Comfortable Chewing with Teeth In a Day

I don't enjoy eating, its too uncomfortable.

I have heard this a few times from denture wearing patients who have found that they cannot eat or chew food without discomfort. If you wear dentures the fitting surface compresses your gums and they begin to dissappear along with your supporting jaw bone. This can lead to dentures becoming loose, making eating uncomfortable.

If you, like me, enjoy the taste and benefits from good food consider the effect that loose dentures can have on your ability to digest food and feed the rest of you. Eating is the first part of digestion and its important to have this part of you functioning the best it can. Plus, nobody enjoys sucking on a steak, something primitive in us wants to tear at it.

Dental Implants, don't you have to have major surgery?

The thought of having dental implants placed is more concerning than actually having them placed. Sometimes our oral surgeon, Karl Manhem, has to build up bone in your jaw before implants can be placed but this is to ensure that your new teeth in a day a permanent and wobbling dentures are a thing of the past. Placing the implants requires expertise but you will be cared for and it is not painful at all, just a local anaesthetic is all you need in most cases.

Having these 'anchors' placed in your jaws is a starting point to a new smile, they behave like replacement roots. Your acrylic or ceramic bridge can be secured onto these, meaning no more loose or wobbly dentures.
