Our patient presented stating that she had traditional dentures fabricated two years ago and could not wear them because they were uncomfortable. Her traditional denture moved while chewing and speaking. This caused her terrible frustration and embarrassment.
Dr. Leonard discussed all implant-supported options available in dentistry and this patient decided to have two dental implants placed in the lower jaw to hold a new set of teeth called an overdenture. This over-denture is comfortably removed as the patient elects but stays in place when eating and speaking.
Today she states that she can enjoy her food and know her new teeth do not move. This provides confidence that had been lost. Our patient believes this was a very worthwhile investment.
