Full & Partial Dentures - Jacksonville, FL

A partial denture in Jacksonville, FL is a great option for filling in existing gaps caused by tooth loss or those created following tooth extraction. The most common type of removable partial consists of a cast metal framework that supports high-quality replacement teeth with precision metal attachments. A less expensive partial denture has removable acrylic flippers, although the drawback is that its bulkier shape isn’t as attractive or comfortable as cast metal.

A complete denture, also known as a full denture, is a removable tooth replacement option that is usually made from acrylic. When you receive complete dentures in Jacksonville, FL, you’ll experience improved smile appearance and confidence. The denture base acts as a foundation for the false teeth and also restores defective soft and hard tissues. The false teeth will help you chew and bite food comfortably, although you’ll still need to avoid some foods. The full upper part of the denture, known as the maxillary arch, features a plate covering the roof of your mouth. The full lower denture, called the mandibular arch, is a horse-shoe shaped denture that rests on the gum and bone tissues.

Immediate dentures are placed right after extraction of your natural teeth. Available as complete or partial dentures, this option eliminates waiting for your mouth to heal after getting teeth extracted. An immediate denture allows you to end the embarrassment of living without teeth quicker than traditional dentures. The downside is that as your mouth heals, the underlying gum and bone tissue starts to shrink. Within just two to three months, your denture will loosen, necessitating a reline that may be able to correct the problem. If not, we’ll need to fabricate a new denture for you, which makes this a far more expensive option.

This type of denture is attached to dental implants that fuse with your jawbone, so you’ll enjoy added security and stability. Implant supported dentures in Jacksonville, FL help restore the feeling of real teeth and keep your mouth healthy for years to come. Knowing your teeth won’t slip or fall out provides the ability to speak and smile more confidently. Dental implants can be used for complete dentures and fixed partial bridges. In addition to being able to eat a wider variety of foods without discomfort, you’ll never have to worry again about messy denture adhesives, pastes or powders.
