Chewing with dentures? What can Implants do for you

Published by Brian Homann DDS

Do you know someone who has trouble eating or speaking due to missing teeth?  Do loose dentures cause discomfort when trying to eat firmer foods?

If so, an implant supported denture may be a great solution for you!

As an example. take a look at our friend below.

Our friend prior to getting his new teeth.

With only a few teeth remaining, he had difficulty chewing and speaking.  He loved steaks and meats, but for years was unable to enjoy what he really wanted.  When he came into our office, I explained to him that while dentures look great, eating meat is often very difficult because the bottom denture often rubs and causes discomfort.  However, we had a solution!  We decided to place 2 implants in his lower jaw.  This would allow his denture to snap into place, greatly reducing the mobility and discomfort of a lower denture.  A great guy deserves a great smile, and the first thing he did after getting his smile back was give his wife a big kiss!  After about a week with his denture, he told us that he was back to eating normal food and that all of his friends loved his new smile.

A new smile and unlimited possibilities of what to eat for dinner!

Most caring dental staff I’ve ever encountered. Every experience has been extremely professional, from just calling to ask a question to cleanings for my whole family and beyond.

Dr. Homann goes out of his way to make sure you understand each step of the process and are comfortable the whole way. Each member of their team genuinely cares about their patients, and knowing I will have the best care every time I walk in the door makes going to the dentist a whole lot easier. Thank you to all the kind and wonderful staff, you make all the difference.

Dr. Homan is the best dentist I've ever been to. Most of my co-workers go to Dr. Homan and that's how I heard about him.

I needed a lot of work on my teeth and I'm so glad I found such a great dentist. He explains everything to you and also is very upfront on all posibiltys that's can happen to the tooth he works on and also explains what you can expect after the dental work. He's also very friendly and everyone at the office makes you feel comfortable. Karen and Sandra in the front office are wonderful as well. They also have wonderful dental hygienist. My insurance is not in network with Dr. Homan but it's well worth the extra money to still go to the best!

Dr. Homann's practice is very clean and up to date. His practice also has televisions to watch when you are getting your teeth cleaned or any other work done which is awesome!

The chairs are very comfortable and the staff is very polite. Dr. Homann is also a very knowledgeable dentist with the ability to make every patient feel calm and comfortable no matter what the situation. He also has done volunteer work for the homeless donating his time and resources to help the less fortunate, if that doesn't let you know what kind of practice this is I don't know what will. I will definitely be coming back here again!
