Why are you experiencing loose denture problems when everyone else you know seems to be fine with their dentures? There are two textbook answers: the denture could be made incorrectly and/or it was poorly fitted.

Yes, you've probably heard of the alternative to traditional removable dentures already. If not, let me provide a brief refresher here. Dental implants can be used to replace full arches of missing teeth permanently, or just secure a loose denture. They have A LOT of benefits, but dental insurance coverage isn't one of them. Dental insurance is one reason why dentures are still so popular. 

BY ELISHA VANDOR, STORIES SUBMITTED BY PATIENTS

 

Over the past 5 years of working alongside Brock, whether at reception, in the lab, or hiding in the back writing these articles; I must tell you, I have seen countless people come in with all kinds of denture problems, or even just denture questions, and leave just so happy they came. Sometimes their dentures were old, lots of times they were loose, other times they didn't even have dentures yet. But no matter what, we hear stories like these every day and are so encouraged to keep working hard doing what we do best, making people smile! I wanted to share just a couple of those stories today, hopefully to encourage you as well, that denture help is our there. Actually, right in your neighbourhood!

A New Year's denture resolution, Part 2

BY BROCK VANDOR - January 8, 2020

 

How can you tell right away if someone has a partial denture? Well a sure sign is when you can see metal hooks when they smile. 

There are many ways to make a denture fit better. Some people may suggest a reline. Others may say a new denture altogether. Although these are ways you can get your denture to fit better, it's not always a guarantee because there still isn't a solid foundation for your denture to sit on. 

Today, I would like to share with you a method that will guarantee your denture will be secure and stay where it should be. 

10 out of 10 patients agreed: a much more comfortable and "No -Gag" experience.

There is a silver lining behind every cloud, and in Paul's case, a smile behind every calamity.  A few months ago Paul was driving along when another car drifted head on into his lane and crashed into him!

Use it or lose it; we know that's how our bodies work. If we don't use our muscles, they shrink. If we don't stretch, we tighten up. Even our brain has been proven to shrink if it doesn't get worked out! Did you know that  your jawbones need a workout to keep from shrinking too? Thankfully you don't have to go for walks or play pickle ball just to get exercise to keep your jawbones from shrinking. All you need are some tooth roots!

People often come into my office asking this question. Although I am truly honoured they trust my opinion on the matter, the truth is...

"I didn't realize how much your confidence is shot when you have no teeth. I am so much more confident now, wow!" Says Larry G. about his new permanent teeth.

If you recall, a few weeks ago we talked about going from decaying or unsightly natural teeth to immediate dentures. You might be thinking ‘my grandma wore dentures; my mom wore dentures, now it’s my turn too’. The good news is, a denture is not your only tooth/teeth replacement option. As the title reveals, dental implants are the leading way for teeth replacement. Now, please don’t say you’re too old for dental implants! We had a patient who was 94…yes 94 get dental implants! When there’s a will, there’s a way! Now that you feel young and energetic, we want to empower you with knowledge about dental implants.
