Question: Hi, I currently have 5 dental implants in my upper jaw along with a dolder bar which supports a denture. Pretty clumsy and old technology and I wondered what was new in this regard. Although I reside in Canada I have family in Conroe and visit often, and saw your ad on a recent visit.

What I am waiting for is technology that will enable me to get rid of the denture implant by adding teeth to each implant, or some variation thereof.

If you can help I would like to start a discussion with you.

Regards

Answer: Thanks for the enquiry.  We would be more than happy to help you out.  We have switched a person that has an implant supported denture to a fixed porcelain bridge that is supported by cosmetic dental implants (this functions more like natural teeth).  The first place to start is to come in for a consultation.  Within an hour, we can do an evaluation of your mouth and come up with a recommendation(s) for you.  Would you like to set up an appointment?

 I hope this answers your questions.

Thanks,

Reply: Thanks for the prompt reply, I would be happy to see you on my next visit but dates have not yet been settled. I will revert to you in due course as soon as I know the dates.

If you were to be able to give me a fixed porcelain bridge could you estimate an approximate cost? 

Also I seem to recall that some problems used to occur with speech (lisping) in the older types of implant, have you encountered this as a problem with the fixed bridge system?
