Frisco Dentist Gives Patients with Poor Fitting Dentures a New Option

Sept. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Dr. Ernest De Paoli, a family dentist in Frisco Texas and owner of Advanced Smiles, is getting the word out to the patients in Frisco about a new alternative to wearing dentures. An innovative procedure has been developed that permits placement of four dental implants and a fixed bridge in as little as one appointment. In its most extraordinary application, an entire mouthful of teeth may be replaced with implants and a non-removable set of new teeth in a single appointment. “Secure Bite” can change your life. Patients benefitting most from this revolutionary and highly sophisticated system are people with full dentures or with teeth so compromised that they have no other option other than one of the less-than-desirable choices below:

• Opt for removable dentures, which everyone hates aesthetically and that greatly reduce chewing function to only 10-20% of normal capacity.
• Get numerous implants inserted on each arch along with a fixed bridge. This option is very costly and requires numerous appointments, months of healing time, and sometimes bone and sinus grafting.
• Have a denture connected to two or four implants with attachments for additional stability and restoration. While less expensive, this choice isn’t ideal because your denture isn’t fixed and removed for cleaning. Studies show that patients with dentures connected to implants recover only 50-60% of their chewing function — better than that of dentures alone but still greatly impaired

“There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a patient who for years has not been able to eat comfortably or has not laughed for fear of his dentures popping out of his mouth be transformed to a confident healthy Secure Bite”, says Dr. De Paoli.
