Chances are you are one of the less than 6% of all denture wearers who’s dentures are secured with implants. This means you are fighting denture adhesives and are not enjoying all the chewing, biting, laughing, and smiling that you could be.
Baby Boomers are turning 65 at a rate of one every ten seconds (or 3-4 million per year). That means more teeth will be slipping and favorite foods will go uneaten.
Are you happy with dentures moving and slipping in your mouth? Are they causing sore spots or even worse, dentures that dislodge while laughing or speaking?
Your quality of life is suffering, yet you have options to improve the situation; dental implants to secure your dentures.
What are Dental Implants?
In simple terms, dental implants are dentures that are anchored to your jaw. Patients report that these implanted dentures look and feel like natural teeth. There are options for implant-secured dentures that can be removed and cleaned. Or, you might decide that fixed implant dentures are right for you. This option becomes a permanent solution.
Talking with Dr. Sigmon will determine which option is available for your particular situation.
