Overview
Custom-made dentures may be a good option if you need to replace most or all of your teeth. Removable dentures can renew your appearance and allow you to speak and eat with ease. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Patricia Roach can provide either full or partial removable dentures for patients facing or living with tooth loss in Orlando, FL. Full dentures can replace your whole upper arch, lower arch, or both while partial dentures rely on your remaining teeth to act as support. At Orlando Advanced Dentists, we will help you decide whether full or partial dentures match your needs and then have your replacement teeth custom made to look beautiful and natural. In some cases, full or partial dentures may be supported by dental implants placed within the jawbone. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Roach today to learn more about full and partial dentures and whether this option is right for you.

Best Candidates for Dentures
You may be a candidate for custom traditional dentures or implant-supported dentures if you have lost most or all of your teeth, but your jawbone and gums are strong and healthy. If you have natural teeth, these may either be extracted for a full denture or kept to provide stabilization for a partial denture. When you visit Orlando Advanced Dentists for your consultation appointment with Dr. Roach, she will examine your oral health and give you your options based on your treatment needs and goals.
What To Expect
The denture process begins with taking an impression of your upper and lower arches. Our professional dental lab will use these molds to create your custom dentures. If you have failing teeth that need to be extracted, Dr. Roach may take an impression of your mouth before removing these teeth so that a temporary denture can be made to wear while you heal. She will instruct the lab to create your dentures of the highest-quality materials and design them for a natural-looking appearance. While full dentures mimic the look of teeth and gums, the replacement teeth on partial dentures will be tinted to match your natural teeth for a seamless result. Once your full or partial dentures are finished, Dr. Roach may adjust them to be comfortable or will affix them securely to your dental implants. She and our team will discuss methods on the best way to care for your custom dentures at home.
Follow-Up
It will probably take some time before your new dentures feel comfortable, but it should eventually be easier to eat and speak normally. If your dentures feel loose, return to Orlando Advanced Dentists to have your dentures adjusted. At home, you will need to keep your dentures clean by brushing them twice every day. Whenever you remove your dentures, they should be soaked to avoid drying them out. Continue to schedule annual exams and biannual cleanings at Orlando Advanced Dentists so that Dr. Roach can watch the wear and fit of your custom dentures and the health of your jaw and gums. She will let you know if your dentures should be repaired or replaced, but with good care, your dentures should last for several years.
