Implant-supported Dentures

Say goodbye to denture adhesives and poor fitting dentures with implant-supported dentures. Problems such as gum sores and difficulty chewing or speaking are alleviated with a denture kept firmly in place. Plus, by distributing your biting pressure more like natural teeth, implant-supported dentures provide important stimulation to the bones and tissue of your jaw. This prevents the deterioration of your teeth’s supportive structures for more lasting oral health. Ask Dr. Hutchison about how you can improve your form and function with implant-supported dentures.

Dentures

The most important aspect of effective dentures is a proper fit. Your dentures’ functionality depends on it, and an improper fit can lead to a host of painful problems, including gum sores, difficulty chewing or speaking, and long-term issues with your teeth’s supportive structures. Even more, dentures will keep you looking and feeling healthy and will help you retain a natural lifestyle. Choose dentures from Dr. Hutchison, and she will work to ensure a perfect fit for lasting, positive results.

Partial Dentures

In the event that a multi-tooth gap cannot be corrected with a bridge, consider partial dentures from Dr. Hutchison. With a comfortable, removable partial denture made from synthetic material and lightweight metal, your form and function will be restored and you will prevent the unwanted shifting of neighboring teeth. Best of all, you will retain a natural-looking smile.

Crowns Erase years of wear and tear, decay, and damage with a dental crown. Made from precious metals or from tooth-like porcelain, crowns can restore teeth with chips, cracks, and breaks or can fill gaps in your smile. Don’t let decayed or damaged teeth ruin your mouth’s appearance and function. Enjoy an effective solution with crowns from Dr. Hutchison.

Bridges

Losing a tooth doesn’t just leave an unattractive gap in your smile; it can lead to serious function problems in your bite. Without proper bite pressure where teeth are missing, others areas in your mouth will overcompensate, and neighboring teeth may shift into the open space. This can lead to poor function, discomfort, and even pain. Worst of all, these problems increase over time.

Don’t let a missing tooth ruin your mouth’s form and function. Fix these problems and prevent new ones with a bridge from Dr. Hutchison. After preparing the two neighboring teeth around the gap with two crowns, she will fuse a prosthetic between them and will place them in your mouth. Your bridge will literally “bridge the gap,” leaving you with a beautiful, functional smile with no discomfort.

TMJ

Do you ever suffer from headaches, a popping sound in your jaw when you open or close your mouth, or pain in your jaw joints and muscles? Signs like this often point to issues with the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. Your TMD (temporomandibular disorder) could be an indication of trauma, strain, complications with your bite, long-term injury, or grinding/clenching your teeth. Whatever the cause, this painful condition can be treated.

You can receive the TMD care you need from Dr. Hutchison. After talking to the doctor and her team, she will recommend a course of treatment that will help alleviate day-to-day pain…getting you back to your favorite activities. If you are experiencing any of these common TMD symptoms, ask Dr. Hutchison or a member of her team if you might benefit from TMD treatment.
