Denture Fittings and Adjustments

Custom Denture Solutions for Missing Teeth

At Crown Dentistry of the Palm Beaches, we offer dentures as a versatile solution for missing teeth, providing both full and partial options tailored to individual needs. Full dentures are ideal for those who have had all their natural teeth removed, offering a complete set for a full restoration of the mouth.

Experts With Conventional and Immediate Full Dentures

Conventional full dentures are placed after all teeth are removed and the gum tissue has healed, which might take a few months. Immediate full dentures, on the other hand, are prepared in advance and fitted immediately after tooth removal, eliminating any period without teeth. These require follow-up adjustments as the jawbone heals and reshapes.

Partial Dentures: An Alternative to Full Dentures

For those who haven't lost all their teeth, partial dentures offer a practical alternative, functioning similarly to a dental bridge but without being a fixed mouth fixture.

Adapting to and Caring for Your Dentures

Adapting to dentures might take some time, as they can initially feel bulky or loose, affecting speech and eating habits. However, with time, they become more comfortable and feel more like natural teeth. Proper care of dentures is crucial; they should be brushed regularly and stored in room temperature water or a suitable cleaning solution when not in use.

Avoid using hot water as it can warp the dentures. Handle your dentures delicately and consult your dentist for any adjustments or discomfort. Our team at Crown Dentistry of the Palm Beaches is committed to ensuring your dentures fit comfortably and function effectively.
