I have been a patient of this practice since the early 70's. Not one person from the original staff is there any longer. However, I am still a loyal patient and will continue to be as long as I am able to drive and park downtown! My visit this time was with Paula and I thought she was excellent and made me feel very relaxed. I will continue to see Paula and also kudos to Dr. Mead. Cannot ask for a better dentist or hygienist! Also, a shout out to the front desk, the gal who handles the billing, and the dental assistant that helped Paula. This practice was and is the best!!

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are durable dental prostheses used to restore the function and appearance of your smile after the loss of multiple teeth. Our dentists are highly trained in this field and can combine dentures with dental implants to create stable, beautiful restorations. We also use a high-tech CBCT scanner for the most precise and accurate treatment planning. This type of restoration has numerous benefits over traditional dentures.
Benefits of Treatment
One of the biggest benefits of getting implant supported dentures is the improved aesthetic appearance of your smile, but as important, if not more, is the preservation of your oral and systemic health. When teeth are missing and left untreated for too long, the jawbone will begin to deteriorate, decreasing the support of your lips and cheeks causing you to appear older than you are. Other benefits you will enjoy following your implant supported dentures procedure include:
- Improves your ability to chew foods, which results in better digestion
- Easier to clean and requires less maintenance
- Significantly more comfortable
- Decreases likelihood of gum infection and mouth sores
- Improves your ability to talk and will not move around or fall out like dentures
- Permanent solution, provided you follow good oral hygiene habits
