\"\"IT\u2019S NO LONGER LIKE THE OLD DAYS <\/strong>when it comes to denture technology, materials and fit. If your parents or grandparents had dentures, chances are they had a much different experience than what yours would be.<\/em><\/strong><\/span> First of all, some people think that dentures, or partial dentures, are only for \u201cold people\u201d. False.<\/strong> While Dr. Lynch<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a><\/strong> does everything possible to save existing teeth, sometimes dentures are the best alternative\u2014regardless of your age.<\/strong><\/em> You may be recommended full dentures if you\u2019ve lost\u2014or are in danger of losing\u2014all <\/strong>of your teeth. However, if you only have some<\/em><\/strong> missing teeth with otherwise healthy teeth and gums, then partial dentures may be recommended. That way, we can utilize those healthy teeth for better support.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

Dentures can make a huge difference in everyday life.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Dentures<\/a> can help you eat normally and speak more clearly.<\/em><\/strong> One of the great things about today\u2019s modern dentures is that they look and feel like natural teeth, and are made of the finest, modern dental materials. <\/a>Dr. Lynch<\/a><\/a> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>spends an equal amount of time determining the proper fit and function<\/strong> and making them look natural. Each tooth is individually designed, positioned, and color matched for a \u201crealistic\u201d look<\/strong> that\u2019s nearly always <\/span>mistaken for one\u2019s natural teeth. <\/p>\n

\"\"A little trivia…<\/span><\/h3>\n

Despite what people commonly think, George Washington\u2019s <\/strong>different sets of dentures were NOT<\/strong> made of wood. Materials at that time included hippopotamus ivory, gold pivots, springs, other people\u2019s human teeth, cow\u2019s teeth, and rivets.<\/span> <\/p>\n

One more quick thought…<\/span><\/h3>\n

Here at Hudson Highlands Dentistry<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a>, we work with the very finest dental laboratories to fashion your dentures\u2014featuring premium, low-staining, long-lasting teeth with a strong, high-impact acrylic base.<\/strong> Don\u2019t be fooled by the concept of \u201cself-fitting\u201d dentures which are often offered with discounting pricing. Chances are you\u2019ll be very disappointed with them\u2014and if they hurt, you won\u2019t want wear them. They can also lead to other oral health problems because of their improper fit.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Speaking of improper fit… Do you mind if we have a little fun for a minute?<\/span><\/h3>\n
