What are dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. A partial denture fills the gaps when some natural teeth remain; a complete denture replaces all the teeth in an arch. Jonari Dental in Cooper City offers dentures among its restorative options, and your dentist will evaluate which type may suit your mouth.

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. They are made to fit your mouth, and you can take them out for cleaning. They are one of the options we offer when teeth have been lost or extracted, alongside dental implants and bridges.

There are two main types. A partial denture replaces some teeth and is designed to work around the natural teeth you still have. A complete denture replaces all the teeth in the upper arch, the lower arch, or both.

Dentures often rest on the gums, and may use small clasps on natural teeth in the case of partials. Your dentist will explain which design may be appropriate for you.

When may dentures be recommended?

  • Several teeth are missing and a bridge is not an option
  • All the teeth in one or both arches are missing, or are expected to be lost
  • Teeth that cannot be saved need to be extracted
  • You want to restore chewing, speech and the look of your smile
  • A fixed option, such as implants, is not the right choice for you at this time

Do you want teeth that don’t fall out when you talk, smile or sneeze? That sounds funny, but it’s a real fear for most denture wearers. And you don’t have to second-guess something as basic as speaking or laughing. All-on-X is secured to the bone, so no shifting, no glues, no anxiety. Just peace of mind every single day. Life is too short to worry about your teeth falling out. There’s a better way.

The processWhat a typical treatment looks like

How does the denture process work?

  1. Exam & PlanningWe examine your teeth, gums and bite, review your health history and explain which replacement options may suit you.
  2. Preparing the MouthIf teeth need to be extracted first, your dentist will explain what to expect and how the area is allowed to heal.
  3. Impressions & Try-InImpressions or measurements are taken so your dentures can be made to fit you. A try-in lets us check the fit, the look and your bite before the final dentures are made.
  4. Fitting & Follow-UpWe place your dentures, check the fit and show you how to care for them. Adjustments may be needed as your mouth gets used to them.

Dentures or dental implants?

Dentures are removable, while dental implants are anchored in the jawbone to hold replacement teeth in place. Some people also choose to stabilize a denture with implants. Which approach makes sense depends on your bone, your gums, your general health and your goals.

After your exam, Dr. Rosario Streett will explain the options that make sense for you, so you can decide with clear information.

Caring for your dentures

Remove and clean your dentures every day with a soft brush and a cleaner made for dentures, and handle them over a towel or a sink of water so they are not damaged if dropped. Keep brushing your gums and any natural teeth, and give your mouth a rest from the dentures as your dentist advises.

Keep attending your regular exams. Over time the mouth changes, and dentures may need adjustment or replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Have another question? Call us — in English or Spanish.

What is the difference between a partial and a complete denture?

A partial denture replaces some missing teeth and works alongside the natural teeth you keep. A complete denture replaces all the teeth in an arch. Your dentist will evaluate which one applies to you.

Will dentures look natural?

Dentures are made to match your mouth and your face, and the teeth are chosen to look natural. We check the look at the try-in stage, before the final dentures are made.

Will it feel strange at first?

Many people need time to get used to dentures. Eating and speaking may feel different at first, and small adjustments to the fit are common. Tell us if something rubs or feels uncomfortable so we can check it.

Do I take dentures out at night?

Dentists often advise giving the gums a rest from dentures for part of the day, usually overnight. Your dentist will tell you what is right for your case.

Can dentures be held in place with implants?

In some cases, yes. Implants can be used to help stabilize a denture. This depends on factors such as your bone and general health, which your dentist will evaluate.

Do dentures last forever?

No. Dentures can wear, and the mouth changes over time, so they may need relining, adjustment or replacement. Regular exams let your dentist check how they fit.
