We believe that excellent oral health has a significant impact on our patients’ lives and provide services to help our patients maintain or improve their oral health.
Oral health is a key part of overall well-being and physical health.
Keeping the mouth free of harmful bacteria, infection and inflammation helps to prevent the entry and spread of germs or illness. Having strong, healthy teeth, gums and proper bite are also critical to a beautiful and healthy smile. For patients who have already experienced tooth loss, dentures can help repair and maintain oral and overall health by replacing natural teeth and minimizing bone loss.
According to studies, edentulism (tooth loss) can have negative
