Dental Implant Dentures
Smile of the Month
February 2021
Like many patients his age, George needed dentures to help with his tooth loss, but his daily experience left a lot to be desired. Truthfully, George hated wearing his lower denture because it wouldn’t stay in place and “flopped” around, so he couldn’t eat what he wanted or even enjoy the food that he managed to chew. Plus, he just didn’t like how his upper denture looked. Knowing that he deserved better, he eventually found himself in Dr. Mohr’s office.
George needed a multifaceted solution, one that would both look great and allow him to eat comfortably, so Dr. Mohr recommended dental implant dentures. Unlike regular dentures, which sit on top of the gums, implant dentures are anchored to the jawbone using multiple titanium “roots,” giving them the stability of real teeth. In other words, George wouldn’t have to worry about them “flopping” around. To place the implants, Dr. Mohr referred George to one of his “dream team” of specialists in the area, ensuring that the process was as seamless as possible. Once the implants were ready, Dr. Mohr, being a highly-trained and meticulous cosmetic dentist, designed dentures to go on top of them to give George an attractive smile that perfectly suited his face and preferences.
Ultimately, George ended up getting just four dental implants, and the results really do speak for themselves. He was able to finally eat steak again and enjoy every single bite. George also said he really liked working with Dr. Mohr throughout the treatment process, “Dr. Mohr was very professional and very informative taking his time to explain all my options. I wish I met him sooner with my dental case.” These days, whenever he sits down for a meal or greets a loved one, the last thing on his mind is his teeth.
