At the end stage of somebody’s failing to dentition, sometimes dentures are the only option. I love doing that. It’s such a great thing what we can do for somebody. We can restore the lip support. We can restore the cheek support. We can increase chewing function. We can give that person confidence to smile. It’s a wonderful thing.
Sometimes, for some patients having dentures, even though we make them so they’re comfortable, they’re still removable. They’re removable prosthesis appliances. If they want something fixed, the next step is to have a denture that is All-on-6 implants so that’s a real reduction in the appliance. It’s no longer removable. We have implants in place to help maintain and keep the bone from deteriorating—keep the bone from resorbing and that offers more of a mouth feel to food, it allows more space for the tongue for speech, it’s a really nice option to offer people. On the All-on-6, it makes it easier for people to chew food who are struggling with removable appliances. They can chew their food easier because it’s less plastic and it’s fixed into the mouth. It doesn’t move. It’s a little bit more natural, like real teeth.

You probably wouldn’t imagine that you’d ever find yourself going to the dentist and leaving in a considerably better mood than when you walked in. Dr Shook and her team are a rare breed of professionalism and excellent “vibes,” for lack of a more scientifically or medically correct term. Solution-oriented advice, quality teeth cleaning services, and most of all, a genuine friendly attitude that feels like everyone there actually cares about your health. Wish I had found them years ago.

If you are missing all or nearly all your teeth, dentures are a fantastic way to get back your smile and your bite. Depending on your individual situation, you may want either full or partial dentures. Full dentures replace a complete arch of teeth on one or both of your jaws, while partials are used when you have some healthy teeth remaining.
Conventional dentures cost less than dental implant dentures. However, some of the benefits of implants may make it worth the added cost. For instance, dental implants will keep you from suffering the bone loss that causes your jaw to shrink, giving you an older appearance and making it more difficult to keep your dentures in place. They can also last a lifetime.
There are many types of dentures; however, they fall into several broad categories. You can get conventional full dentures for replacing a complete arch of teeth, conventional partial dentures if you have some healthy teeth remaining, or implant-secured dentures that will give you excellent stability and performance. Temporary dentures are also available while your final dentures are being made.
