Dr. Nick Mohindra pioneered the first of the Dentalfacelift procedures,
which is the Added
Dimension Dentures technique.
Added Dimension Dentures
This is a new denture technique suitable for people who have lost all their natural
teeth and who are seeking to relieve pain or tension in the neck, shoulder,
head or back, retain youthful looks or reduce the signs of ageing. The technique
is based on the principle of reducing lost tooth height - as once the natural
teeth are lost the jaw bone tends to shrink - resulting in the typical 'sunken
face' appearance of those who wear traditional dentures.
How are Added Dimension Dentures different
from conventional dentures? The dentures themselves are similar
in appearance to ordinary dentures because the size of
the teeth does not change. However, the amount of pink gum
work is more, but this is, of course, not directly visible.
Great care is taken to ensure that our dentures are also designed
to look as natural as possible. We have state of the art digital
imaging facilities at our disposal to carefully
monitor the changes that are taking place, not only in the
appearance of the teeth but in the appearance of the whole
face.
What is involved?
Patients re invited to discuss their suitability for Added
Dimension Dentures with Dr. Mohindra at a consultation visit. A second
appointment is made to allow a full assessment and analysis, and after this,
special "pivots" or blocks are added to the patient's existing dentures
in order to start the process of raising denture height, and relaxing the muscles.
A set of dentures can then be made involving a series of appointments, in order
to make sure the dentures are correctly fitted and balanced.
