For many patients, traditional dentures come with a daily struggle. Slipping, irritation, and difficulty eating or speaking with confidence are all common issues, especially if your dentures don’t have an absolutely perfect fit. At Mount Airy Family Dentistry, we understand how deeply these issues can affect your comfort, health, and quality of life.
That’s why Dr. Laura Mercer offers implant-retained dentures, a secure and natural-feeling solution tailored to restore both function and peace of mind. As a hometown dentist serving Mount Airy with compassionate, personalized care, Dr. Mercer is committed to helping you rediscover the joy of a stable, confident smile.
Implant-retained dentures are a modern, long-lasting upgrade from traditional removable dentures. Instead of simply resting on your gums, these dentures are anchored to small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone.
Once they heal and permanently bond with your jawbone, these implants act like tooth roots. They offer superior stability and comfort, without slipping, clicking, or the need for messy adhesives. Here’s what makes implant-retained dentures such a reliable option:
If you’re tired of dealing with loose dentures or are missing most or all of your teeth, you may be a good candidate for implant-retained dentures. The treatment is ideal for adults in relatively good health who want a more natural and dependable solution for tooth replacement.
