You better fix it dear Henry, dear Henry....

Full traditional dentures are like rolling stones: they tend to move around (and sometimes they make your lips look like Mick Jagger's.)


Dentures should be held in place by their natural suction to your gums and, at first, they will. After some time, however, they come loose and this is where many people's nightmare starts: always afraid that their teeth will stick with the apple instead of the gum and never leaving home without their 'extra strong' fixative.

Dentures on implants are much less adventurous. Just like the above stones (cemented to the street), they stay put.

Nowadays, dentures can be fixed securely in place by dental implants. If you would like to know what an implantation looks like, you can find some videos on http://www.youtube.com/. Just search for 'dental implant' and you can enjoy some fine surgery.

Man: 'Darling, your teeth remind me of the stars'
Woman: 'Because they gleam and sparkle'
Man: 'No, because they come out at night!'
