IT\u2019S NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS <\/strong>when it comes to denture technology, materials and fit. If your parents or grandparents had dentures, chances are their experience was very different than what yours would be. The stereotypes and thoughts commonly associated with dentures have been changing.<\/p>\n

First of all, some people think that dentures, or partial dentures, are only for \u201cold people\u201d. Not true.<\/strong> While Drs. Bradley and Boswell<\/a><\/strong>do everything possible to save existing teeth, sometimes dentures are the best alternative\u2014regardless of your age.<\/em> Our dentists may recommend full dentures if you\u2019ve lost\u2014or are in danger of losing\u2014allof your teeth. If you have some missing teeth, but other healthy teeth (and gums), then partial dentures can utilize those teethfor better support.<\/p>\n

Dentures can make a huge difference in everyday life.<\/h3>\n

Dentures help you eat more normally and speak more clearly.<\/em><\/strong> One of the great things about today\u2019s modern dentures is that they look and feel like natural teeth, and are made of the finest, modern dental materials. Our Lake Oconee dentists <\/a><\/strong>spend as much time determining proper fit and function<\/strong> as they do making them look natural. Each tooth is individually designed, positioned, and color matched for a \u201crealistic\u201d look<\/strong> that\u2019s nearly always mistaken for one\u2019s natural teeth.<\/p>\n

Here’s a little trivia…<\/h3>\n

Despite what people commonly think, George Washington\u2019s <\/strong>different sets of dentures were not<\/strong> made of wood. Materials at that time included hippopotamus ivory, gold pivots, springs, other people\u2019s human teeth, cow\u2019s teeth, and rivets.<\/p>\n

One more quick thought…<\/h3>\n

We work with the very finest dental laboratories to fashion your dentures\u2014featuring premium, low-staining, long-lasting teeth with a strong, high-impact acrylic base.<\/strong> There are companies that often sell dentures that are \u201cself-fitting,\u201d often offered with discounting pricing. Not only can these types of dentures lead to other oral health problems because of improper fit, if they hurt or are uncomfortable you won\u2019t want wear them.<\/p>\n

Speaking of improper fit… Do you mind if we have a little fun for a minute?<\/h3>\n
