Nancy came to our office after years of struggling with dentures that simply did not work for her lifestyle. She had been told by other providers that her fit could not be improved, but our Wilmington, NC dental practice was determined to provide a better solution for her health and confidence.
Solving The Frustration Of Ill-Fitting Dentures
We believe that every patient deserves a smile that feels as good as it looks. Nancy visited our office looking for relief from a problem many denture wearers face every day.
Her current dentures were causing constant pain and sore spots where the material rubbed against her sensitive tissue.
- Food frequently became trapped under the base of her dentures, making every meal a frustrating experience.
- The lack of facial support made her appear to be always frowning, leading her family to think she was upset when she was actually just uncomfortable.
- An overclosed bite was causing painful cracking in the corners of her mouth, a common issue when dentures do not properly support the jaw.
Our Detailed Process For Lasting Comfort
Our team uses advanced dental implant technology to ensure that your new smile is perfectly aligned with your unique facial structure. This process enabled us to address the root cause of Nancy’s discomfort and deliver a highly customized result.
Establishing The Ideal Bite Position
We started by evaluating Nancy’s current dentures and discussing her goals for her facial profile and smile esthetics. To find her most natural and relaxed jaw position, we used an ultra-low-frequency TENS unit to relax her jaw muscles and take precise measurements for her new Fountain of Youth Dentures.
Refining The Esthetics And Fit
Nancy was an active participant in the design of her new smile, ensuring she loved the final result. We used prototype dentures to let her evaluate her bite, tooth color, and overall appearance before the final set was created.
A Transformation That Goes Beyond The Smile
The results of this comprehensive approach were life-changing for Nancy and her family. She no longer has to worry about the physical or social limitations of her previous dental work.
- Her upper denture now fits securely, even without dental implants.
- Her lower denture finally snaps onto her existing implants, providing a level of stability she had not felt in years.
- She is now able to eat all the foods she had been avoiding for decades because she can finally chew without pain.
- The improved facial support from her new dentures has given her a more youthful appearance and corrected her facial profile.
