Doctor Elizabeth Kilpatrick Fox on Dentures
Speaker 1: Dentures are … they’ve been around forever. And people who are missing all their teeth or need to get rid of all their teeth because of cavities or gum disease, dentures are a good way to restore them and, you know, on a reasonable amount of time. They can be made now, digitally, so that the fits are better than they were in the past. And they can give you back your smile and your support and you can chew. And if you want to, they can also be secured with some mini implants in some cases, in the lower, makes them even more secure. And then obviously if you didn’t want dentures anymore, then we could help you get teeth that don’t come in and out of your mouth with the help of dental implants, which act like your own teeth or the roots of your own teeth. You put the teeth on top of those. So there’s several different ways to manage some missing teeth or all missing teeth.
