WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DENTURES

  • Genetics
  • Tooth decay
  • Tooth loss or a missing tooth
  • Gum disease
  • Medical and health conditions
  • Dental trauma 

If you have or are experiencing any of these conditions, Great Smile Dental can help by creating a dental healthcare treatment plan that restores your oral health as well as the aesthetic of your smile. Our plan relies on a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of your oral health. Great Smile Dental offers a comprehensive approach to the treatment of these complex dental problems such as dentures or dental implants, all with complete tooth replacement options.

Great Smile Dental can help you regain your highest quality smile through proper dental care, a partial denture, or by providing the best dentures Port St. Lucie has to offer. We will provide the best dental services to regain your oral health, and give you a bright smile that acts and appears just like natural teeth. 

Treatment to help you achieve your desired outcome may include:

  • Denture
  • Tooth replacement
  • Artificial teeth
  • Individual implants
  • Implant retained bridge, and/or a porcelain bridge

Prosthodontics focuses on treatments that restore damaged teeth and normal bite function all while addressing the aesthetics of your smile. It is called prosthodontics because it uses prosthetic teeth of different kinds to achieve a beautiful smile. Prosthetic dentistry incorporates a range of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments to achieve the desired outcome.

CHOOSING YOUR BEST OPTION FOR DENTURES IN PORT ST. LUCIE

Great Smile Dental welcomes onto their team Prosthodontist, Dr. Jacqueline Harden. Together, we work to change lives daily, completing many different treatments including dentures & teeth replacement solutions in our Port St. Lucie office. If most of your teeth need to be extracted and replaced, Great Smile Dental offers multiple options for affordable dentures in Port St. Lucie.

Ready to revitalize your smile? We offer removable denture options for both your upper and lower arches! Removable dentures are held in place and retained by the suction of the upper palette and dental adhesives.

Pros: It is the least invasive form of denture treatment. The prosthetic teeth can be removed and personally cleaned, and it is the most cost-effective option.

Cons: With bone loss, you may need to use an adhesive to help your denture stay in place and your prosthetic teeth must be removed nightly.

If you have sufficient bone density, having implant-retained dentures can be an option to help prevent the majority of unwanted mobility or dysfunction with your removable prosthesis. Your treatment team will discuss if you are a candidate for implants to be placed, utilizing 3D imagery.

Pros: Limited mobility of your prosthesis, less likely to need an adhesive due to having a more solid foundation for the denture. Our implant-retained dentures are custom digital dentures meaning they are less likely to break.

Cons: With improper oral care bone loss may happen and loosen the fit of your implants within your bone, potentially leading to minor shifting of your denture.

For patients who suffer from severe bone loss, who may have been told in the past you are not a candidate for implants, you may be a candidate for fixed, permanent dentures. Dentures and treatment plans are personalized to each patient‘s desired look to help them regain their confidence and happiness.

Pros: Your prosthesis is made from the highest quality material, zirconia. It will be completely personalized to achieve your desired outcome.

Cons: This is the largest investment that requires a long surgical appointment (5–6 hours).

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH DENTURES & TEETH REPLACEMENT SOLUTIONS

Dental veneers can cover the front of teeth that are damaged or misshapen.

If most or all of your teeth require a tooth extraction, sedation will be necessary during oral surgery we will discuss treatment options for placing a denture.

Implants can be placed by a cosmetic dentist for the most natural solution to tooth loss. During the dental procedure, we will handle extractions and replacements of a missing tooth, secure a dental bridge, or secure an immediate denture.

If a bite problem is impacting your dental health we can identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment to realign the bite. This can include restorative treatments, mouthguard therapy, or orthodontics.

We will use these solutions on any teeth that you are keeping in your smile. These treatments should be finished before we place your implants.

ADDITIONAL TEETH REPLACEMENT OPTIONS

If you do not need dentures and you have individual teeth that need to be extracted and replaced, Great Smile Dental offers multiple other options such as:

If you are missing or need to have individual teeth extracted, we will evaluate your bone structure to establish if a single implant is needed.

If you are missing multiple teeth in one area, we will analyze the option of placing multiple implants that will retain a fixed bridge to regain the function of that section of your mouth.

The placement of a porcelain bridge can be an immediate replacement option for a missing tooth or teeth, while also addressing any decay at the gum line that may be present on the neighboring teeth. This is a good option if you have a few missing or damaged teeth in a row.
