As you read this book, you will become equipped with the knowledge to make life-changing decisions about failing or missing teeth, or about loose dentures. You will feel hope. First, let me tell you a story. A few years ago, a concerned daughter asked if I would look at her aging mother and see if there was anything I could do with her mother’s loose dentures. Her mother wasn’t eating and her daughter was worried. Her mother had lost her teeth one by one over the years. After each tooth had been lost, a new partial denture had been made. Finally, all her teeth had been lost, and she was given full dentures. That was over 20 years ago. Every new set of dentures felt looser and more uncomfortable than the previous set. The bone had shrunk dramatically after the teeth had been lost. Her dentures were simply balancing on her jaws, pressing directly onto the nerves that lie just under the gums. She had to bite very gently or she experienced pain. As this lady tried to talk to me at the consultation, she struggled so much to control her loose dentures. She told me that she could not bite or chew. She was only able to drink blended foods, which she hated, and she was taking multiple medications for indigestion. She was struggling to maintain a well-balanced diet and the nutrition she needed. Month by month, year by year, she had been weakening.Imagine there is a breakthrough treatment that could replace missing and failing teeth with something so similar to your natural teeth that you could bite and chew anything you want to. Imagine being able to live and laugh freely without worry? Would you be interested? Well, this lady certainly was. It is time for a second chance of having healthy teeth. Imagine the possibilities.
