Full and partial dentures in Florida

What Is the Procedure Like When Getting Dentures?

Obtaining affordable quality dentures is usually a multi-step process. During an initial visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and bite, make impressions and take measurements of your smile. This ensures that your new appliance has a perfect fit. After determining which type of denture is best for you, your dentist will administer any required preparatory procedures. These may include extractions for full dentures and implant placement for implant-supported devices. Once your mouth has successfully recovered from any preparatory treatment, your dentist will fit your permanent denture. He or she will also adjust the denture to ensure a comfortable fit.

What Types of Dentures Are Offered by Our Practice?

At our office, you’ll find several types of dentures to meet your needs. Here are some of the possible choices for restoring your smile:

Complete or Partial Dentures

Otherwise known as a full denture, a complete denture can replace each tooth in the top or bottom of the jaw. Created using durable acrylic, porcelain, or metal, complete dental appliances are designed to function just like natural teeth. They can be fixed in place using dental implants or can rest along the gums in the traditional method. If you are missing numerous teeth and wish to restore your jaw function, consider a complete denture. We offer hybrid zirconia full mouth dentures.

Those who are only missing a few teeth may receive benefits from a partial denture. These devices work much like a bridge, utilizing clasps on each side of a row of artificial teeth. To remove the partial, you’ll simply unhook the clasps from the adjacent teeth.

Flexible Partials

If you’re looking for a comfortable and natural-looking way to replace one or more teeth, a flexible partial may be a good choice. Flexible partials are created using soft, pliable materials and feature gum-colored clasps. They’re virtually unnoticeable while worn – no one will see anything but your beautiful smile.

Implant-Supported Denture

An implant-supported denture is a convenient, mess-free way to replace missing teeth. Instead of using an adhesive to remain in the mouth, these devices rely on two or four dental implants. The result is a stable, secure appliance that can be either removable or permanent. These appliances are usually recommended for the lower jaw.

What Is the Cost of Getting Dentures?

Since the treatment is completely personalized, the total dentures cost varies from person to person. At your appointment, your dentist will outline your care plan and the anticipated cost. Most of the time, the condition of your teeth, the amount of dental work needed beforehand, and the style of dentures chosen will determine your charges.

What Is a Denture?

If you are missing multiple teeth, our dentures in Lakewood Ranch can help you restore your beautiful smile. Consisting of a row of artificial teeth attached to a metal frame or fixed implants, a denture can help you improve your jaw function and appearance. Our affordable quality dentures function as natural teeth, allowing you to chew and speak confidently.

Should I Elect for a Soft Reline for Dentures?

Many denture wearers suffer from sore spots or discomfort from time to time. If your appliance has become uncomfortable, consider a soft denture reline. With a reline, the base of your dentures will be replaced with a soft, pliable material. This allows you to wear your dentures comfortably for up to two years.
