Total Dental Care I've been told I need dentures. What are my alternatives? There's a successful technique called an "overdenture." It is made to be anchored to your natural roots that have been retained and prepared by your dentist. The overdenture then snaps in and snaps out no adhesive. You'll be able to chew, talk and smile with comfort and confidence. And with dental bone preserved, you'll see fewer facial changes that can cause premature wrinkles.
Check to see if this could be an option for you. David A Associates General Dentistry IMPLANT CENTER The Comfort Zone 1631 Avenue of the Cities, Moline, IL 309-764-1581 James Fuller James F.
