Dentures at Oviedo Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth. They are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. Whether you have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or other health reasons, dentures can restore the structure of your mouth and the beauty of your smile, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly.

Benefits of Dentures

• Renew your smile and confidence. Dentures are carefully crafted to match your natural teeth, giving you a full, healthy-looking smile that you can be proud to share.
• Improve your speech and chewing ability. Missing teeth can make it difficult to speak clearly and eat comfortably. Dentures restore these essential functions, improving your overall quality of life.
• Support your facial structure. Tooth loss can cause facial muscles to sag, making you appear older. Dentures provide the necessary support to maintain your facial shape.
• A removable and convenient solution. Modern dentures are designed for comfort and ease of use, making them a practical and effective option for replacing missing teeth.

Types of Dentures We Offer

• Implant-Retained Dentures: For enhanced stability, dentures can be anchored to dental implants. This prevents slipping and provides a more secure and natural feel compared to traditional dentures.
• Full Mouth Dentures: When all teeth in an arch are missing, a full denture provides a complete set of prosthetic teeth, restoring your smile and oral function.
• Partial Dentures: Used when one or more natural teeth remain, partial dentures fill the gaps created by missing teeth and are held in place by clasps around your existing teeth.

Are You A Good Candidate for Dentures?

If you have experienced the loss of several or all of your teeth in your upper or lower jaw, you are likely a good candidate for dentures. Ideal candidates have healthy gum tissues and sufficient bone to support the denture. We will work with you to determine the best solution for your specific needs and ensure you feel comfortable and confident with your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

How long does it take to get used to new dentures?

Adjusting to new dentures typically takes a few weeks. It’s normal to experience minor soreness or changes in saliva flow initially, but your mouth will soon adapt. We are here to help with any adjustments needed to ensure a comfortable fit.

Will I be able to eat normally with dentures?

Yes, though it may take some practice. We recommend starting with soft foods and gradually reintroducing harder items as you become more comfortable. With a proper fit, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide variety of foods again.

How do I care for my dentures?

Dentures should be removed and cleaned daily with a soft brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser. When not in use, they should be soaked in water or a denture solution to keep them from drying out.

How often will my dentures need to be replaced?

With proper care, dentures can last for several years. Over time, your mouth will change, so your dentures may need to be relined or remade every 5 to 10 years to maintain an optimal fit.

Can dentures look like my natural teeth?

Absolutely. We use modern materials and techniques to create dentures that are customized to match your natural tooth color and facial structure, resulting in a beautiful and realistic smile.

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all teeth in an entire arch (upper or lower), while partial dentures are used to fill in gaps when some healthy natural teeth remain.
