Dental Implants, Teeth Replacements, Loose Fitting Dentures

Did you know…

The quality of your smile has a more direct affect on your business (not to mention your personal relationships) than any other part of your appearance?"

In fact, 88% of all people in North America say they always remember someone with an especially attractive smile. Not only that, 75 % agree an unattractive smile can seriously hurt a person’s chance for financial success. Perhaps that’s why more than half the adults in America wish they could change their smile. Many people want to rid themselves of their frustrating ill- fitting dentures. Some adults want to correct problems they have had since childhood like discolored, crooked or irregularly shaped teeth. Others want to fix conditions they’ve developed over time, like cracked, worn-down and discolored teeth. There is a good reason for this.
You see… Your Smile Can Make Or Break You!

For hundreds of years, all the way from Mona Lisa to today’s cover girls, a dazzling smile has always carried great significance. It is a reliable indication of a person’s sense of well-being and has an enormous impact on a person’s health, self-esteem and both personal and business relationships. In short… a beautiful smile makes people more attracted to you. More disposed to like you, more eager to do business with you and more eager to help you with any kind of favor you need.

So, if a smile is so important, why don’t more people smile… and… why don’t they smile more often? The answer is simple: They are ashamed and embarrassed by their teeth or their dentures!

Are You A Denture Sufferer?

There are many reasons people don’t like the appearance of their teeth or dentures: many people are still using old and ill-fitted dentures that pop up, fly out or get stuck while they are eating or just smiling; some people have teeth too small or crooked. Others have teeth that are gapped or overlapped. Their teeth suffer from stains and discoloration. Some people wear partial or full mouth dentures that don’t even fit correctly. Some are chipped, broken and worn down. Some people have teeth which are twisted and misled. And almost everyone wishes their teeth would fit better, be whiter, and look more attractive!

3 Dangers of Tooth Loss and Poor Fitting Dentures That You Must Know About!

Danger #1: Bone Loss Makes You Look Older Quicker

Dental Implants assist you in looking and feeling younger, because they prevent bone loss. By preventing bone loss that would normally occur with the loss of teeth, your facial

structure remains normal and intact. The chances of wrinkling and aging before your time is less likely to happen.

In other words, everyday that you continue to wear dentures, you are experiencing bone loss, which makes you look much older than you have to.

Danger #2: Dentures Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease and Oral Cancer

While tooth loss may seem like a small problem compared with other health ad fitness issues, it is often the first sign of bigger health problems for many people and can put them at a higher risk for heart disease and oral cancer.

When dentures don’t properly fit, bacteria can lie in areas behind the dentures and lead to bone disease and oral cancer. Oral Cancer is probably one of the least known forms, but the American Cancer Society reports that there will be approximately 30,000 new cases diagnosed this year alone.

Then there is Heart Disease, which has been linked to gum disease. When dentures do not fit correctly, you have a higher chance of gum disease. The reason you must be aware of these concerns is because dentures are causing more problems than just being uncomfortable and unattractive.

Danger #3: Dentures May Reduce Your Life Span

I know this sounds kind of ridiculous, because who would ever think that your teeth could have an affect on how long you live.

But it’s true! Many people with poor fitting dentures or multiple missing back teeth live shorter life spans of up to 10 years less, due to poor eating habits and stomach problems. They tend to eat more processed foods and experience many other health problems related to malnutrition from poorer eating habits. People today now have options to dentures, and one of them is dental implants.

People who get dental implants can finally eat the healthy foods they have been missing such as; apples, fresh vegetables, corn on the cob, and even steak!

When X-rays pass through your mouth during a dental exam, more X-rays are absorbed by the denser parts (such as teeth and bone) than by soft tissues (such as cheeks and gums) before striking the film. This creates an image on the radiograph. Teeth appear lighter because fewer X-rays penetrate to reach the film. Cavities and gum disease appear darker because of more X-ray penetration. The interpretation of these X-rays allows the dentist to safely and accurately detect hidden abnormalities.

How often dental X-rays (radiographs) should be taken depends on the patient`s individual health needs. It is important to recognize that just as each patient is different from the next, so should the scheduling of X-ray exams be individualized for each patient. Your medical and dental history will be reviewed and your mouth examined before a decision is made to take X-rays of your teeth.

The schedule for needing radiographs at recall visits varies according to your age, risk for disease and signs and symptoms. Recent films may be needed to detect new cavities, or to determine the status of gum disease or for evaluation of growth and development. Children may need X-rays more often than adults. This is because their teeth and jaws are still developing and because their teeth are more likely to be affected by tooth decay than those of adults.
