Loss of teeth and learning to wear dentures can be a very difficult process for patients.  Loss of taste, learning to chew again, and simply living with conventional dentures is a challenge.

Technological advances in dental implant therapy now can give you a second chance to be able to chew, function, and taste without loose dentures.  The denture on the upper jaw can be made without the roof of your mouth being covered.  This helps you enjoy the taste and texture of food like you used to!  The lower denture is literally locked into position giving the feel of real teeth.  Imagine chewing again without your denture moving, and no more sore spots!

In summary, locked in dentures, also known as “All on 4” dentures, is the best way to go from loose or bulky dentures to ones that are literally locked into place with no denture glue necessary.  A consultation to see if you are a candidate is your next step.  Having the ability to enjoy your food and not be embarrassed by your dentures is like a new lease on life.

My 35 year career in dentistry has constantly been a search for the MOST comfortable ways to have dental procedures.

Here are some of the MOST important:

1. First of all, prepare yourself, as the patient, to be as relaxed as possible. Do the following:
   • A. Wear comfortable clothing
   • No caffeine intake 6 hours prior the appointment. This helps tremendously with the efficiency of any numbing medications you may need.
   • Bring an iPod or personal music player with relaxing music with headphones for use during your appointment.
2. Be aware of the various ways you can have your dentistry done to be the most comfortable. It is important that the dentist be trained, experienced and most of all qualified by the dental board to administer the various ways to be comfortable.
   • Use of the local numbing agent only
   • Use of the local numbing agent and the relaxation gas, called nitrous oxide/oxygen
   • Use of the local numbing agent, relaxation gas and sedation medications. The sedation medications are given at lowest, most efficient dose to give a comfortable effect. Many patients describe it as a “great nap during my dental appointment”
