Dentures

Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. At Beachside Dental, we offer custom dentures designed to restore function, appearance, and confidence. Depending on your needs, dentures may also be paired with or Implant Crowns and Bridges as part of a comprehensive tooth replacement plan.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Made from durable, natural-looking materials, dentures are carefully customized to fit comfortably and complement your facial appearance.

To create your dentures, our team will take detailed impressions and digital images of your mouth. These records allow us to design restorations that fit securely, function properly, and provide a natural-looking smile. In some cases, patients interested in greater stability may also explore implant crowns and bridges as an alternative or enhancement to traditional dentures.

Depending on the extent of tooth loss, we may recommend either partial or complete dentures.

Types of Dentures

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. They fill the gaps created by missing teeth while helping maintain proper alignment and oral function. Partial dentures typically attach to neighboring teeth for additional support and stability.

Patients may benefit from partial dentures if they experience:

• Difficulty chewing certain foods
• Changes in speech
• Multiple missing teeth
• A desire to prevent shifting of remaining teeth

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are designed to replace an entire upper or lower arch of missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile. These full-arch restorations help improve facial support, enhance speech, and allow patients to eat more comfortably while regaining confidence in everyday interactions.

How to Care for Your Dentures

Proper denture care is essential to maintaining their fit, appearance, and longevity. To keep your dentures functioning properly, we recommend:

• Removing and soaking dentures overnight
• Cleaning dentures daily with a soft brush
• Rinsing dentures after meals
• Gently brushing your gums and tongue every day
• Avoiding excessively hard or sticky foods
• Scheduling regular dental visits to monitor fit and oral health

With proper maintenance and routine dental checkups, dentures can provide long-lasting improvements to your oral health, comfort, and quality of life.
