TRADITIONAL DENTURE SOLUTIONS

Perhaps traditional dentures are the best option for you. Dr. Hicks can create and fit natural-appearing, custom dentures that won’t move! This innovation involves fitting the denture plate so precisely that you can have confidence while eating, because you know your dentures won’t shift or slip. If you wear dentures, be sure to ask us about this. It will make your life much less frustrating.

Dental Implants

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.

Senior Dental Care

SENIOR DENTAL CARE IS DIFFERENT

As we grow older, the requirements for maintaining good oral health change. At Hicks Family Dentistry, we’re sensitive to the needs of our senior patients. It’s natural for older teeth to lose strength and be more susceptible to damage. Even prior dental work can show the strain of repeated use, becoming prone to fractures and movement. Advancing age means a greater risk for gum infection. After years of caffeine and tobacco consumption, teeth lose their gleam and require professional whitening to bring back their original shine. Some of your medications will decrease the essential flow of saliva through your mouth, and we have products that will relieve this complication. We advocate proper nutrition, daily hygiene, and routine check-ups to help your smile stay dazzling and keep your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime.
