Dentures provide a cost-effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth and have a long-standing track record of success. They remain a reliable and popular choice for restoring your smile.
As removable replacements for missing teeth, dentures come in two main types: full dentures, ideal for patients who have lost all their natural teeth, and partial dentures, which fill in gaps by replacing selected missing teeth and enhancing chewing ability. Each denture treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs of the patient, and Dr. Rizvi will work with you to determine the best option for your situation.
Implants vs Dentures
Implant-Supported Dentures
Full Dentures
In some cases, dental issues such as severe tooth decay or advanced gum disease can become difficult to manage, leading to the decision to remove the remaining teeth from one or both jaws. When this happens, full dentures offer a practical and cost-effective solution for restoring both function and appearance.
A complete denture features a thin acrylic base that sits comfortably on the gums, designed to match your natural gum color. Built into this base are porcelain or acrylic replacement teeth that closely resemble natural teeth emerging from the gums. At My Dentist For Life of Coral Springs, we understand that every smile is unique. Dr. Saba Rizvi brings the expertise needed to help you choose teeth that look natural and complement your individual features—whether you’re aiming for a brand-new smile or want to recreate the one you’ve always had.
While dentures have a proven track record, modern advances now offer enhanced fit and aesthetics. In many cases, dental implants can be used to securely anchor dentures to the jaw. These implants can be designed for either permanent attachment or easy removal, depending on your needs. Implant-supported dentures not only provide improved stability and a more natural look, but they also tend to be more durable over time. Dr. Saba Rizvi will guide you through the available options and help you discover how these innovations can make your denture experience more comfortable and satisfying.
Partial Dentures
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, the resulting gaps can make chewing more difficult and may affect your confidence when smiling. Partial dentures offer a budget-friendly solution to replace missing teeth, restore function, and help you smile with ease. They also play a crucial role in preventing your remaining natural teeth from shifting, which helps reduce the risk of future tooth loss.
Most partial dentures are built with a slim metal framework designed to sit comfortably against your gums, providing a secure fit without feeling bulky. This framework is supported by your natural teeth, creating a stable and easy-to-use appliance. Natural-looking replacement teeth are attached to fill in the spaces, while gum-colored acrylic ensures the denture blends seamlessly with your mouth. Because every patient’s needs are unique, Dr. Saba Rizvi partners with experienced dental technicians to craft a customized solution that’s both comfortable and visually appealing.
With advancements in dental technology, implants can also be used to support partial dentures, enhancing stability and allowing for a smaller, more comfortable design. While adapting to dentures can present some challenges—especially for new users—our goal is to make your experience as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
We look forward to helping you explore your options to restore a full, healthy smile and boost your confidence!
