(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 05, 2011 ) Sterling Heights, Michigan – Many patients seem to have misconceptions about dentures. The common assumption is that with getting older one will need dentures. There is one dental office in Sterling Heights, Michigan that wants to put the message straight and to illustrate to new patients the facts about dentures and all the different treatment options there are. Dr. Linda Kizy, of Sterling Dental, has put together an outline for consumer awareness.
“Many patients who claim to have soft teeth, and assume dentures are inevitable. This is a complete misconception. With proper brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups the chances of needing dentures decreases, no matter what the age, and the quality of life greatly increases.” said Dr. Kizy. A major contributing factor to dental problems centers on periodontal disease. This is the destruction of bone and gum tissue that surround the teeth due to bacterial plaque and other contributing factors. Periodontal disease is the number one reason why people experience tooth loss and end up in dentures. In addition, the chronic inflammation with periodontal disease does not only affect teeth but can also affect the patient’s general health. Periodontal disease has been correlated with heart disease, strokes, uncontrolled diabetes and respiratory infections.
Sterling Dental has been a Metro Detroit family tradition for the past 13 years. They are a family owned dentistry that is dedicated to teaching proper dental care. The message here is good news for many aging Detroiters because the bottom line is positive. Dentures are not a replacement for teeth; they are an alternative to having no teeth. Dentures do not function like natural teeth do. Chewing, swallowing, taste and speech are only a few aspects that are affected when wearing dentures. However, for the millions of people who currently are suffering with dentures there are alternatives that are very affordable. Mini Implant supported dentures offer a more stable situation.
Mini-implants are FDA approved, are used as a fantastic way of long-term denture stabilization. Not only will the implants be placed in one appointment but they are immediately loaded which means that the patient can eat with stabilized dentures that same day. The procedure only takes around 90 minutes and is generally painless with minimal post-operative pain. Mini implants may many times be retrofitted to your existing denture. Not only will the patient be able to bite into things like apples and corn on the cob, but also will be able to eliminate the need for denture adhesives.
