Dentures – Florence, NJ

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures are an excellent option for people who are missing several, most of, or all of their teeth. Missing teeth makes daily tasks, like eating, speaking, and smiling much more difficult. Depending on the number of teeth that you’re missing and where they are located in the mouth, a customized plan can be created just for you. If you have any existing oral health issues, like gum disease or tooth decay, these need to be treated an eliminated ahead of time. Our number one priority is the health of your smile!

Types of Dentures

There are a few different types of dentures out there to cater to a variety of different needs. During your initial consultation with us, we’ll determine which of the following is ideal for you.

Partial Dentures

This option is great for patients who still have some healthy teeth remaining. A partial denture fits in with surrounding teeth like a puzzle piece and is secured with inconspicuous clasps or brackets. This way, missing teeth in different locations of the mouth can be replaced all at once with a single restoration.

Full Dentures

This traditional option replaces an entire row of missing teeth on the upper or lower arch. Instead of being held in by clasps, traditional dentures are held in by the shape and natural suction of the mouth. Full dentures are designed to meet your unique measurements, needs, and preferences so they appear just like natural teeth.

Implant Dentures

Instead of being held into place by the natural shape and suction of the gum tissue, implant dentures are made stable by a series of screw-like titanium implants that are placed directly into the jawbone via a surgical procedure. This option eliminates any slipping, clicking, and the need for adhesives or clasps. The additional stability allows patients to regain up to 70% of their natural chewing power. Implant dentures are also designed to last many decades, so you don’t need to worry about having them relined, repaired, or replaced.
