Most denture wearers are unhappy with their dentures. Complaints include dentures that are unattractive, slip out of place, or make people look (and feel) older.
Traditional and economy dentures almost always have these problems, but there is an alternative: FOY® Dentures.
The Denture Fountain of Youth® is a restorative dentistry solution designed using the latest cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry principles. This means that the dentures will look natural and fit superbly. The fit is so good that it can actually rejuvenate your appearance, helping you look years or even decades younger.

Why Most Denture Wearers Are Unhappy
Most denture wearers are not satisfied with their dentures because of common complaints about dentures that:
- Look fake
- Smell bad
- Stain
- Feel uncomfortable
- Slip out of place
- Make it hard to eat
- Cause gagging or nausea
- Make you look older
These denture problems are common because of the way traditional dentures are designed and fitted.
Conventional dentures are made out of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), a type of plastic. This type of plastic is pretty durable but doesn't look like natural teeth or gums. Plus, many dentures are made with low-density PMMA, which stains and picks up odors easily.
Furthermore, most denture dentists didn't learn a scientific process for fitting dentures. They learned a basic way to fit dentures that were the standard for many years but didn't allow for a good fit. The result is dentures that tend to slip out of place. They don't let you chew properly, and they can cause gagging or nausea because they irritate your mouth.
The fit of traditional dentures also doesn't consider your facial proportions, so they can make you look old.
Are They Compatible with Dental Implants?
Yes! FOY® Dentures can be implant dentures. We can either design them as implant dentures or convert them later.
Do FOY® Dentures Stop Jaw Bone Loss?
Without natural teeth, the body starts removing bone from your jaw. FOY® Dentures can't stop this process, but they don't speed the process like poorly fitting dentures can.
Better Materials for More Attractive Dentures
One of the big differences with FOY® Dentures is that they're made out of better materials. First of all, the teeth are made of ceramic, similar to what is used in many veneers, which makes them look attractive and natural. Dentured teeth can even be customized so your smile is your own–not just the same one as all other denture wearers.
The denture base is made of a high-density PMMA that resists staining and smells. Plus, it's layered and textured to look more like natural gums–there are even inclusions that look like blood vessels.
How Improved Fit Rejuvenates Your Appearance
Traditional dentures are designed to fit on your gums, but FOY® Dentures are designed to fit your entire face. The scientific process uses neuromuscular principles to make sure the dentures fit with your bite system for the most secure, comfortable, and functional fit.
But improved fit does even more – it can make you look younger. The secret is what plastic surgeons call "the concertina effect."
Your skin, muscles, and other soft tissue developed when you were a young adult with a full set of long teeth. As your teeth got worn down and lost, and your jawbone lost material, the support structure got smaller. However, your soft tissue stayed the same, which means that it had to drape, fold, and hang off the structure, causing effects like:
- Wrinkles
- Folds
- Jowls
- Turkey neck
Most dentures are fit without concern for this problem. FOY® Dentures, though, are designed to replace all the volume you lost in your teeth and jaw. This restores your face's youthful proportions, which helps you look younger. Plus, it maintains your appearance so that you still look like you.

Are FOY® Dentures Suitable for Individuals With Sensitive Gums?
Yes, FOY® dentures are generally suitable for individuals with sensitive gums. They provide a custom fit that evenly distributes pressure and reduces the risk of irritation.
FOY® dentures are made from advanced materials and emphasize a more natural alignment. As a result, they are less likely to cause the painful rubbing or sore spots that traditional dentures can sometimes create.
Can I Have My FOY® Dentures Adjusted After They Are Fitted?
Dr. Strober can adjust your FOY® dentures after the initial fitting.
The initial design focuses on achieving an accurate, secure fit that aligns with each individual's facial structure. However, Dr. Strober can make further adjustments if needed.
Patients often request minor adjustments over time due to changes in the gums or bone structure. These adjustments ensure continued comfort and functionality.
How Do FOY® Dentures Enhance Chewing and Speaking Abilities?
FOY® dentures improve both chewing and speaking abilities. They do this by restoring a natural bite alignment and enhancing stability.
Conventional dentures may slip. However, FOY® dentures have a snug fit and stay in place.
This stability means users can chew better and enjoy a wider range of foods. Furthermore, the improved fit supports clearer pronunciation. This is because FOY® dentures help keep the jaw and tongue aligned better during speech.
What Maintenance Do FOY® Dentures Need?
FOY® dentures need regular maintenance, similar to other denture types. They are often easier to care for, though, due to their high-quality materials.
Regular cleaning and rinsing are essential, as well as gentle brushing with a soft denture brush to prevent buildup. Soaking overnight in a denture-safe solution helps maintain cleanliness. Dr. Strober also recommends periodic dental check-ups to assess the fit and condition of the dentures.
Do FOY® Dentures Stain or Discolor Over Time?
FOY® dentures are made from durable, stain-resistant materials that help maintain their color and luster. However, like natural teeth, they can discolor over time. This is especially true if they are frequently exposed to staining substances like coffee, tea, or tobacco.
Regular cleaning and care are key to preserving your FOY® dentures' appearance. A professional cleaning at Dr. Strober's office can also help remove any stubborn stains.
Can I Combine FOY® Dentures With Partial Natural Teeth?
Yes, you can often combine FOY® dentures with natural teeth to create a more customized solution.
For individuals with remaining healthy teeth, a partial FOY® denture can blend seamlessly with their natural teeth, enhancing comfort and functionality. This approach leverages the advanced fit and aesthetic advantages of FOY® dentures while maintaining the structural benefits of the existing teeth.
Consulting with an experienced FOY® denture provider like Dr. Strober will help you determine the best approach based on your dental health and goals.
