Berlanga Dentures - Welcome to Our Blog

​Not all dentures are created equally.  Berlanga Dentures offers the most life-like options available, with their Phonares II teeth, fabricated in Italy.  Precision crafted with Nano Hybrid Composite, Phonares II represents the next generation of dentures.  Offering a unique blend of unrivaled beauty and unparalleled performance, Phonares II are created to express individual characteristics (soft & bold) and age (youthful, universal, or mature).  Phonares II are the perfect solution for esthetic and functional dentures.

“It is the first impression, the overall esthetic appearance that is conveyed in the first few seconds in which a tooth is viewed, that counts. These first few seconds are of crucial importance because this is the time it takes someone to decide whether the tooth lives up to his or her expectations,” says Thorsten Michel, MDT for Glidewell Laboratories.

You may wonder why some dentures look like real teeth while others have the obvious appearance of a denture. This has to do with three main factors.
·         The shapes of the teeth
·         The colors and surface texture of the teeth
·         The placement of the teeth

With Phonares II dentures, you have a true-to-nature smile based on your unique facial characteristics and personality, as well as your preferences. The result is not just a denture, but a smile that fits you perfectly.  They are designed to look like natural teeth with gender specific tooth shapes and colors that complement your age and personality.

Depending on your needs, Berlanga Dentures can help you choose from a selection of available tooth shapes and a variety of materials, such as highly durable acrylic resin or Nano hybrid composite that will resist wear, chipping, cracking, and staining.

​Quarter Midget Racing is a family sport that involves racing on oval tracks, about 1/20 of a mile, in specially prepared cars for children ages 5 to 16 years of age. Started in the late 60’s, the Little Wheels Quarter Midget Association, held its first races in parking lots like the B&I and Fred Meyer.  They opened their location in Graham, WA in the early 70’s, and are still there today.

Joey Berlanga raced when he was a boy, and the sport has always held a special place in his heart. When Joey heard that Landon Sproles, whose mother, Laura Sproles, works for the Tacoma Dental Lab, he knew that this would be a great way to help this ambitious young man participate in this great sport.

Midget racing safety features include full roll cages, multi-point seat harnesses, full face helmets, and additional gear that make the sport safe for children.  In fact, the sport has fewer injuries than little-league football.  The Quarter Midget Association reviews and evaluates safety rules to ensure that it remains a safe and competitive sport.

The environment at the races, and the sport in general, is all about family involvement.  The children learn valuable skills and sportsmanship, make great friends, and the whole family gets involved.

​Landon, who is 6-years-old, started racing this year, and as you can see from the photos, he is a natural!  He came in first place in his category, Junior Novice, this year. 

Berlanga Dentures is active in the community, supporting young people like Landon.  To learn more about midget racing, and the Little Wheels Quarter Midget Association, visit their website at littlewheelsqma.com.
