You see your family, and you are so proud of them.<br \/>\nSomeone calls you over. She wants to get a photo with you and everyone in your family.<br \/>\nNot long ago, a request would have made you nervous, but not today \u2014 not anymore.<br \/>\nYou went the office of George A. Hoop, DDS, and you got Fountain of Youth\u2122 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a>. Your new \u201cteeth\u201d look natural. They fit comfortably, and you can eat pretty well, too.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWould you like to feel that way about your replacement teeth? If so, call us at (239) 594-8817 to schedule an appointment at either of our locations. We have offices in Fort Myers and North Naples, FL.<br \/>\nThis could be the start of a beautiful new smile!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Right Fit Makes a HUGE Difference<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard the stories about slippery dentures. Heck, you may have even experienced them for yourself.<br \/>\nLoose dentures make it hard to eat. Loose dentures can make it difficult to speak sometimes, too. And having your dentures fall out in front of someone else can be awkward for both of you.<br \/>\nTo avoid this, you want dentures that are custom-designed for your mouth. This is why we use \u201cdynamic impressions\u201d when making dentures. This takes into account how your facial muscles move as you open and close your mouth.<br \/>\nThat means your dentures won\u2019t just feel fine when your mouth is closed. They are much more likely to stay in place when you actually need them to as well.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Taking Care of Your Dentures is Important, Too<\/h2>\n<p>To get the most out of your dentures, it\u2019s important to care for them like you should. Here are few tips that will help you get the most out of your dentures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After you eat, remove your dentures and rinse them to remove any food debris.<\/li>\n<li>Clean your mouth as well after removing your dentures.<\/li>\n<li>Brush your dentures every day. This is important both for the sake of your dentures and for your oral health.<\/li>\n<li>Soak your dentures overnight with an appropriate solution.<\/li>\n<li>Again, rinse your dentures in the morning before putting them back in your mouth.<\/li>\n<li>Handle your dentures careful. Avoid bending or dropping them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You also must continue to make dental appointments. Some people think that having fake teeth means they no longer need dental care. That\u2019s not true. You can still develop gum disease, which can have a big impact on how your dentures feel.<br \/>\nLikewise, you should let us know when you notice changes in how your dentures fit. With traditional dentures, it will be necessary to have them relined from time to time to maintain their fit.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Add Some Security<\/h2>\n<p>With any dentures that rest over your gums, you will experience bone loss in your jaw. Without the roots of your teeth to stimulate new bone growth, your jaw will get smaller. Over time, this will affect the way your dentures fit and feel.<br \/>\nThis is why you need to have dentures relined.<br \/>\nA great way to avoid those issues is to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>.<br \/>\nImplants were developed to replace the roots of missing teeth. Implants are placed directly in your jaw. They can be used to anchor your dentures in place, thus creating a direct connection between your dentures and your jawbone.<br \/>\nThat connection allows you to put more force behind each bite and chew. That pressure is what stimulates the bone growth necessary to prevent bone loss.<br \/>\nThat also means you won\u2019t need to replace your denture nearly as often, if at all. With implant- or mini implant-supported dentures, you can have the smile of your dreams and still eat all the foods that you love to eat.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Call Us for Better Dentures<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t settle for slippery, loose-fitting dentures.
