Modern Dentures That Look, Feel & Function Like Your Natural Teeth

Dentures are a reliable and affordable solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or need full-arch tooth replacements. Today’s dentures are much more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before to help restore missing teeth so you can smile and chew comfortably again.

If you’re interested in full dentures, partial dentures, or implant-supported alternatives, our Davie, Plantation, and Tamarac offices are currently accepting new patients for consultations. Our clinic uses precise digital impressions and high-quality materials to make sure dentures fit comfortably and last as long as possible. With the right dentist, dentures can dramatically enhance the appearance and function of missing teeth.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore essential oral functions like chewing and speaking. They are custom-made to fit comfortably along your gums and can be crafted as full dentures for complete tooth loss or partial dentures for patients with remaining natural teeth. Modern dentures use advanced materials that mimic natural tooth appearance, creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution for long-term tooth replacement.

What’s the Difference Between Full & Partial Dentures?

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures use a metal or acrylic framework that attaches securely to neighboring teeth, offering stability and improved function. Full dentures rest directly on the gums and create a natural-looking smile. Both types are designed to restore confidence, boost oral function, and enhance facial structure for a more balanced appearance.

How Long Does it Usually Take to Get Dentures?

Most patients receive their dentures within a few weeks, depending on the complexity of their case and the type of denture chosen. The process typically involves dental impressions, bite measurements, try-in appointments, and final adjustments to ensure comfort and accuracy. Although it requires several stages, the result is a carefully crafted set of dentures designed to fit beautifully and function effectively for daily use.

Can You Feel Dentures While They’re In Your Mouth?

It’s normal for new dentures to feel slightly unfamiliar at first, but they become more comfortable as your gums, cheeks, and tongue adapt. Today’s dentures are lightweight, contoured, and customized for your mouth, improving long-term comfort. Some patients benefit from adhesive for extra stability, especially during early wear. With proper adjustments and consistent use, dentures can offer a secure, confident fit that feels natural over time.

How Do You Properly Take Care of Your Dentures?

Caring for dentures involves daily cleaning, soaking, and rinsing to remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria. Use a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser to avoid scratching the prosthetic surface. Store dentures in water or a denture solution overnight to maintain their shape. Regular dental checkups are important to ensure proper fit, monitor oral health, and make adjustments as your gums and bone structure naturally change.

Can You Eat Normally With Dentures In?

Yes, most patients can eat comfortably with dentures after a short adjustment period. Starting with soft foods helps you adapt, and gradually reintroducing firmer textures improves confidence and function. Well-fitted dentures allow you to bite, chew, and enjoy a wide range of foods, although very sticky or hard foods may require caution. Over time, your bite strength and control continue to improve with consistent wear.

Are Implant-Supported Dentures a Better Option?

Implant-supported dentures provide enhanced stability by attaching the denture to dental implants placed in the jaw. This option prevents slipping, improves chewing strength, and helps preserve jawbone density. Many patients find implant-supported dentures more comfortable and reliable than traditional removable ones. They are ideal for those seeking a more permanent, natural-feeling solution for full-arch tooth replacement.
