Dentures/Implants

Dentures are a way to restore teeth where there has been significant loss of teeth. There can be full or partial dentures depending on need. These are also known as false teeth that are removed at night for cleaning.

 

There are also dental implants that are fixed in the gum. The patient must meet these criteria:

​

• Have missing or severely damaged teeth

• Have moderate or no bone loss

• Be a non-smoker or quit for the duration of the procedure

• Have no TMJ syndrome

• Have no periodontal/gum disease

 

The advantage to implants is that they:

​

• Prevent bone loss

• Maintain facial structure

• Are more comfortable for normal activity
