Dentures

An important step in maintaining a healthy smile is to replace missing teeth. When teeth are missing, the remaining ones can change position, drifting into the surrounding space, but not align properly. Teeth that are out of position can damage tissues in the mouth. In addition, it may be difficult to clean thoroughly between crooked teeth. As a result, you run the risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to the loss of additional teeth.

A denture helps you to properly chew food, a difficult task when you are missing teeth. In addition, a denture may improve speech and prevent a sagging face by providing support for lips and cheeks.

Some patients have loose fitting dentures, but there may be a solution to this problem. Dr. Schrubb can help you determine if an Implant Supported Denture is right for you. If you are a candidate for this type of denture, then it is easy to finally have properly fitting dentures. It is as simple as “snapping” the denture into place.
