Dentures
One in four people over the age of 65 have lost all of their teeth, and millions of Americans have problems with dentures. Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Schlossberg, and Dr. Klotz designs natural looking dentures that fit comfortably. If you’re a first-time denture wearer, or if you've had your dentures for a long time, you'll be surprised to see what modern dental technology has to offer.
Today, we craft dentures from acrylic resins and porcelain. For the base, we blend acrylic resin to match your gum color. The teeth are made from durable porcelain that reflects light like natural tooth enamel. With digital imaging, Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Schlossberg, and Dr. Klotz can map your mouth and determine the optimal position for your dentures. A denture crafted by a skilled dentist won't require adhesive to be firmly held in place.
For optimal support and comfort, we offer implant-supported dentures. Dental implants permanently hold dentures in place, so you can eat, smile, and speak without worrying about your teeth. Adequate bone density and good health are required before a patient can receive dental implants. Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Schlossberg, and Dr. Klotz will carefully examine your oral tissues and talk with you about your situation, then he will counsel you on which replacement teeth option is right for you.
