NW Dental offers affordable denture options W hen people discover they need dentures, whether due to injury or illness, it can be upsetting. They worry about their appearance, what they’ll feel like and if anyone will be able to tell the difference. Fortunately, a lot has changed in the world of dentures and dentistry over the last couple of decades. There are new materials and new methods of securing them. These definitely aren’t your grandmother’s dentures anymore. “The new composites are so natural that even I can’t tell the difference when they’re in a patient’s mouth,” said second-generation, licensed denturist Eric Hansen. That is coming from an expert who can usually tell the manufacturer just by looking at an old denture. Hansen is the owner of Northwest Dental, a local family of clinics with offices in Everett, Burlington, Oak Harbor and Bellingham. Northwest Dental offers everything from general and cosmetic dentistry to implants and a full range of denture services. “We have different new materials that help the teeth last longer. We have new techniques which make it easier and some of the techniques that we have are exclusive to our clinics,” Hansen said. Whether a person is a first time denture wearer or has been wearing dentures
for decades, it’s worth looking into what’s new. That’s why Northwest Dental offices offer free denture consultations. One of the most important advancements for denture wearers in recent years has been the innovation of implants to secure the denture in place. Nearly everyone with a lower denture would benefit immensely with implants, Hansen said. The dentures snap solidly onto the implant posts so they can’t move around. “That eliminates the need for any denture adhesive and it eliminates all the problems that people have with lower dentures,” he explained. Northwest Dental can also offer implants on the upper denture when required. But a standard upper denture covers the full palate and creates a suction on its own that assists in holding the denture in place. Because of that, an upper denture isn’t usually a problem. But there are some people who don’t like the way that a standard upper denture covers of the palate. It affects their senses of hot, cold and taste. For those people, Hansen urges them to come in and find out more rather than put up with something that doesn’t feel right. “If you put four implants in the upper with attachments that snap on, then you don’t need to have a denture covering the entire

palate anymore,” he said. “There are different types of implants that you can do. Just call for a free consultation with our denturist to see which would be the best for you.” Implants have other benefits as well. They can help in the reduction of bone loss, Hansen explained. Once all the teeth are gone, especially the lower teeth, the bone shrinks and dissolves and
changes and that can affect how dentures fit. “But with a couple of implants in there, it really increases the time that the bone sticks around. In some cases it eliminates bone loss,” Hansen said. Once a patient decides which type of denture is best for them, they can have those dentures crafted onsite in Northwest Dental’s own denture lab. Keeping everything local means a
faster turnaround time. It also means patients actually get to consult with the expert denturist crafting their new dentures. They can see the dentures throughout the process and request changes if needed ensuring a perfect fit. It’s all part of the service. Hansen and his staff take pride in offering compassionate and discreet care. Dentures are sometimes covered by insurance. But
even if they are not covered, Northwest Dental offers affordable financing options.

Patients may also select from appointment opportunities at the Burlington, Oak Harbor or Bellingham Northwest Dental offices if they prefer.
