Dentures in Oviedo, FL
What Are Dentures & Partial Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore both esthetics and function. They can be used to replace all teeth in an arch (complete dentures) or just a few missing teeth (partial dentures).
- Complete Dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial Dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain, helping restore chewing ability and appearance.
Benefits & Limitations of Dentures
- Restore appearance and confidence.
- Improve chewing and speech compared to having no teeth.
- Cost-effective and non-invasive solution.
- Can be designed quickly compared to implants or bridges.
- Can move or slip, especially in the lower jaw.
- May cause sore spots or require adjustments over time.
- Bone underneath dentures can shrink, changing the fit.
- Do not provide the same biting strength as natural teeth or implants.
Enhancing Dentures with Implants
At Innovative Dental & Orthodontics, we often recommend improving the fit and function of dentures with dental implants and Locator abutments.
- Implants act as anchors, keeping your denture secure.
- Locator abutments “snap” the denture into place for stability while allowing easy removal for cleaning.
- This approach reduces slipping, improves chewing efficiency, and increases overall comfort.
