Permanent,
comfortable solutions to loose, ill-fitting dentures.
|
- Do
you have loose, ill-fitting lower dentures that slip when
you eat or speak?
- Do
your dentures cause you pain and discomfort as they rub
on your gums?
- Two
procedures are now available to return the comfort and
security of natural teeth.
Ill-fitting
dentures and denture pain or discomfort are often a result
of an inadequate lower ridge. After teeth are removed, without
the roots of the teeth in the jawbone, the jawbone begins
to shrink in a process known as "resorption."
The lower jaw shrinks at about four times the rate of the
upper jaw.
This process of resorption causes lower dentures to need
almost constant refitting as the denture appliance becomes
loose over the receding bone and gums. When dentures become
loose, irritation of the gums increases causing sores, pain,
difficulty chewing, and sometimes even problems speaking.

| O-ring
Clip-on Dentures create a revolutionary way to wear
lower dentures. No more messy powders or creams to apply
and no more loose dentures or foods you must avoid!
With O-ring Clip-on Dentures you will eat and
speak more confidently and you will have more than three
to four times better chewing stability and comfort with
this system. |
| Titanium
fixtures are surgically implanted on either side of
the lower jaw. |
|
 |
Next,
dentures are prepared with the associated "sockets"
that attach to the bars implanted in your jaw. After
appropriate healing has taken place, (usually 8 weeks),
just clip your dentures inplace for a secure, stable,
comfortable fit. |
| O-ring
Clip-on Dentures solve loose denture problems and
will even preserve bone in the jaw. |
