Dentist in Aurora CO http://www.summerbrookdental.com (303) 693-1215 Dentist clinic with dentists performing general family dentistry and cosmetic dentistry with tooth whitening and invisalign. Hi, I'm Dr. Jim Craig with Summerbrook Dental Group, and one of the questions many people have wondered is, "If I'm tired of having so many tooth problems, can I just get them all pulled and get a denture and be done with it?" That seems like an easy solution, but there are some underlying concerns that you need to know about before you make that decision. For example, did you know that when you lose your teeth, the jaw bone that those teeth used to be anchored to, dissolves over time and shrinks back over time. There are important structures buried inside your jaw bone, like nerves, and over time, as your jaw bone dissolves, those nerves can become exposed and can become exceedingly painful. In addition, simply getting a denture is not the end of the dental problems. Did you know that dentures have to be relined? Sometimes every year. A denture reline can cost up to $500 per denture. Can you imagine spending $1000 every year, or every other year for the rest of your life relining a denture? Your tooth problems really aren't over just because you have them all pulled. In some cases, patients really do need to lose all of their teeth and have a denture made. In those cases, I always recommend that patients receive an implant inside the bone or multiple implants, preferably, inside the bone to help support that denture. Having an implant in the bone can keep you from losing jaw bone, it can stabilize the denture, and it really can make the procedure a little bit more tolerable. If you have any questions about dentures or implants or replacing missing teeth, I'll be happy to visit with you at a free consultation and exam at Summerbrook Dental Group.
