Many people have difficulties with their dentures being loose or even falling out, particularly a lower set. One solution to this problem is implant dentures.
Dentures Anchored by Implants
Special dentures can be made to fit over titanium implants that are surgically attached to the jawbone. This can be done either for lower or upper dentures. The implants protrude slightly above the gums and so are available to snap the dentures securely into place. This can make it so much easier to eat, talk and smile.
Implant dentures may be made removable or non-removable. This is a decision for you to discuss with Dr. Zipfel.
Dr. Zipfel Does the Whole Job
Implants are sometimes done by several medical professionals, including dentists, surgeons, periodontists, etc., with each doing only a part of the procedure.
Dr Zipfel, unlike many general dentists, performs the entire implant procedure, all the way from the implant surgery to the dentures, so there is no need for you to go to several practitioners. She uses the Nobel Biocare system and has successfully completed over two hundred implant procedures.
If you are thinking of getting implants that will hold your dentures securely, make an appointment with Dr. Zipfel for a free consultation. She will go over the procedure with you and make sure you are a good candidate for implants.
