Dentures

A smile just isn't a smile if it's incomplete. Missing teeth cause a host of problems, from difficulty speaking and eating to low self-confidence to jawbone deterioration. Don't give up on your smile. Advances in dental materials and technology have made dentures more lifelike and comfortable than ever.

What is a Denture?
A full denture is a complete top or bottom row of teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. Dentures can be closed or open palate, and they may require denture adhesive to hold them in place.

Implant-Supported Dentures
Dental implants are small titanium posts anchored into the jawbone. For a completely secure denture without the use of clips or adhesive, Dr. Miller may recommend implant-supported dentures for you. The process consists of a brief surgery, during which an oral surgeon can place a few dental implant posts in your jaw to hold the dentures in place. With implant-supported dentures, you won't have to worry about slippage, and your prosthetic will feel safe and sound.
