Full denture wearers can now have permanent smiles
by Tarvo Puust DD, Innisfil Denture Clinic

Do you make restaurant menu selections based on what you can eat instead of what you'd like to eat? How would you like to chew foods that you never dreamed possible with full dentures, such as thick juicy steaks, fresh salads and corn on the cob? What if you could have permanent teeth in just one day so that you can enjoy these foods again? By simply enjoying a greater variety of foods, you can begin to improve the state of your health and well-being. This can be achieved on the very first day after experiencing the new "All-on-4" permanent "teeth-in-a-day" procedure.

These extremely happy patients who have undergone this procedure asked us to write an article to inform the public about this wonderful life-changing experience they had. Nick felt so good immediately after surgery that he was singing in the backseat of the car with his grandson all the way home with his new permanent teeth. His wife was so impressed with the appearance that she said "he looks just like the day she married him". Another patient of ours had shrimp and salad for dinner after her 1pm surgery. And all have experienced this summer's fresh corn-on-the-cob for a change. There are so many of you out there who have always wanted an alternative solution to wearing full dentures. Many denture wearers are familiar with dental implants but are turned off by long healing times, perceived pain and unpredictable results. This new "permanent teethin a-day" procedure is unlike any other implant solution for full denture wearers, with minimal discomfort and a close to 100% success rate!

The first step is to have dentures made that reflect the smile you would like to have. Nick brought in a photo of himself from before he lost his teeth, which we then matched for him. Once we have the look we want, the dentures become fixed into place. Dr. Steven Bongard, from the Chrysalis Dental Centre, uses CT scans to better plan the placement of four implants using guided surgery in a manor that finds the best and strongest bone. While the surgery is being performed your existing denture will be converted to a much smaller size, but not to worry, the arrangement of the teeth will remain the same.

Upper denture wearers will regain the ability to taste food properly again. Your lower denture will no longer be floating around while you are trying to eat. You will be less likely to over-salt your food, as your taste sensations will be heightened by all the surfaces of your mouth that are now experiencing your meal. Immediately after surgery you will have teeth that are fixed into place and ready for you to eat most anything your heart desires. Nick came in for a check-up the other day and told us of the _ inch steaks and pork chops he's been able to eat with no trouble. His digestive system is much happier now that he can chew his food into smaller pieces.

One of our younger patients felt very insecure about taking her teeth out at night and having her spouse see her without her teeth. But now, she can brush her teeth in her mouth and has no fear of them jumping out unexpectedly. She was all smiles when she came in the day after her "teeth-in-a-day" procedure.
