You’re proud of the way you take care of yourself. You try to exercise regularly, you stick to a healthy diet—with indulgent snacks kept to a reasonable limit—and you try to get enough sleep every night. But did you know that lurking in your mouth could be bacteria that are not only harming your oral health but your general health, too? Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is very common.

If you think about it, this problem can almost be expected, because ordinary dentures simply fit on top of soft gum tissue. There is, however, a solution. Implant supported dentures solve the problem of dentures that slip. With implant supported dentures, Dr. Barry Holden can secure your smile just as he’s done for many others in State College and Williamsport, PA. What are Implant Supported Dentures?

Are you too afraid to get the gum disease therapy you need? Many patients with gum disease avoid the treatment they need because they fear “going under the knife”. But advanced periodontal (gum) disease will not get better on its own. Periodontal disease can only be treated by removing the harmful bacteria hiding beneath the gum line and accumulating in tissue pockets around the teeth.
