Florence Dentures

When you lose several or even all of your teeth, you need to replace them. After all, you don't want to have empty space when you smile. You may feel self-conscious. Your other teeth can shift and cause discomfort. Your jaws can fall out of sync with each other. Even your chewing can become challenging. We at Modestow Family Dentistry offer our Florence dentures as a simple, effective way to restore your full set of teeth.

Complete dentures replace all of your upper or lower teeth. Partials replace just a few, and are also known as removable bridges. There is no long, drawn-out process for getting our Florence dentures. Anyone is qualified to get them. Our dentist takes impressions and sends them to the dental lab. Your dentures are constructed with the applicable number of teeth on a plastic base that is colored to match your gums. The entire piece is then supported with a metal structure. Partial dentures also contain a clasp on either end so that your dentures will attach to the neighboring teeth. Our Florence dentures are held in with adhesive at the gum line (and supplemented with clasps for the partials). In the case of complete dentures, you can have them put in immediately, but it's recommended that you wait for the gum and bone tissue to naturally shrink after the last of your natural teeth have been removed. Doing so will mean a better fit and fewer adjustments later on. There is no such waiting period when you get partial dentures.

Dentures have stood the test of time, and they remain an excellent option when it comes to replacing your teeth. Call our office right now and schedule an appointment for a consultation and examination. Don't settle for any less than a full set of teeth and an appealing smile.
