Spring 2010  


Spring has arrived early this year, in the great northwoods.

Our new office building in Woodruff is complete and opened on schedule in June of 2009, (see the video of current pictures). New patients are welcome!

Both Drs. Liesen and Pinzl attended the Chicago Dental Convention in February.  There is lots of information to share with everyone!  Dr. Pinzl went to Michigan to attend a seminar about Mini Dental Implants (MDI).

  • Mini Implants can be placed in less than two hours
  • Laugh, talk, eat comfortably and speak easily and with confidence
  • Your dentures are firmly in place and feel secure
  • An affordable price is available for all of this

The MDI System consists of a miniature titanium alloy implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture.  The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining fixture acts like a socket with a rubber O-ring.  The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture firmly in place.  When treated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue.  The implant fixtures allow for micromobility while withstanding natural lifting.  Call us for more information.

Dr. Liesen, Teri and Kathie, along with Price County Health Department, volunteered at Price County Schools placing dental sealants and fluoride varnish on 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th graders at no charge or a minimal cost to their families.  If you have any questions, you can contact the Price County Health Department at 715-339-3054.

Dentures

If you’re like most people who are learning about dentures, you probably have many questions.  Dentures have been around for many years.  The earliest form of denture was introduced more than 2,000 years ago.  Today, dentures are of better quality and more comfortable than ever before.

Replacing missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and your appearance.  A complete denture, also called a full denture, replaces  all the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips.  Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older.  And by replacing missing teeth, dentures improve a person’s ability to speak and to eat.

Drs. Liesen & Pinzl -- Park Falls Dentistry FAQ

Q.  Should I use a denture adhesive?

A.  A denture adhesive should not be used for a prolonged period.  Dentures are made to fit securely.  When a denture feels loose it may require relining.  A poor-fitting denture may cause irritation and possible sores.  Although an adhesive may be used for a short time until you are able to visit your dentist, prolonged use is not usually recommended, except for special situations.
