Restore your smile and chewing function with custom-fitted dentures designed to look natural and fit comfortably.
Traditional dentures remain one of the most widely used solutions for replacing a full arch of missing teeth. At Sapphire Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Plantation, FL, we provide conventional full dentures that are carefully fitted and designed to restore your smile, your ability to eat, and your confidence.
Dr. Yash Desai takes a comprehensive approach to dentures, evaluating your gum and bone health thoroughly to ensure the best possible fit. For patients who want additional stability, he can also discuss how implant-supported options compare, so you can make the right choice for your lifestyle and goals.
A traditional full denture is a removable prosthetic that replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower arch. It is supported by the gum tissue and relies on natural suction and, if needed, denture adhesive to stay in place during daily use.
Restores Your Smile
Custom-crafted dentures are designed to look natural and proportionate to your facial features, restoring the appearance of a full, healthy smile.
Improves Ability to Eat and Speak
Replacing missing teeth helps restore chewing function and can improve speech that has been affected by tooth loss.
Non-Surgical Option
Traditional dentures do not require surgery, making them accessible for patients who prefer or require a non-invasive approach.
Affordable Tooth Replacement
Conventional dentures are generally the most accessible tooth replacement option from a cost standpoint, with many insurance plans providing some coverage.
Quick Turnaround
Compared to implant-based restorations, traditional dentures can often be fabricated and delivered in a shorter timeframe.
Step 1: Evaluation
Dr. Desai will assess your oral health, including the condition of your gums and bone, and discuss your goals and preferences for your new denture.
Step 2: Impressions and Records
Precise impressions and measurements are taken to ensure your denture fits as comfortably as possible and is proportioned naturally to your face.
Step 3: Try-In
A preliminary denture is created so you can evaluate the fit, appearance, and bite before the final version is fabricated.
Step 4: Final Delivery
Your finished denture is placed and adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit. Dr. Desai will walk you through care and maintenance instructions.
Step 5: Follow-Up Adjustments
Minor adjustments are common as you adjust to wearing your new denture. We will schedule follow-up visits to ensure everything is fitting well.
Our friendly team is here to help with anything you need — from insurance questions to treatment details.
Most patients adjust within a few weeks. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but with time and practice, most people adapt comfortably.
Remove your dentures each night and soak them in a denture cleaning solution. Brush them gently with a soft brush before replacing them in the morning. Continue to brush your gums and any remaining teeth daily.
Dentures typically last five to ten years before they need to be relined, rebased, or remade, as the shape of your gums and bone changes over time.
Snap-in dentures or All-on-4 implant restorations provide significantly greater stability than conventional dentures. Dr. Desai can discuss whether implant-supported options are right for you.
