Traditional Dentures: Finding the Right Fit in Boynton Beach, FL
If you’re missing teeth, **dentures** can be a great way to restore your smile and confidence.
We offer both full and partial dentures to meet your specific needs.
Let’s explore the world of **traditional dentures** together, and find the best option for you.
What Are Traditional Dentures?
**Traditional dentures** are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
They’re custom-made to fit your mouth and can be used to replace all (full dentures) or some (partial dentures) of your teeth.
- Full Dentures: Replace all teeth on either the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial Dentures: Fill in the gaps when some natural teeth remain. They often have clasps that attach to your existing teeth to hold them in place.
Full vs. Partial Dentures: Which is Right for Me?
The best option depends on how many teeth you’re missing and the health of your remaining teeth.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Type | Best For | How They Work |
|---|---|---|
| Full Dentures | People who have lost all their teeth on one or both arches. | They rest directly on the gums and are held in place by suction and sometimes denture adhesive. |
| Partial Dentures | People who are missing some teeth but still have healthy teeth remaining. | They attach to your existing teeth with clasps or other attachments. |
We can help you determine which type of **dentures** is the most suitable option for your unique situation.
A dental exam can help us asses your teeth and provide a consultation.
The Benefits of Traditional Dentures
**Dentures** offer several benefits, including:
- Improved appearance and confidence
- Enhanced ability to eat and speak properly
