Are you missing multiple teeth or even all your teeth? You’re not alone – it’s a problem that is estimated to affect more than 120 million Americans. Dentures provide an excellent solution to restore your smile and regain your confidence. At Lifetime Dental of Gainesville, we offer personalized denture solutions that are crafted to meet your specific needs.
Understanding Dentures: What You Need to Know
Full and partial dentures are designed to replace missing teeth, improve functionality and enhance your smile. Dentures can be completely removable, making them easy to clean, or fixed with dental implants for added stability. To qualify for dentures, patients need to have healthy gum tissue and a strong jawbone to ensure the process is successful.
The Denture Creation Process
Your journey to a new smile begins with a thorough consultation with our team, where we take precise measurements and impressions to craft dentures that fit comfortably. This personalized process ensures that your new dentures not only look natural but also feel as comfortable as your own teeth.
Types of Dentures We Offer
We offer three main types of dentures at our practice in Gainesville.
- Full Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing, full dentures consist of a set of acrylic teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base. They fit snugly over the gums and can be removed for cleaning.
- Partial Dentures: Best for replacing several missing teeth, partial dentures are anchored onto remaining natural teeth with clasps for a secure fit. They fill in the gaps to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: For superior stability and function, consider implant-retained dentures. These use dental implants as a foundation to hold your denture in place, providing a more permanent solution that prevents bone loss over time.
Embrace the Benefits of Dentures
Dentures do more than just replace missing teeth. They can impact various aspects of your life positively:
- Restored Functionality: Improved chewing efficiency and clearer speech can be achieved with dentures.
- Enhanced Aesthetics and Confidence: A complete set of teeth can enhance your facial structure, prevent sagging, and boost your self-esteem.
- Support for Oral Health: Dentures help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth and support the health of your gums.
Affordable Denture Solutions
We understand that affordability is a concern. At Lifetime Dental of Gainesville, we offer competitive pricing and financing options to ensure you have access to high-quality dentures within your budget. Our team is here to help you navigate insurance benefits to maximize your coverage.
Where Your Smile Meets Function and Freedom
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you need full dentures (replacing all teeth) or partial dentures (replacing several missing teeth), they are custom-made according to your mouth’s unique shape to ensure a comfortable fit.
Yes, once adjusted to your dentures, you should be able to eat a wide variety of foods. Start with softer foods and gradually introduce harder foods as your comfort improves. Implant-retained dentures offer even greater stability while eating.
Many dental insurance plans partially cover the cost of dentures. Our knowledgeable staff at Lifetime Dental will work with you to navigate your benefits and help maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible financing options if needed.
Typically, dentures last 5 to 8 years, depending on wear and fit changes over time. Regular dental visits will ensure that your dentures continue to fit snugly and comfortably.
Proper care for your dentures is essential to keep them clean, comfortable, and long-lasting. We recommend cleaning them daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser, soaking them overnight in a denture solution to help maintain their shape, and scheduling regular visits to our office for adjustments to ensure a proper fit and ongoing comfort.
