These days there is quite a buzz about how a new smile improves a person’s
confidence and self esteem, especially since the advent of the extreme makeover
shows. Many are seeking improvement in their smiles. Denture wearers don’t
have settle for less than a great smile.
Dentures are not often thought of as a cosmetic procedure.
Denture wearers are most concerned with a good fit and comfort, but a great
smile is a social asset and a source of confidence for individuals who possess
one.
The # 1 denture problem is loose fitting lowers. Problems with fit and comfort
can be solved more easily these days with some of the new technologies available
to dentistry.
In May 2002 renowned researchers and scientists from around the world met
at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. After reviewing their research and
debating the problems associated with dentures, they came to the opinion that
using 2 lower implants to stabilize lower dentures should be the first choice
standard of care for patients without teeth. Simple dental implants are one
of the choices in how to improve the fit and retention of dentures.
Many denture wearers are not aware that dentures and their mouths should be
checked every year for proper fit and signs of wear. Many people also try to
make a set of dentures last much longer than is healthy. Ill fitting dentures
are not only a hassle, but also can cause the fit situation to worsen rapidly.
At the Dental Cosmetic Center—Bay Area, we think of dentures from a
cosmetic point of view and we have the technologies and experience to help
you get the quality fit you want, along with a drop-dead gorgeous smile.
