Dr. Kuhn provides Rejuvenating Dentures to provide you with a more comfortable fit and youthful appearance.
Maintaining your lifestyle
Dr. Kuhn is highly experienced with dentures and will find a solution that is just right for you.
You are never without teeth! Dr. Kuhn understands the physical and psychological effects of missing teeth. He will provide you with comfortable immediate dentures for use while your final replacements are being made.
Cosmetic benefits
Rejuvenating FOY® Dentures provide underlying facial support, plump the lips, lessen wrinkles and help to fill out your face. They are designed to match the full height your teeth were when you were young, and as a result, they can reduce many of the signs of facial aging that result when teeth wear down or are lost.
Traditional dentures sit back further in your mouth, toward your tongue, for stability. This backward shift causes an aged, sunken appearance. FOY® Dentures are much more stable and positioned outward for a more natural and youthful look.
Functional benefits
Rejuvenating FOY® Dentures not only look great, they function beautifully. Traditional ones are designed using impressions of your mouth that are taken when your mouth is closed and resting. FOY® Dentures use impressions of your mouth in natural motion, and these dynamic impressions eliminate guesswork about how your facial muscles will move while talking, eating and smiling.
Comfort
Chewing requires pressure, and Ill-fitting often distribute this pressure unevenly, resulting in painful, irritated gums. Rejuvenating FOY® Dentures are designed to accommodate the movement of facial muscles to provide a stable, comfortable fit that distributes pressure more evenly across the gums and reduces denture pain.
A Full Range of Denture Options
We have denture solutions for everyone who is looking to replace one or more teeth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, or will need to be extracted to maintain oral health.
FOY® Dentures
These full dentures are made using the latest principles in cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry. They not only give you a beautiful smile, they can restore the youthful proportions of your face, like getting a facelift without surgery.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate, or temporary,means that you will never be without teeth. Dr. Kuhn will provide a temporary option that are both comfortable and functional.
No-Metal Partial Dentures
Dr. Kuhn may suggest a partial denture when you have healthy natural teeth remaining. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, preventing adjacent teeth from changing position. There are various types of partials, and Dr. Kuhn uses will recommend the solution that best fits your needs.
Denture Stabilization with Mini Dental Implants (MDIs)
Dr. Kuhn use mini dental implants (MDIs) to stabilize dentures. This minimally invasive procedure can secure both partial and full’s, and helps to deter jawbone loss. Dr. Kuhn can also retrofit your existing denture for stabilization with MDIs.
All-on-4® New Teeth in One Day
In some cases, you can get teeth extracted, implants placed and a temporary set of teeth placed in the same day. This would be after all initial exams, X-rays and planning have been completed prior to the day of surgery. Once the dental implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, the final, permanent teeth will be placed.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dentures that are supported by dental implants provide the most lifelike, stable option for denture wearers. Dental implant posts replace the missing roots of teeth and provide the stimulation necessary to keep jawbone from melting away.
Making Your Dentures More Comfortable
Here are some of the ways we can improve your experience.
Relines and repairs
We do relines and repairs of dentures when needed. A reline involves resurfacing the interior portions of your denture so that it will fit snugly again.
Although you take good care, they may crack or break under certain conditions. We offer expedient services for repairing. Relines and repairs offer practical and economical alternatives to purchasing a new.
Surgical treatment to smooth supporting bone
Alveoplasty is a dental surgery used to smooth the jawbone. Dr. Kuhn conducts the alveoplasty procedure to smooth bumps in the jawbone or to taper the jaw’s ridge so that dentures fit more comfortably. It’s a precision surgery that requires a balance of maintaining bone weight and bone height. In certain instances, a bone graft may be necessary to smooth the bone and ensure enough height.
The surgery is provided in the comfort of our office, usually with a local anesthetic. We also offer the options of oral or IV sedation to ensure you are comfortable during treatment.
