All-On-X Implant Supported Dentures in Southern Maine

Living with multiple lost teeth causes challenges in several ways. Eating and chewing can become difficult and even painful. Smiling, talking, and interacting with other people may cause you to feel self-conscious due to the gaps in your smile. Missing teeth also impact your dental health.

The good news is that implant-supported dentures can restore the function and aesthetics you had before tooth loss, and Dr. Parent can help with all-on-x dental implants.

Unfortunately, when you lose a tooth, it often opens the door for more tooth loss. This is because when you lose a tooth, you also lose its root, causing your bone to deteriorate with nothing left to support. Bone loss can result in a lack of support for neighboring teeth, which can cause them to become compromised. 

If you don't replace a missing tooth, surrounding teeth will also move into the open space. Tooth movement can increase your risk of developing problems like gum disease, tooth decay, and fractures. 

Restoring your smile also boosts your self-esteem and confidence, which can improve your interactions with other people.

If you've been living with multiple missing or compromised teeth or an ill-fitting denture, implant-supported dentures may be an ideal solution. Booking an evaluation with Dr. Parent is the first step in determining the right treatment for your smile and dental health.

During that appointment, Dr. Parent will take photos, x-rays, and 3-D images of your teeth and jawbone to determine your treatment needs. He'll work with you to craft the best treatment scenario to achieve your goals and desires for your smile and dental health.
