Dentures and Partials

Are you in search of a solution to replace teeth lost to gum disease, deep decay, or trauma? If so, you may want to consider a complete or partial denture. Today’s modern restorations are sleeker, lighter, more comfortable, and more functional than ever before. You’ll love the beautifully natural results!

Lake Minneola Dentistry uses cutting-edge technology and best-in-line materials to provide quality, durable dentures and partials. We look forward to restoring your smile and enhancing your quality of life.

Complete Dentures

Complete or full dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace all your natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are typically made of acrylic, gum-colored bases that hold artificial teeth made to match your smile. Complete dentures fit snugly over the gums, restoring your smile’s function and natural appearance.

There are two types of complete dentures: immediate and conventional.

  • Immediate Dentures are created before removing any remaining teeth and are placed immediately after extraction. During the healing period, which typically takes several months, the jawbone and gums change shape, meaning that immediate dentures will require adjustments and relining. These interim dentures are worn for 6-8 months until healing is complete.
  • Conventional Dentures are high-quality, long-term restorations created from analog impressions of your mouth after your jawbone and gums have had time to heal. Their main advantage is that they take into account every subtle detail of your gums and bite, delivering the best fit, comfort, and function. With proper care, your conventional dentures will continue to enhance your smile for many years to come.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable dental prosthetics used to fill in gaps left by missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. At Lake Minneola Dentistry, we offer a range of options for removable partial dentures depending on your unique needs and budget.

  • Acrylic Partial Dentures: These restorations typically consist of replacement teeth and gum-colored acrylic bases attached to metal frameworks. They connect to existing teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments.
  • Flex Partial Dentures: These metal-free restorations are made from a thin, flexible material that conforms to the shape of your mouth. They are more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than their acrylic counterparts.
  • Cast Metal Partial Denture: These dental prosthetics are made of a cast metal framework and porcelain or acrylic replacement teeth. They are more comfortable than acrylic or flex partials and provide a better bite and enhanced chewing function.
  • Interim Partial Dentures: These temporary dentures are typically worn for 6-9 months. We may recommend an interim partial if you need to have a few teeth removed before receiving permanent partial dentures or if you are waiting for a more long-term solution, such as implant-supported restorations.

Do I still have to see a dentist if I wear dentures?

Whether you wear partial or complete dentures, it’s essential to see the dentist for routine care. Besides checking the fit and condition of your dentures and making any necessary adjustments, you’ll also receive a comprehensive exam to check on the health of any remaining teeth as well the soft and hard tissues in and around the oral cavity.

What's a same-day denture?

+

A same-day denture offers an accelerated design and fabrication process that allows a patient to go from impression taking to denture insertion in a single day.

What is the main benefit of an immediate denture?

+

For patients who don’t want to wait after having teeth extracted, an immediate denture can be inserted the same day your teeth are removed. Sometime later you may need the denture reline to address any changes in its fit once the extraction sites have completely healed.

What if I break my denture?

While no one wants to drop or break a partial or complete denture, accidents do happen. The good news is that in some cases, your partial or complete denture is reparable. It all depends on the extent of the damage. Don’t hesitate to contact our office if you’ve broken or damaged your denture. We’re happy to help.

What if the clasps on my partial have loosened?

How much do partial or complete dentures cost?

+

While rebuilding a complete smile is a worthwhile investment, our office is sensitive to the costs involved in dental care. We customized care and will discuss which treatment options address your needs, lifestyle, and budget. How much a new denture will cost depends on the type of the prosthesis, its design, and the materials used to fabricate the supportive base, teeth, and clasps or precision attachments. Dentures that include the placement of dental implants for added retention and stability typically involve additional costs.
