Moving Beyond the Daily Limitations of Adhesives
Many of our patients come to us having settled into a routine that quietly restricts their daily lives, often choosing meals based on what their dentures allow them to chew rather than what they actually want to eat. You might have grown used to the constant worry that your teeth might slip during a conversation or shift at an inconvenient time, which creates a sense of hesitation in the moments that matter most.
Dr. Thode focuses on helping you move past these silent calculations and the daily frustration of adhesives so you can return to a life where you never have to give your smile a second thought. Our purpose is to provide you with the stability needed to live your life with total confidence.
All on X: The Blank Slate for Your New Smile
If you are seeking a solution that functions as close to your original teeth as possible, the All-on-X procedure offers a complete blank slate to recreate your smile. This approach gives you back the teeth you used to have or finally provides the beautiful smile you never had, allowing you to focus on the future potential of your health rather than the loss of the past.
- Fixed Security: These teeth are permanently attached to your implants and stay in your mouth around the clock, allowing you to use them just like natural teeth.
- Maximum Bite Force: Because these are fixed in place, you can enjoy steak, apples, and crunchy vegetables with the same confidence as someone with a full set of natural teeth.
- A Fully Customized Result: We use a multi step process with temporary teeth that allows us to refine the shape, size, and color of your smile until it perfectly matches your vision.
Implant-Retained Overdentures: Snap In Stability and Ease
For many of our patients, the primary goal is to stop the frustration of loose dentures without the higher investment required for a fixed bridge. Implant retained overdentures provide snap in stability where a few strategic implants allow your denture to securely click into place.
- No More Adhesives: The mechanical connection between the implants and the denture means you can finally throw away the messy glues and pastes for good.
- Significant Chewing Improvement: While a traditional loose denture often only provides a three or four in bite force, snapping that denture onto implants elevates that power to a seven, making a world of difference at the dinner table.
- Advantageous Hygiene: Because these dentures are still removable, they are an excellent choice for patients who want the simplest way to keep their implants and gums clean and healthy.
- Accessible Investment: This provides a life changing lifestyle upgrade at a price point that is more affordable for many seniors and families.
Find the Freedom That Works for You
We want you to have the clear information you need to make a confident decision about your oral health. While traditional dentures focus on basic replacement, implant-supported solutions are designed to restore the actual function you may have lost over the years. Use the guide below to see how different treatments impact everything from the taste of your food to your morning routine.
We Are With You Every Step of the Way
The process is a journey that we walk through together to ensure the end result is a restoration that feels like a genuine part of who you are.
- On the Day of Procedure: Our goal is for you to walk out with a functional set of temporary teeth so you are never without your smile while your implants heal.
- The Healing Phase: Over the next six weeks, you will enjoy a soft diet while your implants integrate with your bone to create a strong and permanent foundation.
- Customization and Refinement: Around the three month mark, after we have worked closely with you to customize every detail of your appearance, we place your final, permanent teeth.
