Full and partial dentures in Florida

Types of Dentures

Full and Partial Dentures

A full denture is used to replace a dental arch that has no natural teeth remaining. A partial denture fills in the space created by missing teeth, and it stops other teeth from shifting out of position. In contrast to a dental bridge, a partial denture is removable. A patient can have both a full denture and a partial denture, according to their needs.

Flexible Partial Denture

A partial denture is traditionally made with rigid metal bases. However, flexible partial dentures are gaining in popularity. Their bases are made out of a flexible material, like vinyl, which can provide a more comfortable fit and a more natural look.

Implant-Supported Denture

Many patients experience problems with their bottom full denture shifting during wear. That issue can be solved by using an implant-supported denture. This type of denture is removable, but when worn, it is fastened onto dental implants that are rooted into the jaw.

All-on-Four Dentures

Getting a full mouth of dental implants can be expensive, invasive and time-consuming. All on four dentures provide a more simple way to get the benefits of dental implants without all the hassle. Only four implants are needed to fix a full denture in place permanently with this technique. To find out more about this innovative technology, please give us a call.

What Should You Expect When Getting Dentures?

At your first appointment, you’ll complete a patient history form and meet with a dentist for an examination. Plans will be made for needed preparatory work, such as extractions or dental implants. Before your denture can be put into production, the dentist will take an impression of your gums and teeth so that your new denture will fit well and match your natural teeth beautifully. Lastly, you’ll have a fitting for your final denture to correct any issues. The length of time from your first appointment to your final denture can take anywhere from weeks to months, depending on your needs.

How Much Do Dentures Cost for Dental Patients?

It’s difficult to give a cost for an upper or lower denture because each patient’s treatment plan can vary. Your dentures price depends on the denture type, the cost of materials used to make the denture and the amount of preparatory treatment you require. In any case, we strive to provide our patients with comfortable and affordable quality dentures that fit their budget.

What Is a Soft Reline for Dentures?

Over time, your dentures won’t fit as precisely as they used to because your gums can change shape. This problem can be solved without replacing the denture through a soft denture reline. This procedure uses a material that is designed to stay pliable and comfortable for up to two years. A hard reline uses rigid material that can be harder to get used to wearing.
