Full and Partial Dentures Explained
Dentures come in two main types. Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch. Partial dentures fill the spaces between your remaining healthy teeth and hold in place with small clasps. Today’s dentures are a far cry from the bulky ones of the past, because they are custom-crafted from lightweight, durable materials to look like natural teeth and gums. At Palm Trails Dental, we help you work out which type fits your situation and explain what to expect, step by step.
Getting a Comfortable Fit
A good denture is about fit as much as appearance. We take careful measurements of your mouth, use digital mapping to help the fit be precise, then check the fit and your bite once the denture is made. Some adjustment is normal in the first weeks, since your gums and cheeks need time to adapt, and we adjust the denture so sore spots and slipping do not linger. Dentures are also a practical, affordable way to replace many missing teeth. We work with many major insurance plans, including Aetna, Ameritas, Cigna, Delta, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, and UnitedHealthcare.
Options, Including Implant Support
Traditional dentures rest on the gums, and many people do well with them. If yours move when you eat or speak, an implant-stabilized denture may be worth considering. A few dental implants act as anchors that hold the denture firmly in place, which can improve comfort and confidence when chewing. Dr. Carmin Gonzalez, who practices implant dentistry, can explain whether this option suits you. Whatever you choose, we go through each one plainly, so you never feel pushed toward something you do not need.
Living Well With Dentures
Dentures do more than improve how you look. They help support your facial muscles, make it easier to eat a varied diet, and let you speak and laugh without holding back. Starting with softer foods cut into small pieces helps while you adjust, and we will show you how to clean and care for your dentures. If your current dentures no longer feel right, or you are missing teeth and do not know where to start, call Palm Trails Dental in Port Saint Lucie to schedule a consultation.
