How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Provo If you are one of the many denture wearers in Provo, Orem, or Utah County, you know that they are not the ideal solution for missing teeth.

Problems with dentures include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, bone loss, and inability to taste food due to a covered palate. Clearly, dentures do not feel and function like natural teeth.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help you avoid the need for dentures later in your life, but other factors can make dental replacements an inevitability.

The good news? Modern dental implant technology is making dentures a thing of the past.

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry we have information and expertise that can help bring hope to denture wearers through dental implant technology. There are a variety of effective denture/implant tooth configurations.

Call Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 801-374-0070 to book an implant overdenture consultation with Dr. Chris Hammond. We can help you understand your options and can recommend options.

If you currently wear traditional dentures and are not happy with them, implant anchored dentures may dramatically change your life. Your chewing ability will be similar to that of natural teeth and you will be able to eat hard foods again. How about a thick T-bone at your favorite Provo steakhouse? In addition to being able to enjoy your meal, you will avoid the embarrassment of having your dentures rattle around in your mouth in public.

Before you pay for another denture reline, ask your Provo dentist about the possibility of dental implants. While tooth implants are a significant investment, the dental implant cost is very reasonable when you consider they can last a lifetime.

Attention Provo denture wearers: there is life after dentures with tooth implants!

Come see us at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo, 84604 for more information about dental implants.

Live Better With Dental Implants in Utah County

Provo Implant Dentistry Ill-fitting dentures cause more problems for denture wearers than they solve. If you live with loose dentures, you probably regard them as a necessary evil. Though they certainly look better than a toothless mouth, in practical terms they leave much to be desired because they affect two essential activities: eating and talking.

Unfortunately, many frustrated Provo, Orem, and Utah County denture wearers have quit dining in restaurants or engaging in social activities because they are afraid their dentures will slip.

Dental implant procedures at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo are allowing former denture patients to re-engage in life.

Consider the advantages of implant anchored dentures:

  • They are stable because the implant is anchored in the bone.
  • Your denture is fixed, it will not move around in your mouth.
  • They prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are removed.
  • They eliminate the necessity of regular denture relines.
  • They do not irritate gums.
  • No denture adhesive is required.

Our dental implant clients in Utah County, Provo, and Orem who have replaced their traditional dentures with implant overdentures enthusiastically say that the dental implant cost was more than worth it.

Do you want to eat normally again? What is the value of maintaining your facial shape? Can you put a price on confidence?

If you want more information about dental implants, call 801-374-0070 to schedule an implant tooth consultation with Dr. Chris Hammond. Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry is located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo. We have been providing advanced dental care in for the Provo, Orem, and Utah County area since 1996.

Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry on Jaw Bone Deterioration

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants

Provo Jaw Bone Deterioration To remain dense, your jaw bone requires the continual stimulation and pressure of chewing, biting and talking. Each of your teeth has a root structure attached to the surrounding bone material. As each tooth absorbs the forces of everyday mouth function, it stimulates the bone to which the root is attached.

When a tooth is extracted, the jaw bone that previously surrounded the root structure begins to recede. Though tooth extraction is often the only possible treatment for our Provo patients with tooth damage beyond repair, every effort should be made to preserve the root structure.

Fortunately, tooth implants provide a new root which keeps the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant consists of a titanium post which is placed in the jaw bone. It replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone. After the implant has been placed and the surrounding bone has healed and meshed with the implant, a post is inserted into the implant. The new artificial tooth, or crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.

To learn more about dental implants, call Dr. Chris Hammond at 801-374-0070. The friendly professionals at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo provide world-class dental treatment for patients in Orem and the surrounding areas.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Provo

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Provo If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:

Cost
In the long run, It is less expensive to do it all at once. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Orem residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at 801-374-0070 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Provo dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many Provo and Orem cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

Restoring Smiles at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo

Restoring Smiles at Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Orem smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Provo and Orem dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our Utah County cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.

Put your best face forward with a brand new smile!

Provo Cosmetic Dental Artistry

Provo Cosmetic Dental Artistry Provo cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art.

We are Dr. Chris Hammond of Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry and enjoy using our extensive dental training and specialized artistic skills to design treatment plans unique to each of our Provo cosmetic dental clients.

In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, we do much more than recommend specific procedures. We consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. In order to create a balanced look, the facial shape and coloring is taken into account. The Orem dentistry client’s age, health condition and lifestyle all influence the plan.

At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry, there is no one size fits all treatment plan.

Our artistic abilities have been perfected over several years of creating smile transformations for our Provo and Orem cosmetic dentistry clients. We are constantly receiving the latest training in new techniques and materials.

Even fairly recent cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers have advanced considerably. Dental implants are a truly remarkable solution for our Utah dental clients who have lost one or more teeth.

We would love to design a personalized smile makeover for you. When the work has been completed and you are enjoying your new look, it will only be obvious to those who see you all the time. Others will assume you have always been blessed with a naturally beautiful and healthy smile.
