OVERDENTURES – NO MORE MESSY DENTURE ADHESIVES!
If you wear dentures, you’ve doubtless faced an embarrassing denture event. That unexpected moment when they shift, slide, or worse, pop out! You’ve attempted using more denture adhesive with the belief you can make your teeth stay put, but the cream squishes out everywhere. Why bother with the frustrating mess any longer? With dental implants fixed as the anchors for your dentures your teeth will be “locked” in place, so they can’t shift, slide, or pop. Yet they readily snap off for cleaning. Say so long to messy creams! Ask us if you’d benefit from overdentures!

WHAT’S SO BAD ABOUT LOSING A TOOTH?
Dr. Hicks advocates for dental implants to replace your missing teeth. Because regardless of how you lose a tooth – gum disease, decay, accident, or other trauma – without a replacement you may rapidly experience a host of other health issues. Losing even one tooth can trigger your other teeth to change position and eventually alter the way you process nutrients from your food. You may suffer weight gain (or loss), a shriveled facial appearance, or even an unwanted change in your speech patterns.
Implants work efficiently to replace one tooth or many. They’re made to blend with your remaining teeth, looking so natural that at first glance even a dentist may not notice the placement. An implant’s permanence means no embarrassing slippage, upping your confidence level every time you smile. Ask us today about replacing your missing teeth.

IMMEDIATE LOAD IMPLANTS – ANOTHER OPTION
Who needs dentures that won’t stay put? We can abolish undesirable movement for denture wearers with All-on-4™ immediate load implants. With only four implants, dentures can be anchored permanently. They’re known as immediate load, because there is no delay while the bone around the implant heals. In our office, during a single visit, you can have the implants secured and then go home and eat whatever you like.
Previously, to have implants done, a patient would have to be referred to an oral surgeon. After the surgeon placed the implants, the patient revisited their normal dentist to have restorations put over the implant. Now, there is no longer a 4- to 6-month waiting period to finish the process. Nor do you have to work with referrals. We do it all – start to finish – in our office.

Missing Teeth? Why Not ‘Grow’ New Ones?
Dental implants may be the perfect solution for replacing your lost teeth. From the front of your mouth, where they’re highly visible, to the back, where they offer a platform to chew a huge selection of foods, implants can help you obtain a dazzling and healthy smile. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which are secured above your gums, dental implants are anchored below the gumline. The “tooth” placed on an implant seems life-like, because it pushes through your gums just like your original did – it’s like growing a new tooth! Numerous missing teeth can be restored in this fashion. Even people who’ve lost all their teeth can take advantage of implants, because they can secure their dentures, resulting in teeth that don’t shift when they talk and don’t need to be removed at night.
From implant placement to crown fabrication, we handle the entire process in our office, negating the need for a referral. With the assistance of 3-D cone beam CT digital imaging technology, Dr. Hicks can accurately view a patient’s bone structure and determine the best course of action for placement using guided implant surgery. Call us today and see if this treatment is right for you!
