With dental implants that hold your dentures in your mouth, you no longer need to worry about a perfect fit or adhesive, and your dentures will last much longer. [Read more…]

Anytime dentures are portrayed in the movies, they are shown as clunky, unattractive fixtures worn by older grandparents who take their dentures out of their mouths at the most inappropriate times. Though such a representation is usually exaggerated, it originates from the real observation that traditional dentures don’t always stay firmly placed in the mouth or offer ease of use.
