Let Us Make You Smile
Patients who are missing one, several, or all of their teeth can receive customized dentures in Florida from Gentle Breeze Dental. We combine the traditional approach to tooth replacement with benefits of modern dental technology when creating affordable dentures Port St Lucie FL for our patients. Today’s dentures are more durable and functional than any other time in history. People won’t be able to tell that they’re not your natural teeth, even when sitting right next to you.
Choosing Between Removable and Implant-Supported Dentures
Your new denture will allow you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence, regardless of the type you select. One of the benefits of full or partial traditional dentures is that you can remove them when sleeping if you want to. It may also be easier to clean your denture when you’re able to take them out of your mouth. If that doesn’t appeal to you, dentures supported by implants are a great option. They are a permanent solution to tooth loss that also preserves the health of your jawbone.
If you do choose implant-supported dentures, you will need to come to our office for surgical placement of the dental implants first. These serve as support for your new denture. By approaching your denture placement this way, we provide you with the assurance that your new replacement teeth won’t shift out of place in your mouth. Many southern Florida residents who have upgraded to dentures supported by implants tell us they are amazed at the way their replacement teeth look and feel just like their natural ones.
Implant-Supported Denture Benefits
While both traditional dentures and those supported by implants conceal tooth loss and provide you with improved functionality, the latter type has additional benefits you may want to consider. These include:
- Bone Loss Prevention: After wearing traditional denture for a long time, you may experience bone loss, facial sagging, and premature aging. Eventually, the dentures require replacement. Implant-supported denture encourages bone growth by stimulating the underlying bone and preventing it from disintegrating.
- Improved Bite: Dental industry studies show that implanted denture returns approximately 95 percent of a patient’s bite compared to 25 percent for traditional denture.
- Food Tastes Better: Because traditional dentures usually cover the roof of the mouth with plastic, it can affect the taste and flavor of your food. This isn’t an issue with implant-supported dentures.
