Portable Dental Services in Shelby Township, Michigan

Hi, my name is Dr. Antolak.

The owner of Portable Dental Services. Portable Dental Services is pretty self explanatory. We are portable. We go on the road. We go into your homes. We can go into the nursing facilities where maybe a loved one of yours is living, maybe a grandma, or possibly a parent who can’t get out of.

Either they’re at their home, out of their bed, or they can’t get really out of, they’re in a nursing facility, and it’s impossible for them to get, conveniently get to the office. So, we come to you. And we’ve been doing this for the last 9 years. And what we’d like to do is, to say that it’s something that’s very convenient. You’re treated with, or your loved 1 is treated with respect.

And we can do all phases of dentistry there. We take x-rays. We can do fillings, extractions, cleanings, make dentures, or partial dentures. Any type of work that you would expect to get at the dentist, we can do right in the comfort of your own home.

So you can give us a call at 586-873-5567 or visit portabledentalservices.com. At that point in time you’ll be talking with Sandy. She’s our office administrator and she will be more than happy to work out something and go more of the details about what types of things are available. So you can give us a call, once again talk to Sandy, which is 586-873-5567 thank you.

What is the best way to keep lower dentures in?

Lower dentures are designed fit between the pressure of the lower lip and the tongue.  Unfortuantely, this prevents the denture wearer from biting down with enough pressure to chew and bite food.  Therefore, the denture wearer is forced to cut the food into small pieces and attempt to chew it up.  The problem is that when the denture slips (even only slightly out of place) it puts the hard acrylic onto the soft ridge.  Since the soft gum tissue overlays the hard bone the patient is very protective in what they eat. 

To keep dentures in place on a consistent basis it is best to place dentures over dental implants.  Dental Implants are titanium screws that heal when placed in the jaw bone.  They then fit with a snap fit to allow the patient to chew with great force.  Complete denture wearers are only able to chew with 15%-20% of the force they once could with natural teeth.  The implant retained denture can improve the forces by 200%-300% over complete dentures. 

At our Shelby Township, Macomb county Michigan office we provide all levels of care and both place the denture implants and restore them.  Because we provide all of the services Dr. Antolak has complete control over the process.
