If you’ve worn dentures for a while, then you know they don’t fit the same as the day you received them. They may slip more often and you may need costly adjustments more frequently, too. That’s because dentures are only designed to look like teeth; they cannot stimulate bone regeneration the way a natural tooth and its root do. Consequently, your jawbone begins to shrink and those dentures that once fit snuggly are now slipping. Fortunately, there is a permanent solution. With TeethXpress™, Dr. Bruce E. Carter in Lawrenceville, GA, can give you a smile with dentures that are beautiful and secure.

If you have several missing teeth, then the importance of replacing those teeth cannot be overstated.
