Dr. Charlie Mayo, founder of the famous Mayo Clinic, said: “Without teeth there cannot be good digestion. Without good digestion, there cannot be good nutrition. Without good nutrition, there cannot be health.”  If you’ve lost teeth, you may have or may be considering dentures or partial dentures.

What’s the problem with Dentures & Partials?

Whether it’s a full or partial denture, the ability to eat and chew is impaired to a degree. Studies have shown that eating habits of people with dentures and partials tend to be poor.

Dentures and my health?

Dentures wearers report having stomach problems or irritable bowel syndrome. Studies have suggested that persons with five or more missing teeth tend to have reduced mobility & balance, even a shortened life span.

Further problems?

As time goes on from loosing teeth, your jaw bone shrinks and facial structures “cave in,” making the person look older than they are. As this bone disappears, the fit and comfort of dentures dissipates. With this comes numerous types of dental adhesives, many of which contain zinc, an infinite series of adjustments, new dentures, your time and…

Your money!  

Dentures are affordable solutions to your problem, right? Considering the lifespan of dentures is only five to 10 years, when you add adjustments, relines, denture adhesives and cleaners, it could be as much as $50,000! This doesn’t include the possible expense of health problems caused by dentures!

Salvation! Fixed, long-term dental implant solutions that work!

In most cases, dental implant solutions can be provided in as few as three appointments. They restore your smile, confidence and ability to eat and chew whatever you like. Dental implants prevent bone loss, which causes physical signs of aging such as wrinkles and “collapse” of the bone structure around your face and mouth. Unlike removable options, implants are fixed in place and give you stability and strength, so you never have to worry. Proper chewing is necessary for proper nutrition and good health. With implants, you’ll be able to get the nutrients you need out of the food you love.
