What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding soft tissues. These artificial teeth are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for significant tooth loss. At our Melbourne dentist's office near you, we craft dentures using the highest quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure optimal comfort, durability, and natural appearance.

Types of Dentures at Solid Bite

Our doctors have advanced training and years of experience in creating beautiful dental prosthetics (artificial teeth). They use only top-quality materials and offer custom shading, shaping, fitting and alignment for a very natural look.

Full Dentures

Our traditional full dentures are meticulously crafted to replace all natural teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both arches. These complete dentures are designed to restore your smile's functionality and aesthetics while fitting securely over your gum tissue. Using detailed impressions and careful measurements, we create complete mandibular denture and upper dentures that provide proper bite force and enhance your facial appearance while allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again.

No-Metal Partial Dentures

We offer no-metal partials, including ones that have a more cosmetic clasp, providing an excellent solution when you still have some remaining natural teeth. With our no-metal partials, no one will even notice that you are wearing a partial denture, as these removable partial dentures blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These removable appliances are designed to distribute bite force evenly across your remaining natural teeth and underlying bone, helping preserve your oral health long-term while replacing missing teeth effectively.

Implant-Supported Dentures

A conventional denture can be hard to use for some patients since they tend to slip, but an implant-supported denture is removable and fits over a bar placed in the jaw and is then securely clipped into place by attachments. Many people discover that their confidence is improved with implant-supported dentures because of improved esthetics as well as better function when it comes to eating and speaking. These implant retained dentures eliminate the common problems of denture movement and adhesive oozes while significantly improving bite force compared to conventional dentures.

Denture Stabilization Using Implants

Your current dentures can be stabilized by placing a couple of implants with snaps on the lower and four implants with snaps on the upper arch of your mouth. This innovative approach transforms loose, uncomfortable conventional dentures into stable, secure appliances without requiring complete replacement. The implant retained system helps prevent bone loss by stimulating the underlying bone, maintaining your facial structure over time while providing the confidence that comes with well fitting dentures.

Solid Bite℠

The Solid Bite procedure enables you to replace missing teeth or replace your loose, uncomfortable dentures with stable, comfortable teeth fixed with dental implants. Solid Bite gives you back the chewing power of real teeth, representing the gold standard in tooth replacement technology. This advanced system provides unparalleled stability compared to removable dentures while maintaining the convenience of removable appliances when necessary for cleaning, making it an ideal solution for patients seeking maximum function and comfort.

Immediate Dentures

There's no reason to leave our office without teeth after a teeth extraction visit, not when we can fit you with attractive, comfortable temporary dentures. These immediate dentures are placed immediately after tooth extraction, ensuring you maintain your facial appearance and basic function while your gum tissue heals. Once healing is complete, we'll create your final denture for optimal fit and comfort, though these serve as an excellent temporary solution during the healing process.

The Denture Process at Our Melbourne Practice

Creating your perfect dentures involves a comprehensive process designed to ensure optimal fit, function, and aesthetics. Our Melbourne dentists begin with a thorough examination and consultation, discussing your goals and concerns while evaluating your oral health.

The process includes detailed impressions, bite registration, denture aftercare education, and multiple try-in appointments to verify proper fit and appearance. For patients choosing implant supported dentures, dental implant placement occurs first, allowing proper healing before denture attachment..

The Cost of Dentures in Melbourne

The cost of dentures varies significantly based on the type selected and complexity of your case. Basic conventional dentures typically range from $600 to $1,500 per arch, while premium options and implant supported dentures can cost between $2,000 to $8,000 or more per arch.

Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for dentures, and our Melbourne office works with various insurance providers to maximize your benefits. We also offer financing options to make quality denture care accessible to all patients throughout Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Brevard County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, you can eat with dentures, though you may need to make some dietary adjustments initially. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, then gradually reintroduce firmer foods as you adapt to your new dentures. Avoid very hard or sticky foods that could damage or dislodge your dentures, and always follow proper denture care guidelines.

Should I sleep with my dentures in?

It's generally recommended to remove your dentures overnight to allow your gum tissue and oral tissues to rest and recover. Removing dentures overnight also allows for proper cleaning and prevents potential issues with denture adhesive buildup. Soaking dentures overnight in a cleaning solution helps maintain denture cleanliness and prevents harmful chemical accumulation.

How long does it take to adjust to new dentures?

Most patients need several weeks to fully adjust to new dentures, especially if this is their first experience with removable appliances. You may experience initial discomfort, changes in speech, or eating challenges, but these typically improve as your mouth adapts. Following your dentist's instructions and attending all follow-up appointments will help ensure a smooth adjustment period.
