Implant Supported Dentures: A Preferred Restorative Method for Replacing Missing Teeth

June 20, 2014

Shutterstock Senior Couple Hug SmileDentures have been a trusted solution to missing teeth for many, many years, allowing men and women to eat a healthful diet, speak clearly, and smile with friends and family comfortably. Today, modern dental technology makes it possible to secure dentures with more stability, promoting a more natural feel and appearance than ever before. At Smile Fitness Dental Centers in Glendale, AZ and Phoenix, AZ, our doctors offer a variety of restorative dentistry procedures, including dental implant supported dentures.

Benefits of Implant Retained Dentures

Traditional dentures can slip and move around in your mouth when you are speaking, often resulting in embarrassing social situations and discomfort. Some patients experience a clicking sound as their dentures wobble and slip. Fortunately, dentures can now be secured with dental implants, allowing denture wearers to feel more comfortable and confident in their smile and bite.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jaw bone and gum tissue. These implants serve as replacements for the roots of your natural teeth. When the implants have fused with the bone of your jaw and the gum tissue has healed, a set of customized dental prosthetics – such as a full set or one arch of dentures – can be attached. There is no longer any need for natural suction or denture adhesives because your prosthetic is firmly secured to your gums by the implants.

Athletic Mouthguards to Keep Little Smiles Safe this Summer

June 5, 2014

Shutterstock Mouth Guard Athletic BaseballSummer is finally here and the kids are out of school, ready to head out onto the court or playing field for some fun in the sun with friends and family. Oral injuries sustained while playing sports can be incredibly serious, but they don’t have to be if you’re protected with an athletic mouthguard from Smile Fitness in Glendale, AZ and Phoenix, AZ. Our experienced team of doctors can help you protect your kids’ smiles all summer long (and all year round) with customized athletic mouthguards.

The Importance of Wearing a Mouthguard

Whether your kids are into baseball, basketball, soccer, football, martial arts, or another recreational activity, you want them to be safe as they have fun. Oral injuries that may occur while participating in sports activities include chipped or fractured teeth, dislodged teeth, lacerations to the tongue, cuts in the gum tissue, and dislocated jaws. Fortunately, wearing an athletic mouthguard while playing sports can drastically reduce the likelihood that your child will experience these problems, putting your mind at ease when they go out to play.

Unlike the mouthguards you can buy at the store, the oral appliances provided by your dentist are customized to fit the unique contours of the patient’s mouth. This offers enhanced protection for the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth, as well as improved comfort.
