Neuromuscular dentistry makes the difference for patients in Quincy, MA with full dentures
Neuromuscular dentistry differentiates FOY® Dentures. I have this in-depth training in anatomy of the mouth – how jawbone, muscles, and nerves work together for optimal oral function. The concept is fundamental to the design of FOY® Dentures, based on dynamic models of your mouth in motion.
From initial impressions to design and final fitting, each step of the process is performed systematically for predicable results.
What about appearance?
This top-quality denture fills out facial features, reduces wrinkling, and ultimately contributes to a more youthful appearance. Here’s how.
Features of a young person’s face reflect the harmony of taut skin, firm muscles, dense bone, and fledgling teeth. As we age, teeth wear down. Some may fall out or require extraction. As the face collapses inward:
- Nose gets closer to chin
- Skin sags into wrinkles
- Lines form around the mouth
- Jowls and loose neck skin develop
Conventional dentures are only designed to replace teeth. They do not re-establish the full height of teeth, as they were when properly supported by young bone and muscle.
The neuromuscular principle behind Fountain of Youth dentures returns youthful proportions to the smile. Teeth of proper height in a forward position, set in a framework that supports cheek muscles and facial structures, avoids the sunken look characteristic to many denture wearers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fountain of Youth Denture
How are Fountain of Youth Dentures different from regular dentures?
Fountain of Youth Dentures are designed with more than tooth replacement in mind. Traditional dentures often focus mainly on creating a set of replacement teeth that fits over the gums. FOY Dentures also consider jaw position, facial support, muscle balance, and how the mouth functions during movement. For patients in Quincy who feel their current dentures make their face look sunken or older, this approach may provide a more customized result.
Who is a good candidate for Fountain of Youth Dentures?
You may be a good candidate if you need full dentures or already wear dentures that feel uncomfortable, unstable, or unattractive. Many patients seek this option because they want dentures that look more natural and better support the face. Candidacy also depends on your oral health, gum condition, jaw relationship, and personal goals. Dr. Stephen Matarazzo can evaluate whether this denture system is appropriate for your needs.
Can Fountain of Youth Dentures help with denture pain?
They may help patients whose discomfort is related to poor fit, uneven bite pressure, lack of support, or dentures that do not work well with the jaw muscles. Denture pain is not something you should simply tolerate. Sore spots, pressure, rubbing, and jaw fatigue can interfere with eating and daily confidence. A careful evaluation can determine whether new dentures, adjustments, or another solution would be most effective.
Will Fountain of Youth Dentures make my smile look natural?
The goal is to create dentures that fit your facial features rather than looking generic. Details such as tooth size, tooth length, smile shape, lip support, and gum appearance can influence how natural the final result looks. FOY Dentures are often chosen by patients who want a fuller, more refreshed smile without the flat or artificial appearance sometimes associated with conventional dentures.
Do Fountain of Youth Dentures improve chewing?
Well-designed dentures can make chewing more comfortable and efficient, especially when the bite is planned carefully. FOY Dentures are created with attention to how the jaw moves and how the teeth meet, which may help reduce uneven pressure. While dentures do not provide the same chewing force as natural teeth or fixed implant teeth, an improved fit and bite can make everyday meals easier.
How long does it take to adjust to Fountain of Youth Dentures?
Adjustment time varies, especially if you have worn older dentures for many years. Your tongue, cheeks, jaw muscles, and speech patterns may need time to adapt to the new shape and bite. Some patients adjust within a few weeks, while others need follow-up visits for refinements. Practicing speech, eating softer foods at first, and following care instructions can make the transition smoother.
How much do Fountain of Youth Dentures cost?
The cost depends on the complexity of your case, the materials used, and whether extractions, adjustments, or other procedures are needed before the dentures are made. Because FOY Dentures involve a detailed design process, they may cost more than basic dentures. Insurance may cover part of the cost in some cases. Quincy Smile Center can review fees, benefits, and payment options after an evaluation.
How do I care for Fountain of Youth Dentures?
Daily care is important for comfort, appearance, and oral health. Clean the dentures with a denture-safe brush and cleanser, rinse them after meals when possible, and keep them moist when they are out of your mouth. Your gums, tongue, and palate should also be gently brushed each day. Regular dental visits allow Dr. Matarazzo to check fit, bite, tissue health, comfort, and wear.
