Creating a PERMANENT SMILE

Dr. RoseAnn Giannella, DDS, sees many patients who are deeply ashamed of their teeth. “They’ll put their hands in front of their mouths when they smile. It absolutely affects their selfesteem,” she said.

For an increasing number of middle-aged-tosenior patients who have “hopeless” teeth, Dr. Giannella recommends “implant-supported dentures,” also known as permanent dentures. This type of denture, instead of resting unsecured on the gums, is attached to implants in the jaw. It can be taken in and out for cleaning, and provides the look of a healthy, complete set of teeth.

After the initial consultation and examination, “Patients come in and have an interim denture or dentures fitted, while their permanent dentures are being created,” Dr. Giannella said. Though in most cases all existing teeth are being replaced, partial replacements are also possible.

“Afterwards, people don’t worry about pain—and they can eat whatever they want,” she said. Also, since overall health is closely connected to dental health, they may well benefit in multiple other ways.

In-office aftercare includes a yearly return visit, during which the dentures will be removed and given a complete cleaning before being replaced in the mouth. The procedure has become so popular that “dentures in a day” clinics are widely advertised, but the security and comfort of Dr. Giannella’s office eases the fears many people may have about the procedure.

Dr. Giannella also provides all general dentistry services, as well as cosmetic services, including whitening, porcelain veneers, esthetic bonding, and Invisalign.
