Dentures and Partials in North Melbourne, FL

elderly man and woman riding bikes to the dentist 32940Eating, chewing, smiling, talking, and feeling comfortable around other people. These are just a few of the daily activities that are impacted when you are living with multiple compromised or missing teeth. You should know that you don’t have to live this way!

If the time has come to consider a denture as a solution for your smile, you can rest assured that today’s dentures are nothing like those that your parents or grandparents wore.

Dr. Joel and Dr. Mark take great care in designing dentures for their patients with impeccable fit and natural aesthetics. We can also use dental implants to support your partial or full denture in for an even more stable and secure fit.

What Is a Partial Denture?

If you have multiple lost or compromised teeth, but you are still retaining many healthy teeth, a partial can fill in the gaps, give you back your beautiful smile, and help you eat with ease again.

Your partial denture will use metal or plastic clasps to anchor to healthy teeth and custom porcelain prosthetic teeth to fill the spaces in your smile. You can remove your partial easily at night while you sleep for cleaning.

What Is a Full Denture?

If it’s time to replace all of your teeth, a full denture can do the job. A traditional denture is removable and relies on fit and suction to keep it in place.

Choosing dental implants to support your denture means that you won’t have to endure learning to talk and eat with your new appliance. Since a few strategically placed implants will support your denture, there is never any movement or slippage.

Dental implants also provide the added benefit of protecting your jawbone from the deterioration that occurs when you wear a traditional full denture. Implants keep your bone stimulated so it remains strong and can support your denture for many years, and in some cases, a lifetime.

What’s Possible for Your Smile?Older man and woman smiling 32940

Tooth loss can make you feel hopeless, as it often results in losing even more teeth. The good news is there are excellent solutions for your smile, and our dentists have years of experience in helping patients reclaim their dental health with dentures.

The first step is to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Joel or Dr. Mark to learn more about your options. They will discuss your goals for your smile with you to determine which type of treatment will best fit into your lifestyle and budget, and help you reach those goals.

If you or a loved one is dealing with tooth loss, don't wait any longer to contact 321 Family Dental today for more information on how we can help with dentures in Melbourne, FL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you need to replace a few or all of your teeth, dentures in Melbourne, FL can be an excellent solution. Here's what you should know.

Partial Dentures

Maybe you're missing a few of your teeth, but you still have quite a few healthy ones; in this case, a partial denture can help fill in the spaces like a puzzle piece.

With prosthetic teeth strategically placed to fill the gaps in your smile, your partial denture stays in place with metal clasps that anchor to healthy teeth. Your prosthetic is designed to blend with your natural teeth and complement your smile while returning the function you need to eat and chew food.

Full Dentures

If it's time to consider replacing all of your teeth, complete dentures could be the right solution. This is a removable appliance, often made of acrylic and designed to replace all of the teeth in one arch. Dentures stay in place using a snug fit and suction combination, so sometimes there can be a learning curve as you get comfortable chewing, talking, and eating with your new teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

We can also use dental implants to anchor partial and full dentures. Some strategically placed implants can hold your denture in place and provide highly stable support, so you don't have movement or slippage when you talk or eat.

Dental implants also protect your jawbone from the deterioration that can occur with the pressure of removable dentures. Implants provide better longevity for your denture, making them a cost-effective choice for your smile.

If you're considering tooth replacement, our dentists would love to discuss your options with you.
