Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Modern dentures are designed to be comfortable, functional, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Boca Specialty Dental & Braces offers three primary types.
Recognizing the signs early makes treatment simpler. Here’s what we look for — and the surest way to know is a quick exam with a Boca dentist.
Evaluate remaining teeth, gum health, and bone level. Discuss all options and take diagnostic impressions and measurements.
Any remaining teeth to be replaced are removed. For conventional dentures, allow 8–12 weeks of healing before impressions.
Precise impressions of your jaw are taken. Bite registration ensures the dentures fit your jaw relationship correctly.
A wax try-in shows you the shape, shade, and fit of your planned dentures before final fabrication. Adjustments are made at this stage.
Final dentures are delivered and adjusted for fit, comfort, and bite. Initial adjustments are common — expect 1–3 follow-up visits as you adapt.
Gum shape changes over time. Dentures may need relining (adding material to the tissue side) every few years to maintain fit.
Conventional dentures typically take 4–8 weeks from consultation to delivery across multiple appointments; immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extractions but require more adjustment over time. Implant-supported dentures take 3–6 months including implant healing.
Restores your ability to eat a wide range of foods.
Improves speech affected by missing teeth.
Missing teeth cause facial sagging that ages appearance; dentures restore that support.
Modern dentures bear no resemblance to the false teeth of previous generations.
The most cost-accessible full-arch tooth replacement option.
The implant option upgrades stability dramatically — eliminating slipping, clicking, and adhesive use.
