Dentures are custom-made dental appliances that replace your missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Tampa Dental Wellness of Carrollwood, dentures are a practical and affordable solution if you have lost teeth due to age, injury or dental disease. They allow you to enjoy life without worrying about gaps in your smile or difficulty chewing your favorite foods.
What Types of Dentures Are Available at Our Carrollwood Office?
There are several types of dentures to meet your unique needs. Our team will discuss your options and guide you in choosing the best solution for you.
Our denture options include:
- Full dentures: Replace all your teeth in your upper or lower jaw
- Partial dentures: Replace several missing teeth and attach to remaining natural teeth
- Implant-supported dentures: Use dental implants for added stability and comfort
What Are The Benefits of Choosing Dentures?
Dentures can restore your ability to eat a wider variety of foods, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. They also support your facial muscles, which prevents a sunken look that can occur with tooth loss. We design dentures that look natural and feel secure. Many patients find that dentures allow them to return to social activities and daily life with ease and confidence.
“After years of dental issues, I finally have a smile I’m proud of thanks to my new dentures. The dentists took time to make sure everything fit perfectly. I appreciate their attention to detail and kindness throughout the entire process,” one patient shared.
What Is The Denture Process in Our Carrollwood Office?
Getting dentures involves several appointments for impressions, fittings, and adjustments. Our team uses gentle techniques and clear communication to make each step comfortable and stress-free.
We start with an initial consultation and oral exam, followed by measurements for a custom fit. Once the dentures are ready, we check the fit and appearance of your new dentures, and make any final adjustments.
With proper care, your dentures will last longer and keep your mouth healthy. Our team will provide detailed instructions and support to make the adjustment to life with dentures easier, but the steps include the following:
- Clean your dentures daily to remove plaque and food particles
- Handle your dentures with care to avoid breakage
- Visit your dentist regularly for adjustments and oral exams
- Store your dentures in water or a denture solution when not in use
Confidence in Every Smile
With proper care, your dentures typically last 5 to 8 years before needing replacement or adjustment.
Some initial discomfort is normal, but most patients adjust within a few weeks. Our team will make adjustments to improve your comfort as needed.
Yes, dentures restore much of your chewing function. Start with soft foods and gradually add more variety as you adjust.
If your dentures feel loose or cause sore spots, contact our office for an adjustment. A proper fit is important for comfort and function.
