If you’ve worn dentures for a while, then you know they don’t fit the same as the day you received them. They may slip more often and you may need costly adjustments more frequently, too. That’s because dentures are only designed to look like teeth; they cannot stimulate bone regeneration the way a natural tooth and its root do. Consequently, your jawbone begins to shrink and those dentures that once fit snuggly are now slipping. Fortunately, there is a permanent solution. With TeethXpress™, Dr. Bruce E. Carter in Lawrenceville, GA, can give you a smile with dentures that are beautiful and secure.

If you have several missing teeth, then the importance of replacing those teeth cannot be overstated. Missing teeth lead to a number of difficulties, including chewing and talking, as well as a number of oral health risks—an increased likelihood of gum disease and shifting teeth—and general health concerns, not the least of which might be insufficient nutrition. And of course, there is the toll missing teeth can take on a person’s self-esteem. One of the best options for replacing several missing teeth, even an entire arch, is implant retained bar dentures. Dr. Bruce Carter in Lawrenceville, GA, has used implant retained bar dentures to rebuild the smiles and the lives of patients in and around the area.

Tooth loss, especially the abrupt loss or extraction of all your natural teeth, can be incredibly challenging, both emotionally and physically. Patients who must face tooth loss, whether from trauma, decay, or gum disease, tend to find the transition very difficult. As soon your natural teeth are removed, the constant bone stimulation once provided by chewing no longer occurs, and the jaw bone that once supported the teeth and soft tissues begins to deteriorate. Over time, these changes can cause traditional dentures to fit poorly, making it difficult to maintain a proper diet and speak and smile confidently. Overall, many patients find that traditional dentures are not the ideal tooth loss solution. Dr. Carter understands this. That’s why he now offers dental implanted supported prosthetics and dentures. Dental implants can be placed immediately to restore the natural form and function of a single tooth, or an entire set of missing teeth. Schedule your dental implant consultation appointment with Dr. Carter today. Dr. Carter is a highly skilled restorative dentist, now proudly renewing smiles daily throughout Lawrenceville, GA, Dacula, Grayson, Snellville, Lilburn, Norcross, Duluth, Suwanee, and the surrounding Gwinnett County communities.
