Full and partial dentures in Florida

What Are My Options for Dentures?

Dentures now come in a wide variety of options so that you can customize your dentures to best suit your needs and preferences. Your dentist will take impressions and measurements so that your new teeth will have the best fit and function possible. Your dentist will then work with you to determine the best solution for your needs.

What Are Full Dentures?

A full denture set replaces all of your teeth. If you are missing all or most of your teeth, this may be your best option. Your dentist will take impressions and measurements of your gums and teeth, remove any existing teeth, and install implants if necessary for treatment plan. You’ll then be given a temporary dental appliance. When your gums are healed, your new teeth will be installed and adjusted, and your beautiful new smile will be ready for action.

A removable full denture set will be seated comfortably on your gums, and it will need to be removed and cleaned each night. A fixed full denture will be affixed to the implants that were installed and won’t need to be removed.

What Are Partial Dentures?

If you have most of your teeth, a partial denture can replace those that are missing without the need to extract healthy teeth. A partial is similar to a bridge except the bridge is permanently installed and a partial will need to be removed and cleaned each night. A partial is affixed to the nearby teeth using removable clasps..

What Are Flexible Partial Dentures?

A partial denture is made of rigid acrylic material, which some may find uncomfortable. A flexible partial denture and its clasps are made of soft, pliable material that is flesh colored, so it blends better with your natural teeth.

What’s An Implant-Supported Denture?

An implant-supported denture is affixed to the dental implants by clasps and needs to be removed and cleaned each night. Usually, this type of denture is installed only in the lower jaw since the upper jaw doesn’t require as much stability.

What Are All-on-Four^® Dentures?

The All-on-Four technique permanently affixes a full set of artificial teeth to the implants that were installed in the lower jaw. This is a very convenient option and provides more biting power than a traditional denture.
