Dentures: What They Are and Who Should Get Them
Dentures are removable oral appliances consisting of artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base, designed to replace missing teeth and restore function. At Jupiter Dentistry, we use high-quality materials and precise dental impressions to ensure your dentures fit comfortably along your gum line and lower jaw.
There are two main categories of dentures:
- PartialDentures– these are typically composed of a gum-colored plate that holds many crowns; however, many are necessary to replace your missing teeth.
- FullDentures– these replace entire arches of teeth and are typically implant-supported, giving them remarkable stability, durability, and longevity.
Partial dentures can be an inexpensive option for replacing missing teeth. However, they have their disadvantages. They tend to lose their shape over time, loosening and moving around, which can be irritating. We typically recommend implant-supported bridges in this case, which last longer and are aesthetically remarkable.
Full dentures are complete arches of teeth typically anchored by four to six dental implants, depending on your procedure and needs. At Jupiter Dentistry, we use the Prettau® bridge in our Teeth Next Day® procedure, with results that look spectacular and will continue to do so for a long time.
Are You a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Ideal candidates for dentures include patients with significant tooth loss, failing teeth due to gum disease or decay, or trauma. We evaluate your oral health thoroughly to ensure you have healthy teeth, gums, and sufficient bone support in your jaw for optimal denture retention.
Our experienced team guides you through the process, helping you understand your denture options and what to expect. We emphasize proper dental care and hygiene to maximize the lifespan and comfort of your dentures.
Alternative Solutions: Comparing Dentures with Other Tooth Replacement Options
While dentures are an effective solution, we also offer other treatments such as dental implants and dental bridges. Implant-supported dentures provide enhanced stability by anchoring your dentures to implants, combining the benefits of dentures with implant technology. Our Jupiter dentist will help you choose the best option based on your oral health, budget, and lifestyle.
The Denture Journey: From Consultation to Your New Smile
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Comprehensive Oral Examination
During your first visit, our dental team conducts a thorough oral examination to assess your overall dental health, including the condition of your gums, remaining natural teeth, and jawbone structure. We discuss your specific needs and preferences, review your medical history, and explore various denture options available to you. This personalized consultation helps us create a tailored treatment plan that best suits your lifestyle and oral health goals.
We’ll also go over the cost of dentures, giving you a treatment estimate.
Step 2: Tooth Extractions and Healing Period (If Necessary)
If you have teeth that need to be removed due to decay, gum disease, or trauma, our experienced dentists will perform gentle extractions. Depending on your case, you may require a healing period to allow your gums and underlying bone to recover before moving forward. Alternatively, if immediate dentures are appropriate, we can place them right after extractions to minimize the time without teeth, while planning for future adjustments as healing progresses.
Step 3: Taking Precise Dental Impressions and Measurements
To ensure your new dentures fit comfortably and function effectively, we take detailed dental impressions of your mouth, capturing the exact shape of your gums, remaining natural teeth, and jaw alignment. These impressions are complemented by measurements of your bite and jaw movements, which are critical for creating dentures that feel natural and allow for proper chewing and speaking.
Step 4: Try-In Appointment for Fit, Bite, and Appearance Evaluation
Before finalizing your dentures, you will have a try-in appointment where a prototype or trial denture is placed in your mouth. This step allows you and our dental team to evaluate the fit, bite alignment, and aesthetic appearance of your new teeth. We carefully assess comfort, speech, and chewing function, making any necessary adjustments to the denture base, tooth positioning, or color to ensure a natural, beautiful smile that suits your face and personality.
Step 5: Final Delivery of Custom Dentures and Ongoing Care Instructions
Once your custom dentures are crafted to perfection, you will receive them along with detailed instructions on how to wear, clean, and maintain them for long-lasting comfort and oral health. Our dentist will schedule follow-up office visits to monitor the fit of your dentures, address any minor adjustments or denture relines needed over time, and provide ongoing support to help you adapt to your new teeth and enjoy a confident, functional smile.

Dentures Replacement
As traditional (adhesive-bound) dentures lose their shape, they can start to suffer from wear, which can cause irritation and affect your appearance. They also don’t look as good, with the crowns appearing unnatural and artificial.
Our Prettau® implant-supported bridge, which is a full-arch denture, is made from zirconia. Zirconia is the strongest tooth-colored restorative material currently used in dentistry. Unlike acrylic options, zirconia is less likely to crack, chip, or otherwise be damaged; furthermore, it’s stain-resistant, helping you enjoy a brighter, younger smile for much longer than alternative treatments.
The procedure is accurate and predictable. You know what results to expect, and we’re happy to show you the results other patients in Jupiter have achieved with us. Furthermore, the replacement bridge is strong and durable thanks to dental implants, which can last a lifetime. This durability does not interfere with the bridge’s aesthetic – the crowns look and feel completely natural, as if you never received dental work at all.
