Bringing Ridgewood Smiles Back to Life With Beautiful Dentures
Full or partial dentures are often offered as a solution, but the wrong dentures can be almost as bad as not having teeth! Traditional dentures are often fitted with teeth that do not take into consideration the proper alignment of your jaw and the teeth are also often too short. This has a negative effect both on appearance and function, leading to embarrassment and pain – the same chronic pain experienced by TMJ sufferers. They can also slip and come loose, irritate your gums and contribute to jawbone loss as well. It is a real problem – over two million people have to deal with missing teeth everyday.
There is hope! Dr. Michel Mouravieff offers Ridgewood patients the comfort and beauty of cosmetically designed and beautifully fitted dentures.
How Are Dr. Mouravieff's Dentures Different?
The dentures offered by Dr.Mouravieff are custom-created tooth by tooth and designed to protect the wearer from slippage, abrasion and TMJ pain. Each tooth is so beautiful and natural, no one will know they are not your own teeth. Patients are amazed at how well these dentures fit, allowing them to eat, laugh and speak with complete confidence.
Implant Supported Dentures and Implants
For even greater comfort and security, Dr. Mouravieff offers implant-supported dentures. These dentures are created to look just as beautiful and natural as his cosmetic dentures. But instead of sitting directly on the gums, these dentures are attached to an implant post.
We start by surgically placing titanium posts into the jaw. These posts actually fuse with the bone creating the equivalent of strong and secure tooth roots. Once the posts have healed into place, you can snap your denture to the posts with no need for adhesives, offering the freedom and appearance of natural teeth.
If you are only missing a few teeth, dental implants may be the solution of choice. Implants consist of both Titanium posts and beautiful, natural looking implant crowns to replace the entire tooth. They are an amazing solution for replacing one – or all – of your lost teeth!
