7 Ways That Permanent Dentures Improve Your Life

You may think that All-on-4 types of dentures are just the new excitement and they will be out with the old when a newer technology comes along, but these fixed dentures can improve not only the health of your mouth, but can improve your overall self-confidence as well. Here are 7 ways that Dr. Judy Strutz and her team say that fixed dentures can improve your smile.

1.     You do not remove fixed dentures at home each evening. The only time the fixed denture will be removed, is by your dentist during your routine visits.

2.     They are made to fit your mouth and they do not move around when you eat, smile, speak or nod.

3.     Once they are placed in your mouth, you do not have to worry about adhesive, losing them, cleaning them in solution, or about the dog eating them.

4.     You are able to consume foods you may have not been able to eat for a while, including harder foods such as apples and steak.

5.     Smiling is easier and more natural looking because the dentures are made to fit your mouth. The teeth are not too big or too small, and in fact, your denture can be made to look similar to your natural teeth if you’d like.

6.     They look similar to natural teeth, therefore brushing and flossing them, will help keep them looking healthy.

7.     They do not stain like natural teeth. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the morning because your fixed dentures are protected.

8.

Laser Advancements Improve Dental Surgery For Your Child

 

Dental technology has come a long way over the last ten to fifteen years. One of these technological advances that have your family’s best interests at heart is the use of laser’s when completing dental surgery for your baby.   Dr. Judy Strutz is now providing laser surgery for your child’s frenum or tongue-tie problems. Some dentists and doctors may suggest you wait for this critical surgery, however, with the latest advancements in technology there is no reason to wait and many reasons to proceed early after birth.

Laser frenectomy procedures are a short and easy process that will enable your child to nurse correctly. Once Dr. Judy Strutz is able to meet with you and your baby for a preliminary screening she will be able to better provide you with the information you need to help make the decision whether to move forward or not. While a hundred years ago a midwife with a long nail would cut the extra skin in the mouth.  Now a laser has the ability to do the same thing with precision control of the outcome. Using a laser for this procedure allows for minimal pain and a quick recovery. Healing will begin right after the surgery and most children may breastfeed immediately. They will only need a short follow up to make sure everything is progressing as normal.
