Dentures
Considering dentures? You need to consult Coconut Creek Winning Smiles, Coconut Creek’s denture expert.
Dentures. The word itself brings up some dated associations. But for many patients, modern dentures are a safe, comfortable, and convenient option for replacing missing teeth and improving their smile. Dentures can also be more affordable than other restorative dental services.
At Coconut Creek Winning Smiles, our experienced dentists can walk you through the denture/tooth replacement process and help you make the choice that’s right for you.
The advantages of dentures
Dentures are replacements for teeth lost to gum disease, decay, or injury. They are custom-made using impressions of your mouth so they fit comfortably and look natural. Dentures can be taken out and put back into your mouth. Your dentist will work with you to ensure your dentures look, feel, and perform just like your natural teeth.
Types of dentures
There are several types of dentures to consider when replacing missing teeth. Dentures can be either full or partial sets, which are a removable option to bridges and placed around your remaining healthy teeth. Your dentist will help you choose the best option for your lifestyle.
Dentures are an economical way to replace missing teeth. After your teeth are removed and your gums have healed, usually about 8-12 weeks, dentures are placed into your mouth. Immediate full dentures, also known as temporary dentures, are inserted immediately after teeth have been removed. While they replace your missing teeth and let you eat, drink, and talk like normal, they must be periodically adjusted after being inserted. Premium dentures most closely resemble natural teeth.
Living with dentures
Living with dentures may take some getting used to, but in short time, eating and speaking will feel normal. Denture care, including daily cleaning and application, is simple.

Ball Attachment Dentures
Providing comfort and stability, the simplest option for implant-retained dentures is the ball attachment denture. Generally used when all of the lower teeth are missing, this system works by placing two dental implants in the lower jaw that allows the patient to snap the denture into place. The stability and functionality of the ball attachment denture give patients approximately 60% of what they had with their natural teeth, as opposed to 10% of the functionality of loose dentures.
Implant Retained Dentures
When you have lost your natural teeth, a variety of complications can arise that impact your physical and emotional health. You may find it difficult to speak clearly or chew your favorite foods. You may be embarrassed and try to hide your smile from others. You may also experience shifting among your remaining teeth, causing additional discomfort in your mouth and jaw.
Implant retained dentures offer a solution that provides comfort and relief. They can replace both upper and lower teeth, giving you a secure, natural-looking option that is not only more comfortable but also more convenient than traditional dentures.
