Complete Lower Tooth Replacement
Dentures have long been used when there was extensive loss of lower teeth. However there
are long-term consequences associated with the use of dentures. These consequences include:
Lower Denture

- Detures cause accelerated bone loss.
- Dentures compromise the integrity of facial structures.
- Dentures cause visible aging to be accelerated due to unattractive changes in facial appearance.
- Dentures commonly cause sore spots which are painful.
- Dentures commonly cause " denture breath."
- Dentures must be relined, or made thicker, as bone "melts away."
- Dentures often require the use of adhesives to hold them in place.
- Dentures lead to an inability to eat certain foods, resulting in digestive and nutritional problems.
- Dentures cause embarrassment in social situations when they move or fall out.
While the use of implant supported replacement teeth is a comparatively new technology,
the long-term benefits compare very well with dentures. These benefits include:
- Virtually stops bone-loss/deterioration.
- Maintains the integrity of facial structures.
- Gives improved facial appearance, restoring lost lip support and minimizing wrinkles.
- Provides increased comfort.
- Restores natural biting and chewing capability.
- Gives improved appetite and, consequently, better overall health.
- Provides increased stability--replacement teeth will not move around or fall out.
