A toothless smile not only affects a person's confidence, it can affect the ability to chew, talk and cause facial sagging. Dentures are artificial enhancements for people who no longer have teeth or are missing several teeth. Traditional dentures are removable and require several sessions to complete. Each denture is crafted to fit the individual, whether that means a full set of pearly whites or a small overdenture, which is a retainer-like denture that fits over existing teeth or implants.

"Everyone deserves specialized care," said Dr. Khazaie, Concord dentist. "Many exceptional dentists offer dentures in Concord, but I have advanced training in restorative dentistry. I am confident that patients will be happy with the quality of their dentures."

Although traditional dentures are removable and make it difficult to eat certain foods, they also remain the most cost effective way to replace missing teeth. Additionally, advances in dentistry have made the appearance of dentures more realistic than ever. Patients can choose from different materials, such as plastic or polymer.

For patients interested in a more secure solution, Dr. Khazaie also offers implant-supported dentures. These dentures do not rest on existing teeth or gums. Instead, they clip onto implants that are fixed to the jaw bone using a metal frame. They are removable but require two additional procedures. In some cases, permanent crown work or bridges may be used. Implant-supported dentures and permanent artificial teeth feel more natural during regular activities, such as eating or talking. However, not all denture candidates are also candidates implants. Implant-supported dentures require proper bone density and a strong immune system.
