Dentures

May 9, 2017

Let’s talk today about dentures. Dentures can have different meanings.Complete dentures are when an entire arch of teeth is being replaced. A partial denture is where one or more teeth are being replaced, but there are still teeth in that arch to help support it.

Some of the issues with dentures are support, stability, and retention. Support refers to the gums, bone, and teeth (if a partial denture) that hold the denture in place. Stability is the ability of the denture to stay in place and retention is how well the denture stays in place. We create dentures that address all three of these concerns to minimize any issues you will have after we place the denture.

One of the frequent concerns we hear is that with dentures, the person complains that they look ‘old’. Most people have some loss of support leading to this look. We create our dentures to rebuild the facial support, the cheeks and the lips to minimize this look. We work with you to create the look deserve. Just because you have dentures doesn’t mean you need to look like you have them!

Please feel free to contact our office with any questions or to schedule a consult to see what we can do for you. Call Bettina at 978-401-9081 or email Dr. McDowell directly at: [email protected] and visit our website: www.brianmcdowelldds.com

Where can I Begin… Dr.B has been an absolute blessing in my life. I suffer with severe TMJD issues ranging from lock jaw, terrible compressed jaw joints, popping and clicking of the joints, headaches, facial and neck pain etc etc. He is an LVI trained Dentist who incorporates the LVI principles in his treatment plans for his patients suffering with this debilitating condition. I was being seen by another LVI Dentist who was not following protocol where the relationship between us had to part ways. In the process of all the stress, time spent and thousands lost, I found Dr. B… Im so grateful that I did.. He assured me that he would provide me with TOP TIER level of care after all I had been through with the previous dentist and I can honestly say, he has done just that to date.. Dr. B has amazing bed side manner, very down to earth and easy to talk to.. Something that is missing in the medical field today. This was an ADDED BONUS… I am about 95% better and soon I’ll be 100% because of him and his Team. I can’t leave out the amazing woman in his practice also MaryLisa, Gabby & Christine. You girls Rock!!! Thank you for being so caring & understanding. I know I’m in GOOD HANDS! Thank you!!!!!!
