Waterford patients find denture teeth look just like natural teeth
In 2012, research in The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics reported the most common problem experienced by removable denture-wearers was:
Neuromuscular dentistry takes into account the way all parts of the mouth, not just the teeth and gums, relate to, and interact with, each other. We call this "full-mouth harmony."
When dentures are designed to accommodate all the muscles, nerves, and tissues that enable you to chew, speak, laugh, smile, sing, yawn, and countless other functions, there is no fear of instability.
Dentures designed to sit in a mouth, but not work with its many functions, can cause a poor fit. When design accounts only for a mouth at rest, chewing, pronouncing words, smiling, and the other functions suffer. Quality of life and health issues may arise, including nutritional deficiencies when we no longer enjoy our food, and social isolation when we fear our dentures will slip, or others will judge us for how we talk.
The "facelift" part comes into play when their neuromuscular dentistry-oriented design also supports the face. The result is an "after" picture of yourself not only smiling, but smiling with less excess skin under the neck, and fewer wrinkles and lines around the mouth than in your "before" photo.
The lack of a secure fit causes mouth sores and irritation that can make you dread wearing your new teeth. Strickland Facelift Dentures™ are associated with less denture pain and the reduction of bone loss or resorption in the jaw.
Both of these methods fight the resorption that is often associated with conventional tooth replacements. Bone loss causes functional and aesthetic concerns. As teeth are lost, or underlying bone is not stimulated by the act of chewing, your face can appear sunken. The youthful proportions are affected. You can look much older than you are.
The denture teeth available in Waterford today look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and they have the added benefit of turning back the clock on the aging process. For more information, call Metropolitan Dental Center at .

The problem: Irritation
In addition to the Strickland technique, Metropolitan Dental Center is experienced in the placement of implant-supported dentures. We have a specialist in this area, Dr. Monish Bhola, who can provide a secure fit for your dentures as they are attached to the dental implant or titanium post placed in your jawbone. This allows the type of stability natural teeth provide. While any embarrassing or unwanted movement is eliminated, you still have the ability to remove them as you can with traditional dentures.The lack of a secure fit causes mouth sores and irritation that can make you dread wearing your new teeth.
