Full and partial dentures in Bradenton

A denture is a removable tooth replacement that also includes artificial gum tissue. The denture can replace several missing teeth or all the teeth in the upper or lower arch. Dentures in Bradenton can also be permeant teeth replacements.

Getting a denture can make you look younger by restoring the shape of your face. They can also help you chew easier and give you the confidence to smile and laugh freely without worrying about hiding missing teeth. If you're interested in having a complete smile once again, contact our office for a consultation.

A partial denture clips on to existing healthy teeth to fill in for missing teeth. It performs the same function as a dental bridge, except that bridges are permeant and partial dentures are removable.

A flexible denture is a lightweight alternative to a rigid plastic denture. It's held in place by bands that are not as visible as the metal clasps that will hold a traditional partial denture in place.

Dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots, can secure a full denture in your mouth. You can have a ball or bar-retained denture that is extremely stable, and you can remove the denture every night to clean it. You just snap it back in the next morning. It is possible to get an implant-supported denture that is never removed. It is the same as having natural teeth.

The advantage of having implant-supported dentures is that you won't experience bone deterioration. The implant acts as a tooth root, providing stimulation to the jawbone. They are also a stable denture; it won't move or slip ever.

All-on-4 ® Dentures are a registered trademark of Nobel Biocare dental implants. These implants are special because only four implants can hold a denture covering a full arch. Two of the four implants are placed at a specific angle for strength. This can be a good option for people with bone loss who can support four implants, but no more. Call our office for a consultation to see if this type of denture may be right for you.

Your dentist will examine you and access the health or your gums and remaining teeth. Diseased teeth are removed first. For dentures that look and feel natural, your dentist will measure your mouth and make an impression of your gums. If you're getting a traditional denture, a dental lab will fabricate it and you'll return to ensure it fits correctly.

If you choose an implant-supported denture, you'll have the implants placed first. Once they have fused with your bone, your denture will be ready to place.

The cost of a denture depends on a range of factors. It depends on whether you need a full or partial denture, whether it is an implant denture and whether you need any preliminary work, such as extractions. Your total cost also depends on whether you have insurance coverage. If you call us for a consultation, our dentist can go over your options and find out your needs and budget.

Unless you have an implant-supported denture, your bone and gums will change over time. A soft reline coats the underneath your denture and makes it fit better. The reline also makes your denture more comfortable.
