People grow only one set of permanent teeth. It is important that you take good care of your adult teeth because they don’t grow back once lost. Unfortunately, you can lose them in a variety of ways: old age, gum disease, dental trauma from physical impacts to the mouth, etc. If you have missing teeth, then chances are you are experiencing difficulties performing oral functions such as eating and talking. Fortunately, losing all of your teeth is not the end of the road. Dr. Pasha Hakimzadeh can help restore the quality of your life by replacing your lost teeth with implant dentures.
Restore Oral Functions with Implant Restorations
Missing teeth can hinder your mouth’s functions, such as eating, talking, or smiling.

- A person’s smile is a reflection of his mood and confidence. People with missing teeth tend to be shy in showing their smiles, which in turn affects their self confidence.
If you’ve lost all of your teeth on one or both of your dental ridges, then Dr. Hakimzadeh can replace your missing teeth through implant dentures.

If there is enough bone beneath the gums of your missing teeth, then implant posts can be strategically placed along the gums to support your prosthetic denture.
Natural Feeling Teeth with Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are made with an acrylic base that looks like your natural gum tissues. The man-made teeth are crafted from porcelain, a material that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. Semi-translucent porcelain is tinted to match your natural tooth color, and layered to reflect light in the same way as your teeth’s enamel.
Implant Dentures VS Traditional Dentures

It would be embarrassing for your teeth to fall off at a banquet toast or a buffet line. Implant dentures use titanium posts that act as anchors for your dentures. Titanium is a bio-compatible metal that promotes osseointegration—the process by which your jawbone fuses to the dental implants. Implant dentures are firmly secured so you can eat, talk, and .
