Dentures
If you've lost multiple teeth from decay, injury or periodontal (gum) disease, dentures may be the solution. Whether partial or full dentures, they're essential not only to your aesthetics, but also your oral health. In addition to allowing you to eat as if you never lost your teeth, dentures protect against facial sagging and tooth movement that could give you a more aged appearance. They also help promote your natural speech. Denture maintenance, combined with a regular regimen of proper brushing, can guarantee you a comfortable, healthy mouth for the rest of your life.
Times have changed and there are new solutions that may offer even better results. The use of dental implants to secure dentures is becoming more common. In fact, in many cases dental implants can be an excellent alternative to dentures. Dr. Tarra Elliott and her team are experienced with dental implants and can help you assess these options and perform the resulting treatment at our office.
