For those in need of dentures – you have come to the right place. The staff at Huntingdon Valley Dental Arts is a team of experienced professionals well versed in both “traditional” dentures as well as secured dentures supported on implants. Dr. Zola Makrauer and his team would be more than happy to provide a great set of traditional, unsecured dentures but you may be excited to learn that there is another option. As an alternative, you can have dentures supported on implants so there is less concern about treating your new dentures drastically differently than regular teeth. Additionally, there are other benefits to choosing these non-traditional dentures such as:

They Stay In Place

Patients that have traditional dentures sometimes have issues with the denture becoming loose even with the use of a denture paste.  This can be due to weight loss or gum recession as we age. This can make simple, daily tasks such as chewing more difficult and make you feel like you are limited in what you can eat and possibly force you to remove foods you love from your diet. Secured, implant-supported dentures stay in place and take the guess work out of eating!

They Are More Comfortable

Traditional, unsecured dentures have the potential to be uncomfortable and may not always sit correctly in your mouth which can make the wearer self-conscious. Secured dentures are made of biocompatible materials which allow them to be accepted by your body and act as your natural tooth root. As a result, they feel no different than regular teeth and can boost your confidence in your smile.

If you have any questions about the process of implant-supported dentures or would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Zola Makrauer, please contact Huntingdon Valley Dental Arts today! Our team can assess which denture option fits your needs and provide you with the best and most comfortable smile!
