DID YOU KNOW?
Approximately 53,000 adults in the U.S. will be diagnosed with oral cancer annually and ill-fitting dentures add to those risks¹?
One way you can help improve your oral health and get a million-dollar smile is with Dental Implant Anchored Dentures.
Let’s go back in time and think about how happy your life was when you didn’t have to wear dentures daily. Do you remember all the varieties of food you could eat confidently? Do you remember enjoying yourself at social functions and being in relationships where smiling came naturally, and life was full of joy? Whether you lost all your teeth from one major traumatic event, or lost one tooth at a time, there is likely one common theme: Today, your life is undoubtedly different. You’re probably less confident, more depressed, and finding that joy you once had seems like an impossible quest.
According to Dr. Soter, who has been practicing general dentistry in the Colorado Springs area for over 12 years, “It doesn’t quite matter how patients get into this situation, whether you’re someone who has had a bad experience with a dentist, or had inadequate dental care as a child, or suffer from fear of dentistry in general, the result is the same: You’ve lost your teeth and are now suffering with a new kind of pain—mouth sores, endless adhesives, and dentures that likely slip and slide which prevent you from living life to the fullest.” Patients who have found themselves in this predicament probably never imagined the pain and frustration that can come with traditional dentures. It’s the least expensive option on the market, and let’s face it, it gets the job done. But, at a cost. And that cost isn’t necessarily monetary; rather, it’s a cost to your overall well-being.
Sadly, the truth of the matter is that the art of dentures has fallen behind the science. Dentures these days seem like a “thing of the past”, and therefore, some dentures aren’t fabricated the way they need to be to create the stability and strength that patients hope for, and frankly, deserve. Some dentists don’t even get the training needed to fabricate good dentures. So often times, patients will find themselves with unstable teeth, that don’t offer a whole heck of a lot of chewing power, and teeth that break and crack far more often than they should. Typically, dentures need to be replaced every five or so years, and that becomes more frequent when the dentures aren’t made well or strong enough to sustain the wear and tear.
The good news is this: Today, you have options, and those options can have a dramatic impact on improving your lifestyle.
First, there is the option of getting a full new set of permanent fixed teeth with dental implants. Bear in mind, these false teeth are nonremovable, which does come with some drawbacks. Bacteria can build up underneath the teeth, which makes it incredibly important to see a dental professional for deep cleaning up to 3 times a year. Plus, this procedure can take up to a year to complete and can often cost $50,000 or more.
The other option is dental implant supported anchored dentures. These are fixed-removable which is the best of both worlds. These false teeth are anchored by 4-6 dental implants, on the upper and lower jaw, so they are fixed when you need them, and removable when you need some extra cleaning. Plus, they only require you to see a dentist 2 times a year for a regular oral cleaning—just like you do with natural teeth. The best part: This solution is up to 60% less expensive than other implant options.
Dr. Soter and his entire team understand the emotional and physical stress that many denture wearers are suffering with day in and day out. “Our number one priority is to help patients bring back that million-dollar smile, with a solution that changes their life for the better and improves their overall health without breaking the bank,” says Dr. Soter.
