the transition to dentures or partials, we invite you to visit us for a consultation.
Patient Testimonial
I am so happy about my new dentures. I’m very confident in my smile…finally. Susan made my teeth look and feel so natural even though she never even saw my real teeth. She just seemed to know what fit. My lower denture is secured with implants and the whole process was so easy. What a relief. I’d do it all again in a minute.
