Types of Dentures

Explore full and partial denture options designed to restore your smile, improve function, and fit comfortably with your unique needs.

Partial Denture

Full Denture

Dental Implant-Retained Denture

01 Partial Denture

Several missing teeth in a row can be replaced with a partial. Custom-made prosthetic teeth are featured in a gum-colored base. It is attached to a metal framework that allows it to clasp onto your natural teeth to hold it in place.

02 Full Denture

A complete arch is replaced with a full denture. “No goo” digital impressions using iTero of your mouth is used to create an acrylic gum-colored base to hold your new teeth. Suction or an adhesive is used to hold it in place.

03 Dental Implant-Retained Denture

You can enjoy a more permanent solution with implant-retained dentures. Instead of suction or an adhesive, an average of 4 implant posts anchors your denture to your jawbone. With the potential to last forever, you can make a long-term investment in your smile.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures are an affordable and convenient solution to treat missing teeth. Although they have a bad reputation for looking fake, new advancements in dentistry allow them to look more natural than ever before. They provide a more comfortable fit to reduce any slipping or irritation, so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

It is tempting to leave the empty spaces in your smile untreated; however, this is never the ideal option. Every tooth is invaluable to your oral health and functions. When even one is missing, it can lead to dental complications, like tooth decay and gum disease. You may also develop nutritional deficiencies because many foods may be too difficult to eat.

Dentures in Orlando allow you to rebuild your smile to protect your oral and general health. With the right care, you can enjoy a solution that lasts for as long as 5 years before needing to be replaced. You can eat many of your favorite foods again and protect any remaining natural teeth from complications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures & Partials

Teeth can be lost for a wide number of reasons. Sometimes they might be knocked out of your mouth as the result of an accident. In other cases, gum disease might damage the connective tissues holding them in place. And of course, if any of your teeth have cavities that aren’t treated in time, they might have to be removed.

No matter the reason for losing your teeth, an incomplete smile can have a profoundly negative impact on your life. You may find it harder to properly chew your food, and you’re likely to have trouble speaking clearly. Gaps in your grin can leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance, which makes it harder to feel confident around others. And without your teeth's support, you might start to experience facial sagging.

Dentures might be an ideal solution for patients who:

Have lost multiple teeth in their upper or lower arches.
Have numerous decayed teeth that need to be removed.
Have healthy gum tissue and a jawbone capable of supporting new teeth.
Can maintain excellent oral hygiene after receiving dentures.

At our practice, you can choose from three different dentures: full dentures, partial dentures, and implant dentures. The one that’s best for you depends on the number of teeth you’re missing. When considering dentures as a tooth replacement option, it’s worth remembering that they tend to cost less than other treatments.

Not everybody can get dentures, but luckily, there’s more than one way to rebuild your smile. If we find that dentures aren’t right for you, we may suggest one of the following tooth replacement methods instead:

Dental Bridge: A dental bridge consists of a number of free-standing replacement teeth and two dental crowns. To place the bridge, we can secure the crowns to two of your natural teeth. This type of restoration is often recommended if only a single tooth or several consecutive teeth are missing.
Dental Implants: Dental implants can be surgically inserted into your jaw to restore the roots of your missing teeth. Thanks to their stability, dental implants will let you eat whatever you want, and they’ll stop your new teeth from slipping. Our practice can handle the entire dental implant process in-house.

Once you have dentures, sticky foods like peanut butter or chewy candies can dislodge them and make them harder to chew. Also, food particles can become trapped beneath your dentures, which can irritate your gums. Also, foods that contain small pieces (i.e., popcorn kernels, shelled nuts, and sesame seeds) can get stuck around your dentures. If you’re not careful, you can accidentally damage your prosthetics by eating hard foods like carrots, apples, nuts, popcorn, or corn on the cob. Tough meats can also add stress to your dentures and gums.

Tooth loss often results in jawbone deterioration and what is known as “facial collapse.” To prevent a sunken face, dentures can be placed to support your facial muscles and improve your appearance. It’s important that you have them checked by a denture dentist in Orlando, especially if you notice your prosthetic no longer fits properly. Anytime your facial shape changes, it can cause your dentures to fit improperly, which can lead to oral sores on your soft oral tissues and increased discomfort.

Unfortunately, regular toothpaste is too abrasive and can scratch the acrylic and surface of your dentures. Eventually, it will become noticeable that your dentures appear damaged. Instead, it’s best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush (not a hard one, as this will scratch your dentures, too) and hand soap or mild dishwashing liquid, along with denture cleaners, to keep your prosthetics healthy and in optimal shape.
